Across the great divide, lies a podcast and that podcast is ROKK TALK! This week (more like this month), John and Colin revisit The Band’s classic final performance on Thanksgiving 1976 as captured in Martin Scorsese’s concert film, The Last Waltz. Listen, as your second-favorite rock-analysis-duo break down the film’s performances and rank them in a winner-take-all smackdown. Grab a drumstick, ’cause this one ain’t gonna be pretty. Happy Thanksgiving!
Help! I need a podcast! Help! Not just any podcast! Help! You know I need a podcast, HELP! Well, help is on the way with Rokk Talk.

Buying music. It used to be the only way of aquiring music, and now it’s something you’d have to pay most people to do against their will. On this episode, Colin and John take a look back at their earliest music-buying memories, as well as their takes on the way music consumption has changed as we make our way through the era of streaming. It’s an episode that very easily could’ve been called “An Ode To Silver Platters”. Continue reading
We all have a song in our hearts. The question is: do we all have a song worth hearing? Some of the celebs on this list seem to think so. This week, Colin and John talk about ill-fated heroes of Tinseltown who have attempted a transition from the silver screen to the bargain bin at the last Sam Goody in existence. From Shatner to Willis we have it locked down. It’s a party all the time at Rokk Talk!
P.S. R.I.P Alan Vega – frontman of Suicide – who is mentioned in this podcast. We miss ya already brother!
Some people say, “I like all kinds of music.” Those people are either liars or pod people. Probably both. The truth is we all have different musical tastes. Nobody has the time to listen to and like everything. Meaning this week, John and Colin discuss some of the artists they have never gotten into. Maybe it’s a lack of interest or time or patience or whatever. I mean, who has the time for Krautrock? Everybody has their reasons, and on Rokk Talk… The Reason is you.
P.S. Don’t forget to stick around for John and Colin’s album recommendations. Click more on this page if you just can’t wait!
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the poet laureates of rock ‘n’ roll. The voices of promise. The guys who forced folk into bed with rock. Who disappeared into a haze of substance abuse only to emerge and find Jesus. Who were written off as has-beens only to shift gears and release some of the strongest podcasting of all time. Ladies and gentlemen — Mildly Pleased presents, ROKK TALK!!! With John Otteni and Colin Wessman.
P.S. In this episode we talk about concerts!
P.P.S The spelling of “Rock” as “Rokk” was an artistic decision not a mistake. Deal with it. *puts sunglasses on*
