uswithoutThem
The uswithoutThem Podcast explores the musical output of one of the greatest bands of the 21st century: mewithoutYou. Hosts Nic Houle, Steven Eiler, and Joel Harrison each bring their love of mewithoutYou and some specific expertise to their song-by-song analysis of the mewithoutYou discography. Steven, a music theory educator and expert, breaks down the musical themes of each track and draws connections between songs and albums. Joel, a Ph.D. in religion with expertise in philosophy of religion and Christianity, explains the lyrical themes and the connections to and critiques of evangelical Christianity. Nic, a devoted mewithoutYou listener and Tolkien reader, ties these threads together with the perspective of the average mwY fan listening to the podcast.

WE RECORDED A FOUR HOUR EPISODE
Post-production took some time
"Though we wanted it sooner, we had to live our lives!"
And you know who we are
You held our words on your device from afar
As we rambled blind
Listening to our whispering in your ear
Soft but getting stronger
Telling you the only purpose of listening
Is to listen a bit longer
Hey folks, uswithoutThem is back! We're sorry for the long break between episodes, but life happens, all of us our doing great, and we're gonna try and get the rest of Season 2 to you this summer, beginning with Part 1 of a roughly four hour conversation on "Four Word Letter (Pt. Two)!" Hopefully your summer road trip plans just got a whole lot nerdier!
