FINALE :: You ARE What You LISTEN To

GQ Magazine

A worthy supplement for those who read the magazine. As the description airs, a behind-the-scenes look at written subjects explored in the print copy. The hosts can err on the side goofy but do occasionally toss out some fashion or pop culture gold. While certainly no fashionisto (masculine fashionista?), I can vouch that the men provide [relatively] low priced ways for the every-man to become a sartorialist. Key phrase: every-man. They are well aware of the astronomically priced items featured within the pages of GQ. Therefore, it is acknowledged, oftentimes with solutions to achieve the same look on a non NBA salary.

In the last few episodes, the editors having covered 50 years of LA rock, include interviews with Tom Waits and Anvil, an LA based heavy metal band (featuring guitar riffs that will melt your face). Baseball fans, you absolutely MUST listen to "Episode 118: Two Months in Hell with Lenny Dykstra." Kevin Coughlin elaborates on his story in the April issue of GQ... craziness ensues.

If you are looking for a light, sometimes educational podcast that is akin to discussions you might have with your best friends, then this is it. Enjoy.

A weekly infusion of men’s style and culture, the GQ Podcast gives you the story behind the story. Listen in on conversations between editors and writers about the best in movies, fashion, music, and other areas of pop culture. iTunes

:: Programming Note ::

Originally, the You ARE What You LISTEN To series was set to cover ten(10) individual podcasts. However, due to low reader commentary and the realization that there are only seven(7) core podcasts in my repertoire, this post will close the series. Be on the look out for a new series to begin in the weeks ahead.
