We're talking about a band important enough that we use them in our show description. It's NIRVANA week!

One of the pod's musical heroes is here to talk about his own musical hero. Musician and producer Rory Phillips (The Impossibles, The Stereo) joins the show to talk about his own Nirvana superfandom and what it was like growing up as a budding musician in the era of Nevermind. Alex and Jon try to not make Rory feel too weird about their own love for The Impossibles before jumping into Nirvana's amazing late night TV career arc, including iconic performances on SNL and the MTV VMAs. Plus the debut of SKANK, DANK, OR TANK?
