State of Love & Trust: A Pearl Jam Podcast

Jason and Paul looked at the Pearl Jam catalog and remembered that only two of 12 studio LP's are titled after a song on said album. So the guys aimed to fix that...choosing a song from each of the remaining 10 albums best suited to be the title track thus renaming each of those albums. That plus the return of Lyrics to Live By and Live Cut of the Week - Unemployable.Please consider donating to our February fundraiser HEREBuy Pod MerchBecome a PatronWatch Us on YouTubeFollow Us on InstagramFollow Us on FacebookFollow Us on Twitter

Jason and Paul welcome a titan of the Pearl Jam fan community to the show to discuss and celebrate the Voters for Choice concerts in Washington, D.C 30 years later. Kathy Davis started the Footsteps fanzine in 1992 and was co-editor/founder of fan website Two Feet Thick until its shuttering in 2013. She's been to nearly 200 shows and has stories for days. She discusses the significance of these two concerts which began a new chapter for the band amid a new dynamic with Dave Abbruzzesse's exit and Jack Irons entrance, plus Pearl Jam's ongoing fight for fair ticketing with Ticketmaster. The context for the shows is massive as well considering America's current abortion climate.Please consider donating to our January fundraiser HERE.Become a PatronWatch Us on YouTubeFollow Us on InstagramFollow Us on FacebookFollow Us on Twitter
