Description

We open this week's episode paying homage to the legendary Little Richard, who brought an electricity and vibrancy to rock and roll that no one, not even Elvis, could quite capture. Rest in peace, Richard. Justin's getting married this week so it's an otherwise lighter episode this week as the discussion turns to how their Elvis fandom has affected their families, who are stuck with them (and Elvis, by default). Following that theme for Song of the Week, Justin and Gurdip's wives provide their favorite songs (we couldn't convince either to come on the show) so Justin dives into the lengthy history behind the ever-catchy "Wooden Heart" from 1960, while Gurdip gets the massive 1957 hit "(Let Me Be Your) Teddy Bear" but not for the reasons you might think! Ryan Droste will be appearing on next week's show for a discussion about Elvis connections in wrestling! Featured Songs of the Week: Justin: Wooden Heart Gurdip: (Let Me Be Your) Teddy Bear

"Elvis is history," Carl Perkins once said, "and anytime anyone or anything becomes history, whether it be Pearl Harbor or Elvis, it will never go away. The world will never tire of his songs." TCBCast is an unofficial fan podcast featuring co-hosts Gurdip Ladhar and Justin Gausman, along with regular guest co-hosts Ryan Droste and Bec Wyles, plus an array of Elvis fans and experts setting out to better understand that history, and those songs. Tackling topics from throughout Elvis's lifetime and beyond, TCBCast seeks to offer thoughtful, intelligent, heartfelt and honest discourse on Presley's career, his influences, the people who made his work possible, and the cultural phenomenon surrounding his iconography. TCBCast is not associated with or endorsed by Graceland, Elvis Presley Enterprises, Authentic Brands Group or Sony.
