The Rants & Musings Podcast

In this episode, Chris rants about Timothee Chalamet and his love of Waymo’s, Kandice expounds on her joy for Resident Evil Requiem and the absurdity of TurboTax’s new tipping questions, and Caleb catches us up on life in Japan and creates a new career path: Sky Pirates! Ai Corner has completely collapsed into a new level of nonsense, leading Kandice to take a break—wellness checks will be had. Th...

In this episode, we catch up on family and societal annoyances, and discuss video games. Kandice and Chris share their progress on their current writing projects and goals for the year (we got this, y’all). Of course, true to form, we discuss Matt Dinniman’s Dungeon Crawler Carl and his newest book, Operation Bounce House. If that isn’t enough, we round out your listening experience with everyone’...

We’re back from our holiday hiatus! In this episode, we discuss strange sightings around town, Caleb’s adventure in a love hotel, not to mention his fabulous tartine breakfast, Chris’s apparent inability to advance in Silent Hill 2, the glory of Heated Rivalry, and what seems to be a recurring topic: our love for Dungeon Crawler Carl. In AI corner, a melancholic piping bag hates his life as he fil...

In this episode, we discuss grief and the recent passing of Kandice’s father. It was therapeutic, full of laughter, but of course, in usual fashion, ridiculous and rant-filled. By the end, we decided we shouldn’t be invited to events that require us to act a certain way. Don’t worry, we still hit all of our beats—over in AI corner, we debate whether a man really fell into a symmetrical staircase t...

In this episode, we discuss adaptations of art, especially Webtoons! Many great properties have expanded into other media to broaden their accessibility, including blockbusters like The Witcher and Game of Thrones, all the way to Dungeon Crawler Carl. We consider where our stories fit, including Kandice’s stick figures (whose actions might lead any collaborator she works with to make a call gettin...

In this episode, Caleb comes in hot with a cozy sweater blurb so hot it’s going to make 6-7 go out of fashion. And then, as if it could get any better, we discuss video games! These aren’t just for fun and maintaining motor skills, y’all, as gaming has some of the best narratives and stories around. We cover Silent Hill, Resident Evil 4, Clair Obscur Expedition 33, Borderlands, and get kinky with...

In this episode, Kandice and Chris discuss horror! From books and shows to public mustiness and the quick resolution of a “Directed by Michael Bay” situation, we cover the gamut with some rants mixed in. And of course, even though we almost missed it, AI corner! The Rants & Musings Podcast is listener-supported and is part of Veiled Musings by Chris Kauzlarich. Please consider subscribing and leav...

In this episode, Caleb dresses like a pirate and realizes that climbing a mountain isn’t worth it. Chris listens to stories in Obama’s voice, and the guys witness Kandice being silenced in real-time for her controversial plan to solve internet peace. Also, as usual, there are plenty of rants and laughs, with a dash of knowledge thrown at you, Salt Bae-style. The Rants & Musings Podcast is listener...

Hi listeners! In this episode, the return of Caleb! We also chat about Caleb’s new anthology, I Haven’t Been Sleeping Well These Last Thirty Something Years (currently with beta readers), Kandice’s short story about a hot dog eating contest and a failed relationship, as well as Pharaoh’s and Chris’s two works-in-progress, In This Town and Kiss & Tell . Sounds serious, right? Don’t worry, there are...

It’s official, we’re back! After a nine-year hiatus from podcasting, when our critically acclaimed writer pod ended (we won’t cite our sources), we’ve returned for some fresh podcasting hijinks! Since it is our first episode back and we lean heavily into how tired we are after turning 40, we couldn’t be bothered to learn how everything worked in advance. That said, there were a few connectivity an...
