Description

New to Elvis? Start here. For TCBCast's 200th (and 201st) episode, Gurdip Ladhar, Justin Gausman and Bec Wyles, three longtime Elvis fans, are presenting their hand-picked starter kits for newer Elvis fans who might just be coming into the fandom: albums, movies, biographies, even things as fundamental as important names that you will find popping up in and around the Elvis story. There's no wrong place to start with exploring Elvis's career, but we try to present so much of what we have loved and what we wish we would have known or been given when we became fans.  Part 1 includes albums from within Elvis's lifetime, our ideal compilations of Elvis's greatest highlights, books about his life and career, and just a handful of important names to know.  Part 2 (TCBCast 201) next week will cover non-fiction documentaries, fictionalized biopics, and of course, movies starring Elvis! Plus our weekly Song of the Week segment where we feature the true histories behind the songs.  If you enjoy TCBCast, please consider supporting us with a donation at Patreon.com/TCBCast.

"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.
