About this podcast

Keep on rollin', baby. It's your favorite podcast about nu-metal, featuring Bryan Quinby (Guys) and John Cullen (Blocked Party) covering a classic nu-metal album every month. More than just the music, the podcast really digs into the vibes of the time from two guys who lived it, and never stopped thinking nu-metal was good. Probably because it really, really is.

Limp Bizkit's "Results May Vary", or Fred's Worst

Jun 4, 20261h 51mEp. 820

How do you follow up selling roughly 16m copies of each of your last two records while dealing with your guitarist leaving the band and nu-metal collapsing? You release whatever this is, Limp Bizkit's 4th studio album an

Creed's "My Own Prison", or Album Title Directly Explains Feelings of Podcasters During Episode

May 5, 20262h 4mEp. 810

Is Creed nu-metal? Probably not. But it didn't stop them from putting out what is either a post-grunge album three years too late or a buttrock album about five years too early. Yes, this album somehow came out in 1997 (

Korn's "Issues", or Following Follow the Leader

Apr 6, 20262h 17mEp. 800

We've covered four of Korn's "Big Five" album run from 1994-2002, and only one remained, the one that might arguably be their best: "Issues". Jonathan Davis gets sober and decides that Korn should be the new Led Zeppelin

Uncle Kracker's "Double Wide", or Kid Rock's Rib

Mar 5, 20262h 1mEp. 790

We think the story goes thusly: Kid Rock has some success in circles he did not expect (like Adult Pop radio) with "Only God Knows Why". He also has a lot of success with more nu-metal offerings like "Bawitdaba" and "Cow

Fear Factory's "Obsolete", or Getting the Story Straight

Feb 4, 20261h 56mEp. 780

We dive into Fear Factory for the first time ever on the pod, and this is a concept album: just ask the band members. Or maybe only ask one of them, because if you compare all of their answers, no one is *really* sure wh

Spineshank's "Strictly Diesel", or Searching for a Single

Jan 5, 20262h 5mEp. 770

After literal years of trying, one of Bryan's most beloved nu-metal albums, "Strictly Diesel", gets the P.O.D. Kast treatment, and it's probably no surprise that he still loves it...but John loves it too. A true testamen

The Prodigy's "The Fat of the Land", or Light Shoulders, Light Pelvis

Dec 4, 20252h 12mEp. 760

Bryan goes all the way back to 1997 and relives a lot of his friends and himself grappling with the fact that this dance music was hitting very hard but at the end of the day, was still dance music. John, on the other ha

Hoobastank's "The Reason", or When We Learned Hoobastank Might Be Canadian

Nov 6, 20251h 54mEp. 750

Last time we covered a Hoobastank album, we learned of the conspiracy theory that they might be the feds. This time, we're wondering if they're Canadian because they seem like very nice, normal, well-adjusted guys, and t

Dope's "Felons and Revolutionaries", or A Band Who Are Neither of Those

Oct 6, 20252h 0mEp. 740

Dope has titled this album "Felons and Revolutionaries" because they really want you to be invested in the idea they sold drugs to fund the making of it. And I guess because they think they have revolutionary ideas about

(hed)pe's "(hed)pe", or Are You Sure About That?

Sep 5, 20252h 20mEp. 730

It's the debut album that leads us to asking the question "are you sure about that?" perhaps more than any other, as we tackle (hed)pe's first record, where they insist they were influenced by G-funk (you sure about that

30 Seconds To Mars' "30 Seconds To Mars", or How To Say a Lot Without Saying Anything At All

Aug 5, 20251h 46mEp. 720

As we know, nu-metal is not exactly a genre filled with smart guys. But as far as dumb guys in the scene go, Jared Leto might take the cake. A man who sure has a lot of ideas about space, life, and the human struggle, th

Slipknot's "Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses)", or Stories=Bulls**t

Jul 7, 20252h 3mEp. 710

There may not be a band on earth that is more invested in their own myth-making and Slipknot truly slide over the edge on this, their third record, as they clearly try to make something designed to make a little pop turn

Rage Against the Machine's "The Battle of Los Angeles", or Rage's Last Stand

Jun 5, 20252h 3mEp. 700

Whether or not you think Rage Against the Machine is nu-metal, we can all agree on one thing: they definitely did not like each other while making this record, which stands as their last–to date–of original material. Som

Brian "Head" Welch's "Save Me From Myself", or How Korn Gave Head to Christ lol

May 5, 20252h 11mEp. 690

It's a rare album on the P.O.D. Kast that has us eschewing the normal preamble because we know there'll be so much to talk about with the album, but not only is that the case here, it's our longest main episode ever, as

Coal Chamber's "Chamber Music", or the Nu-Sophomore Slump

Apr 9, 20252h 3mEp. 680

We really, really liked Coal Chamber's self-titled debut. We really, really do not like this. One of nu-metal's most famous cases of a sophomore slump, the band runs away from the silliness and giant riffs that made them

Deftones' "Adrenaline", or Bryan's Favorite

Mar 6, 20252h 5mEp. 670

After a few months in a row of investigating the silly side of nu-metal, we get back to business here with one of the absolute pillars of the genre, it's Deftones' debut "Adrenaline". It's a fascinating conversation beca

Bloodhound Gang's "One Fierce Beer Coaster", or Once You Jimmy Pop, the Fun Does Stop

Feb 6, 20252h 7m0

Truly one of the most heinous and terrible albums we've ever listened to for an episode, we go wildly deep on this monstrosity that Bryan thought was funny in 1996 and realizes today that it's not funny now and it defini

Methods of Mayhem's "Methods of Mayhem", or Nu-Metal's Densest Text

Jan 6, 20251h 56mEp. 650

For the first time in the show's history, there is no preamble, there is no nu-metal news, there is no lead-up into discussion of the album. No, this 1999 album is nu-metal's richest text, and we needed the full length o

Insane Clown Posse's "The Great Milenko", or Finding Meaning in a Storm of Faygo

Dec 9, 20241h 59mEp. 640

It's one of the most highly-anticipated episodes in POD Kast history, as Bryan finally gets a chance to delve into his long and complicated history with Insane Clown Posse, as we also review the long and complicated hist

DMX's "It's Dark and Hell is Hot", or [insert dog noises]

Nov 6, 20241h 52mEp. 630

We love covering a nu-metal-adjacent album, and perhaps no rapper was toeing that line more than DMX in 1998, as his debut album came out equal parts vicious and solemn, and we cover it all here. You know that John was s
