Two Nights in Tulsa, Nine Shows Into the Tour, and One Unforgettable Weekend! What happens when Deb, Pete, and Jess finally get together in the same room after TWO incredible nights of Garth Brooks' concerts? You get a late-night episode of Garthology filled with laughter, excitement, a few emotional moments, and three seriously exhausted fans! Fresh off Garth's Friday and Saturday shows in Tulsa, Oklahoma, we're sharing everything from our whirlwind weekend—including a trip to Stillwater and Willie's Saloon, a very special moment with Garth during "The Old Stuff," and an unexpected situation that had Jess jumping into action as a nurse right in the middle of the concert! We're also talking about Garth's emotional a cappella performance of "The Change," some fantastic song choices, and why—even after Deb seeing nine shows on this tour—Garth still manages to make every concert feel like the very first one. It's funny, heartfelt, a little chaotic, and recorded WAY past our bedtime. Just the way a Garthology concert recap should be! And did we mention we're exhausted? By the end of the episode, Pete is barely staying awake, we're all trying to remember how to wrap up a podcast, and nobody wants to admit that our Oklahoma adventure is almost over! Come along for the ride. We promise this one's worth staying up for! We want to hear from YOU! Were you at Garth's Tulsa concerts? What was your favorite moment? Did you catch "The Change," or see Garth interacting with fans during "The Old Stuff"? Come share your memories with us!

| Season 7 Episode 26: Garth Brooks - The Garth Channel Signs Off - Again | 27 Sep 2026 | 00:09:20 | |
The Garth Channel has gone quiet…again. 🎙️💔 In this solo episode of Garthology, Deb takes a look at the change, remembers what made The Garth Channel such a special place for fans, and talks about what she hopes might be part of whatever Garth is planning next. From deep cuts and live performances to behind-the-scenes stories, G-ology, T-Time with Trisha, and those wonderfully personal Garth moments, The Garth Channel offered something beyond a playlist—it gave fans another way to feel connected. And since Garth and Trisha suddenly have a few radio segments in need of a home…Deb has a completely selfless solution. 😉 Garthology is officially volunteering its services. G-ology? We’ll take it. T-Time with Trisha? Absolutely. Stories from the road? Come on over. Garth and Trisha dropping by just to talk about whatever they want? We can clear the schedule. We have microphones. We have enthusiasm. We have Pete and Jess. And Deb is apparently now also the booking department. 😂 All joking aside, Deb also looks ahead to the newly announced multimedia and radio initiative expected from Garth and asks the most important question: What would YOU want from whatever comes next? Would you bring back the familiar segments? More deep cuts? Concert memories? Songwriter and band interviews? Fan requests? Studio stories? New artist discovery? And if The Garth Channel was part of your regular listening routine, we want to hear about that, too. Send Garthology your wish list—we may share your ideas in a future episode! The station may have gone quiet, but we're still listening for what's next. And Garth…you know where to find us. 😉 Find us at: | |||
| Season 7 Episode 25: Garth Brooks - Remembering September 11 | 17 Sep 2026 | 00:07:16 | |
On September 11, 2026—the 25th anniversary of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001—Garth Brooks performed at Chicago’s Allstate Arena. During the concert, he paused the celebration to acknowledge the significance of the day and shared something Deb hadn’t remembered: Garth was in New York City on September 11, 2001. In this episode, Deb talks about Garth’s memories of that day, including seeing tanks on the streets of New York and turning on the radio only to hear his own song, “We Shall Be Free.” Garth explained that from that moment forward, the song meant something different to him. Deb explores how that can happen for us as fans, too. The recording doesn’t change—but sometimes our experiences completely change what we hear in a song. She also looks at three songs Garth performed during the Chicago concert and the message they take on when considered together: 🎵 “We Shall Be Free” — HOPE “All American Kid” — SERVICE 🌹 “The Change” — ACTION Hope. Service. Action. Three Garth songs. Three powerful ideas. And 25 years later, a meaningful way to remember September 11 through the music that has accompanied so many moments in our lives. Join Deb for this special Garthology remembrance as we reflect on the music, the memories, and the way familiar songs can suddenly mean something entirely new. ❤️ Love will always win.

| Season 7 Episode 24: Garth Brooks - Retro Arena Tour Opening | 27 Aug 2026 | 00:23:37 | |
Garth is back in the arena…and Deb was there for the first TWO nights! In this episode of Garthology, Deb takes us inside the opening weekend of Garth Brooks’ new Blame It All on My Roots Arena Tour in Indianapolis. From a stage that brings the energy of the ’90s into 2026 to deep cuts, unexpected covers, an incredible band, and two VERY special “Look Down” moments, these were two nights she won’t soon forget. We’re talking about the thrill of hearing Garth open the show just like he did back in 1996, the surprise of hearing “We Bury the Hatchet,” a little Keith Whitley, a Friday night packed with covers, and the excitement of wondering which performances from Indianapolis might eventually find their way onto Killer Live. If you’ve ever wondered whether the magic of those legendary ’90s Garth arena shows could be captured again, Deb has an answer: this tour isn’t trying to recreate the past—it’s reconnecting with the spirit of it! Grab your cowboy hat, turn it up, and come along for opening weekend! Find us at: | |||

The Ultimate Garth Draft has officially begun! In this brand-new Garthology series, Deb, Pete, and Jess are building their own personal Ultimate Hits-style Garth albums… but with a twist. Every category only allows one song pick per person — and once a song gets taken for that category, it’s off the board for that category. This episode kicks off the competition with two critical categories: Opening Track and Hit Single. Will Deb go full chaos mode? (Yes.) Will Pete tell emotional stories that make us all reflect on life? (Also yes.) Will Jess quietly create the most cohesive album while nobody notices? (Possibly.) From bold picks and backup plans to near-panic moments and unexpected strategy, the first round of the Ultimate Garth Draft delivers laughs, surprises, and plenty of debate-worthy choices. The draft board is open… and the battle has begun. Find us at: | |||

We’re back, Garthologists! 🤠 In this episode of Garthology, we continue our deep dive into The Ultimate Hits DVD from the 2013 box set Blame It All on My Roots: Five Decades of Influences—and this stretch of videos brings all the feels. From the laser-focused intensity of “Shameless” to the high-energy chaos of “Papa Loved Mama” on the flight deck of the USS Enterprise, to the emotional punch of “The River” (yes, we talk about the crowd surf 👀), and the gut-check brilliance of “We Shall Be Free,” this run of videos might be one of the most emotionally layered sections of the entire DVD. We debate when a concert performance works better than a traditional narrative music video (looking at you, “What She’s Doing Now”), celebrate songwriter Kim Williams on the 10th anniversary of his passing, and reflect on how some songs feel even more urgent today than when they were first released. There’s nostalgia. If you’ve ever swayed your arms during “The River,” screamed along to “Papa Loved Mama,” or felt your heart crack open during “We Shall Be Free,” this episode is for you. Love will always win. ❤️ We recorded this episode on the 10th anniversary of the passing of songwriter Kim Williams.

Along the way, they talk confetti guns, crowd sing-alongs, camera work, storytelling choices, and the moments that make Garth… well, Garth.

Expect laughs about wild old-school transitions, love for the band’s long history, and some real feelings when we hit “The Dance.” What is YOUR favorite Garth Brooks music video??
