    ESPN Presents... Jock Jams Vol. 1
    Nov 18 2025

    Remember this? For listeners of a certain age, this CD was the soundtrack to pep rallies and gym class and probably a whole litany of adolescent humiliations. But we're here to convince you to listen to it with an open mind to hear what you missed.

    Also in this episode, Ralph and Michael play basketball.

    Plus, we present our very own original Jock Jam.

  • Calling All Stations by Genesis

    Calling All Stations by Genesis
    Nov 4 2025

    Just imagine having to replace both Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel. That's exactly what Ray Wilson had to do when he got the lead vocalist gig in Genesis. And you know what? He nailed it.

    In this episode, Michael and Ralph make a case that Mike Rutherford and Tony Banks gave up on this incarnation of Genesis too soon. But it's not too late!

    Later, Ralph transforms "Alien Afternoon" into a "classic" prog song.

  • Venomous Villain by Viktor Vaughn (with S.H. Fernando, author of The Chronicles of DOOM)

    Venomous Villain by Viktor Vaughn (with S.H. Fernando, author of The Chronicles of DOOM)
    Oct 21 2025

    MF DOOM biographer S.H. Fernando is here to talk about that one DOOM project that you can't find on CD and people say isn't very good anyway. Truth is, it's fantastic.

    Listen in as we unpack the work ethic, pop-culture obsessions, and esoteric interests of hip-hop's greatest enigma, and dive into the DOOM project most deserving of a re-evaluation.

    Later, Ralph and Michael pay tribute to the "Doper Skiller" beat with an instrumental performance.


    The paperback edition of THE CHRONICLES OF DOOM is out this month. Don't miss it!

    Special thanks to Dub-L for his insight into the making of this album! Check out what he's been up to lately: https://www.dub-l.com
