The Full Circle: Linking Songs with Musicians & Friends

When Red Hot Chili Peppers album By The Way came out in 2002, it was absolutely adored in the UK! It was their first album (not counting Greatest Hits) of theirs I heard and will always have a special place in my heart for that reason.I reveal which song is, in my humble opinion, their best of all time (and how did it not make their Greatest Hits album which was released a year later?!), and how it ranks compared to their other albums.I also create my By The Way Full Circle which are my five favourite songs on the album. Link to playlist here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2MJzd2iFpaqhdLsn71pf89Let me know your favourite song from By The Way and where it ranks on your  favourite RHCP albums!Follow the Full Circle on social media!https://www.instagram.com/fullcirclepodcastDChttps://www.tiktok.com/@fullcirclepodcastdchttps://www.facebook.com/DCFullCircle/https://www.youtube.com/@FullCircleDC

They also share some great fun facts about themselves, answer some tough Would You Rather questions, reveal how they got to support Don Broco and plays a lyrics quiz called "Toy Parlour or Toys Out The Pram" (naming quizzes are not my strong point), where they have to guess if the lyrics are their own or another band or song has the word toy in it.They also create their Full Circle, ranging from Biffy Clyro to System of a Down! Playlist for the songs: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3AQAZEk01o9kez8YxjP1qNCheck out Toy Parlour's new song Love Me here: https://open.spotify.com/track/0uQEZ6ADEFM98OOsDplzJcFollow Toy Parlour on social media:https://www.instagram.com/toyparlourbandhttps://www.facebook.com/toyparlourband/https://www.tiktok.com/@toyparlourbandIt was a great chat with the Toy Parlour lads, thank you to them for coming on The Full Circle, and thank you for checking it out!Follow the Full Circle on social media!https://www.instagram.com/fullcirclepodcastDChttps://www.tiktok.com/@fullcirclepodcastdchttps://www.facebook.com/DCFullCircle/https://www.youtube.com/@FullCircleDC

Every other week (on average), I will review some of my favourite albums over the years on The Full Circle. And there is no better way to start with Linkin Park's Hybrid Theory.

Captain Davidoff AKA David Desai is the very special guest on The Full Circle, making his podcast debut on the show!He is a top guy and it's probably one of the funniest episodes since the show has returned as a podcast, very similar to the radio show days!Captain's cat's cameo was a big highlight, but without doubt, the biggest highlight is our stupidity to do the bird's-eye chili challenge again! We were dumb and young in our early 20s when we did this in 2015, but now we're just dumb doing it again, with the risk of getting a hole in our stomach far greater. Whilst it is a great listen (well terrible for David and I in all honesty), keep an eye out for the video version which might be even better.And of course, Captain creates his Full Circle, ranging from Taylor Swift (long time Captain fans will know this was inevitable) to Red Hot Chili Peppers!Playlist for the songs: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2NJ4Z3hc0NprEe0MKL1BDFThank you to Captain Davidoff for coming on The Full Circle, and thank you for checking out the show :)Follow the Full Circle on social media!https://www.instagram.com/fullcirclepodcastDChttps://www.tiktok.com/@fullcirclepodcastdchttps://www.facebook.com/DCFullCircle/https://www.youtube.com/@FullCircleDC

We also talk about their upcoming album House of Cards, due to be released on 24th April 2026, and how the songs came about for this album.And, of course, Joel creates his Full Circle, choosing some of his favourite songs, with lyrics resonating with him, ranging from Modern Life Is War to Poison The Well!Playlist for the songs: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7c32sCJcmWJy7LbyVzQ5DXAmity Affliction are currently playing live shows in the USA, and are coming back to the UK and mainland Europe later this year!

This week's episode is a Podcasthon Special!

Legitimately is legitmately not used in its proper sense quite often, but I do believe the word is used legitmately on the title! This week's Full Circle was 5 completely random songs from my "random songs playlist" which include my favourite songs over the years! Here's the playlist for the songs: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0WY9AerHbDT4ta3rdF7bfe?si=q_bJh-8eT5O9tBxD0MMVzAYou may notice that the length is quite short compared to the usual! I explain why that is the case on this week's episode, and the usual service should resume next week! (hopefully)On a Full Circle first, I shared 5 funny "Dad Jokes", taken from the Reddit Page "Dad Jokes". You do not need to be a dad to get the jokes (I'm not), but I'm sure it doesn't help, and I assume you'd be more likely to say these types of jokes. Share some of your favourite "Dad Jokes" in the comments, and I'll reply / read them out on a future episode!Hope you enjoy the slightly shorter than usual Full Circle, and thank you for all the support as always!Follow the Full Circle on social media!https://www.instagram.com/fullcirclepodcastDChttps://www.tiktok.com/@fullcirclepodcastdchttps://www.facebook.com/DCFullCircle/https://www.youtube.com/@FullCircleDC
