20: Father of all Motherfuckers

Co-bros Patrick Miller & Kenn Edwards bring you an episode of epic proportions (read: length) covering the first leg of the Revolution Radio Tour! Join the International Superfans as they listen back to clips they recorded on the days of the Green Day shows in Boston on 10.1.16 and Norfolk on 3.12.17!

19: The Revolution Radio Tour

Kenn & Patrick bring their Alex Jonestown Massacre bandmates Mike Engle and Tom Ripley back to the show to cover Green Day's most recent album Revolution Radio, the much anticipated 2016 release that inspired this very podcast! They discuss the merits of when a band takes fewer risks and if it's fair to let that impact your opinion on the quality of the music, recap their Rock N Roll Hall of Fame induction, and play clips of this episode's four hosts playing songs and covers together!

18: Revolution Radio

International Superfans Kenn Edwards & Patrick Miller are moving on to tackle the Trelogy's titular album, iTre!

17: ¡Tre!

After finally allowing a discussion of Billie Joe Armstrong's 21st Century Breakdown to take place, Kenn & Patrick highlight their favorite songs from the 2nd album of the Trelogy. Then, the entire album is played in real-time while the Dos Lonely Boys guest on this punk-rock thrashover episode with James Munoz' Human Loser podcast. Enjoy! Listen to Human Loser on Soundcloud!

16: ¡Dos!

Patrick and Kenn delay discussing iHeartRadio just long enough to wrap up their discussion on iUno! Plus, a Weezer podcast is started.

15.5: ¡Uno! (¡Punto Cinco!)

This week Kenn and Patrick do everything within their means to distract themselves from really digging in to the first album in Green Day's 2012 ¡Tre!logy, ¡Uno!, so you'll get to hear a bunch of The Clash and The Replacements. Here, they watch the video for the album's lead single "Oh Love," as well as listen to the first three tracks of the release. Tune in next week for ¡Uno Punto Cinco!, when we'll cover the other 8 tracks on the album. PLUS: This week Patrick and Kenn share the first clip from a song recorded with their new band (comprised of other past WTP guests Mike Engle & The Talented Mr. Tom Ripley), Subhumans (US). Get it?

15: ¡Uno! (¡Parte Uno!)

Kenn plays a song from Green Day's 2011 live release, Awesome As Fuck. Patrick watches. You listen.

14: Awesome as F**k

Kenn & Patrick invite Denver Crawford (Johnny) and Rachel Hindman (St. Jimmy) - cast members from the Richmond, VA production of Michael Mayer's Broadway brainchild American Idiot - onto the show to discuss Billie Joe's personal narrative in relation to the Broadway adaptation of Green Day's multiplatinum album, and their own personal experience in the local production of the show and the impact it has on each community that takes the show on.

13: American Idiot (The Broadway Production)

Kenn Edwards, Patrick Miller, and Trish Blaine return to complete the track-by-track discussion on Billie Joe Armstrong's music 8 ball, 21st Century Breakdown.

12.5: 21st Century Breakdown (Part 2)

Kenn and Patrick welcome Trish Blaine to the show to discuss the dystopian vision presented in Green Day's much anticipated follow-up to American Idiot, 21st Century Breakdown. In addition to trying to solve the mystery that is the left-turn of hiring Butch Vig as producer, they talk about how it thematically clashed with the political climate at the time, and the eerie prescience when looked back on in contrast with the state of the world today. In this episode, we discuss tracks 1-4. Stay tuned for Part 2, Class Of WTP!

12: 21st Century Breakdown (Part 1)

The International Superfans Kenn Edwards & Patrick Miller give into The Temptations and listen to some Nuggets from Green Day's garage-rock side-project Foxboro Hot Tubs in a track-by-track discussion of the band's debut/only 2008 album, Stop Drop and Roll!!!

11: Stop Drop and Roll!!! (Foxboro Hot Tubs)

Kenn & Patrick watched the 2005 concert film Bullet in a Bible as an excuse to talk about Green Day's performance on the tour following the explosive success of American Idiot, with particular focus on the first time your hosts experienced the band for themselves live in person in Fairfax, VA, Halloween 2004. Plus, a mom is called! Whose mom? Listen to find out!!

10: Bullet in a Bible

Kenn and Patrick welcome back Mary Jane French and Kate Carroll to discuss Green Day's American Idiot, as well as the myriad of other bands that Rocked Against Bush, defeated fascism, and put John Kerry in the White House.

9.5: American Idiot (Part 2)

Patrick & Kenn welcome Richmond comedians Kate Carroll and Mary Jane French to the show. Welcome to Welcome To Paradise! Or so we'd hoped. The group discusses the sad state of our current political climate and how it mirrored the feeling of hopelessness felt in America in the early 2000s in the wake of 9/11 and George W. Bush's 1st term. This is the era that birthed American Idiot, Green Day's momentous 7th studio album. Just when they start to dive into the track-by-track, the International Superfans run out of time. Stay tuned for Part 2, sweet children.

9: American Idiot (Part 1)

Welcome to Welcome to Paradise, your one destination for all things Green Day, hosted by the International Superfans, comedians Kenn Edwards and Patrick Miller. Every episode, Patrick and Kenn will discuss every album (from studio records to live releases and all the odds, ends, and rarities in-between) song-by-song, dissect the lyrics, and divulge embarrassing information about themselves, all the while tracing the band’s steps from their humble origins as Sweet Children to their current status as the three of the sweetest men in rock and roll history. Bite your lip. Close your eyes. We hope you have the time of your life.
