Those Who Are About To Dive with Dr. Glund – Details, episodes & analysis

Those Who Are About To Dive is a narrative, track-by-track exploration of Colosseum—the pioneering British jazz-rock band that fused blues, brass, virtuosity, and fire long before genres learned how to name it.

Hosted by Chaz Charles, the series journeys through every studio album by Colosseum, Colosseum II, and the band’s reunion era—in strict chronological order. No compilations. No live albums. Just the recorded canon, examined with care, context, and conviction.

Each episode treats a song not as background music, but as a case study—its creation, its players, its sound, and its place in history—guided by the show’s resident oracle, Dr. Glund, the original pROCKtologist. Every track faces a simple but ruthless standard:

• The guitar must rock
• The music must expand the mind
• It must never—ever—sell out

With deep research, cultural context, and a storyteller’s voice, Those Who Are About To Dive is part music history, part ritual, and part judgment—built for serious listeners, musicians, and anyone who believes great records deserve more than a casual spin.

This is not a hits podcast.

It’s a deep dive into musicianship, intent, and legacy.

Where tracks become trials.

Where legends face inspection.

And no song escapes…

The Examination.
