Description

Gurdip is joined by TCBCast regular 3rd host, and Top Rope Nation podcast host, Ryan Droste, for a look at Elvis' appreciation of and connections with the pro wrestling world, both when he was alive and living in Memphis, and his posthumous influence on later wrestlers like Honky Tonk Man and The Rock. It's a surprisingly fascinating topic with neat historical tidbits some Elvis fans might not be aware of! Then for Song of the Week, Ryan thinks it's great to be in that 50th state as he picks the title track from "Paradise, Hawaiian Style." Gurdip follows up with the bluesy early 60s cut "I Feel So Bad." Featured Songs of the Week: Gurdip: I Feel So Bad Ryan: Paradise Hawaiian Style

"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.
