Hello and welcome!
This is your first taste of what’s to come… a sneak preview of PodKISSt for you to download and enjoy! As we move ahead throughout the year, we’ll be making steady changes (and hopefully improvements) to the sound, content, and presentation of the PodKISSt… but we can’t do it without YOU! So please, send us an email at our
podkisst@gmail.com address, and visit us online at our www.mykisslife.net/podkisst site!
This sneak preview will give you a chance to meet us (James and Gary), and to get a sense of what we’re hoping to do in future programs. You’ll hear a little about us, find out how this PodKISSt idea got started, and then take a trip back in time to February 17th, 1977, when the 4 members of KISS appeared on 99X in New York City to promote
their first Madison Square Garden show!
A big THANKS to Ken, Tony, and everyone else who worked behind the scenes to make this possible… and thanks to THE KISS ARMY for taking an interest in the project!
We want to stress also that this is a labor of love. The internet is not always an easy place to be a fan; while there’s no shortage of information (and misinformation, too), there’s also plenty of quarreling, complaining, and one-upmanship. By no means do we intend to overlook key issues in the KISS world (past, present, and future), but we do want this to be a positive show overall… a celebration of KISS, their music, their fans, and their impact on popular culture.
Throughout the course of our shows, you may hear unreleased recordings that fans have been kind enough to share with us. We want to stress that PodKISSt does not endorse the sale or distribution of copyrighted material. We also want to encourage you to BUY THE STUFF THAT KISS PUTS OUT!!! Go get “KISSology!” Go get “Live to Win!” Go get “Gene Simmons Family Jewels” on DVD!
And of course, we want to thank Gene, Paul, Peter, Ace, Eric C., Vinnie, Mark, Bruce, Eric S., and Tommy. You are KISS. We are your Army. If you happen to hear the PodKISSt, we hope that it reminds you of how important you are to your fans!
So sit back and enjoy… and tell us what you think. We’re still working out the bugs (the hiss, the volume issues, etc.), but as Paul would say…
…WE ARE JUST GETTING STARTED!!!
Rock and roll,
Gary and James
James and Gary,
Enjoyed the podcast,look forward to a monthly edition.
The labour of love was worth it,great interview although im still reeling from the fact that James admitted to saying KISS sucked back in the day…….
Keep up the Good Work…….

Hey Guys!
You’re off to a great start. Looking forward to the next edition.
I’ve been a Kiss fan since the mid ’70’s, so I’m really interested in anything you have from back in the day.
Looks like we’re gonna have ourselves a Rock and Roll Party!

looking forward to the podcast. couple of suggestions:
1. the reverb on Gary’s mic, too much.
2. the levels don’t sound balanced between Gary and James.
3. the longer a person must wait in between shows, the longer the next show should be to compensate. I would recommend a weekly format.
Other than that, lookng forward to this podcast.

Thanks for your input, dirtydingo.
Please remember that we have just begun this venture and are far from being experts on any of this! As we obtain better gear (at OUR expense, mind you) and become more familiar with the production process, the sound will be better. As far as show releases go, we are producing these shows as often as possible. Of course, we would LOVE to do a weekly broadcast … but we have professional careers and family that come first and will do our best to make podcasts as frequently as possible.
