This Might Be A Podcast
From This Might Be A Wiki
This Might Be A Podcast is an audio podcast that began in 2018, hosted by Greg Simpson in association with www.punknews.org. Each episode focuses typically on one They Might Be Giants song, though some focus on groups of songs, or groups of fans. Typically Greg introduces a guest and speaks with them on how they discovered TMBG; they then discuss the song's music and lyrics, listen to a selection of fan covers, followed by Greg and the guest rating the song on a 1-10 scale.
This Might Be a Podcast has featured current They Might Be Giants members Danny Weinkauf and Marty Beller, frequent contributors Stan Harrison, Dan Levine, and Mark Pender, former members Brian Doherty, Tony Maimone and Dan Hickey, and notable fans such as Open Mike Eagle, John Darnielle of the Mountain Goats, Corn Mo, Franz Nicolay of The Hold Steady, and podcaster Justin McElroy.
