The Seduction of Mildred Harvey
May 27, 2017 23:04 - 4 minutes - 4.38 MBSometimes an everyday mundane occurrence can lead to something extraordinary. Or extraordinarily stupid. -- Music: "George Street Shuffle" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
State of the Podcast 2017
March 08, 2017 03:15 - 5 minutes - 4.95 MBJust a quick update on what's been going on, what's happening now and maybe what's to come. Check out the School of Movies podcast, because it's good. You can hear Part 1 of the Nintendo special here. -- Music: "George Street Shuffle" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
The Lady Does Possess A Fine Backside
January 19, 2017 03:28 - 5 minutes - 5.45 MBI offer you this without explanation.

Final Dispatch of 2016 [Explicit]
December 28, 2016 04:22 - 13 minutes - 12.5 MBThis show went on unofficial (and unintentional) hiatus sometime toward the end of October. Rather than dwell on the multitude of reasons why, I'm going to concentrate on looking forward to what comes next. I hope you'll still be there to enjoy it with me. Thanks.
Election 2016, It's Not Christmas Yet, And Celebrating My Stage Debut [Explicit]
October 28, 2016 00:43 - 12 minutes - 2.96 MBQuick off the cuff ramblings done on my phone because the internet is still being weird and refusing to play nice with my laptop. This might be funny.
Shameless Self-Promotion - Confetti Fest
September 30, 2016 05:00 - 5 minutes - 4.96 MBI still don't have a "real" episode for you guys, but I thought the least I could do was let you know more about why I've been so busy this month, and of course shamelessly plug the theater show I'm appearing in. To find out more about the short play festival and pre-purchase tickets, visit ConfettiStage.org, and follow Confetti Stage on Facebook. -- Music: "Fig Leaf Rag - distressed" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecom...
Lazy Cross-Promotion - New Century [Explicit]
September 16, 2016 05:00 - 10 minutes - 9.68 MBI have plenty of excuses for not having a proper podcast episode done for this week, but let's go with this one: New Century is a great audio drama series and I haven't given it a signal boost in a while. And since I became a big enough fan to actually wind up playing a character or two in it, it seems like this was overdue. So prepare yourself for a cascading torrent of plugs. (I'll spare you the fanboy gushing for now) If you're unsure where to start, there's now an introductory episode gi...
Interview - Free Beer and Hot Wings (And Steve) [Explicit]
September 02, 2016 05:00 - 15 minutes - 14.1 MBIf an industry professional told me that the dying medium of terrestrial talk radio is being saved single-handedly by the guys of The Free Beer And Hot Wings Morning Show, I would absolutely believe them. If that professional instead told me they are single-handedly killing radio, I'd believe that too. Eternally cursed with silly names and a tricky format, Free Beer, Hot Wings, and the rest of their crew manage to bring a surprising level of talent and self-awareness to a genre that is sore...
Teaser Trailer - Rocks Fall, Everyone Drinks [Explicit]
August 19, 2016 05:00 - 5 minutes - 4.66 MBIn case anyone's curious what I've been working on, here's just a taste. This project might wind up existing on its own feed rather than this one. If so, there will be far less frequent updates here. -- Music: "Lord of the Land", "Master of the Feast", "Take a Chance" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
Bad Tinder Profiles Vol. 3 [Explicit]
August 05, 2016 05:00 - 18 minutes - 17.3 MBIf hell is other people, Tinder is an eldritch gateway to the ninth circle vomiting flames, brimstone, and despair. A gateway that I inexplicably decided to go back and install on my phone again because hey, maybe it's not as bad as I remember. Well, it's all exactly like I remember, but maybe we can share a couple of laughs together. -- Music: "George Street Shuffle" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licens...
Not-So-Dramatic Readings - ORCA Chapter 6 [Explicit]
July 22, 2016 05:00 - 12 minutes - 11.9 MBHave I mentioned that I thoroughly hate this character? Because I thoroughly hate this character. Seriously, if he doesn't have something awful happen to him soon, I don't think I can keep going. -- Music: "Epic Unease" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
Boiling The Lobster - Part 4 [Explicit]
July 08, 2016 05:00 - 38 minutes - 34.9 MBIn the final part of our long-winded discussion of The Lobster, we go over the final act of the film, speculate on the somewhat polarizing ending, and discuss a smattering of other random topics before we wrap up. This was a lot of fun to record, and I am guessing it won't be the last movie chat series I produce on this feed. So, hopefully you didn't hate it. There will probably be something different next time. Find your own ideal second-chance animal by taking the official quiz at thelob...
Boiling The Lobster - Part 3 [Explicit]
