This week, I’m joined by Todd Park Mohr of Big Head Todd & The Monsters to curate the ultimate playlist—20 essential songs spanning the band’s biggest hits, fan favorites, deep album cuts, and a few personal selections from Todd himself.

We trace the band’s evolution across more than three decades, pulling tracks from throughout their catalog—including highlights from their latest release, Her Way Out—and discussing the songwriting, influences, and moments that helped define their enduring sound. Along the way, we also take a closer look at some of the band’s most memorable and unexpected cover songs, exploring what drew them to those performances and how they made them their own.

Whether you’ve followed Big Head Todd & The Monsters since the early days or are discovering their music for the first time, this episode offers a thoughtful, career-spanning look at one of modern rock’s most consistent and quietly influential bands.
