PCA Podcast, 11.27

Almost our last show at KTEQ (our big Christmas show next week will be our last). Some tributes to the PCA, some tributes to all of you who have listened to the PCA over the years. 

In case you missed any of the goodness, you can find it at...

I hope you’ll join us next Tuesday for a Christmas extravaganza, and that you’ll continue to listen once we’re just a podcast.

PCA Podcast 11.13

Most of you have probably heard by now, I’ll be leaving KTEQ in early December and heading to a new life in Arkansas. Two shows still to go though:

First up, I thought maybe you might make suggestions for songs that remind you of me in some way. That’s in 2 weeks, 11/27.

Then there’s the big Christmas show the first week of December, 12/4.

Make sure to tune in for both.

Also, I could use some help...what should become of the PCA radio show/ podcast? The Facebook page will certainly continue, and I thought I might look for a similar station to house me in Little Rock, but I’m not sure if those of you out there actually want a PCA show. Should I try to keep it going? Would a podcast only version be worthwhile? Shorten the format? I want to know what YOU think.

Oh, and there was a show this week, and not a bad one either, all about the top 10 political songs. As always, you can check out anything you might have missed at...

And in case I haven’t said it lately, thanks for listening all these years!

PCA Podcast 10.30

Get your halloween on with our special edition of the PCA!

J pored over hundreds of thousands of songs and put together an amazing playlist...it begins with some fun and games, but then two dark stories unfold, one after the other, in musical form. Think of it as back-to-back Halloween concept albums. 

Don’t forget too that you’ve got more week to catch up on last week’s episode, which featured an in-depth interview with Christy Tidwell and Laura Kremmel on the best horror films of all time. 

Catch up on all the fun at

PCA Podcast 10.16

If you’ve always wanted to listen to the show, but were afraid of having to slog through an entire 3 hours, do I have an episode for you! 

My music source -- Youtube -- was abruptly cut off last night in the middle of the show. Managed to get through about an hour and ten minutes worth of discussion and music relating to the rock and roll hall of fame. 

Next week’s show will feature a very entertaining discussion of horror films by two of our stars here at the School of Mines -- Christy Tidwell and Laura Kremmel. But I think there will be some time left over to revisit this topic and finish up the list. 

In the meantime, if you want to hear the beginning, you can find it as always at...

PCA Podcast 10.2

This week’s show focused on the best documentaries of all time. We also took a little time to pay tribute to Sting on his 67th birthday and to The Replacements’ album Let it Be. All that AND great 80s music. 

In case you missed any of the fun, you can catch up at

Next week: album covers?

PCA Podcast 9.25

This week’s podcast makes for a tough listen. The music’s amazing, but a bit of a downer. Top 10 most depressing songs ever, and I thought I’d just fill the rest of the show out with all your “depressing” suggestions that didn’t make the list. Make sure you’re in your happy place before you start! As always, you can find it in podcast version here...

http://matthewkadkins.podomatic.com/

And join us next week for an all new edition of the PCA with an all new top 10!

Tuesday nights, 6-9 on KTEQ, FM.

PCA Podcast 9.4

This week’s podcast is up and raring to go...

http://matthewkadkins.podomatic.com/

We spend some time thinking about the best female stand-up comedians, listen to some great 80s tracks, and hear new music from Culture Club and Steve Perry.

All are welcome!

[popcultureacademy]

PCA Podcast 8.14

Last night we revisited the first few hours of MTV from way way back August 1, 1981. A mixed bag of music, a mixed bag of videos, but a moment that deserves to be remembered. 

Check out the podcast version at...

And don’t miss next week’s show, the first of a new school year!

[popcultureacademy]

PCA Podcast 7.31

This week’s podcast is up for all you PCA fans. Took a trip through cover-land last night: covers of 80s tracks AND 80s covers of songs from previous decades. Included a deep look into two versions of The Talking Heads’s “This Must Be the Place” AND a close examination of Cyndi Lauper’s cover-filled classic, She’s So Unusual. PLUS, a discussion of Harold Bloom’s Anxiety of Influence and as a bonus -- impressions from Dana Carvey and Benedict Cummerbatch.

Next week: POP ROCK!!!

PCA Podcast 7/24

Last night’s radio show is now up for those of you who might want to check it out. 

We spent the evening looking at remixes of classic 80s tunes -- some very danceable stuff! Got into a number of topics related to remixes, as well as discussions of the Showtime show Counterpart and the most recent season of Westworld. I also spent some time bemoaning my age via talk about the game Fortnite. All good stuff, which you can check out at...

http://matthewkadkins.podomatic.com/

Shall we do some covers this upcoming week, since so many of you were thinking that way yesterday anyway? It’s a topic we’ve covered before, but it’s always one that’s worth revisiting.

An especially fun episode this week -- opened things up to any and all genres and eras and got some great requests from all of you. In addition, got to play a few of my own favorites that don’t usually make it into the rotation...Van Morrison, Robert Johnson, Johnny and June Carter Cash.

A little late getting this up, but great show this week...

J. joined me for a countdown of the best male singers of the new wave era. No spoilers, you’ll have to actually listen. 

And we only made it through the first 10, which means we’ve got some more work to do at some point in May.

Also, tributes to Harry Anderson and Art Bell.
