Power Chord Hour

11/12/2025

Back with a new Power Chord Hour for ya this week (out now everywhere) with returning guest Justin Perkins of Mystery Room Mastering!

This time we are chatting all about Justin’s remaster work on the upcoming reissue of one of my all time favorite records: The Replacements 1984 classic Let It Be.

I love this record and I loved talking to Justin about what we can expect on the new reissue.

Find our interview anywhere you listen to podcasts or go watch our full video interview over on the PCH YouTube page. If you watch the episode then you are allowed to say that you’ve seen my video and that it’s phony rock n roll (I don’t wanna know)

Tomorrow on the radio show (and out everywhere in podcast form on Monday) we have Flyin’ Jay of the band Year of the Dragon!

We will talk all about the bands latest ep Dragon Burn, Flyin’ Jays time in the legendary band Fishbone, songwriting processes, getting over writers block and lots more. It’s a fun one!

Tune in tomorrow at 8 pm to 107.9 WRFA to hear it all early or find it online everywhere on Monday

We will be back with a new one next week for ya, but have you checked out this months episodes so far?!

A total honor having Nancy Wilson of Heart on the show as well as John Doe of X who made his PCH return! Both guests were so much fun to talk with these last two episodes.

Give episode 170 and 171 of the pod with John and Nancy a listen everywhere now and keep an eye out because both Heart and X are on tour for the rest of the summer and right into fall! I’m excited to catch both of them on the road in the next few weeks.
