Kyle Meredith & The New Public Radio Paradigm

Jason and Paul had the esteemed pleasure of opening up the Storytellers Stage at the 2025 Ohana Festival. The topic -- how art influences activism. The guys were joined by skateshop owner and artist Paul Kobriger, Pearl Jam tour photographer Geoff Whitman, and Surfrider Foundation CEO Dr. Chad Nelsen. The conversation touches on how each felt inspired by their craft to do good and push for positive change in their corner of the globe and beyond.Please considering donating to our September 2025 fundraiser benefitting National Alliance on Mental Health HEREBuy Pod MerchBecome a PatronWatch Us on YouTubeFollow Us on InstagramFollow Us on FacebookFollow Us on TwitterPlease a short survey HERE to help us better the show!

Jason and Paul welcome graphic artist Rob Sheridan back to the show to deep dive on how he made the gorgeous art that was displayed behind Pearl Jam on their incredible Dark Matter tour. Rob's use of practical effects, macro lens, and unusual chemistry instruments (and an overhead projector!) created some of the most compelling visuals ever seen at a rock show before.Please considering donating to our September 2025 fundraiser benefitting National Alliance on Mental Health HEREBuy Pod MerchBecome a PatronWatch Us on YouTubeFollow Us on InstagramFollow Us on FacebookFollow Us on TwitterPlease a short survey HERE to help us better the show!

Jason and Paul celebrate 16 years of Pearl Jam's Backspacer by shrinking it from its full 37min...to less than 30 (and about half the songs). It's the LP2EP exercise and it was harder than you might think.Please considering donating to our September 2025 fundraiser benefitting National Alliance on Mental Health HEREBuy Pod MerchBecome a PatronWatch Us on YouTubeFollow Us on InstagramFollow Us on FacebookFollow Us on TwitterPlease a short survey HERE to help us better the show!

Jason and Paul celebrate 34 years of No Code with friend of the show and author Brian "Stip" Stipelman. But the record wasn't really celebrated in 1996 when it came out...at least not commercially. But why? The guys sift through history of the band, the musical landscape of the time and more to try to figure out why.Please considering donating to our September 2025 fundraiser benefitting National Alliance on Mental Health HERE Buy Pod MerchBecome a PatronWatch Us on YouTubeFollow Us on InstagramFollow Us on FacebookFollow Us on TwitterPlease a short survey HERE to help us better the show!
