In a somber yet celebratory podcast we honor the life of my father, Eric Berman, who we lost last week. Last year, I produced an interview and testimonial retrospective on my father for the Wyoming Public Radio, KUWR, for their archive purposes. Eric was part of the the radio station's inaugural year in 1966 and speaks to the launch and growth of the station, the technology of the time, and his enjoyable--and often silly--experiences on air. My family will cherish these recordings and its an honor to share them with you. In grieving, these recordings help assuage the hurt and hearing my Dad's voice brings tears of joy. I will continue to see my Dad every time I look in the mirror, you all will see him every time I do something nice. Eric Berman 1944-2022.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/thebermanhour.

Mike Biancaniello was born into music production and songwriting and recently had a number one hit with christian-artist, Switch. So naturally it made sense for Mike to produce a record for a Satan-worshipping heathen like Divided Heaven. In this convo, Mike and Jeff talk Valley Village vs. Studio City, the inner workings of publishing deals with major labels, songwriting vs. producing, middle-of-the-night-Voice-Memos, and much more. Mike produced the song "About You" on the new Divided Heaven record, Oblivion.

Bradley Riot is a force: punk rock, motorcycles, fashion, art, tattoos, record production and love. Always reinventing, always driven and always real. Bradley is in the midst of recording a new album but opens up about the challenges of running a lifestyle brand, Riot Cycles, and bears his heart about his addiction and sobriety... and when we embarrassed ourselves in front of Christina Applegate.Follow @BradleyRiotFollow @RiotCyclesOrder the new Divided Heaven album, OblivionFollow @DividedHeavenListen to DividedHeavenThe Berman Hour podcast Into Oblivion Series is presented by PunkNews.org.#BradleyRiot #JeffBerman #singersongwriter #acoustic #punkrock #motorcycles #caferacers #riotcycles #losangeles #dividedheaven #podcast #interview #bermanhour #newmusic #friends #afrecords #gunnerrecordsSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/thebermanhour.

Peter Marullo is the best of us. Anyone who knows him can attest. Peter is an artist manager, the singer of Protagonist and a filmmaker. On this pod, Pete and Jeff talk Phantasm (Pete's favorite movie) as inspiration, Pete's newest venture in the Tombstone Touristique, the perfect album length, band management and the art of setting goals and expectations, and always trying to think of new ways to release records.

Jen Razavi is the lead singer of The Bombpops; the Los Angeles-based, FAT Wreck Chords band that worked their asses off the past few years to release their sophomore effort Death in Venice Beach only to have that momentum halted by the pandemic. But The Bombpops rebounded and then some. Fresh off tour with Bayside and about to embark on a tour with Dropkick Murphys, the 'pops are killing it. Jen talks about touring during covid, the stresses and rewards of doing her Patreon, living and touring in Italy with the Venetian-punk band Rumatera, sliding into The Bombpops' DM's and much more. Jen also sang on the track "Reckoning" on the new Divided Heaven record, Oblivion. Enjoy!Follow @Jen_popFollow @thebombpopsSign up for Jen's PatreonListen to "Reckoning feat.

Frank F'n Turner on the pod! In what could only be hailed as the most significant conversation to ever occur between an Englishman and an American, Jeff took this opportunity to ask Frank the important questions about... Tori Amos?!? Aaaaand, New Jersey-hardcore legends VISION, and (most importantly) why the hell Frank agreed to work on a Divided Heaven record. In all seriousness, this conversation does get quite candid about the complexities of touring during covid, the advantages (?) of recording remotely and the deeply personal issues that Frank writes about on his new album FTHC. Please enjoy this unique interview that captures Frank and Jeff in a real honest discussion; with a ton of mutual respect, a slice of humor, in uncharted topics and with a much-belated apology to Lou Koller from Sick Of It All.

Visual artist Doug Dean does the best Album Artwork. For real! Doug did all the artwork for Oblivion (and also Cold War which won Gold at the Pittsburgh Addy award for Integrated Branding) as well as album artwork for Good Charlotte, Anti-Flag, Sleeping with Sirens, Homeless Gospel Choir and more. Doug and Jeff talk approach, how much literal is too literal, developing working relationship with artists and the significance to having a deeper level to how your band is portrayed.