July 01, 2016 05:00 - 33 minutes - 30.9 MBOur in-depth discussion of the plot, themes, soundtrack, cinematography, and basically everything about The Lobster continues. There's only one episode left after this one. Unless we wind up doing another discussion. Then I guess the Lobsterfest will go on. If you can't tell, we're colossal nerds and we're a little obsessed. Find your own ideal second-chance animal by taking the official quiz at thelobster-movie.com. Special thanks to Mike Bohl from Player Two for his help with editing this...
Boiling The Lobster - Part 2 [Explicit]
June 24, 2016 05:00 - 32 minutes - 30.1 MBWith our initial review out of the way, Moira and I start digging deep into every aspect of Yorgos Lanthimos' The Lobster. Over the next three episodes we spoil virtually every aspect of the plot, so if you care enough to see this film and still haven't done so, go do that before listening to the rest of these. Find your own ideal second-chance animal by taking the official quiz at thelobster-movie.com. Special thanks to Mike Bohl from Player Two for his help with editing this monster. Ch...
Boiling The Lobster - Part 1: Spoiler-Free Review [Explicit]
June 17, 2016 05:00 - 10 minutes - 9.78 MBMoira and I give a brief overview of Yorgos Lanthimos' unique comedy The Lobster, discuss its themes, and give our hearty recommendation. This episode is pretty short. The next part will not be. We talked at great length about this movie, but for now I wanted to make sure people have a chance to see it before we spoil every single detail of the plot. Find your own ideal second-chance animal by taking the official quiz at thelobster-movie.com. Special thanks to Mike Bohl from Player Two for ...
Not-So-Dramatic Readings - ORCA Chapter 5 [Explicit]
June 03, 2016 05:00 - 11 minutes - 11.2 MBI think I finally figured it out. Just like the section titled The Shark having a shark that died in the very next chapter, the whole big scary orca premise was a total bait-and-switch. The titular orca is actually the hero of this book, and Jack Campbell is the monster. It's kind of like Moby Dick if Moby Dick was much smaller scale, and the book lacked a moral center, a sense of tension, a straightforward well-crafted plot, fascinating characters, or literary quality of any kind. Hey, at...
Not-So-Dramatic Readings - ORCA Chapter 4 [Explicit]
May 20, 2016 05:00 - 21 minutes - 20.3 MBJack Campbell and company have been all over New England hunting a great white shark. Without a catch, they'll lose their marina. Their search is about to end, but will they have what it takes to bring the beast back alive? Will they fail and meet their demise at sea? Or will fate (and maybe a hot marine biologist) intervene? My apologies to the good people of Canada. -- Music: "Epic Unease", "One of Them" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3...
Adventures in Social Awkwardness - Squaredancing
May 06, 2016 05:00 - 16 minutes - 15.2 MBIn today's adventure, I recount my participation in a strange tradition carried out at my school and likely many others, which served as the bane of my social existence: the square dance. -- Music: "George Street Shuffle" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
More Walking Dead Talk - Season 6 Finale And Beyond [Explicit]
April 22, 2016 05:00 - 1 hour - 66.9 MBSpoilers galore, folks. After giving it a few weeks to lie cold and dead, the controversy over The Walking Dead's Season 6 finale has reanimated and is here to gnaw on your brains in our latest discussion episode. Jess, Becca and I take a barb-wire-wrapped bat to the head of the episode's shocking ending, while still taking time to speculate about whose head was really on the proverbial chopping block. We also get into all the things we liked about this past season and the show in general,...
Bad Tinder Profiles Vol. 2 [Explicit]
April 09, 2016 02:26 - 18 minutes - 16.5 MBBetter late than never. Here to make you wonder how anybody finds love in this crazy mixed-up world, it's another installment of Bad Tinder Profiles. -- Music: "George Street Shuffle" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
Adventures In Social Awkwardness - First Girlfriend?
March 25, 2016 05:00 - 14 minutes - 13.3 MBNot necessarily my best telling of it, but this is the story of the first girl I ever dated. Sort of... -- Music: "George Street Shuffle" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
Not-So-Dramatic Readings - ORCA Chapter 3 [Explicit]
March 11, 2016 05:00 - 27 minutes - 25.7 MBThere's a long outtakes reel on this one. Anticipation is mounting as Chapter 3 lays the remaining groundwork for the adventure Jack Campbell and his crew are about to embark on. It's not quite the stupidest thing I've ever read. Some of it is almost enjoyable. Keep your ears open for the continued creepy sexual undertones between him and his sister. This episode will mark a return to our regular fortnightly schedule, releasing something every other Friday. The Walking Dead discussion has ...
Breaking Podcast News and A Call To Action
March 01, 2016 05:00 - 12 minutes - 11.6 MBThere's a big story breaking in the world of podcasting, and it directly relates to this show.

