  • Episode 211 - I'm Out There, Please Find Me
    Sep 17 2025

    In this episode, I talk about music from Sabrina Carpenter, Margo Price, David Byrne, and Yungblud, then I talk about Only Murders in the Building and the Trekkies documentaries (and just kinda Star Trek in general). I had fun. Now I demand that you do, too!

  • Episode 210 - I Can't Remember the Words that are Actually Words
    Sep 7 2025

    After almost a three week accidental hiatus, I'm back with a slightly weird and slightly short episode! In this one I backtrack to correct my thinking on the recent releases by Coheed & Cambria and HAIM, then I talk about Mastodon, the Struts, and a bunch of Oktoberfest beers. I had fun. Maybe you can too!

  • Episode 209 - They Don't Seem Like that Kind of Guys (or Fisher Stevens Scares Cats)
    Aug 20 2025

    In this episode, I talk about music from Murry Hammond, Hayes Carll, and The Wonder Years and then the movies The Phoenician Scheme, Throw Momma from the Train, and the TV show Columbo. I had a great time recording this one that I hope translates into your ears!
