So if you're interested in learning about new tunes, exploring some out of the ordinary bands, or want to hear 50-somethings gripe about why we don't want to stand through 5 openers at a concert, give …And Out Come The Opinions a listen. Come for the conversation, stay for the opinions.2026 Music Social Sciences

  • Episode 6: GET OFF MY DAMN PLAYLIST
    Apr 15 2026

    In this infantile, yet maturing episode of AOCTO, the b'ys actually listen to what the kids have to say. The discussion focuses on what their spawn listen to and wonder if their music tastes influence what the kids seek out on streaming. There also is an attempt to discuss various genres but John steamrolls through with an angry rant about a former MTV VJ. All this AND a jam packed What Are You Listening To (now known as WAYLT). Come for the childlike whimsy, stay for the opinions.

  • Episode 5: Words are Very Unnecessary If It's an Instrumental
    Apr 10 2026

    In this verbose yet spirited episode of the podcast starting with an ellipsis, our lyrical miracles discuss the age old topic of words vs sounds when it comes to music. They try to sway each other into what's more important to a music listener and why the correct answer is the music (wait, someone biased is writing this synopsis). They also whine about a new album from a future Arena Rock band fronted by a former member of Nirvana (here's a hint: it's not Chad Channing), discuss all sorts of music they are listening to at the time (very heavy on old punks this episode), Brad Drinks Bourbon (he also realizes you can't actually see him drink but wants you to know it was a very nice Angel's Envy Rye finished in a Caribbean Rum Cask), and so much more. Come for the lyrics, stay for the opinions.

  • Episode 4: Radio Free Golconda
    Apr 7 2026

    In this nostalgic episode of AOCTO, our microphone fiends talk about the medium that took their music obsession to new heights: College Radio. The boys discuss not only college radio's impact on their lives but also on society and discuss whether or not it's a dying medium. They also discuss a top 50 list on Brit Pop (lots of Suede talk in this one), what they are listening to for the week (spoiler alert, it's a LOT), Brad drinks again (Penelope Valencia), and the opinions are plentiful (I mean, it's in the damn title).
