"Jimmy The Exploder" this week on the podcast.

One of the White Stripes' oldest songs, played at their first gig ever, and is the opening track on their debut album.

The perfect welcome mat to Jack and Meg!

"This Protector" with @melgiannini.bsky.social

The raw and emotional finale to White Blood Cells leaves you wanting more every time you listen.

Melissa covered the White Stripes in their early days, and gives some great insight into Detroit's garage rock scene.

Currently listening to the latest @hardestpodtopod.bsky.social
It’s all about “This Protector”- the second of my three favorite songs by The White Stripes. So many gems from this episode, including Detroit insider Melissa Giannini reminiscing over The Gold Dollar.
(long live the dive bar!!!)

It's Rag and Bone time!!

Our good pal Nate from Dead Summer returns to discuss one of the catchiest and quirkiest tracks in the White Stripes catalogue.

A very late addition to Icky Thump, this song made the album that much more memorable.

A great deal of this week's podcast is devoted to the White Stripes being inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Alexis Young, lead singer of 'Blonde Diamond' joins the show to discuss "In the Cold, Cold Night" - arguably the Stripes' most intimate song, AND with Meg White on lead vocals.

This was an excellent conversation, and a GREAT episode!

I was brave enough to go on a White Stripes podcast and say “I don’t really like their gimmick”

This pod is really fun and if you’re a Stripes fan you should be listening regardless of me being a generational hater
Take all your problems and rip 'em apart.

@johncullen.bsky.social joins the show to discuss 'Little Acorns.'

They chat about the song's serendipitous origins, then John and Ryan begin a spirited conversation about the band's approach to music.

Always a pleasure talking to @schaaptop.bsky.social about one of my favorite bands. Somehow, we also talk about The Jetsons, Robocop, Tesla versus Edison, wacky drum kits and about 100 other bands as well.
Maybe we did the Astro on the podcast this week.
@cultureoflosing.bsky.social certainly did the Astro.

Dan and Ryan discuss this catchy, rowdy track off the White Stripes' debut album.

Shelter of Your Arms is the song this week. Is this your first time hearing about this song? It's a hell of a deep cut B-side, and it sounds like nothing the Stripes had done previously.
