Joel Radio #176: The Good Book
Jul 17th
Last year Joel interviewed author Steve Miller and it was the most popular show in the podcast’s history. Now, Steve is back with the release of his new book, Juggalo: Insane Clown Posse and The World They Made, a thoroughly researched history of the band, its fans and the misconceptions the world has about them. Steve ‘s book skewers the FBI report that labeled Juggalos as gang, talking to the the lawyers on both sides and the young people who were harassed and punished as a result of their fandom. Joel discusses his own experiences in working for ICP, why the media usually gets Juggalos wrong, and why this book is one of the few journalistic efforts that gets it right. Joel however is somewhat miffed about his pretentious photo credit, a goof in an email that made it to print. Also, find out why Faygo went on record with Steve, the real tax dollar costs of the government’s Juggalo investigations, and get a journalist’s description of the Joel Radio studio – it’s not pretty.

Joel Radio #158: Rock, Roll, Murder and Clowns
Oct 14th
Steve Miller is the man that wrote the book about Detroit Rock ‘n Roll. He’s actually written about a lot of things – things that Joel likes, too which makes him an excellent guest for this installment of Joel Radio. Joel enjoyed Detroit Rock City: The Uncensored History of Five Decades of Rock ‘n Roll in America’s Loudest City and has million questions about The MC5, The Stooges, Ted Nugent and Bob Seger and more. Was Grand Funk Railroad really a big deal? Why does everyone hate Nugent? Was Bookie’s really the CBGB of Detroit? What really happened when Jack White started that fight? There’s a lot to cover, but Steve either lived it, or talked to those who did and it makes for a fun, fascinating discussion. If you lived or enjoyed the Detroit Rock scene from the 1960s through the 2000s, you’ll like this show. There’s even some Ramones, Johnny Thunders and Bruce Springsteen talk shoehorned in to the conversation. Also, Steve’s latest book tackles the bizarre Bob Bashara murder case, and the guys talk about how a rich a guy with a secret BDSM life had his wife killed for money and how the whole thing looks like a Coen Brothers movie. Plus, Steve has book coming next year about Insane Clown Posse and their Juggalo fans, hear Joel’s opinion on why most mainstream writers get their coverage wrong, why Mike E. Clark is a genius and his importance to ICP, and Joel’s message to the Juggalos and why his association with ICP has been nothing but a good thing. This is a great talk on so many levels, so listen to this, then bust your Raw Power vinyl and keep rocking.

Corey and Joel Radio Show #78: No Love For a Ninja
Jul 19th
It’s that time of year again, and Joel is broken, sore and worn out from working as Upchuck the Clown at the Gathering of the Juggalos. Did this year live up to the usual psycho debauchery or was it a wash out? Why do grown ass men run around in clown makeup? As Joel explains why he’s still down with the clowns, Corey demonstrates that he’s the biggest ICP hater around. One thing they can agree on is that the new Superman movie is weak, even in IMAX 3D. In a weak summer for the movies, can Clerks 2 survive, and what is that old fossil Woody Allen doing chasing after Scarlett Johannsen? As the difference between Geeks and Juggalos is debated, Joel breaks out a lengthy shout out list to thank all his swell new homies like “Pickle” and “Schitzo”. Plus, Joel’s pro wrestling announcing debut and why comics can’t hang with the juggalos.
