Weekly Drop

Before I switched jobs I used to move through the day by listening to a podcast called The Weekly Drop. Originally Weekly Drop was hosted by the duo of Jeff Carvalho and Rob Heppler and focused on all things sneaker related. Rob and Jeff "offered" their opinions on the latest sneaker drops and most iconic sneakers of the past two decades, as well as today. All this was done in an "off the cuff" format that allowed them to have complete creative expression and pull no punches.

As the show further developed, the duo was joined by a third host, (Frank the Butcher) and broadened its subject matter to include the "street wear" industry, skate board culture, Hip-Hop culture, fixed gear bike enthusiasts, and boutique shopping. The show begin to feature prominent designers and musical artists as guests such as Lupe Fiasco, Bobby Hundreds, Keith Hufnagal, Bun B and Crooks and Castles.

The show was getting better with each episode and then it got picked up by Sirius Satellite radio. Since then, Rob Heppler has gotten a nice cushy job at Wieden and Kennedy, Frank The Butcher has been occasionaly moonlighting as a staff writer for Vapors Magazine and Jeff Carvalho is blogging it up on the HighSnobiety website.

If anyone out there knows whats good with Weekly Drop podcasts, hit me up.
