It's been well over a year since we did an episode from the 'In Defense Of...' series, and it's been almost a couple of months since there's been an episode! Much has happened with us in between those two months (no surprise there), and even more has happened since the recording of this episode (a…
It was difficult to narrow down (of course), but after much thought, jamilah briefly explains why 'Billy' became the choice for her favorite Gurewitz composition, out of a sea of great ones.

In the continuation of the series highlighting our favorite things about the band's respective instruments, we finally have an episode about the drums. In doing this episode, jamilah heard some things that made her choices even more difficult, but fun.

(RECORDED ON AUGUST 30, 2025) Longtime friends Abby and jamilah have been into DEVO for many, many years; however, jamilah has never seen them live. Given that they are still touring, they decided to do a 'Flowers' episode on the Spuds born in Akron, Ohio.
jamilah wanted to do an episode as wel…
We are conditioned to see the concepts of both wisdom and 'not knowing' as diametrically opposed, as they are defined in the narrowest of terms. In a spiritual sense (which may seem paradoxical, given that this is a podcast about Bad Religion), the two concepts fit perfectly.
