It's worth a listen, even if Hyden's being kind of a whiny, hipster, idiot (which he calls himself out on a bit) at the beginning. It's a good episode.
I thought it was one of the better eps of this podcast. Brian Koppelman had lots of really insightful & interesting things to say about the band.

I agree. Do you know what Koppelman's podcast is? He mentioned it in the segment. I'd love to give it a listen.

It's called "The Moment with Brian Koppelman" I believe it comes from Slate. Excited to hear the Peter Buck/Corin Tucker episode he teased.

Oh that's hilarious. A friend recommended that to me a few weeks ago and I've got a few episodes waiting for me. I didn't realize he was the host. Too funny.

Koppelman is a screenwriter and entrepreneur who somehow manages to mention his work on the screenplay for Rounders in every episode I've listened to.