The Situation With Eric Zane
February 23, 2016 05:00 - 15 minutes - 14.5 MBThere was a lot of shock and outrage surrounding Eric Zane's departure from the Free Beer and Hot Wings morning show, of which he'd been a cornerstone for 15 years of broadcasting. All the facts are still not known, but tensions have been running high, and rather than wait any longer, I decided to chime in and offer a few words of support for Zane, and hopefully some perspective for fellow longtime fans. Follow Zane's recent exploits on his Twitter account, Facebook fan page, and YouTube cha...
Winter 2016 Can Eat All The Anuses [Explicit]
February 19, 2016 05:00 - 18 minutes - 16.9 MBA number of factors threatened to prevent me putting out any kind of episode this week, and my mounting frustration gave way to this directionless rant where I was basically mad at everything but too exhausted to really rip into anyone (deserving or otherwise). Instead I just complained about petty things and made some sarcastic remarks. I'm releasing the full uncut rant with an update at the start, since I think there are still some people who would appreciate hearing the whole thing, and ...
Not-So-Dramatic Readings - ORCA Chapter 2 [Explicit]
February 05, 2016 05:00 - 21 minutes - 20.4 MBThis one is less funny and more plain old cringe-inducing, for a variety of reasons. Still, I wanted to continue this book because I'm sure there's still more comedy to be mined from it, so for now I just needed to slog through this miserable chapter and try to find the stupid bits to make fun of. I gave it a shot. Hopefully you derive some enjoyment from it. -- Music: "Epic Unease" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommo...
A Rough Return To Stand-Up Comedy [Explicit]
January 22, 2016 05:00 - 20 minutes - 18.6 MBA last-minute comedy gig turns into a big headache, a mediocre performance, and a somewhat amusing story to share. I hope you enjoy it. If anyone actually wants to hear it, I'll post the raw audio of my stand-up set next week. Also, listen to the wonderful sci-fi audio drama New Century and see if you can spot me in Episode 8 of Arlington. Seriously, even if you don't care about me, it's just a good show. -- Music: "George Street Shuffle" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under ...
A Rough Start To 2016 [Explicit?]
January 08, 2016 05:00 - 30 minutes - 28.3 MBThis episode is weird and not very funny or well produced, but I've apparently started a tradition of letting this show fall completely apart around New Year's time. So, instead of regular planned content for this week, you're getting this rambling episode in which I just talk honestly about the anxiety I've been struggling with for the past few weeks, and then let you know about some fun things you will have to look forward to later this year. And definitely go listen to New Century if you ...

