Barry had the pleasure of joining our friend and frequent guest Matt Carlson on the podcast portion of his project, What Am I Making, back on August 19, 2024.
Matt is the undisputed king of the Pops on Hops multiple guest club, having appeared on our podcast a whopping nine times! He is a talented musician and songwriter from East Lansing, Michigan, whom Barry met as part of an online community created by Pete Dominick, the host of the Stand Up With Pete Dominick podcast. During one of their weekly hangouts, Matt shared the name of his latest band, Harborcoat. Barry caught the R.E.M. connection, which led to a Pops on Hops episode to discuss the album Joy is Elusive. The outtakes alone from that conversation also led to a Pops on Hops bonus episode to discuss Matt's Top Five R.E.M. albums. Matt has contributed songs to our Christmas bonus episodes in both 2021 and 2022, and he served as the beertender for our first and only live episode. Most recently, Matt and his daughter Maddie joined us for last year’s Father’s Day show to discuss Maddie’s favorite album of 2023.
So, obviously, when Matt asked Barry to chat about his favorite live show he ever attended, he jumped at the chance! Enjoy!
