Brian from Brian’s Year in Music talks about Brian’s year in music, focusing on 10 songs that happened around each year. This started in 2020 as an experiment with Spotify’s music podcasts feature. The project was described as having “very strong john wilson vibes, but in a good way.” It continued in 2021, 2022, and 2023, improving each year.

The Knowledge is Power Hour is a comedy podcast with Brian Reitz and Kristian Mundahl. It started in 2012 as a morning radio show at the University of Missouri’s student-run station KCOU and evolved into a podcast in December 2014. The 50th episode was broadcast live from the George W. Bush Library in August 2016, and the 69th episode, published in June 2018, was the only one to ever feature a true power hour. It got messy but was nice. 95 episodes in, the show has been on hiatus since May 2021.
