The Digressor

This isn't a glitch, The Digressor is back in your feed with a brand new season and a brand new look. Now under a network, releasing shorter episodes, and a schedule. Season 5 will run from 5 January 2025 - 22 June 2025.

My original plan was to do my usual improvised Christmas Eve episode with a guest, but our schedules never lined up. It felt weird not at least posting something on Christmas, so here we are. I'll also be taking a short break after this. Think of this as a mid-season finale.

It was either I do this episode or create a third podcast where I talk about gaming. I don't have time for a third podcast, so I made this episode. In it, I discuss things from the announcement of the Switch, my history with it, the different games I like and don't like, as well as ponder the future of Nintendo.

I am joined once again by Abigail from the Manic Pixie Wierdo Podcast as we discuss American propaganda. We begin with the education system and go in all sorts of directions with it. Also, keep in mind that this episode was recorded on 3 June 2022, so there are things we referenced that are now out of date. Check out Abigail's podcast, The Manic Pixie Wierdo .

You're probably thinking, "Didn't you already do a Star Wars episode?". No, I have an episode titled "Star Wars", but I only discussed my thoughts on one of the Legend book series. Now I will be discussing the Original Trilogy. And, of course, digressing into the other areas of the franchise.

From late 1966 until December 1967, a creature known as Mothman terrorized the residents of Point Pleasant, West Virginia. Was this creature benevolent? Did it warn of tragedy? In this episode, I tell a very summarized version of the story, as well as discuss other cryptids.

I honestly can't believe it's taken me this long to do an episode about Zelda. In this episode, I talk about my personal history with the Zelda series, as well as going over the controversial Zelda Timeline.

I'm joined this episode by Abigail from The Manic Pixie Weirdo podcast as we discuss Taylor Swift. We cover everything from how she got started to the reason she is rerecording her first five albums and the behind-the-scenes issues with the music industry. As well as digressing into other topics, because it's this show so of course we did. Check out Abigail's podcast, The Manic Pixie Wierdo .

Phase Three of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is where the story had been heading from the beginning. It all came down to this moment! We're in the endgame now!

It's been eight months since I started my hiatus. Season Four is going to be different from previous seasons, and I used this minisode as kind of an introduction to explain the changes.

In the 50th episode of The Digressor, I have two different Skype calls with two of my oldest friends, Mark and Chasity. We discuss everything from Jurassic World: Dominion to the Zodiac Killer ciphers.

In this episode, I discuss my favourite video games. This is technically part three of the trilogy of episodes. I explain in the episode why it's different from the other two.

I am joined once again by Emery, where we once again get more serious than we meant to by accident.

In this episode, I discuss my favourite movie (and two show) soundtracks. This is part two of a trilogy of episodes.

In this episode, I discuss my favourite albums. This is part one of three. I also introduce my new intro and outro music, which is Come Around by Moon King (used with permission).

In this minisode, I discuss the difference between a remake and a remaster in regards to video games, specifically referring to the upcoming Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy, The Definitive Edition.

In this episode, I cover the second phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Also, there is some audio issues with this episode, so please bear with me.

In this episode, I discuss my 9/11 story, as well as 9/11 in media and other 9/11-related topics.

In this episode, I look back at the early internet.

My first episode in a month and five days, it's basically a general update. I discuss why it's been so long, what I've been up to, as well as digressing to the point of talking about the new Home Alone in more detail than even Disney talked about.

For my first episode living in San Francisco, Emery joins me together in person as we discuss the positive and negative effects of social media and cancel culture, as well as digress a bit and discuss our favourite shows.

In this episode, I discuss the games that were announced at E3 2021.

In this minisode, I discuss bizarre food combinations I've made throughout my life.

In this episode, I discuss asexuality, my history, and the history of it.

I am joined once again by Emery. Joining us is our friend Michaela. She recently graduated after studying to become a music therapist, and she's here today to talk about music therapy.
