from CD Burners
On this episode of CD Burners, we’re unpacking Blurryface by Twenty One Pilots, the breakout album that made them impossible to ignore. Special guest, Zak Dossi of People R Ugly joins us to dig into how this record broke every genre rule in the book, from screamo to ukulele pop, and still managed to top the charts. From the lore of Blurryface himself to the cult-like fanbase it built, we’re diving into what made this era so bizarre, unforgettable, and lowkey brilliant. Hosted on Acast.

Season 2 is the unbelievable but true story of the greatest spy of World War II. The Nazis don't know her name, but they want this woman dead. A mysterious agent is strategically dismantling their violent grasp on France and not only leading her own resistance factions but inspiring others. The Gestapo sends their devious double-agent, the priest Robert Alesh, to hunt down The Limping Lady before she threatens their entire push for Western Europe. But Virginia Hall was tougher and more resilient than they ever expected. Season 1 was a Top 10 hit with millions of listeners, making it one of the Top 20 new podcasts of 2021. Bestselling author and journalist Stephan Talty returns with Season 2 of Good Assassins: the dramatic story of a different kind of spy. Written by CD Carpenter (“American Hostage”) and produced by the award-winning team at Diversion Audio.
