Talking Into Infinity - Episode 117 – 5th Annual Fan Hangout!

It’s our first show of 2026 - a year forty years removed from one of the greatest in heavy metal history, 1986! We’ll be doing some deep dives into some of the incredibly classic records that defined that year and on this episode, we’re starting off with the fan-favorite Iron Maiden album Somewhere In Time! Is it worthy successor to the hugely successful and popular Powerslave – or does it signal the start of a decline in the quality of the band’s output?#johnpetrucci #mikeportnoy #jordanrudess #johnmyung#jameslabrie #dreamtheater #podcast #talkingintoinfinity #ironmaiden #somewhereintime #powerslave #heavymetal #1986

It's THAT time of year again... our fifth annual Fan Hangout show! This one is a freeform musical discussion about anything the fans want to talk about - driven by fans who have graciously agreed to jump out from the chat and into the limelight as they guest host the show with us! The GorillaFarts will be flowing, Brian’s bad jokes will be worse than ever, and the holiday cheer – and music talk! - will be bountiful!#johnpetrucci #mikeportnoy #jordanrudess #johnmyung#jameslabrie #dreamtheater #podcast #talkingintoinfinity

It’s the next entry in our series of “you can’t have DT”, so… it’s 2011 and you walk into the record store to buy A Dramatic Turn Of Events… and the clerk tells you that you CAN’T buy it! You HAVE to choose something else… what records are you grabbing? We give OUR choices for what we’d buy when we can’t have what we really want – the new Dream Theater record!#johnpetrucci #mikeportnoy #jordanrudess #johnmyung#jameslabrie #dreamtheater #podcast #talkingintoinfinity #adramaticturnofevents

We host a DT podcast, so you’d figure that we would know our stuff when it comes to all manner of trivia about the band – but do we? We test our qualifications and put ourselves through a number of online Dream Theater quizzes to how much we REALLY know about our favorite band!#johnpetrucci #mikeportnoy #jordanrudess #johnmyung#jameslabrie #dreamtheater #podcast #talkingintoinfinity

Jon recently caught the Columbus, Ohio stop of DreamTheater’s Parasomnia/A Change Of Seasons tour and he has plenty of stories to tell - including meeting the band!#johnpetrucci #mikeportnoy #jordanrudess #johnmyung#jameslabrie #dreamtheater #podcast #talkingintoinfinity

Just a quick show note to let you know that we're still here and pumping out content - but a certain platform has been pulling down our episodes for some stupid reason, which is why nothing new has shown up on the audio platforms for a few months. We will be fixing this error in the very near future! Until then... here's a short explanation! Carpe Diem!
