Ron Pope Talks Protest Songs | The Marinade and Records Revisited Crossover

This is a crossover episode with my friends Ben Montgomery and Wayne Fugate from Records Revisited! Records Revisited is a show that celebrates the magic of music. Each episode they have a distinguished guest - I emphasize distinguished as I have appeared seven (?) times - as of this writing. The group decides on an album to listen to and discuss and then rank the songs on the record from their favorite to least favorite. Then, they turn the mics on and go track by track to defend their rankings. I love those guys and their show so I jumped at the chance to record this episode with them.  The idea came from Ben's brain. Ron Pope is a songwriter from New York who now makes his home in Nashville. He has been a guest on both The Marinade and Records Revisited. We are all huge fans of his music and it was an honor to have this conversation. In June of 2025, Ron released a song called "Things Jesus Didn't Say," which inspired Ben to ask: What are our favorite protest songs? Each of us brought five songs to Ron's show at Tuffy's Music Box in Sanford, FL, earlier this year, sat down in the green room, turned on the mics, and made some magic.
