Podcast The Hero

This week is just a message to our boy to feel better.  Thank you to everyone who was able to participate. We will be on a little break for the rest of the year.  Season 4 will be back in 2026. https://linktr.ee/podcastthehero

This is a completely disjointed episode.  Normal beginning stuff.  Then we get into a mish-mash of questions from Discord,  Youtube Comments, and a nightmare business plan for Rody.  The gift and games are out of order this week.  Stay tuned for a special ESAGFY this week.  Rody has introduced a new segment at the end of the episode.

This week we are inceptioning.  We start in present day, then go back to April 2024, then jump back to 2021. Rody was sick this week, so I made the unilateral decision to repost an episode from 80 episodes ago, that explores the origins of the Podcast, the beginning of our friendship.  If you were around back on Episode 62, skip this.  If not, enjoy a blast from the past.

Cheese has returned this week fresh off his rectal octopus attack.  But we keep it in the ocean this episode.  Ragged Tooth from Pacific Myth is the topic this week.  Shark stuff? Sure. Deep dive into the music? Of course.  Rody thirst-trapping everyone? You betcha.  A fun episode.  For us.  For you? meh.

This week, we had to overcome some nasty stuff to get you some content.  We had to record it in separate sections and piece it all together.  It's not that great.  But it is something.  If you like it, awesome.  If not, well you know the deal.  I can't describe this episode.  It's not that long.  Just listen.

This week Fritzy questions whether Mystery Weekend was the best choice of band name.  So we try to come up with some new one.  Got some help from Twitch.  If you aren't watching Rody's Twitch streams you are missing out.  One of these days we will teach him how to raid.  This was fun.  Please enjoy.

In light of the Radar Fest announcement, we decided to talk about Festival lineups. Rody and Fritz were both bleeding during this taping.  Fritz didn't set up his mic properly so his audio is trash.  Whatever.  It's good enough.  Game, Gifts, Blood, and a grumpy Cheese. Patreon? Discord? Instagram? https://linktr.ee/podcastthehero

Well Halloween has come and gone.  But we can't not talk about it.  Halloween is for Always! Some bananas things happened this Halloween.  Rody, Cage and Houston had adventures.  Fritz, Jenny and Scout survived the Horny-Copia.  There is a game, gifts and all the usual stuff.  Please enjoy.

This week we deviate from the PTH stuff.  Since the Rody is deep in the writing of the new Mystery Weekend record, we decided to break down a Mystery Weekend song from their previous album Surprise.  This week we break down Nostalgia is for the Birds. Rody loves this song. Also we were pretty distracted by the Jays game.  So there is sports talk sprinkled throughout.   Join the Discussion on Disco...

This week is over 90 mins.  You're Welcome.  This was a fun one for sure. Lots of tangents but the main topic is the Life of a Showgirl.  We break down the new Taylor Swift release track by track.  And it is decidedly not a love fest.  Want a critical review?  This is it.  Plus we have a game and gifts that continue from the last 2 weeks. Support us on Patreon Join in the discussion on Discor...

This week's episode doesn't exist.  In fact, this podcast has never existed. Discord Patreon https://linktr.ee/podcastthehero

This week, we dive into another Palimpsest smash hit, Gardenias.  For some reason, this episode is full of debates on really dumb things.  There are a lot of debates.  Gifts and Games including a game from Rody.  There is honestly so much in this episode.

This week Fritzy went on Twitch and crowdsourced all of the questions for this episode about All Hands.  We deep dive the song. Animorphs? Sure.  A game about Hands?  Yup.  Better audio than last week. Also yes.  Anything different than what we do every week? Not even a little. Rody is streaming Mystery Weekend writing on Twitch Wed nights at 9pm ET. Fritzy is streaming after Rody finishes streami...

Rody and Fritz got together this week for a weekend hang in Whitby which included a pop into downtown Toronto to see Propagandhi at the The Concert Hall.  Fritz wore socks.  Rody is very concerned about Fritz's lack of caloric intake.  He can't see well without his glasses.  In this episode we run down our experience at the show.  How the weekend went.  Apologies for the audio quality. ...

