“It’s amazing how the whole idea of podcasts, as a mode of entertainment, has replaced radio in many people’s imaginations,” Robert Plant shared in a new interview with Classic Rock Magazine,

“I’ve also got forty-plus tracks that I’ve never put out,” he continued. “I’ve got stuff that I did in New Orleans with the Li’l Band O’ Gold and Allen Toussaint. I’ve done so many things. I’ve got a whole album, Band Of Joy II, that I did with Buddy Miller and Patty Griffin. I’ve got stuff everywhere.”

“[A podcast] might be a good way to gather some pretty powerful stuff and just eke it out there,” the former Led Zeppelin vocalist then added. “I’ve just been tidying up my little studio here, to do some rehearsing later in the week, and found some stuff with the Space Shifters that we did at Rockfield two years ago. So it’s not just about stuff that came out through the normal channels.”

A few Zeppelin numbers in there as well couldn’t hurt, could they?

Plant also shared that he had also been in contact with Nashville artist Allison Kraus with whom he released collaborative album Raising Sand with in 2007 and that the two were planning on making more music together.
