We originally used different intro songs for the podcast, but one from Podcast editor Sean’s former band, Palmyra, quickly became a permanent anthem for the podcast.
Palmyra, now inactive, was a Brooklyn based quintet made up of Gina Pensiero (songs, vocals, guitar), Karl Sturk (guitar), Kenny Roebuck (trumpet, vocals), Sean Lango (bass, synth), and Jonathan Lango (drums).
The intro song is Spires. The outro song is called Whereby the Signatory. And snippets used from bumpers include Cold Coffee, Suicidal Female Poets, and on rare occasions Lights Dot. These can all be found on the Palmyra bandcamp under the albums Hoodcat and The City, On Repeat.
Besides their weekly appearance on the Thinking Poker Podcast, it’s quite likely that the Palmyra-specific chapter is closed. But you can support the band their digital songs on Bandcamp, and Gina’s voice does live on in her collaboration with Sean softcenter
