Only they didn’t meet until Rob was 16 ... and Dave was a lot older. That’s a lot of life to catch up on. And music – because whatever else they had in common, these long-lost brothers quickly realised they both really bloody loved music. So, many years after that fateful first meeting – and separated by 1,000km – the estranged siblings launched this podcast. It’s super simple: every episode one brother introduces an album they love, that the other doesn’t know at all. They talk about what it means, and what it meant to them. Then at the end, the other brother selects the next episode’s subject … and, repeat. Welcome, then, to a podcast about some music that at least one of us is convinced Your Brother Should Know. And you probably should, too.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-15T10:21:11.630953+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/your-brother-should-know-6727528"},"episode":{"title":"Bon Jovi: These Days at 30 – a classic album, by any other band?","slug":"bon-jovi-these-days-at-30-a-classic-album-by-any-other-band","published_at":"2025-04-11T03:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/your-brother-should-know-6727528/bon-jovi-these-days-at-30-a-classic-album-by-any-other-band","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/your-brother-should-know-6727528","url":"https://Yourbrothershouldknow.podbean.com/e/bon-jovi-these-days-at-30-%e2%80%93-a-classic-album-by-any-other-band/","audio_url":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/43kzurpkhd8b8qrs/YBSKTheseDays.mp3","summary":"Bon Jovi’s These Days was the first album Rob ever fell in love with, and three decades later he’s convinced that this grunge-influenced left turn would be hailed as a masterpiece today had it been made by any other band. Which is why, ahead of These Days’ 30th anniversary, Rob insisted his long-lost brother needed to hear it. Will the prog-loving poodle rock-adverse Dave fall for Bon Jovi’s uncharacteristically angsty, mid-90s masterpiece, or laugh it back to the footnotes of given-up glam metal lore? Also, how much of this album was really down to MIA guitarist Richie Sambora, and what’s the deal with Jon Bon Jovi’s beleaguered voice today?
