Villain For All Seasons

News EN ↓ 32 episodes

Tune in to hear a group of simpletons telling you how to live your life. When the creatine ain't hitting right, and the binaural beats are feeling mono, this is the podcast to lift you from your deep sheep slumber. The truth is out there, but that seems like a lot of work. Without the capacity to observe the present or predict the future, these chaps will reach deep into the rich history of memes and 15 second reels to deliver you the news of yesteryear. We're talking dive bar politics, cultural cold cuts, and chicanery that keeps the voices in our head from speaking to the feds in our phones.
