Andrea recently launched a new podcast called The Watchers where she and her cohost Jodie Mim watch Jersey-focused movies and TV. They're kicking off their first season with the Showtime series Yellowjackets . If you haven’t watched Yellowjackets, it’s about what happened to a (fictional) New Jersey high school girls’ soccer team who spent 19 months in the Canadian wilderness when their plane crashed there in 1996. The show follows the girls in 1996 and 2021. It's a total celebration of 90s nostalgia, in general, and 90s Jersey nostalgia, in particular. You can watch the series premiere for free . But really, all you need to know about that show to enjoy this episode is that it has the most incredible soundtrack full of some of the best music to come out of the 90s. Aside from talking about a few specific songs the show has used, we keep it spoiler free, so you don't need to be a Yellowjackets fan to enjoy this one. We also sneak in this incredible cover of "Because the Night" by Screaming Females and Garbage. It's not in the show, but you know. Jersey. If you're a Yellowjackets fan and decide to give The Watchers a listen, let Jodie and Andrea know what you think. And definitely give them a follow over on Twitter and Instagram .

Waiting for God to Turn on the Lights with The Lower Aetna 1:36:37

2 years fa1:36:37

1:36:37

Today's Left of the Dial guest is Dylan Gallimore, who Philly folks may be familiar with from his fantastic band Honeyjar (we’re big fans), but today he’s on the podcast to talk with us about his equally fantastic new project The Lower Aetna whose debut album Waiting For God to Turn on the Lights was released on November 4th. It's a really smart and thoughtful concept album about a family dealing with the fact that one of their members has become a deep believer in the QAnon conspiracy. Dylan shares his thoughtful perspective, taking us through the album's rotating points of view and what inspired him to begin writing it in the first place. And because–as two people from the best state in the country–they're legally required to, he and Andrea talk a bit about growing up in Jersey–specifically Dylan's idyllic upbringing in the straight-out-of-a-fairytale town of Medford Lakes . If you're in the Philly area, go see The Lower Aetna at Kung Fu Necktie on Jan. 21 . Follow The Lower Aetna on Instagram . Pick up Waiting for God to Turn on the Lights now.
