In the latest episode of the Dig Me Out Podcast, Tim and Jay are looking back at 2023. They celebrate classic favorites and new discoveries.
Our episode begins with a walk down memory lane, revisiting the wide range of albums we've reviewed over the year. We've dug into everything from Soundgarden's grunge to No Doubt's punk flair and the alternative nuances of bands like Hole, Filter, and Afghan Whigs. We also took a fresh look at some of the biggest albums of the era in our "Diamond episodes," re-examining iconic records like Pearl Jam's "Ten" and No Doubt's "Tragic Kingdom." It's been a journey of rediscovery, seeing these familiar albums in a new light.
One of the most rewarding parts of this year has been the new musical discoveries, many of which were introduced to us by our incredible Patreon community. We've been thrilled to uncover hidden gems and lesser-known artists, broadening our musical horizons. Bands like Dirty Three and T-Ride are examples of the unexpected and exciting music we've encountered.
Our roundtable discussions have been another highlight of the year. We've dived deep into specific themes, such as the impact of Depeche Mode in the 90s and exploring the "evilest records of the 90s" for our special episode 666. These discussions aren't just about sharing our music knowledge but about engaging in meaningful conversations that bring new insights to the music we love.
We also must remember the insightful interviews conducted by

These conversations have given us and our listeners a unique window into the minds of the artists, revealing the stories behind their music and their experiences in the industry.Looking ahead to season fourteen in 2024, we're buzzing with excitement.
