This Week on America’s Podcast – we’re heading into the desert with the album that made U2 a household name: The Joshua Tree. Joining us for this sonic pilgrimage are Travis Perrotta and Andy Rodriguez to help decide—does this album “Bullet the Blue Sky” or make you want to “Exit” because you “Still Haven’t Found What You’re Looking For”? No spoilers—but Bono might be lurking in your conscience.

Tracks of the Week:

• Jerry picks Giant’s “I’ll See You In My Dreams” – pure 80s power-ballad magic, Aqua Net sold separately.

• Andy throws down “Rock Forever” by Judas Priest – because some priests don’t preach, they shred.

• Mooger chills things out with “Don’t Dream It’s Over” by Crowded House – a song so smooth it should come with a hammock.

• Travis goes full Zappa with “My Guitar Wants to Kill Your Mama” – rock, rebellion, and a guitar with unresolved issues.

• And we wrap it all up with Marc’s pick: Sammy Hagar’s “Encore, Thank You, Goodnight” – because who doesn’t love a dramatic mic drop?

Until next week, go where the streets have no name, be kind, and as always—be a good human.

This Week on America’s Podcast… We’re flipping the switch and turning on the Black Light as we dive headfirst into Smith/Kotzen’s "Black Light/White Noise"—joined by our special guest Eric Lussier from The French Connection!

Is this album a sonic revelation or just some artsy white noise that makes you want to unplug the stereo and apologize to your ears? No spoilers—but we definitely brought sunglasses for the solos.

Tracks of the Week:

• Marc cranks the chaos with “You Gimmie Nothing” – Scumbag Millionaire (and they say romance is dead)

• Mooger gets glam and deep with “Theater of the Soul” – Poison

• Jerry lights it up with “A Million Suns” – Arch Enemy (because one sun just isn’t metal enough)

• Eric drops the mic with “Reach” – Militia Vox (and we’re still trying to catch it)

So until next week—keep your guitar shredding, your amps loud, and don’t stare directly into the black light(unless you're into that).

This Week on America’s Podcast… We’re having a high time (in every sense) as we float through Heart’s "Dog and Butterfly" with rock-loving guests Tim Wirasnik and Travis Perrotta!

Tracks of the Week:

• Mooger goes metalcore with “Perfect Soul” – Spiritbox

• Marc kicks it old-school MTV with “Goodbye To You” – Scandal

• Tim rides the night with “The Sun Goes Down” – Thin Lizzy

• Travis brings the powerhouse with “Piece Of My Heart” – Big Brother & the Holding Company
