Let us examine the truths and falsehoods surrounding the most recent bonus episode of Lightnin’ Licks Radio...

FACT: It is typical for the Lickers to lag a bit behind the “Year’s Best” list-making frenzy which consumes most of the sonic commentary mediasphere. FICTION: LLR is the only EOY list that matters. FACT: It’s still worth the flippin’ wait. Check back the first week of January, baby! FICTION: This month’s super-special-secret-friend is two-time Saturn award-nominated* actor Crispin Hellion Glover. FACT: Our actual SSSF, Michael Paulus, is an interesting, hilarious, and kind soul with great taste in music. FICTION: LLR podcast bonus episode #24 is one to miss.

So don't miss it. It's available now everywhere.

Clearly, vinyl records play a significant role in Jay and Deon’s lives. But how did this all start? Well, episode 40 examines their origin stories. Ten classic artists who helped shape the Lickers’ sonic identities are discussed and another crackin’ mixtape is curated, created, and (hopefully) cranked. God gave rock and roll to us, Goddamn it! Put it in your souls already.

New episode now streaming across most platforms.

Lightnin' Licks Radio Episode #37 is a sonic wonderland filled with laughter and adventure, featuring Jay and Deon discussing some of their favorite vinyl releases from bands/artists filed under the letter "J". It's really something. Totally serious. Damn near 40% through the flippin' English alphabet already... kind of a big deal. Link in comments or wherever you get your podcasts.

This is our true crime podcast. This is also three-plus hours of engaging content featuring a few comedians relentlessly speaking over one another. SIIIIIIKE!
It's simply Jay and Deon yapping about the vinyl records they’ve been listening to as of late. Their super-secret-special friend, MLive crime reporter and stupendous social gathering contriver Cole Waterman joins the party to add some crackin' tunes to a mixtape. You should totally join along as the three old pals discuss music, writing, and the meaning of life and/or why it's a gruesome, tiresome, pointless goddamn slog. Available just about everywhere you could possibly get podcasts. Enjoy!
