A Positive Jam breaks great albums down track by track to find out what makes the music great, what goes into the songs, and why these albums matter. The second season covers The Hold Steady's breakthrough second album, Separation Sunday, an ambitious follow-up that saw the band refine their sound, their style, and their narrative approach, and which put them on the map with the wider music-listening audience. Season 2 is hosted by Shawn Westfall, with Mike Taylor and Daniel Shvartsman alongside. It will feature a variety of guests while focusing on the key lyrical themes of the concept album, its resonance with classic works in both rock and roll and beyond, and the way it built on The Hold Steady's debut album, Almost Killed Me (subject of Season 1 on A Positive Jam) in almost every meaningful facet.

Emily Harris, host of the Get Offset podcast and guitarist in Sundae Crush, joins A Positive Jam to talk about the Hold Steady and specifically to drill into the sound and the gear that the band uses. She talks us through her experience as a fan, getting to know Tad Kubler and Steve Selvidge, and how the band has evolved over the year. It's a great way to round off Season 1 of A Positive Jam.
We're starting to prepare for Season 2, and if you have any interest in being involved or any requests, get in touch with us. On twitter we're @shortmanstudios, @danielshortman, and @mbrookstaylor. By email, you can find us at mail@shortmanstudios.com.
