The Smiley Smile Message Board

Amazing podcast! I'm not sure if Mike Godette has posted these podcasts here (I haven't seen them but I could've missed it) but I just thought I'd share for anyone interested. I randomly found them while perusing the The Beach Boys reddit page, and I'm so glad I stumbled upon it.

The format is four young fans of The Beach Boys talking about the music - their genuine love for the music brings me back to why I love this band so much. Plus, there is some music theory mixed in in places (much of this goes over my head, but I love hearing about it nonetheless). Not sure if any of the participants (besides Mike) posts here or on other forums, but keep up the great work!

This is the first episode. I haven't listened to the rest of them yet but I am betting they are just as good:

I'm thrilled and honored to be apart of this podcast!

When the name “Nate” was mentioned I wondered if it was you. Fantastic insights, looking forward to hearing more of these!

Man, that brings me so much joy to know you're getting a kick out of them! More episodes are on the way  8) 8)

We'd love any suggestions!

I hope more and more people tune in...your view counts are already impressive given how recently you all started the podcast.

As for suggestions, I would love an episode (or part of an episode) where you all discuss SMiLE in all aspects: BWPS, all the bootlegs you may have heard, The Smile Sessions, Good Vibrations, what your favorite songs off the album are, or what your favorite version is (be it one of the bootlegs or Brian's solo version), your first impressions from when you first heard the Smile material (this question especially intrigues me, because I was stunned when I first heard Smile material considering I still mostly thought of them as a surf band at that point; I like hearing how other people interpreted the music when they first heard it).

Also if you want to start posting them here when you make them it would probably get you all some addition views - and it would be great to discuss the contents of the episodes too.

Wow thanks so much for the kind words! It makes me so happy knowing that there are people that are enjoying it, we've been loving making it. And thank you for the episode suggestions we will add it to the list for future episodes! Good idea on posting it here too I didn't even think of that for some reason

Thanks for organizing these Mike, I've really enjoyed these podcasts, great to hear different viewpoints from all participants. Very much looking forward to future installments!

Nate, I especially enjoy the wealth of knowledge and perspectives you share in your endearing laid-back manner  8)
