Every Pod You Cast: Ghost in the Machine, 1981

It’s Every Pod You Cast, a podcast dedicated to the British rock
band The Police! Justin Mancini of
TheCineMaverick.com & Cinema
Joes is joined by Chris Mancini and Randy Allain of
Media/Lit as they delve into the discography of
the postpunk power trio, from 1978 to 1983.


 


In the fourth official episode of the season, Justin, Chris, and
Randy discuss The Police’s divisive 1981 album. Justin offers
some alternative state songs for his home state of New Jersey,
Chris close-reads Stewart Copeland’s paean to fame, and Randy
offers a sample of his mellifluous singing voice. And of course,
they find time to discuss other artists they’ve been listening to
apart from The Police.
