After a little summer hiatus we are back with three of the seven member band Bark Hardly. Eclectic indie folk music might be a good description.
Present: Henry on acoustic and vocals, Maddie vocals (and trombone at the shows?!) Joe plays bass, but just came to talk.
Absent band members: Nico drummer, Dalton piano, Cornelius lead git and Brandon on saxophone.
We hear an acoustic performance and recorded tracks, including a touching tribute to Bruce Lindsay, Henry’s dad and dear friend of Nick and Rory.
That’s right folks, Thee Reverend Rory Dowd came in this week to recap his weekend with the family at the Mosswood Meltdown music festival in Oakland with a bunch of rock and roll hosted by WLP’s spirit animal, the pope of trash, John Waters!
We’re all over the place as usual. Shakespeare on the lake, clown hotels in the desert and songs about life and the world are just some of the topics we touch on this week.
For our usual fun and games we play the worst little quiz and Good Song Bad Song. Lots of laughs and insight for sure.
A great time was had by all!
Life is short and we love you.
Thanks for listening.
We are back worst little listeners, and we kick off our 16th year of podcasting with the superb punk rock sounds of one of our absolute favorite bands, the mighty Donkey Jaw!
Zack sings lead and shreds the guitar as does Sean who also sings secondary vocals. Jared and Kodeus on bass and drums are tight and fast, holding down their smoking grooves.
We had Zack and Kodeus on way back in season one or two when they were The Let Downs and still in high school, so we’ve been watching them grow and conquer the Northern Nevada music scene for a decade and a half.
Chewie, Patrick, Nick and Rick are the hosts for our grand premiere, sharing holiday stories and rocking the fuck out to some of the best dudes out there doing the thing. You can find them on Facebook and Instagram, @donkeyjawreno and everywhere on the streams. We love you Donkey Jaw, and we love you dear listeners! It’s great to be back! Viva WLP!
This week we rock out with Failed Fates a kickass band blending hardcore punk and doom metal. Madi plays rhythm guitar, Tom with guitar and screams, Eric on drums and newest member Michael on bass.
Reporting on the mucky muck of life. Reflections of a dark twisted society. Both punk and metal but not necessarily thrash. It’s unique and we really dig it here at the podcast.
We learn origins of Failed Fates and listen to several tracks from their self-titled debut album.
They are playing out a lot in the Reno metal and punk scene and are on all the platforms and streams services. We discuss local events like the recent concert at UNR for Hot August Nights, ballon races and their landing in Dick’s front yard, and that thing in the desert getting rained out.
Join us for some hard and heavy music from authentic funny dudes. Another great episode.
OMG you guys. Holy guacamole batman… it’s the return of the band formerly known as The Shames!! That’s right folks Scaught (also bass player for Elephant Rifle) on drums, Penny on guitar and vocals and Mikie on bass and vocals live at the Dogwater studios! With their new music and new band NOSEBONE !
We hear several brand spanking new songs and one blast from the past.
The band gives us the skinny on what lead to the new direction and the podcasts history with the ladies from The Shames a beloved Reno punk band.
It was great to catch up with a full house of hosts (including Thee Reverend Rory Dowd!) and guests. Ricks sister Gina is a big WLP fan and was with us live in studio to experience an episode being created. She picked a great week to do so. The Shames were the first music played on the podcast way back on episode two, so this our 603rd really felt full circle.
We skip the quiz in favor of music and get some upcoming shows in Reno and where you can catch NOSEBONE playing their first show in October. They are newly on Instagram @nosebonereno .
We had a blast and are completely stoked for this power trio of rockers and the future of the mighty NOSEBONE.
It’s our 600th episode!
To celebrate we had a party with our friends, Manchild Greg Gilmore, Spike McGuire, Roxxy Collie, the Grimtones, Larry Cooper, Glitter Bats, CandyApple&theRazorblades, Michael Tegio and good old uncle Nick!
Ten different live acts in one episode. What could possibly go wrong?
This was an amazing show and we want to thank everyone who played, everyone on the sound team, lord Stryse, thee reverend Rory, our hosts and guest hosts, interns past and present , and you dear listeners, thanks for listening. My apologies for not getting more pictures of everyone.
Fifteen seasons and 600 episodes! We love what we’ve accomplished and look forward to bringing you more Worst Little Podcasts for as long as the fates allow.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year and our last episode of the season.
Join us for music, merriment and our final conversation of the year.
Rory’s youngest Billy was in studio but didn’t really have much to say while the adults carried on for an hour.
He seemed amused.
We welcome our intern Starfish to associate producer status and shall now be known by his real name Patrick. We get to know Patrick a little better by giving him the last quiz of 2024.
