Our friends at Glide unleashed a Spinal-Tap inspired podcast show called Smell The Glove, hosted by Andy Tennille. The second-ever episode (Smell The Glove #2: Podcast With Dave Schools) features an interview with Widespread Panic ![[LINK]](http://dgold.info/radio/wp-content/images/aoutside.gif)
bassist Dave Schools down at the Austin City Limits Festival 2005. Dave Schools recently hosted the first-ever Official Widespread Panic podcast (available on iTunes) as the band’s own website made a foray into the emerging audio format.
This is a different Dave Schools podcast! Smell The Glove is from Glide Magazine, not from WidespreadPanic.com. In this particular podcast, the producer Andy mixes related songs in between the interview segments.
The recording quality on the spoken interview is more like the phone-call audio blogs style, not radio studio quality mics. It’s listenable and interesting if you’re a DAS fan or like the many kinds of music that Schools likes to talk about. The audio quality of the songs is better than the vocals. I like how they use songs to illustrate the discussion of music. Dave Schools talks about:
-
* Austin,
* Dave’s love of Hendrix,
* the importance of New Orleans’ music as an influence on Panic
* and what’s shuffling around Schools’ iTunes these days.
There are also pictures of Dave Schools and pix of ACL Fest 2005, and access to other episodes of Smell The Glove - The Podcast from Glide. Check it out here: http://www.glidemagazine.com/stg/widespread_panic.php
