Episode #228 - Brooks Wheelan

We withdrew some philosophy and punk rock on our last episode of 2024 and Season 4 with Nikki and Ben of the badass Brooklyn band BODEGA.

We finally got to bother comedian Brooks Wheelan! He is a huge music fan and has a hilarious new special out called Alive in Alaska. Watch that. Listen to this. Believe in your dreams.

Skanking back into the mind of our friend Aaron Carnes to talk about gods, video games, the new edition of his incredible book "In Defense of Ska"...and so much more!

Ellory Smith is a comedian and an Emmy nominated writer that went from being a friend-of-a-friend to just a solid friend. Listen to real friends talking about music and so much more, because everyone should have an Ellory Smith in their life! 

Sometimes a band comes along at the right time and just takes over your airwaves (and your heart)...that is what Ok Cowgirl did to us, so of course we had to get frontwoman (and driving force) Leah Lavigne on the pod! 

Hilarious hijinks with our new best friend Utkarsh Ambudkar, the rapper/actor/daydream believer, who saved us from the dark sea!

Our episode with Little Hag bites down hard on your brain and doesn't let go, with infectious energy, unabashed audacity and a penchant for the uncomfortable and taboo.

Our favorite guys, Jake and Jeff, of our favorite band, Illiterate Light, are back with our favorite episode! Jump on the sugar train, baby, because of course this one is a banger...just like their new album, ARCHES!

Fresh off the release of their new album Magpie, we bother Neil and Chris of Peach Pit—who's been on our get-list forever—about book fairs, Brad Pitt, magnets and pie, of course.

Guys and ghouls, we have a spooktacular Halloween episode with our friend, the TV Guidance Counselor himself, Mr. Ken Reid! The Comedian, Podcaster, and Adult Survivor of Childhood loves horror movies, bronze age comic books, TV, punk rock, pie and pre-Millenium Popular Culture. You'll like him!
