🤘🎧A Full-Circle Moment for Gen X Joe!!!🎵🎸

As Gen X Joe celebrates 100 episodes across the Youth Gone Mild/Gen X Marks the Spot podcasts, bringing Phil Soussan into the conversation feels like the perfect way to mark the occasion.

The story comes full circle when you consider how Gen X Joe’s podcasting journey began. His first step into the podcasting world came as a guest on the Lights Camera POP podcast following the passing of Ozzy Osbourne. That experience helped spark the journey that would eventually lead to 100 episodes of rock interviews, incredible stories, and conversations with musicians who helped shape the soundtrack of his generation.

Soussan played on The 'Ultimate Sin' album, co-wrote “Shot in the Dark,” is preparing to launch his next chapter in rock history with 'Cosmo Fighter', his upcoming solo album scheduled for release in late 2026 through BraveWords Records.

Who knew that a 'Shot in the Dark' guesting role on a podcast would lead to 100 episodes of his own show for Gen X Joe.

This is an episode and occasion that is worthy of turning the volume all the way up.

For Season 3, Episode 17 of the Youth Gone Mild Podcast, host Gen X Joe has Adam Bernard as his guest. Bernard is a music journalist with 25 years of experience and a reputation for championing indie artists. In 2020 he wrote 'ChemBro: Embracing Beastmode to Beat Cancer', a memoir about being diagnosed with testicular cancer that had spread to a lung while he was training for his fifth-degree black belt in Kempo, which is remarkable. However, he and Gen X Joe discuss his latest book, 'One Hit Wondering: The Stories of 40 One Hit Wonders + Other Tales From The Crates', which was released July 21, 2026.

The book grew out of a column where he listens to a one-hit wonder's album and finds three songs, other than the hit, that people should hear. The book collects 40 of those columns, which took over three years to write. It profiles 80's, 90's, and 00's artists and spotlights his favorite hidden tracks from their albums.

Join the one hit wonder podcaster, Gen X Joe for this week's latest episode of the Youth Gone Mild Podcast, "Where Hairlines Fade, But, Rock Never Does!"

🎧👉 YOUTH GONE MILD GUEST: SEAN MANNING.👈🎸

Buckle up for Season 3, Episode 16, because this one's a deep cut from the SoCal underground. English guitarist Sean Manning — a road-tested player who logged time with HURRICANE and Quiet Riot offshoot Little Women — teamed up with singer Paul Rafferty (the original voice of Bonham ) to form The Exiles, who spent the early '90s grinding away on the Southern California circuit and stacking up a serious pile of unreleased material from the band.

Now comes 'Turning Time,' a full-scale rework of those original ten songs — plus five bonus tracks Manning unearthed while transferring old analog reels to digital.

Highlights include the soaring "Soul Woman," the hypnotic, Stones-flavored "Ain't No Fool," and "Soul Has No Home," which channels serious early Rod Stewart, Bad Company, The Rolling Stones and more type of energy.

Listen now for the story behind the record and much more on this Double Dose of Denim Week Interviews on the Youth Gone Mild Podcast.

🎧👉 GUEST SPOTLIGHT: ANTHONY WHITE.👈🎸

Hey YGM fam, host Gen X Joe got a guest this week's for the arena rock diehards.

For Season 3, Episode 15, Generation Landslide frontman Anthony White, is his first guest for a Double Dose of Denim Week Interviews .

White is a musician whose résumé reads like a who's-who of your favorite deep cuts — and their new album 'Existence' dropped on July 3rd via Ron Keel RFK Media.

And White's rock pedigree? We're talking Xcursion alongside future Slaughter mastermind Mark Slaughter, a stint in Cold Gin — the first officially sanctioned KISS tribute band — playing next to future KISS guitarist Tommy Thayer, and an MCA Records deal as a founding member/drummer of Cold Sweat.

Check out this Vegas based arena rock sound. And if it doesn't get your pulse up, check your pulse.

🔥 FROM SHOTGUN MESSIAH TO ZAN CODY... THE STORY CONTINUES! 🔥

Some bands leave behind an era. Some bands help DEFINE it. 🤘

Before there was ZAN CODY, there was Shotgun Messiah, a hard rock band that made serious noise in the late ’80s and early ’90s with their sleazy, in-your-face brand of rock ’n’ roll.

Now, after years apart, Harry Cody and Zinny Zan have reunited, bringing their musical history, memories, and chemistry back together under the name Zan Cody!

🎸 ZINNY ZAN

🎸 HARRY CODY

From the glory days of Shotgun Messiah to reconnecting years later and finding their way back to making music together, this is a story about friendship, music, second chances, and keeping the rock alive.

And now... for Season 3, Episode 14 🎙️ ZINNY ZAN & HARRY CODY ARE GUESTS ON THE YOUTH GONE MILD PODCAST FOR A DOUBLE DOSE OF DENIM WEEK INTERVIEWS!

Gen X Joe gets the guys talking about the Shotgun Messiah years, the highs and lows, what led to their reunion, the creation of Zan Cody, and what it's like to step back into the spotlight together.

Expect stories, laughs, rock ’n’ roll history, and maybe a few things you NEVER heard about the Shotgun Messiah days. 😎🔥

🎸🎨 WELCOME ROB GRAD TO ANOTHER UPCOMING DOUBLE DOSE OF DENIM WEEK INTERVIEWS! 🎨🎸

Some artists never really stop creating. They just find different canvases.

Here in Season 3, Episode 13, Rob Grad, former bassist/vocalist for Kik Tracee and lead vocalist/guitarist Superfine, the band that gained an international audience through its appearance on Buffy The Vampire Slayer and the show's soundtrack, is one of those people.

Rob is also an accomplished artist, bringing that same creativity and imagination from music into the visual arts. 🎨

His story isn't simply about looking back at the days of Kik Tracee or the rock scene of the early ’90s. It's about what happens when a creative person continues to evolve, explore new ideas, and eventually finds his way back toward music.

From guitar strings to paintbrushes, Rob has continued to express himself through art in different forms, we're getting the chance to hear the stories behind the music, the artwork, the experiences, and the person behind it all. Gen X Joe is so looking forward to streaming Rob's story this coming week. 🤘🎨
