“Walkie Talkie Man” by Steriogram (f/ Moose)

Author: Geekscape February 4, 2026 Duration: 1:05:20
This week, Chris and Matt are joined by their friend Moose to revisit Steriogram’s 2004 breakout hit, “Walkie Talkie Man.” They dig into the band’s mix of punk and rap that KINDA works (depending on who you ask), as well as their unforgettable Michel Gondry-directed music video. In the end, they seems to be yet another victim of the cruel and unforgiving world of major labels, but should you dig up an old iPod to listen to their trilogy of albums? Tune in to see if they think you should be movin’ and a groovin’ and a hippin’ and a hoppin’ and a pickin’ and a boppin’ to the music of New Zealand’s very own Steriogram.  Also, be sure to check out Moose’s new album Threads at http://www.punkcovermoose.com  One Hit Thunder is brought to you by DistroKid, the ultimate partner for taking your music to the next level.

Ever wonder what happened to those artists who gave us a single unforgettable song before vanishing from the charts? One Hit Thunder digs into that very mystery, hosted by musician Chris Fafalios of Punchline and Matt Kelly from Geekscape. Each episode pairs them with a different guest-bandmates, touring pals, or fellow musicians-to revisit a classic one-hit wonder. They don't just play the hit; they embark on a deep dive through the entire catalog of the artist or band behind it, uncovering hidden gems, bizarre B-sides, and the stories that explain their fleeting moment in the spotlight. The conversation is loose, funny, and informed by a genuine love for music, blending comedy with insightful critique. You'll hear the familiar thunderclap of that one massive track, followed by the surprising, often hilarious exploration of everything else that followed-or didn't. It’s a podcast for anyone who’s ever shouted along to a chorus on the radio and then asked, “But what else did they do?” This Geekscape production finds the rich, strange, and human details in the careers of pop culture’s most fascinating almost-weres.