Interview - Comedian Sam Gorenstein
December 24, 2015 05:00 - 52 minutes - 48.5 MBI'm so excited to finally share this interview, I almost don't care that it sounds like crap. Sam and I discuss stand-up comedy, working on a sitcom, and the creative writing process. Check out the Mix & Master channel on YouTube to see the pilot episode of Mix & Master, plus various extra videos and skits including Engineering the Truth with Sam's character Gavin Mitchell (which you heard at the end of this episode). I sadly do not have any dates for Sam's future stand-up gigs, but when I...

Talking Heads on The Walking Dead - S6 E5-8 [Explicit]
December 18, 2015 05:00 - 1 hour - 72.7 MBIn this slightly more focused (though slightly more inebriated) round table, Jess, Becca, and I review our predictions from last time, discuss our reactions and theories regarding recent events on the show, and continue to make bold predictions for the rest of the season. This should go without saying, but this entire discussion contains major spoilers for Season 6 of The Walking Dead. Make sure you're caught up to Episode 8 before listening to our discussion. Also, we get into some potent...

November 13, 2015 04:00 - 1 hour - 80.1 MBJess and I reflect on the direction the hit AMC series is taking, discuss some of the controversial plot and production decisions that have divided the audience, predict where the story will go in the future, and wonder what the heck is going on with Glenn.

Rant - Fan Entitlement
November 05, 2015 04:00 - 20 minutes - 18.8 MBAs long as you're all kind enough to spend some of your free time listening to the things I've created, I thought I might as well take a moment to show my appreciation by complaining about what a bunch of fickle babies you are.

Archetype Chapter 3ish - A Discussion
October 23, 2015 05:00 - 16 minutes - 14.9 MBSo, this is my first earnest attempt at voice acting. I'm doing a scene from Archetype, a sci-fi/fantasy series that I'm working on. This is probably one of the funnier scenes, but more importantly it's all dialogue so it's easy to do in an audio format. If you enjoyed it and would like to hear more from these characters in the future, let me know because I'm close to being ready to start sharing this stuff with the world. I still need a good artist to work with, preferably with an anime-ins...

Game of Thrones - Session 2 [Explicit]
October 17, 2015 01:58 - 1 hour - 78.4 MBI hosted another Game of Thrones discussion toward the end of September. This discussion featured Jess and Drac. Kester unfortunately couldn't make it. It was kind of last minute on a Saturday night and we were all pretty tired, but overall it was a lot of fun and surprisingly intellectually stimulating. Also, there are a few potential spoilers for Harry Potter and Mass Effect. Oh, and Season 5 of Game of Thrones. Time-stamps for main discussion topics: 00:03:30 - Character ages 00:09:27...

Interview - The Eleventy-Billionth Hokage
October 10, 2015 01:40 - 48 minutes - 44.7 MBThat's my potatoes? The man known as 11 is many things. He's a small-business owner, anime aficionado, online game developer, future Mahjong champion, and presumably world-famous detective or something. His passion project Billy vs. SNAKEMAN is a browser-based online role-playing game that parodies anime and anime culture in the west. It runs on old-school PHP and Perl scripting, and its deceptively simple introduction gives way to a surprising amount of depth with a stunning variety of mini...

Bad OkCupid Reviews [Explicit]
September 25, 2015 00:47 - 16 minutes - 15 MBOkCupid is a fairly popular dating site and mobile app, but not everyone has a positive experience. They say there's someone out there for everyone, so clearly that's reason enough for some folks to blame everybody but themselves for their loneliness. Laugh (or cringe) along with me as I enjoy some of the most outlandish and grammatically-challenged reviews on the OkCupid app in the Google Play store. Want to hear more hilari-awful reviews?

Game of Thrones - Session 1, Part 2 [Explicit]
September 20, 2015 12:00 - 29 minutes - 27.5 MBIn part two of our discussion, we get briefly sidetracked talking about plot development and character construction in between all the sex stuff. Plus, we're joined by Becca, and we talk about memes while eating like the professionals we are.