Music courtesy of our very own Nick Ramirez, a new one by Randall Wolfe, and the awfully jolly LNOY, all Christmas tunes. This year’s show is not our usual PG vibe, it’s definitely R. You’ve been warned.
Have a great holiday season and we’ll be back mid January to kick off season 15! Thank you all for a fantastic season of the Worst Little Podcast in the World. Life is short, hug your friends. Happy New Year. Peace and love to you and yours. Goodnight 2024
SEE YOU IN 2025 for SEASON 15!
This week we reminisce with the original cast and Starfish the intern for a cozy episode with friends and music from Chewie’s archive. He put together a show with bands on a 30-year-old flier for a barn burner in Susanville featuring 5 bands from Reno: Loadstar(exclusive for our Patreon members, patreon.com/worstlittlepodcast) who actually broke up right before the show and didn’t play, Dirty Steve, Orange Peel, Sprout and Werm. 90’s Reno punk and alternative rock groups.
We take turns being ungrateful for something and slipping in some thankfulness as well.
We’re getting close to the finish line for this season and we are all thankful for you our listeners and supporters.
Our friendship is what keeps the podcast going and we are all grateful for that.
We hope you enjoy the show and have a wonderful thanksgiving weekend.
To the music makers of Reno and beyond. Thank you.
Life is short and we love you. Happy Thanksgiving!
Season 14 episode 37! In a row?! Yup, that’s right, we’re back with late nineties Reno Britpop band; acrylic! Bill Conran and Robb Russo (Luke McMullan, Neil Edwards, Chris Davis, Steve Larkins, Gabe Larkins: not present) join us for literal coffee talk, the Cure’s new album and remembering the 90’s in Reno. Bowie, Love and Rockets, Stone Roses, the Smiths, these are the influences of the mighty acrylic. We get four songs from the band who should win Reno’s most unique local band of 1998. They played with the Killers before they blew up. Great double bill. Legendary.
We had a blast from the past catching up with dear friends Will and Robb from the wayback. AND! Reverend Rory made it in to host this very special episode, recapping his two days at the Reno Punk Rock Flea Market’s: Fleas the Season event as master of ceremonies Krampy Santa or something like that. Props to everyone at RPRFM and our favorite gal pal Kadillac Kim for another fantastic 2-day flea featuring mad talent from the area and beyond. Way to kick off the holidays Reno!
So hop in the time machine with us and hear of days of yore before the internet was a thing. Blue Lamp, Area 51, Planet 9, the Zephyr (not the Z bar, your dad’s Zephyr) Classic Reno. Enjoy. Thanks for listening. Hug your friends.
Howdy Reno neighbors and neighborenos! We are back with a fresh new band to meet and explore.
It’s 2024 and the young folks are still punk rocking for the betterment of mankind and for the sheer fun, absurdity and love of it all. These antiwar, pro equality anarcho-punx, Death Means Profit are comprised of Lilith vox, Gwen guitar, Silly bass, and Colin drums. They all hail from different regions of northern Nevada and 3/4 are graduating high school this year.
They bring the youthful exuberance and primal kick in the pants the music scene always needs. It’s got a skate punk vibe with the spirit of both English punk, like Subhumans and SoCal hardcore like the Germs. It’s a chaotic underground sound, short songs with a ton of progressive angst. Total freedom to do whatever they want, all making for a wild spontaneous and unpredictable live performance.
Their next appearance will be at the Reno Punk Rock Flea Markets next event. Punk Rock Prom? More on that later from our very own Kadillac Kim, who met Death Means Profit at Neutral Ground at the Holland Project and we just want to thank her for booking the band this week. Kim rules!
Thank you worst little listeners.
Off tha’ hook!

This week, we’d like to introduce to you the unleashed power of Undenied, a metal band here in Reno. Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond our control and up to the whim of the Norse gods of old, this has turned out to be Undenied’s final performance! EXCLUSIVELY from the Worst Little Podcast in the World at Dogwater Studios. Almost three full seasons in and we STILL bring you exclusive crap every week!
The Bird is The Word
But that’s what we do here at the Worst Little Podcast – we document Reno’s music and bands before they have a chance to break up and fade into ignominy! It happens, and we wish Casey, Fester, Cameron, Dee and Ace nothing but the best in their future endeavors and facemelting!!! These guys are pretty talented, so it won’t surprise me to see them forming other bands or getting snapped up by existing ones. When it comes to bands that entertain us, Undenied is in the winners circles. Lots of fucked up lauchs on the show, including a water sports story. Yes. That’s exactly what I mean. We even have video proof of this wacky tale of hi-jinks gone absolutely right! Just look below:
Wasn’t that fun??? *shudder* Thanks, Undenied! Don’t let the door hit your ass on the way out!
Hooligans. The lot of em.
Thanks for Listening!
