Show overview
State of Amorica: A Black Crowes Podcast has been publishing since 2019, and across the 7 years since has built a catalogue of 204 episodes. That works out to roughly 230 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence.
Episodes typically run an hour to ninety minutes — most land between 52 min and 1h 21m — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next. The publisher flags most episodes as explicit, so expect adult themes or strong language throughout. It is catalogued as a EN-language Music show.
The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed 2 weeks ago, with 18 episodes already out so far this year.
From the publisher
State of Amorica is a podcast hosted by dedicated Black Crowes fans Ian Rice, Shawn Hillman and Jason Doncis, guys who have a wealth of years and miles with the band. Why the Black Crowes you say? Because they are one of the greatest rock bands of all time. We hope you will become apart of the State of Amorica and share us with other like minded music fans.
