It’s Every Pod You Cast, a podcast dedicated to the British rock band The Police! Justin Mancini of TheCineMaverick.com & Cinema Joes is joined by Chris Mancini and Randy Allain of Media/Lit as they delve into the discography of the postpunk power trio, from 1978 to 1983.
In the third official episode of the season, Justin, Chris, and Randy discuss The Police’s third album from 1980. They debate whether Don’t Stand So Close to Me is truly reprehensible, recall Sting’s sincere efforts to literally bury Andy’s music, and find common ground when discussing out-of-touch military figureheads. And of course, they find time to discuss other artists they’ve been listening to apart from The Police.
