What does Wilco look like through the eyes of a young fan?

In this episode of Shoving Wilco, Todd sits down with his second cousin, Charlie Archambault—a passionate young Wilco fan who has built his life around the band's music, traveled to countless shows, and recently experienced his first Solid Sound Festival.

Charlie shares the surprising story of how he discovered Wilco, why the band's music resonates with a younger generation, and what keeps him coming back. The conversation also dives into the unique culture of "the rail"—the dedicated fans who line up hours before showtime for a coveted spot against the stage—and the friendships and community that have grown from following the band.

Whether you've been listening since A.M. or you're just discovering Wilco yourself, this episode is a reminder that great music doesn't belong to one generation. It keeps finding new listeners, creating new stories, and connecting people in unexpected ways.