Trigger Warning: There is discussion about suicide in this episode.  This week's episode is ostensibly about Scurrilous smash hit C'est La Vie.  But let's be honest, this is Podcast the Hero, so how much time do we spend on it?  Not a ton.  We do dive into a chat from the Discord, talk about what we are gonna eat this weekend, and the VMAs.  We have game straight from the 1980s and...

This week we are joined by Michael Ieradi.  You might remember him from such bands as Today I Caught the Plague and Mystery Weekend.  But he joining us this week to talk about his new musical project Same Fears.  We always love having Michael on the show.  And this show is no different.  The new Same Fears release comes out just before Halloween.  Please check it out.  Follow Same Fears on Instagr...

This week, we are in for a treat.  Watch our very own Rody Walker successfully complete a feat never before seen.  A feat so great it should have its own website where he sells uncensored pictures of it.  And all the while we talk about Soft Targets Dig Softer Graves.  We get into the songwriting and then delve into our usual tangents.  It is the combination of sweet and salty that you all love.  ...

Rody big-timed me this week.  He went to a cottage on a lake but not Walker Manor.  A bigger nicer cottage on a probably bigger nicer lake.  He claimed it had internet.  I didn't believe him, so I invited one of his best friends to take his spot. Famed composer Milen Petzelt-Sorace joins me to talk orchestration in heavy music.  Hear the story of how Milen and Rody met.  Don't get any id...

This episode we dig into A Plateful of Our Dead the final track on Kezia.  Obviously that means we are going to tangent into meat talk and maybe a little cannibalism.  So be warned.  For that one listener, sorry.  We also forgot to pick a t-shirt winner again.  We will.  I promise.  Game.  That is a play on words.  Gifts.  And nonsense. Join us on Discord Support us on Patreon https://linktr.ee/po...

This week we debut the premiere of Paracast the Hero.  Our Paramore-themed Protest the Hero podcast.  This week we dive into Ain't It Fun.  It is catchy plus Cheese loves Paramore more than life itself.  I don't know if he has a Paramore tattoo but I think we need to encourage it if he doesn't.  We also forgot to pick a T-Shirt winner.  We will get to it.  Stop being so greedy.  Gam...

This week we jumped into the PTH catalog and went back to Scurrilous.  We got a special request to cover Termites.  So we did.  There is some addiction talk and mentions of Eating Disorders.  Just wanted to be upfront about that.  We go deep into Gin, Termites, Genies, and gifts.  Some of the conversation deals with serious topics, but hopefully, we kept it light and fun.   Please continue the dis...

This week's episode is based on These Colours Don't Run from A Calculated Use of Sound.  But I said based on.  Sure, there is a little background info on the song.  But this is so much more than that.  The gifts this week are top notch. We are also in the middle of T-Shirt Contest.  Next week is the last week to enter so get your fun names in now. If you want to talk to us and other fans...

Rody is out this week so I decided to give you all a story "hour" (more like 40 minutes).  I am not sure why this stuff always ends up being in space.  My original plan was supposed to be super hero-based.  But ChatGPT knows the real me.  Anyway, this week we have 3 short stories about our good pal Cheese.  They were fun to make and fun to record.  I hope you enjoy listening as much as I...

We bring back all the paying Patreon Names.  There is a new Patreon Name Contest in Effect until the end of July.  To Enter just make yourself a new Patreon user name each week and we will pick the best one for a T-Shirt.  Cheese, I think, was using his Mac Mic this week instead of his actual mic so he sounds a little different.  Whatever.  We don't really care.  This week's episode is a...

This week we dip back into the Volition well and we grab a bucket of yellow teeth.  I know everyone really wants song breakdowns.  There is only so much we can dive into before we go off on tangents. So you get some Yellow Teeth and then actual teeth.  PTH News, New Music, a gift and a game.   Keep the conversation going on Discord Support us on Patreon. https://linktr.ee/podcastthehero
