PodKISSt #35: The “Alive!” Legacy (1993 & Beyond)
On this edition of PodKISSt, we continue our retrospective series on the “Alive” albums. We’re joined once again by writer extraordinaire Joe Casey (of Dark Horse’s “KISS” comic fame, and co-creator of “Ben 10″ and “Generator Rex”). Joe and the PodKISSt crew look back at “Alive III,” “Alive IV,” and the “Millennium Concert” disc. Loaded with great live rarities, this is one you won’t wanna miss! You wanted the best… aw, you know the rest! Click and enjoy! (Big thanks to Brian Shaller for his contributions, and much love and sympathy to Ferk on the passing of his grandmother.)

PodKISSt #34: Farewell, Bill (Part 1)
Without Bill Aucoin, there would be no KISS.
It almost goes without saying, and yet it can’t be said enough. As we mourn his passing, we look back at the remarkable life and career of the man who brought KISS out of the Diplomat Hotel and turned them into the Hottest Band in the World. On this 2-part installment of PodKISSt, we are joined by very some special guests including beloved photographer and KISStorian Lydia Criss, KISS Army founder Bill Starkey, and acclaimed KISS producer Kenny Kerner. They were kind enough to share their fond, funny, and frank memories of the one and only Bill Aucoin.
As you listen to these unique interviews, hear commentary from devoted fans, and rock out to KISS rarities, maybe you’ll pause for a moment (as we did), and consider the silence; without Bill Aucoin, our lives simply would not have had the same soundtrack.

PodKISSt #33: The “Alive!” Legacy Part 2 (1977)
In this installment of PodKISSt we continue our in-depth look at KISS’ “Alive” legacy by going back to 1977 and the release of “Alive II.” This mammoth record was emblematic of all that was right… and wrong… within the KISS camp at the height of their rise to superstardom. In the PodKISSt tradition, we bring you live and studio rarities from the Hottest Band in the World… plus a great report from PodKISSt’s UK correspondent Oliver, who tells about some crazy, crazy nights on the 2010 Sonic Boom tour! So hang on for a rocket ride from 1977 to the present, ’cause it’s never enough! Never enough!! Never enough!!!
