Undressing Underground/Platonic Polyamory
151 episodes - English - Latest episode: about 1 month ago - ★★★★★ - 7 ratingsA new series for an older podcast feed than yours. Started as a way to talk to people making weird shit on the fringes of the underground, then splitting time with a series of interviews with Gawker commenters, then just weird Christmas music and audio experiments, then interviews with LGBTQIA and POC artists about their feelings about the Trump presidency, then the obscenely pointless series "We Are Podcasting in a Room", and now Platonic Polyamory cohosts Rob Marvin, Jennifer C. Martin, and Brandon Dumais continue the original mission. Sort of.

Episodes
WAPIAR - E13 - Rat Race
August 05, 2021 02:22 - 1 hour - 147 MBWe raced each other to see who could read our own parts first. Mostly we talked about cancel culture and capitalism. Brandon's got a cool mic. I talk over Jennifer a lot but try to give her room to speak.
WAPIAR - E12 - Speaking of William S Burroughs...
July 23, 2021 03:00 - 1 hour - 127 MBI was hospitalized and am still sick, so that's why this is late. Sorry to the recurring 5 listeners.
WAPIAR - E11 - William S Burroughs
July 07, 2021 02:34 - 50 minutes - 95.2 MBI've got nothing else to say. You know more or less what this show is now if you've heard any other episode.
WAPIAR - E10 - Irreversible
June 23, 2021 23:40 - 1 hour - 123 MBThe gang reads a bunch of words off a page.
WAPIAR - E9 - Leon's Getting Larger
June 08, 2021 23:22 - 1 hour - 143 MBHey, we're back! This time I'm Jennifer, Jennifer's Brandon, and Brandon's me! Hoorah! Apparently most people that listen to this don't realize that it's the same episode every time. So, yes, this is our 8th time reading the transcription I wrote of the first episode, which was not scripted. Enjoy. Or don't. We talk about some other stuff too. Still not sure where this is going, but it's going there. All the way. Baby. Driver. Let's have a panic attack together.
WAPIAR - E8 - I had to rearrange their faces and give them all another name
May 23, 2021 01:49 - 51 minutes - 96.5 MBSorry for the delay, I've been busy. We may just do two weeks from today now. I dunno. This episode Jennifer is Rob, Brandon is Jennifer, and Rob is Brandon. Next week, more inanity. I meant to do a Peter & the Wolf intro, because all podcasts are obligated to do that at least once, but I didn't. Sorry.
WAPIAR - Episode 7 or 8 - CANCELLED
May 03, 2021 02:29 - 1 hour - 147 MBI dunno I'm still high. We all got high. Went about as you'd expect. Also listened to a lot allegedly royalty free future funk that's present through most of this so sue the YouTube, not me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVOH00wVFbc&t=3035s if you wanna check it out without us. It's very upbeat and nice. There was a song sorta like that on the new of Montreal album. I know it's not cool to like of Montreal anymore I guess? Or is it? Every time I go to their shows I feel like an adult chape...
WAPIAR - E6 - The One Where the Gang Gets Drunk and Forgets How to Read
April 18, 2021 21:13 - 1 hour - 65.3 MBBy far the most belligerent (and thus longest) attempt yet. I still feel like crap from how much I drank. Some of Jennifer's lines take new meaning this week. Stay tuned for more of the same in two weeks. READ Jennifer's new story, DEAD BLACK LINGERIE over at Olney Magazine in the link below. https://www.olneymagazine.com/features/dead-black-lingerie
WAPIAR - E5 - Lent
March 31, 2021 23:32 - 42 minutes - 84.8 MBIt's lent. We're bored and sober. Brandon performs mukbang. If there's no links here, it's because I didn't come back to add them after making dinner. Look at the old episodes for links. It's Bandcamp Friday this week, so buy Brandon and my stuff.
WAPIAR - E4 - FUCK
March 22, 2021 01:11 - 49 minutes - 97.5 MBOh boy, oh geez. Rob smokes 3 different kinds of weed in the first 10 minutes (he's a light weight as is), Brandon attempts to drink every time one of us says "like" and then proceeds to get very hammered fast, and Jennifer has a game running on her phone or something that fucks up her internet for most of the episode. Also people interrupt Brandon and Jennifer but we roll on. Good stuff. Everything unravels further. READ Jennifer: http://dirtbagchristian.substack.com LISTEN to Brandon: ht...
WAPIAR - E3 - Third Time's a Charm!
March 04, 2021 02:17 - 44 minutes - 108 MBBrandon and Rob begin disassociating and Jennifer keeps the whole thing moving.

