  • Edington + our favorite Taylor Swift era S4E28
    Dec 16 2025

    Because no one asked for it, we, once again, revisit and discuss, "Edington" (not sure if it's spelled correctly, but too lazy to look it up).

    Anyways, our all father, god creator extraordinaire, the OG, Jason Asenap graces us with his presence to talk about Edington.

    Just like the mighty Cicada, Jason shows up every seven years and whips out his Tymbal to sing his shrilling chorus. Your ears will be blessed to hear such a song.

    Also, we meander a bit and talk about the lovely power couple, Ramona Emerson and Kelly Byars -- and lavish them with words of love. Turns out they’re working on a documentary right now . we didn’t know at the time of the recording so keep your eyes up for that .

    And as an added bonus, because all enquiring minds want to know, we discuss our favorite Taylor Swift era.


    So, turn on, tune in and drop out.


    The muzak is:

    "Leavin' u wuz ez but lovin' u is hard" by Chahta Vba Isht Taloa Cocophony Broken Consort


    Until the Gregorian calendar becomes measured by the eras of Taylor Swift, we won't just keep it real, we'll keep it


    REEL INDIGENOUS!
