Reverb! Chorus! Flange!   Dryuary has finally taken its toll on the Brothers Raskin.

The Brothers get into famous axes, preferences, and the genius of Albert King. Brother Ben shares his fascination o...

Hopper! Wayne! Grande! Ever imagine who would win between a bear and giraffe? The Brothers Raskin did, and they get right to the bottom of it.

Brother Ben shares his connection with Dennis Hopper, Flagstaff, and how he would pick a P...

Welcome to the Terrordome! The Brothers Raskin are back! America's second favorite brother themed podcast is here for another episode guaranteed to turn your frown upside down.

If you find yourself in the South Central portion of Los Angeles, order a slice at Delicious Pizza . Hopefully, t...

Polk! Adams! Jackson! It's Donald Trump's world and we're just living in it now. It's the first President Elect podcast and it's a doozy. The Brothers Raskin take turns rehashing the last eight years, do some Bernie Bro talk, and dissect the primary process. Essentially, they talk about about they love D, both big and small, and how Democrats forgot how to talk to people. This isn't tongue and che...

Chilton! Migg! Woots! Happy Halloween from the Brothers Raskin. To celebrate the season, the Brothers made the spooktasticular choice to host Sister Tee. She's a doctor and big fan of 1991's "Silence of the Lambs." Step aside, Hannibal, Doc. Raskin is here to find Catherine Martin. Like a cocoon logged in a dumped river body, Tee shares her love of the movie and why it's her favorite flick. Brothe...

Claypool! Romney! Butler! Slap it good. Slap it very good when Brother/Nephew Oliver Raskin takes third mic. Ollie is a five tool player (bass player, saxophonist, rugger, scholar, ladies' man) thereby earning him a seat at the grown ups' table. Learn what it takes to be an absolute stud and dominate the streets of Maynard when Ollie rundowns his band, crew, and spot on impersonation of his father...

RIP Slam Diego. This was supposed to be the year and darn it, we'll have to wait till next spring. Fortunately, you don't have to wait for this week's Brothers Raskin. The boys are back in town, talking Utah Hockey Club (3-0), Nevada and Colorado State football, and who exactly got crazy for Rangers baseball. Brother Ben recaps a branding conference he attended and talks about the most expensive e...

Here's a list of things the Brothers Raskin did not discuss in this episode: is the Sun brighter than usual? Why is it getting harder and harder to open a Noosa Yogurt? Why are they spray painting dogs to look like pandas in Vietnam? Have you seen "Dawn of the Dead" on YouTube? Nope. Brothers Ben and Patrick don't touch those topics with a ten-foot pole, but if you're looking for "Blair Witch Proj...

Happy Birthday Brother Patrick! The main talent behind the Brothers Raskin podcast clicked over another one on the odometer and we're here to celebrate the funniest man named Raskin, not elected to Maryland's 8 th District.

Welcome to the Brothers Raskin! Brother Ben is back from Idaho and he has a couple of stories to tell. He went up last weekend to support friend of the show, Gwyn F., on his 100+ mile ultramarathon, I.M.T.U.F. McCall did not disappoint and neither did our friend as he crushed his PR and took home the belt buckle. Alongside the Welsh Menace, Ben highlights some friends and family that have made a b...

Welcome to the Brothers Raskin. Technical issues are baked into the remote cake when hosting a podcast. In the past, it was usually something Brother Patrick did: bad Wi-Fi connection, not plugging in the computer, disconnected microphone. This episode takes the cake because a flash flood-esque storm knocked out Brother Ben's electricity in the middle of recording. And because these two rambling m...

Wake up this morning and get yourself a gun. The Brothers Raskin road trip to the Garden State for baked ziti, Paulie Walnuts, and pork sandwiches at Satriale's.

After a quick stop at the Bada Bing, the Brothers recap favorite episodes, characters, and where the Sopra...

Episode 103 means we're in the third year of the Brothers Raskin. It's hard to believe that they've been recording every week for over two years, but here we're at. Hopefully you're subscribed to the show and have left a review and comment. Brother Ben shares a health scare and a Pearl Jam concert in Montana. What he thought was a tetanus shot might have been something considerably worse. On the b...

In space, no one can hear you scream. Unless it's the Brothers Raskin yammering about their favorite movie franchise: Alien(s). Brothers Ben and Patrick stepped out the cryo-sleep chambers to watch Alien: Romulus and they were not disappointed. Get ready for a full review of Fede Álvarez' sci-fi horror entry into the Alien world and it is nothing but spoilers. If you haven't seen Alien: Romulus ye...

Breakin'! Bears! Bozos! Alea iacta est. The Brothers Raskin crossed the Rubicon and there was no way they could do a monumental show remotely. That's why Brother Ben braved 100+ degree temps, one-armed bandits, and drink coupons to travel to the hometown of The Brothers Raskin, Las Vegas. Brother Pat graciously hosted Ben at the Casa de Boones, just east of Mount Charleston, for a tour de force of...