Cease & Desistmas 2020
December 20, 2020 19:42 - 1 hour - 129 MBWe're back! Albeit with worse audio than ever because I didn't realize how horrible Skype's call recording is. So, there's that. But there's also music SAMPLES used with FAIR USE so please don't CEASE AND DESIST ME. We'll do better next year. I'm already investing in it. We may even do full songs again since I didn't realize you could do that with this weird free Spotify platform thing. Anyway, see you next year or on the next Zech's Lost Phones. Also, keep an eye out for older episode poppi...
Episode 78 - Feliz Navidad
December 25, 2018 16:43 - 31 minutes - 28.8 MBHappy Holidays! A quick episode with my friend Ileana about some Christmas traditions in Mexico that I didn't know about and I'm guessing you didn't either. I have some more things planned for the future, but we know how that goes. But if you or anyone you know would like to talk, please reach out to me by email at rob at undressingunderground dot com or on twitter @cannedricewater.

Episode 21 - Osa Atoe
September 21, 2017 16:11Today on the show is Osa Atoe, the brilliant mind behind Shotgun Seamstress! This was a pretty big interview for me and I was really excited to have her on, so of course I fucked it up. She did great though, and I hopefully did ok. It's fine, don't worry. We talk about her zines, the fascinating people she discusses and talks to in said zines, her music, and we both sort of try to define what 'punk' is and whether it can exist in an academic setting. Stick around until the end to hear abou...
Episode 77 - 2nd Anniversary/Lost Puppies
May 03, 2017 14:46 - 35 minutes - 19 MBThis is the second anniversary episode. I'm still working everyday, so I didn't have the time to do anything for it this year... So, here's my friend's latest lo-fi, sludgy, pop-rock album, Lost Puppies. His band is called Lost Puppies, too. I hope you like it. I do. You can hear more Lost Puppies at http://lostpuppies.bandcamp.com There's about 6 other albums there, all good, and all with unintelligible lyrics. They're all free, but I would suggest kicking him at least $5. He's not going to...

April 11, 2017 02:01 - 57 minutes - 30.6 MBToday Sara Century finally finishes off our series of talks with artists and critics about their plans and feelings going forward in our current cultural climate. We’re sorry about the delay, but between the two of us we’re suddenly working like 150 hours/week after months of a combined 0 hours/week.

They discuss his work and politics, how they intersect, and how they will continue to moving forward. Katie herself has a loaded history of volunteering and working on campaigns (both of us having quit full time jobs to work on campaigns this past fall), so we talk about that a little at the front.If you'd ...

December 18, 2016 23:11 - 43.3 MBOn today’s episode I have the man, the myth, the Czech, Harmy! If you’re not familiar with Harmy, you should be, because he’s the only reason you’ll EVER* be able to see the original Star Wars films in HD and on Blu Ray. That’s right, we’ve got the Harmy responsible for the Star Wars Despecialized Editions. I probably shouldn’t link to them, but if you look up “despecialized” on The Pirate Bay you’ll probably find them. Check out the blog for my talk last week with Star Wars Fan Editors TVs F...

Episode 13 - Rev. Gary
December 18, 2016 22:46First up, sorry about my voice and any other shoddy work this week! I’ve been sick and my vocal chords. My chat with Rev. Gary sounds fine, though. That said, today on the show is Rev. Gary! Right now he’s basically the spokesperson of the church, so... we talk about that. We learn about his background, how he got into Dudeism, and whether or not the Big Lebowski is one of his favorite movies(???). Also! Stick around until the end for a new installment of T. Time!

