We've reached the end of another letter! In this particularly nerdy episode, Jesse and Sylvan look back at the songs in our countdown that start with the letter P. We also share some statistics about how the alphabet has fared so far.

After the official episode, the hosts do some planning for our trip to meet up at the Concert for Cumberland Heights: A Tribute to John Hiatt.

Hosts Jesse Jackson and Sylvan Groth do the best to remember (or perhaps forget) their religious educations as we dig into the 2nd to last song we'll be discussing from John Hiatt's 2012 album, The Eclipse Sessions.

What do most people mean when they say God made humans in his own image? How far is John's tongue in his cheek as he takes us through the Land of 1,000 dances? And most importantly, how many stars will this song earn from these two Hiatt fans.

As mentioned on the podcast, Sylvan also recently joined SetLusting Bruce to sit in as Jesse interviewed her neighbor Bow Thayer, who once opened for John Hiatt and has a new album coming out. Be sure to listen to that episode, too.

How far do we have to go, and how many tangents will hosts Jesse Jackson and Sylvan Groth take on our discussion of John Hiatt's 1997 song "Pirate Radio"? No matter where we end up, we have fun on the journey as we discuss the context of the time both when the song was written and when it may be set.

Do you have stories of driving your car real slow and listening to Hiatt? Would you like to weigh in on our rating on this or another song? Be sure to leave a review or send us a message.

Join your hosts Jesse Jackson and Sylvan Groth, one of whom may have had a Pink Bedroom of their own, as we discuss a song from John Hiatt's Two Bit Monsters.

We review some wonderful covers of the song about the girl who's got it's all before breaking down all the lyrics and unpacking some musical similarities to Neil Diamond?

Does this early song in the Hiatt catalog deserve more stars than the hosts dole out? Be sure to tell us after you check our youtube playlist with all the covers.
