Talk Toomey with Joshua Toomey

Author: Joshua Toomey

In the world of music podcasting, there are basically two categories - podcasts by fans, and podcasts by famed musicians that have reached the pinnacle of success. Somewhere in the middle of that is the Talk Toomey podcast. Hosted by Joshua Toomey, who previously was a member of national recording artists Primer 55, Talk Toomey avoids the pitfalls of fandom and the backslapping glad handing that comes from successful bands shamelessly talking to each other. Instead, you get focused, powerful and real looks into the inner circle of being a hard rock/heavy metal band, complete with questions most are too afraid to ask because their experience doesnt meet or exceed the level needed to ask and relate. Talk Toomey has been regularly hailed as a top show since the onset, being highlighted on sites like Blabbermouth, Brave Words, etc. Talk Toomey is released for music fans free every Thursday!

AJ Channer Breaks Silence on Fire From The Gods Exit and His New Life as CHNNR
Episode 592
Thursday, 30 October, 2025

In this raw and revealing episode of Talk Toomey, host Joshua Toomey sits down with AJ Channer to talk about his powerful new project, CHNNR. AJ opens up about his tumultuous departure from Fire From The Gods and the dark spiral that followed — from drugs and rehab to jail and hard lessons learned. He discusses breaking free from rock star stereotypes, losing friends along the way, and finding redemption through rebuilding his family and his purpose. AJ also shares stories of humility, including his time as a “failed FedEx driver,” and how all of it led to new beginnings and creative rebirth with CHNNR.
