Bestselling author Susan Orlean of The New Yorker is our pizza guest. Then there's pizza headlines, and the pizza topic is "pepperoni."

Susan Orlean is a bestselling author and long-time staff writer for The New Yorker. Her 1998 book, “The Orchid Thief," was famously adapted to the film “Adaptation,” in which Meryl Streep plays a version of her. Susan authored 2018’s “The Library Book," 2021’s “On Animals,” and wrote for HBO’s “How To with John Wilson."

In this episode, Susan recalls childhood memories of Cleveland's Little Italy pizza scene, discusses cooking pizzas with her Ooni oven, and if one of the Pizza Pod Party hosts could be a future subject for her.

Sing Along ! Here are the Lyrics :

I have finally found a way to live,
Just like I never could before,
I know that I don't have much to give,
But I can open any door,
Everybody knows the secret,
Everybody knows the score,
I have finally found a way to live,
In the presence of the Lord.
(music)
 I've  finally found a place to live,
Just like I never could before,
And I know that I don't have much to give,
But soon I'll open any door,
Everybody knows the secret,
Everybody knows the score,
I've  finally found a place to live,
In the presence of the Lord.

In the presence of the Lord.

This week we are discussing what the interweb calls the New Wave Of Classic Rock! There have been bands doing the retro-rock thing for years, but this phenomenon seems to be gaining momentum lately and we decided to focus on new-ish bands that have released albums in the last year or so. Indeed, rock n’ roll is not dead and is in the very capable hands of these killer new classics!

What is it we do here at InObscuria? Every show Kevin opens the crypt to exhume and dissect from his personal collection: an artist, album, or collection of tunes from the broad spectrum of rock, punk, and metal. The younger generation is picking up guitars and playing that classic blues-inspired hard rock again! This retro rock thing is not quite as new as the interweb is making it out to be, but who cares? It’s a breath of freshly regurgitated air!Our hope is that we turn you on to something new.

Songs this week include:

1. Rival Sons - “Guillotine” from DARKFIGHTER (2023)
2. Classless Act - “This Is For You (w/ Justin Hawkins)” from Welcome To The Show (2022)
3. Thunderpussy - “Firebreather” from Firebreather - single (2023)
4. The Cold Stares - “Nothing But The Blues” from Voices (2023)
5. Tyler Bryant & The Shakedown - “Burnin’” from Dirty Work EP (2023)
6. Donna Cannone - “Pushed” from Donna Cannone (2022)
7. Jared James Nichols - “Skin ‘n Bone” from Jared James Nichols (2023)
8. Crown Lands - “Dreamer Of The Dawn” from Fearless (2023)
