Critical Thinking Podcast

We're still getting our forces rallied for the new year... So in the mean time, we've got some more outtakes and bloopers and crazy behind the scenes moments from the past year! CAUTION: There are no F***s given in this episode. Some of this stuff was never meant to see the light of day. So carry on at the risk of shocking your sensibilities!

We have another great interview for you guys with our very sweet and talented guest from the Philippines, Manilyn! We had the pleasure of being her first interviewers in her career as a recording artist. She held up well under the pressure of our "highly intellectual" battery of questions... Or rather, she managed to survive the insanity of our antics and buffoonery! Manilyn had no problem keeping...

Bringing you a special recording from 3 weeks ago. This is a short one but a good one. It was an experimental attempt at censoring. And it consequently came out pretty hilarious! We give you some round table stories from that weekend and box office numbers for the first week of October with all of our salty commentary. Try this for a drinking game: take a drink every time you hear a censored word....

On this episode of CTP, Rick and Miguel had a blast interviewing the very talented and edgy indie author, Ashley Nemer! They found her to be a very quick-witted, pithy conversationalist who fit perfectly on the show. Aside from being really entertaining with the banter, there is also a lot of very interesting insights to be gained from this episode for anyone interested in writing. This episode is...

Ep. #98: "Trailer Park Adventures With Kev" This episode we enjoyed the return of our illustrious guest, Kevin Gootee, the brilliant mind behind Comics Watching Comics (which you can see on Amazon Video).

We had a freaking awesome episode this time! Shawn is reunited with the podcast after his month long sojourn in Ohio. Miguel is overjoyed at having another mug to stare at aside from Rick's.

We had a blast together and also brought in a really entertaining guest that we're sure...

In this episode we have the eccentric and extremely witty, Gary Morgenstein, who is the mad genius behind the promotion of the Sharknado movies. But he is also the writer of a new science fiction hit novel, A Mound Over Hell! Which is an awesome sci-fi novel that combines a dystopian, post-World War III America with 20th century baseball legends. Miguel and Rick had a great time talking with Gary...
