The year in MUNA: a review. The band reminisces about 2023, from their tour in Australia, to the process of creating The One That Got Away "musical," to Gaychella, to a small global moment called The Eras Tour, to of course the beautiful journey that has been recording Season 3 of this world-famous podcast. 

But don't touch that dial - there are things in store for Season 3 that you couldn't even possible have imagined in your wildest dreams. Keep your eyes 'n ears on this feed, updates coming soon!

Is it healthy to be jealous of your talented friends? What is the true meaning of laying down your weapon and can it mean anything at all? Who in the band is an extrovert and who is an introvert and who is kind of both depending on the situation? These questions and more are tackled with the aforementioned talented friend, Amber Bain (The Japanese House) and aren't we all just lucky to be able to listen in!

Happy holidaze from your friends and world-famous podcasters MUNA. The band gets into the holiday spirit with a festive word association game (thank you for the suggestion Kello)! They also get into the story of Katie’s special boot, liturgical dancing, and Jo’s emotional response to puppets. Ho ho ho etc!

This week's returning guest, political activist and co-host of The Muck Podcast Hillary Dougherty, didn't mince words when she asked to come back on the show: "boygenius just released the album of the year and I need to come on and talk about it!" OK. Luckily the debut full-length by this indie supergroup made up of three young, talented women (Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers and Lucy Dacus) simply titled 'the record' IS pretty great, and well deserving of all the accolades it's been getting. Go figure.

Songs discussed in this episode: Not Strong Enough (Live, Saturday Sessions) - Boygenius; Ladies (Live, Ohana 2017) - Fiona Apple; Kyoto - Phoebe Bridgers; Souvenir, Without You Without Them, $20, Emily I'm Sorry, True Blue - Boygenius; The Boxer - Simon & Garfunkle; Cool About It, Not Strong Enough - Boygenius; Strong Enough - Sheryl Crow; Revolution 0, Leonard Cohen - Boygenius; Chelsea Hotel #2 - Leonard Cohen; Satanist, We're In Love, Anti-Curse, Letter To An Old Poet, Me And My Dog, Read My Mind (The Killers cover) - Boygenius

Well hello to all the loyal congregants of gay church, your prayers have been answered. This week, we've completed the boygenius-munaverse-gayotic trifecta: the one, the only Julien Baker (!!!) joins the band to talk underage tattoos, playing Halo with your high school boyfriend, commiserating over late-stage capitalism, writing $400,00 checks, etc etc etc. We're going to stop writing this description now so you can just go listen. Enjoy ;)

Hey look who's here! It's noted good dude and bassist to the stars (the stars being MUNA): Geo Botelho! The band interrogates his supposed heterosexuality, Geo shares his weightlifting and Craigslisting secrets, and everyone shares their earnest feelings of friendship for one other. Aww. They might have switched gyms from "blank" to "blank" but they're the same "blanks" you've always known.

Everybody climb back aboard the bus: we've got one more episode from tour for your aural pleasure. This time, the band is joined by the man/the myth/the living legend: production manager Ivan Barry, for a peek behind the curtain at how the MUNA machine is made. Plus, hear all about Ivan's trajectory from guy in the back of the crowd at a MUNA show to guy making the MUNA show. Gotta love that.

Non-Metal september is here, and we're kicking it off with an album we weren't able to squeeze into our last non-metal month in march, The Record by Indie supergroup Boygenius!

Ooooh you're gonna wanna be seated for this one. Singer/songwriter/sweetie Leland sits down with Jo, Katie, and Naomi to talk first songs, first love, and first jobs. Find out the story behind all your favorite songs that aren't MUNA songs (and also that one that is).

TikTok benders, ADHD testing, the Glendale f*cking Galleria - this episode really does have it all. Join Katie, Jo, and Naomi as they sit down for an intimate, guestless hang in the studio to tell you about their one singular psychiatrist and how to see God everywhere, even on TV. (That last part is really good advice, actually.)

Welcome, welcome, welcome, one and all, young and old, to The Best Show On Earth (aka MUNA live).

Wow wow wow. This week, the band delights in having the best heart-to-heart convo with poet, essayist, and cultural critic Hanif Abdurraqib (They Can't Kill Us Until They Kill Us, Go Ahead In The Rain: Notes to A Tribe Called Quest, Object of Sound). Together, they commiserate over the struggle of convincing everyone that you really are a silly little goose, the practice of making playlists, and seeking reasons that life is good (and so fun). Also discussed is the nuanced relationship between grief and love, lyrical analysis, beauty standards in the patriarchy, and growing up in a Midwestern punk scene. A one-of-one convo with a one-of-one person. Okay, that's enough exposition. Press play!

The "padcast" is back, baby! This week is an extra special trio episode dedicated to everyone who once believed their kindergarten teacher was a celebrity. Katie, Naomi, and Josette are in the studio not only to record their famous padcast, but also to take some quality time to get to know each other even better. Previously unasked questions are finally answered: If MUNA woke up with the power to complete an everyday task with magic, what would they choose? If every member gave themselves a new name, what would it be? Is it possible to maintain a journaling routine while also having a special sleepover? Should they go to Italy? The answers... WILL surprise you.

The title pretty much says it all?? The band is joined by the legend that is Lucy Dacus (pronounced, Daytime Kiss-kiss if you were wondering) to talk about journaling, lying to your journal to make yourself feel better, transcribing your journal as a way to check in with your past self, throwing away your journal as a way of not ever dealing with your past self, and other stuff that comes up when you're disciplined about getting your pages in every day. This one's for all the iLesbians out there.

Resident music nerd Ben looks back at the good and bad of Laneway '23, gets overwhelmed by endless festival announcements, proclaims Lana Del Rey a marketing genius, wonders what cats ever did to Pheobe Bridgers, and sings the praises of Turnstile, White Reaper, Billy Nomates, Fucked Up and Young Fathers.
