The world will never tire of his songs.\" TCBCast is an unofficial fan podcast featuring co-hosts Gurdip Ladhar and Justin Gausman, along with regular guest co-hosts Ryan Droste and Bec Wyles, plus an array of Elvis fans and experts setting out to better understand that history, and those songs. Tackling topics from throughout Elvis's lifetime and beyond, TCBCast seeks to offer thoughtful, intelligent, heartfelt and honest discourse on Presley's career, his influences, the people who made his work possible, and the cultural phenomenon surrounding his iconography.

What they're surprised to find is not only a popular culture swept up in both disco and 1950s nostalgia, but a snapshot of a time when connections to Elvis seep into most of the rest of the genre of country music, with songs like \"Suspicious Minds\" and and artists who ALSO once recorded at Sun Records like Johnny Cash, Conway Twitty and Narvel Felts or have other Elvis connections (Elvis movie demo singer Glen Campbell shows up too!) bringing their own stylistic throwbacks to the Top 10. For Song of the Week, Justin solves a mini-mystery surrounding what 1962 movie scene specifically inspired Hank Cochran to write the country classic \"Make the World Go Away,\" which featured prominently on \"Elvis Country\" and Elvis was filmed performing during the making of \"That's The Way It Is\" in 1970. Then finally, Bec touches briefly on Elvis' studio and live versions of Kris Kristofferson's \"For The Good Times.\" If you enjoy TCBCast, please consider supporting us with a donation at Patreon.com/TCBCast.
