Give It A Chance with Kevin Devine and Casey Jost
With open-minds, Kevin and Casey start the podcast listening to one famously despised pop song - obviously, since we can’t play the track for legal reasons, this is a quick homework assignment for our listeners to stream on their own. Kevin and Casey will give their first impressions of hearing the song as well as some insight into what the time was like when it was originally released. Next, sinc…Social links:

"Larger Than Life"
Long before BTS there was BSB and in this episode, K&C take on a song that should really RIP. Is this boy band smash actually larger than life or is it better off dead?
34:12
"Hella Good"
Hella hath no fury like a Stefani scorned. Kevin and Casey aren’t walking in the spiderwebs, instead they dive into this 2002 dancehall inspired No Doubt hit. But alas, there IS doubt! Will the boys find this song hella astonishing, hella acceptable, or… hella atrocious.
32:59
"Shape of You"
Kevin and Casey push and pull like a magnet do over this massive radio smash. Kevin comes for Ed Sheeran in what some are saying is the first case of “ginger on ginger crime”. Will the boys hate The Shape Of You or is their love handmade for somebody like ED?!?!
34:15
"My Wish"
This time: it's personal! Casey has a bone to pick with Rascal Flatts for seducing* his mom (*seducing her into picking their song for the mother-son dance at Casey’s wedding). Will Casey and Kevin say "I Do" to this wedding bait song, or will they divorce it?
38:12
"Hey Leonardo (She Likes Me for Me)"
The band “Blessid Union of Souls” is a one hit wonder?!! Who would have guessed?Can Casey and Kevin give this chock-full-of-90s-references anthem a chancey - or do they just want to hang with that guy from Fargo? (I think his name is Steve)
35:22
"Drops of Jupiter"
Train (the band, not the mode of transpo nor the verb “to teach”) is a Grammy award winning pop rock act that you might have heard in Kevin’s mom’s car. The boys put a few Drops Of Jupiter into their metaphorical test tube and find out if it’s solid, liquid, or trash.
33:04
"How You Remind Me"
Love em or hate em Nickelback is an illustrious music act with a notorious catalog of hits. In the premier episode of Give It A Chance, Casey and Kevin throw Lil Chad’s band’s signature song “How You Remind Me” under the microscope to find out once and for all: Are we having fun yet?
