The first episode of
the podcast aired May 16, 2011 and since then, DANKO has covered an
impressive range of topics and featured a number of prestigious guests. His
friend, the comedian, writer, and punk/rock singer Nick Flanagan, started as
his co-host in the podcast's early days and has returned for almost every
episode since.
During
the last four years, the podcast has evolved into a low-key, often
fascinating and funny conversation between DANKO and Nick concerning just about
anything and everything, from rock music, Chipotle, and metal, to Lady Gaga,
and children’s books - and often accompanied by a guest. Some of the podcast's
visitors have included Phil Campbell (Motörhead), Henry Rollins, Dizzy Reed
& Richard Fortus (Guns N’ Roses), Jim Breuer, Brendan Canning (Broken
Social Scene), Ron Sexsmith, Leslie Feist, Damien Abraham (Fucked Up), and
Scott Thompson (Kids in the Hall), amongst many more.
In the 100th episode
DANKO revisits some of the high-points from the previous 99 episodes and also
talks about why he first started the podcast and why he continues to do it.
He said: “Whether
people know it or not, I’m not the most outgoing gregarious fellow. I like to
save it all, and spurt it out on stage. After that, I keep to myself.
“So, I’ve used the
podcast to deliberately put myself in social situations. Of course the lure is,
I get to be personal and social with people I admire, and they always yield
some pretty great stories.”
