Listening to the podcast. Chad Gracey reiterates the reason for leaving Susquehanna off Throwing Copper was due to the amount of space available on a CD at that time. The amount of minutes available on a CD hasn't increased over time so I don't know why he's saying that.

Chad also says that there aren't any more songs that haven't been leaked. I guess he's forgotten about the 35+ songs that were recorded for The Distance to Here as well as the songs performed in 1998 that have never seen the light of day.

A caller (Rich Maxwell) calls in and spend most of the time talking about his life as a Live fan. He talks about a TGF show where only 15 people showed up.

Chad Gracey says he, Chad Taylor and Patrick wrote Believe and then sent it to Ed for lyrics and that Ed 'half assed' it just to placate them.

Chad Gracey lies some of the blame on the disharmony in the band due to their strained relationships on their previous managers. He says that management should have got them to discuss their issues before they got out of hand. He says Live's current manager Chris Hardin (Ed's old manager) is focused 100% on Ed.

is he referring to Throwing Copper unreleased material or the bands full catalogue?

I think he meant the full catalogue but who knows? Regardless, it's not true.
