This week guest interviewer Bill Childs, host of Spare the Rock, Spoil the Child, sits down with John Flansburgh and John Linnell from They Might Be Giants to hear about the impact of the Batman theme and a evolving charm of a song from a record inspired by the Pogo cartoon. Along the way they also chat about kid record collections and the power of riffs and lyrics.
