Pumping Up The Podcast - A Hannah Montana Podcast

Elise and Michael are back to finish breaking down the remaining songs from the Hannah Montana 2 album, including "Life's What You Make It," "One In A Million," "Bigger Than Us," "You And Me Together," and "True Friend"! Tune in to hear them discuss misheard lyrics, the surprising track that's actually a cover, comparisons between Hannah and Beethoven, and a "perfect high school essay of a song," among other things.

We've reached the end of season two, which means it's time to break down some music! Elise is joined again by her friend and music expert Michael Stahl to start dissecting the album "Hannah Montana 2," and in this first installment they do some analysis of the music and lyrics of "We Got The Party," "Nobody's Perfect," "Make Some Noise," "Rockstar," and "Old Blue Jeans." Don't forget to join them again next week to hear their interpretations of the remaining five songs! Follow us on Twiter @pumpingupthepod and Instagram @pumpingupthepodcast!

Elise is joined by Courtney Seyl to discuss what is actually season 3 episode 24 of Hannah Montana, "Uptight (Oliver's Alright)" but what originally was supposed to be season 2 episode 30, "No Sugar, Sugar." They discuss the controversy surrounding the episode and have a long discussion about its shortcomings, but don't worry, they also address Billy Ray's increased twang, guest star Kat Graham, additional alternate titles, and Elise tells a disturbing story about Mathnasium.

Elise is joined by Alana Fineman to discuss the absolute masterpiece that is season 2 episode 29 of Hannah Montana, "We're All On This Date Together." It's got a wealth of exciting guest stars, fantasy sequences, a very meaty b-plot, a confusing charity auction, new versions of "If We Were A Movie," a lobster tank, and a loooooooot of references to High School Musical. You're going to love it!  Follow us on Twitter @pumpingupthepod and Instagram @pumpingupthepodcast!

Elise is joined by Alex Meleras to break down season 2 episode 28 of Hannah Montana, "Joannie B. Goode." It's got a beginning, middle, and an end, which places it a cut above some other episodes, and it's also got some great burns, an incredibly fake snake, little bits of lore, and an extremely cursed b-plot. Elise and Alex also discuss Billy Ray's failure to understand slang, potential future Joanie stories, various Disney Mania covers, and more.

Elise is joined by her friend Emma Fredgant to break down season 2 episode 27 of Hannah Montana, "The Test Of My Love," and there's SO much for them to talk about, particularly... what's the deal with this Trey kid? Why are his parents bullying a child? How come he kisses BEFORE a first date? Is it appropriate to order sweetbreads for everyone at the table? How much does a park cost? What's the best 90s sitcom? And most importantly, who are you going to be on Halloween? Follow us on Twitter @pumpingupthepod and Instagram @pumpingupthepodcast!

Elise is joined again by Courtney Seyl, this time to dig into season 2 episode 26 of Hannah Montana, "Yet Another Side Of Me." Hannah/Miley meets the queen of pop (who definitely isn't Madonna), yells at her Robby Ray doll, imagines some new alter-egos, and (kind of) starts a riot. Elise and Courtney are fully on board and discuss the logistics of a new sounds, potential singles for not-Madonna, unforced errors within the HMU, and what they had on their original iPods.

Elise is joined by Kayla Littleton to discuss season 2 episode 25 of Hannah Montana, "Hannah In The Streets With Diamonds." Hannah is getting a spot on the 'Hollywood Parade of Diamonds' which leads to her starting a feud with a children's puppet... and Elise isn't into any of it. That's really all there is to it.

Elise is joined by Alana Fineman to talk about season 2 episode 24 of Hannah Montana, the very unique "You Didn't Say It's Your Birthday." Together they discuss Miley and Jackson's lack of self-awareness, the episode's lack of resolution, new Rico lore, an odd CD signing, and Miley's disregard for secret-keeping. Elise also takes some time to yell at Jackson and call out the writers. Follow us on Twitter @pumpingupthepod and Instagram @pumpingupthepodcast!

Elise is joined by her friend Michael Stahl to talk about time travel and season 2 episode 23 of Hannah Montana, "The Way We Almost Weren't." It's a very gimmick-heavy episode, as Miley casually gets struck by lightning, leading her to once again connect with her mother from beyond the grave. Meanwhile, Elise and Michael reminisce about the Wii Fit pad, pull out a map, continue to be angry about Billy Ray Cyrus's existence in the HMU, and engage in some light conjecture about butts and holes.  Follow us on Twitter @pumpingupthepod and Instagram @pumpingupthepodcast!
