About This Podcast

Keep on rollin', baby. It's your favorite podcast about nu-metal, featuring Bryan Quinby (Guys) and John Cullen (Blocked Party) covering a classic nu-metal album every month. More than just the music, the podcast really digs into the vibes of the time from two guys who lived it, and never stopped thinking nu-metal was good. Probably because it really, really is.

Jun 05, 2026 1h 51m

Episode 81: Creed's "My Own Prison", or Album Title Directly Explains Feelings of Podcasters During Episode

May 05, 2026 2h 4m

Is Creed nu-metal? Probably not. But it didn't stop them from putting out what is either a post-grunge album three years too late or a buttrock album about five years too early. Yes, this album…

Episode 80: Korn's "Issues", or Following Follow the Leader

Apr 07, 2026 2h 17m

We've covered four of Korn's "Big Five" album run from 1994-2002, and only one remained, the one that might arguably be their best: "Issues". Jonathan Davis gets sober and decides that Korn should be…

Episode 79: Uncle Kracker's "Double Wide", or Kid Rock's Rib

Mar 05, 2026 2h 1m

We think the story goes thusly: Kid Rock has some success in circles he did not expect (like Adult Pop radio) with "Only God Knows Why". He also has a lot of success with more nu-metal offerings like…

Episode 78: Fear Factory's "Obsolete", or Getting the Story Straight

Feb 05, 2026 1h 56m

We dive into Fear Factory for the first time ever on the pod, and this is a concept album: just ask the band members. Or maybe only ask one of them, because if you compare all of their answers, no…

Episode 77: Spineshank's "Strictly Diesel", or Searching for a Single

Jan 06, 2026 2h 5m

After literal years of trying, one of Bryan's most beloved nu-metal albums, "Strictly Diesel", gets the P.O.D. Kast treatment, and it's probably no surprise that he still loves it...but John loves it…

Episode 76: The Prodigy's "The Fat of the Land", or Light Shoulders, Light Pelvis

Dec 04, 2025 2h 12m

Bryan goes all the way back to 1997 and relives a lot of his friends and himself grappling with the fact that this dance music was hitting very hard but at the end of the day, was still dance music.…

Episode 75: Hoobastank's "The Reason", or When We Learned Hoobastank Might Be Canadian

Nov 06, 2025 1h 54m

Last time we covered a Hoobastank album, we learned of the conspiracy theory that they might be the feds. This time, we're wondering if they're Canadian because they seem like very nice, normal,…

Episode 74: Dope's "Felons and Revolutionaries", or A Band Who Are Neither of Those

Oct 07, 2025 2h

Dope has titled this album "Felons and Revolutionaries" because they really want you to be invested in the idea they sold drugs to fund the making of it. And I guess because they think they have…

Episode 73: (hed)pe's "(hed)pe", or Are You Sure About That?

Sep 05, 2025 2h 20m

It's the debut album that leads us to asking the question "are you sure about that?" perhaps more than any other, as we tackle (hed)pe's first record, where they insist they were influenced by G-funk…

Episode 72: 30 Seconds To Mars' "30 Seconds To Mars", or How To Say a Lot Without Saying Anything At All

Aug 05, 2025 1h 46m

As we know, nu-metal is not exactly a genre filled with smart guys. But as far as dumb guys in the scene go, Jared Leto might take the cake. A man who sure has a lot of ideas about space, life, and…

Episode 71: Slipknot's "Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses)", or Stories=Bulls**t

Jul 07, 2025 2h 3m

There may not be a band on earth that is more invested in their own myth-making and Slipknot truly slide over the edge on this, their third record, as they clearly try to make something designed to…

Episode 70: Rage Against the Machine's "The Battle of Los Angeles", or Rage's Last Stand

Jun 05, 2025 2h 3m

Whether or not you think Rage Against the Machine is nu-metal, we can all agree on one thing: they definitely did not like each other while making this record, which stands as their last–to date–of…

Episode 69: Brian "Head" Welch's "Save Me From Myself", or How Korn Gave Head to Christ lol

May 05, 2025 2h 11m

It's a rare album on the P.O.D. Kast that has us eschewing the normal preamble because we know there'll be so much to talk about with the album, but not only is that the case here, it's our longest…

Episode 68: Coal Chamber's "Chamber Music", or the Nu-Sophomore Slump

Apr 10, 2025 2h 3m

We really, really liked Coal Chamber's self-titled debut. We really, really do not like this. One of nu-metal's most famous cases of a sophomore slump, the band runs away from the silliness and giant…

Episode 67: Deftones' "Adrenaline", or Bryan's Favorite

Mar 06, 2025 2h 5m

After a few months in a row of investigating the silly side of nu-metal, we get back to business here with one of the absolute pillars of the genre, it's Deftones' debut "Adrenaline". It's a…

Episode 66: Bloodhound Gang's "One Fierce Beer Coaster", or Once You Jimmy Pop, the Fun Does Stop

Feb 06, 2025 2h 7m

Truly one of the most heinous and terrible albums we've ever listened to for an episode, we go wildly deep on this monstrosity that Bryan thought was funny in 1996 and realizes today that it's not…

Episode 65: Methods of Mayhem's "Methods of Mayhem", or Nu-Metal's Densest Text

Jan 06, 2025 1h 56m

For the first time in the show's history, there is no preamble, there is no nu-metal news, there is no lead-up into discussion of the album. No, this 1999 album is nu-metal's richest text, and we…

Episode 64: Insane Clown Posse's "The Great Milenko", or Finding Meaning in a Storm of Faygo

Dec 09, 2024 1h 59m

It's one of the most highly-anticipated episodes in POD Kast history, as Bryan finally gets a chance to delve into his long and complicated history with Insane Clown Posse, as we also review the long…

Episode 63: DMX's "It's Dark and Hell is Hot", or [insert dog noises]

Nov 06, 2024 1h 52m

We love covering a nu-metal-adjacent album, and perhaps no rapper was toeing that line more than DMX in 1998, as his debut album came out equal parts vicious and solemn, and we cover it all here. You…
