This week on the Culture Gabfest Slate Plus bonus segment, hosts Dana Stevens and Stephen Metcalf are joined by feature writer and critic Chris Molanphy to share their guilty-pleasure workout songs. What bass lines bring out their inner beasts during exercise? Who has a better pump-up song—the Goo Goo Dolls or Bruce Springsteen? Can the soundtrack from a classic film inspire intense cardio? And do we need music to enhance our workout regimens?

Here’s what the other podcasts discussed on their Slate Plus bonus segments from the past week:
