A lot of good discussion in this podcast, that we've discussed here many a time, such as "what is dieselpunk music"... "what years does/should dieselpunk draw it's inspiration from"...

I think this might be a very good reference for a future Wikipedia article, so you guys that are still working on that project, bookmark this!

I just finished listening to this (I've been posting as I've been listening), and it gets better as it goes along. They even talk about the Depression and interbellum period, which we've discussed here before; what they call "dust bowl punk." And an interesting comparison between fears of atomic war and post-apocalyptic wastelands, with World War I and the period that came after, which to some must have seemed post-apocalyptic.

Anyway, well done, guys (and girls)!

That was an excellent podcast! Fantastic. With someone with the clout of League of Steam having a such an informative discussion on Dieselpunk will help spread the word of the genre.
