Character Reveal

This one will be special for our Pittsburgh listeners! We got a chance to kick it with Mikey from the 96.1 FM morning show. We got right into the weirdness talking about Florida stories, some of the cool things we appreciate about Japan, furries, how Pittsburgh is a weird city, Top 40 radio stations as a concept, and lots of nerdy things thrown throughout. Definitely a fun one! Apologies for some...

Well hey, we got weird with this one. We started with anime trailers and the new Steven Universe! But, then we got into controversies, yay. Pence vs. Hamilton, Ubisoft vs. Body Parts, and Fantastic Beasts vs. Problematicness. Then the stuff we got. Have some fun, have some laughs. And yes, explicit language.

We're back and talking with Conrad Zimmerman, of the internet and video games! We went over so many things: There was movies and storytelling, then storytelling in games, a shift gears to underrated shows, aspirations and life paths. We also talked about what not to do at energy plants, copyright struggles and optimism. Also, we mention some election stuff as this was recorded weeks ago. It's arou...

Definitely explicit language in this one. Last week was a hard one and we needed to vent some. Of course we discuss the election, so if that's been too stressful for you, please skip most of the first segment (go to about 14:50) But other than that! We talk about SNL, have some long anime talks, talk about Pacific Rim, and the Hamilton Mixtape. We managed to pull some fun into this one, and there'...

Aw yeah, we're back from vacation. Recorded this past Sunday. We definitely had a good time, laughed and joked, and got a bit...ridiculous and personal. But, DC Movies seem to be getting out of their slump, comics are still weird, Dom's Phone Saga seems to be coming to an end, and representation is standing strong. Good news, right? Explicit language on this one. Songs Used: "Graveyard Theory...

We got a chance to talk to Riley of the Media Mavens podcast about representation, streaming, video games, and the political difference between the United States and Candada.

As always, we chatted about what happened this past week. So, Rogue One, Welcome to Showside, and Alex Trebek inciting a rap beef? Sounds about right. Explicit language on this one.

We talked with The Auracle, aka Bae Grylls, aka Joseph about many things.
