About this listen

 Imagine this: two middle-aged guys, best buds for a whopping forty years, sitting in the heart of Arizona's sunbaked landscape. They're not just discussing the weather or reminiscing about the good ol' days—no, they're diving deep into the rich world of music, movies, and (what they think) is pop culture. And, you're invited to listen in! This is the podcast where genres clash, opinions fly, and laughter is inevitable. Each episode is a rollercoaster ride of incessant ramblings, with a sprinkle of desert dust.

Our hosts, Ken and Doc, have seen it all—from the rock inferno of the '70s to the synth-wave and heavy metal of the '80s, right up to today's music chart-toppers.

But it's not all about the tunes. These guys are film buffs, dissecting everything from indie horror flicks to blockbuster bangers. And let's not forget their musings about living in Arizona, where they share the quirks of life in the Grand Canyon State—from scorpion encounters to Southwest history. They've got stories that'll make you laugh until you cry and insights that'll make you see your old favorites in a new light.

So, grab your headphones and a cold one, find a cozy spot under the shade of a saguaro, and tune in to the "Beyond the Rabbit Hole" It's more than a podcast—it's forty years of friendship, set to the soundtrack of life.Copyright Ken and Doc Music Social Sciences

    Ken and Doc's 2025 Post-Halloween Doohickey!
    Dec 22 2025
    🎙️ Special Episode: “Ken and Doc’s 2025 Post-Halloween Doohickey”
    Stranded in the no-man’s-land between Thanksgiving leftovers and premature Christmas jingles, Ken and Doc return with a chaotic holiday special that defies categorization—and possibly logic.
    Ken opens the show mid-swat, locked in a losing battle against a swarm of angry mosquitoes that somehow survived the dry Arizona summer. His monologue involving cintronella-scented candles is a "sound" to behold.

    Meanwhile, Doc recounts his Halloween night odyssey: a traffic jam so cursed it could only be described as the “Highway of Horrors.” Between closed freeways, crazed drivers, and the stink of food simmering in the car, Doc’s tale spins into a fever dream of festive chaos. Together, they spiral down the rabbit hole of post-Halloween weirdness. 🎧 Tune in for unhinged storytelling.

    Season three arriving soon!

  • S2 E10: James Garfield - The Lightning President!

    S2 E10: James Garfield - The Lightning President!
    Nov 24 2025
    In this electrifying season finale of the Beyond the Rabbit Hole podcast, Ken dives deep into the life and legacy of President James A. Garfield, the 20th U.S. president whose brief tenure was cut tragically short by an assassin’s bullet—and a medical disaster that followed. But this isn’t your average history lesson.

    Ken kicks things off with a passionate review of the docudrama series “Death by Lightning”, which dramatizes Garfield’s meteoric rise from log cabin scholar to Civil War general to reluctant president. He breaks down the series’ strengths—its gritty realism, sharp performances, and haunting portrayal of the political chaos of 1881.

    Just as Ken begins unpacking the medical malpractice that arguably doomed Garfield more than the bullet itself, Doc bursts in with absurdist flair. The episode balances historical depth with playful absurdity, as Doc’s tangents lead to unexpected insights—like who (or what) was behind Garfield’s shooting.

    Meanwhile, Doc faces his own animal uprising out at The Ponderosa, where a feral feline throws down with the pups in a showdown worthy of a spaghetti western. Between nose-nipping dogs and claw-swinging cats, this episode is a masterclass in turning pet pandemonium into podcast gold. 🐾 Explosions, exhaustion, and animal antics—what more could you want?
