Sauropod: Podcasting the 21st Century

JZ 6-5000 and his nephew, the villainous 13-year-old bounty hunter Chris-Zero, are throwing a party for Star Wars' 43rd b-day and the whole galaxy is invited. Why are the Hutts so successful at Hutting? Is Obi Wan secretly the absolute worst? Which galactic beast of burden would you choose to domesticate and why? Chris has Skywalker Saga thoughts to transmit - open your comlink to receive them! Fe...

Chaos is at the wheel as Dettifoss makes his triumphant, wine-soaked return to the airwaves. The gang gets caught up on his recent doings before diving deep into the morass of Eurovision 2020. It's cancelled this year, but apparently they're running some bullshit bootleg version online, so strap in. The beat goes on. And on and on and on... Featuring Dettifoss Bergmann, Shrishma Naik, Katherine Sh...

Professors Tom and Justin leverage the energy of the ancients to demonstrate how the most clever of caliphs can find their way inside the Great Pyramid. The Giza custodial department is questioned, granite plugs are plugged, the word "chevron" is bandied about quite a bit, everyone's talking hinges, and Tom proposes that nothing good happens "down." Plus: the Coral Castle, decoded! Featuring Tom M...

It's the spectacular red carpet debut of B4B! Shrishma guides the gang through the 1995 classic Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. Get ready to build a cultural bridge as true love crosses the alps, defies a frightening dad-glare, and dances its way into your heart with a little help from some Bollywood magic and probably the editor. Plus, Shrishma's very specific height-needs, the ideal evil eye-to-ble...

In a testament to the persistence of the human spirit, the ongoing pandemic has not stopped crazy shit from unfolding in every hemisphere. Paintings will be stolen, ancient horniness will cross oceans of time, and tigers will be violated by gun-toting meth-heads. If you needed a reason to #stayhome, the sheer volume of outstanding Snewz on offer should do it. You can thank us later. Featuring Shri...

History's greatest mystery is both decoded and then further encoded by your hosts in this thoroughly researched and wildly speculative dissertation on the Great Pyramid of Giza. How did this thing get built and why? Did the ancient Egyptians have shape issues? What about a limestone fetish? Get thee to the mystery school lecture hall and find out - pharaoh commands it. Featuring Tom McCartan and J...

What good is dying if you can't drag a spouse along for the ride while doing it? Will the dim avarice of detectorists be the undoing of the entire hobby? Are moon energies impacting bull populations? How can a shark jingle the change in its pockets if it can't wear trousers? All of these questions - and one about a grocery store - are addressed and sometimes resolved in the thrilling yet sluggish...

Coming in hot and heavy from our quarantine to yours, the Snewz gang refuses to quit one another! We check in with how everyone is dealing with the isolation, the working from home, the cooking of all the meals, and, of course, the surplus of television time. Followed up by some topical information about ancient, glaciated viruses, the Black Plague, and the miasma funk of London's cholera epidemic...

Henge-worthy stones are coopted by Big Religion, Australia keeps a watchful eye out for bolides, some trench coat wearing sneaks take the most elaborate vacation photo ever, Aztec loot looted by Cortes finally turns up, and UFOs are moved around in some government file cabinets for no good reason. Featuring Shrishma Naik, Katherine Sherlock, and Justin Zeppa.  We appreciate your support, so please...

It's a series of fancy people in fancy outfits as we report on the antics of feathered dinosaurs in the Antarctic, a failed, mid-life crisis pirate, a successful, well-dressed jewel thief, and an eligible bachelor dripping in precious metals. Also: hit us up, Tionne! Featuring Shrishma Naik, Katherine Sherlock, and Justin Zeppa.  We appreciate your support, so please subscribe, rate, review, and f...

All spoilers, all the time, this should go without saying. We saw Star Wars Episode XI: The Rise Of Skywalker and we have thoughts - and feelings! Just like real space humans. Join us for a not-terribly-organized breakdown of what those thoughts and feelings might be, and then fight us on the internet when you disagree. Which is what fandom is all about. Featuring Shrishma Naik and Justin Zeppa. ...

No spoilers here, baby! It's that hallowed time when anxiety, speculation, and shenanigans come together in a potent mix of delightful fan paranoia. That's right, a new Star War is out. It could be amazing, or it could be really bad. We won't actually know until tonight, so until then, let's set unreasonable expectations and prepare ourselves to lash out when they are not met and/or exceeded. Also...

It's the laziest of programs, and it's reporting all the news you needed to know, probably some time ago. A piece of art is ripped from its plumbing in spectacular fashion, a long-overlooked bit of King Tut detritus is finally examined, and we receive an in-depth report on what happens when moon energies disappear (Spoiler: nothing). Prepare to be enlightened, it's the Snewz. Featuring Shrishma Na...