Episode 58 - Brandon Dumais
December 06, 2016 19:04 - 1 hour - 47.8 MBToday on the show is Brandon Dumais! If you know how to say it, you're a good person. On top of forgetting how to say his name, I just remembered I forgot to have him remind me how he can be 2/3rd Thai. Brandon does a lot of things, almost none of which you can find online because he's basically computer illiterate. He's a poet, co-creator of the Remedial Art Class zine, sk8er boi (his preferred nomenclature), noise musician, and guest on this podcast. I'll help him get his zine online eventu...

Episode 67 - Jon Seidman's Book Sucks
June 14, 2016 10:00We're back! And with another total fucking loser, little Mr. Jon Seidman! Seidman asked to come on the show and talk about failure, but then failed at fucking that, too. So, I just berate him and try to force him to be even moderately self-aware... and fail. Because I, too, am a failure. The sound's also blown out a lot of the time cause I'm lazy. I'll worry about quality when I have a quality guest on, which should be every upcoming episode over the next couple months. No more of this bull...

May 17, 2016 01:32Brandon Dumais is back! Back for part two of the Miserable Failures series. He leaves me 15 voicemails over the course of half an hour, in which he tries to recap all of Alice in Wonderland from memory while getting more and more drunk. Then we talk for another hour while getting more and more drunk. We're both miserable failures, so we bond over that. It's miserable. He talks about being institutionalized (sectioned), I talk about institutionalizing (sectioning) someone else and a date ...

Features performances by Sean Abbott and Jufu Haopimjai and kinda Jeff Weiner and some writing by Joshua Martin and other stuff done by Jill Hackney. Good ‘nuff. For you people, at least. ...
Episode 63 - A bunch of failures
March 23, 2016 03:22Today’s episode is late because I’m a failure. So, I talked to some of my friends about being failures. Also, how not to be failures. But mostly about being failures.

Episode 61 - wosX
February 23, 2016 11:00Back from an unplanned break with vaporwave documentarian and hardvapour pioneer, wosX. He tries to explain to me what vaporwave is, what it can be, what it shouldn't be, and why it matters at all, I guess. Seriously, what the fuck is vaporwave? You can check out wosX's short documentary, Vaporwave: A Brief History, if you're still as confused as I am. I guess none of this matters anyway since vaporwave is dead. All the vapor and vapor-adjacent music featured in this episode: Analog De...
Episode 60 - Jeanette Lynne's Philly Mix

Episode 59 - Zac & Me & Blerg & Me
February 02, 2016 15:57Blerg & Me drank while listening to the Zack & Me episode. I told him to pick the worst episode, but apparently he likes this one. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Blerg sorta interviews me. We also talk about the differences between the Australian and American medias again. It’s all very problematic. That’s about it. Real episode next week, hopefully. Our drunken Netflix podcast coming… maybe soon-ish. Maybe Kittens will post something this week? http://undressingunderground.com

January 14, 2016 17:45This is Part 2 of 2 of Laura Squirrel’s Night at the 5th.

Episode 57 - Phineas Narco
January 12, 2016 19:06This interview is almost a month old and I recorded the intro a few hours before David Bowie's death was announced, so there's nothing about that. Maybe next week. Anyway, today I talked to Phineas Narco! Phineas is best known these days for the National Cynical Network, which the website boasts is "A Latent Einstein Outreach Ministry by Phineas Narco of the Church of the Subgenius." We talk about the history of the National Cynical Network, the Church of the Subgenius, his Midnight Voicej...

You may have heard of Bryan Lewis Saunders a few years back when the internet suddenly became aware of his mission to create at least one self portrait a day for the rest of his life. Or, more specifically, a strange overblown period in which he created 50-60 self-portraits under the influence of different drug...

November 20, 2015 18:00 - 47 minutes - 27 MBOriginal Description: November 17: Seven longtime Gawker writers are suddenly let go, so that Gawker can retool as a Politics Site (as per Denton’s mouth piece former Gawker editor Ravi Somaiya via the New York Times). Gawker’s new focus will emphasize the 2016 election, though plans for thereafter have not been addressed. As of now, the consensus seems to be a bit of shock and some reluctance. Do we need another political blog? (Many say no) So what best way to discuss the biannual Gawker...
