My band Hard To Port played a pod-cast like performance last night, where a local musician hosts different bands each week in his home "studio", and he streams it on YouTube for an hour or so. It then gets uploaded for posterity, like most podcasts/livestreams.
He brings in a variety of acts to play three or so songs each, usually two guest bands on any particular night, and he intersperses with his own "band". He has a style that tends to dominate the covers he plays, as you might see below.
We are practicing our "small footprint" configuration, so the Parlor was an obvious option - just received it last week! And thus the Uke Bass for my wife, instead of her usual Kingfisher or Kestrel.
We are also reduced to three for this performance due to work conflicts, so we were down a guitar player.
My band starts our three song spot at about 16:30 in. Earlier if you want to hear some banter.
We also joined in with the "traditional" close of "Will the The Circle Be Unbroken", where I take a lead break on the P20E (which sounds better on the video than it did live).
I will note we do not use backing tracks. Ahem. You may note others seem to have more instruments heard than players on-screen. Ahem.
You can find our previous performances at the main website under performances:

We played on previous Episodes 48 and 9. I played my SC HB II for Ep 48, and SE Angelus acoustic for Ep 9. My wife played her Kingfisher bass in Ep 48. She was out of pocket for Ep 9. Another lead break for "Circle" again by me for both - but you can't hear the banjo in Ep 9 (which might be good!)
You can see my hair getting longer from Ep 9 to 48 to 69. #9 was right when the pandemic/lockdowns hit, and I haven't had it cut since...
Be warned...the metal band we shared the stage with in Ep 48 is, um, intense.
We were the only guest band for Ep 9. Terrible audio-video sync, sorry, I'm just in the band!