Murder-suicide houses, monster inventories, haunted closets, Zorro appropriations, killer clowns, killer 5ks, ghosts of foreign lands, moon energies, and a smattering of Ouija - how could you go wrong? Push that stupid mummy over and enjoy the Halloween season with an all-star cast. Featuring Chelsea Doyle, Tom McCartan, Mike McKeogh, Ali McLeod, Shrishma Naik, Katherine Sherlock, Finn Wrisley, an...

Tom may have been kind of robust as a youth, but that doesn't mean he wasn't afraid of vampires and getting into trouble. Finn grapples with permanence and acid in the face, while Chelsea (who spent some time in the sub-Amish) fears for her father, who might be going to hell. And the damage done to Ali by cinema's Jawbreaker is matched only by everyone's enthusiasm for leavening, unleavening, and...

Sauropod Season 2 ends with what might be the most chaotic episode yet. Dr. Wriz leads us on an odyssey back into the womb of the 1990s, a decade many of us never wanted to leave in the first place. Dorm room walls will be betrayed, choruses will be delayed, whistling genres will be established, and 9/11 will be invoked several times without apology. Tell me all your thoughts on Gorky Park, then t...

The level of concern over Greta Van Fleet's rockin'ness is questioned while the Blue Oyster Club charges some hefty dues (your soul). Throw in some misty Dixie love - or was it SHeDAISY? - and an inspiring story about Tom's hot situation with the Born To Run album, and you've got yourself a block's worth of serious rock. Plus, the exciting micro-history of Quaaludes! Zoso, baby. Featuring Chelsea...

A never-before heard classic from the archives. Let's take you way back to 2017, when it seemed like Harry Styles might endanger the world's speakers and cinemas forevermore. Throw in a hypothetical awards ceremony from the late-90s, an incoherent phone message, and some cloudy 1980s metaphors, and this ep will have you cumming like a freak show. It's Blocktober, y'all! Featuring Sarah McCartan, T...

A city's proud musical legacy is stained by the corny beats made by the son of a used car dealer. It's the quintessential riches-to-further riches story, in which some dude unleashes an unfortunate fusion of rap, rock, country, and shiny pants onto an unsuspecting world. That dude? Dr. Phil. Featuring Dettifoss Bergmann, Shrishma Naik, and Justin Zeppa.  We appreciate your support, so please subsc...

Did you know that the Sauropod has an internship program? We didn't either, but apparently it's very highly regarded. Join us for orientation as we welcome new show intern Shrishma to the RVKTNT offices and find out exactly what her deal is and if she can get college credit for her participation (hint: she cannot). Featuring Dettifoss Bergmann, Shrishma Naik, and Justin Zeppa.  We appreciate your...

History’s most enjoyable monster, Chelsea Doyle, invites her monster-friends to air their most unpopular opinions. Timeless maxims, feature film run-times, Kardashian shade, potlucks, pizza parties, the Silent Generation, and Betty White all take a pounding in this debut episode. They might not be popular, but at least they have each other. Featuring Chelsea Doyle, Tom McCartan, Ali McLeod, James...

It's business as usual when Pearl Jam's drumming lineage is debated and an international burger-emergency is narrowly avoided. Self-esteems are then ruined with another earth-shattering round of 'Ha? Hvað segir þú?' We might be looking California and/or feeling Minnesota, but we're definitely sounding Reykjavík, tonight. Just like the name of the show. Featuring Dettifoss Bergmann and Justin Zeppa...

Tom's back and he's checking for feet. A mystery of too many men's room occupants is debated, the fabled women's room couch is marveled at, and Ali inadvertently plays a shell-game with her workplace's cardboard applicators. Featuring Chelsea Doyle, Tom McCartan, Ali McLeod, and Finn Wrisley.  We appreciate your support, so please subscribe, rate, review, and follow the show. Tell all your friends...

Hysteria abounds with the world premiere of our long-awaited game show, 'Ha? Hvað segir þú?' Explore the delicate nuances of the Icelandic language, one of the world's most unpopular tongues. Can a lazy American conquer the innis and útis of 32 letters, at least one of which is straight-up lifted from Old Norse runes? That's right - fucking runes! Tune in to these dropouts for all the wrong answer...

Tom McCartan has returned and is ready to scrub the grout with both hands as modern etiquette goes back under the black light. Shower drain usage, roadside urinal layouts, and a very special sandwich are put through the Breach ringer and hung out to dry between the disgusting blowers of a Dyson hand dryer. Featuring Tom McCartan, Ali McLeod, James Ohngren, and Finn Wrisley.  We appreciate your sup...
