Radical Research podcast explores "genius" of Kevin Moore

June 20, 2026

A popular podcast focusing on rock and metal music recently explored the "genius" of Kevin Moore.

The Radical Research podcast has posted an hour-and-a-half episode that chronologically explores the keyboardist's career starting with Dream Theater's debut album, When Dream and Day Unite, in 1989 and ending with OSI's fourth album, Fire Make Thunder, in 2012.

The podcast itself, which is described as a "conversation about the inner- and outer-reaches of rock and metal music," is conceived and conducted by Hunter Ginn and Jeff Wagner – the latter of whom is the author of multiple books including Destination Onward: The Story of Fates Warning, which was published in 2022. 

"The scope of Kevin Moore's genius begins with Dream Theater's 'Space-Dye Vest' and concludes with OSI's Fire Make Thunder," the podcasters wrote in the episode's description.  "We try to use the g-word sparingly around here, but truly, Moore's singular artistic vision is something we attempt to hail and dissect here, for our 147th episode.  Join us in celebrating this specific, singular talent."
