Show notes
On this Throwback Thursday episode, originally released as Episode 150 on April 10th, 2023, Josh Caterer of Smoking Popes joins the show to discuss “Megan,” a fan-favorite deep cut from the band’s 1997 major label debut Destination Failure. Though tucked near the end of the album, the song found a lasting connection with listeners thanks to its tender melody and emotionally elusive lyrics. Josh shares the story behind writing “Megan,” dives into its ambiguous narrative, and reflects on how a seemingly understated track became one of the most beloved in the Smoking Popes catalog.
