This week, Nate talks to poet, podcaster, and self-identified Shan Stan, Mike Gravagno about that lovely, lyrical, musical, non-lucrative, but pervasive, "anybody can do it but CAN anyone do it?" art that is POETRY. We talk about poems that means something to us, why we write poetry, and why we think it's important. Don't worry, it's only pretentious for a minute or two! ;)

This week, voice over artist and stupendous human being, Marcus Freeman, joins Nate for a conversation on Video Games. We talk about them as a balm during uncertain times, discuss Super Mario 3, Doki Doki Panic, Call of Duty Modern Warfare, The Outer Worlds, Final Fantasy VII, Souls and Sekiro, Battletoads, TMNT, and more. Plus, a game Nate wished existed, and the game that Nate and Marcus are looking forward to that coming out soon. We have a vague idea about video games!

This week, Nate (No Shannon, this week, but she will be back!) welcomes author Pam Jones (Andermatt County: Two Parables, Ivy Day, The Joyful Mysteries) to have a frank and vague conversation of Faith. We're talking about Catholic Mysticism, Judaism, Buddhism, Protestantism, Evangelical Christianity, Televangelism, the Holy Spirit, Grace, and the true American Faith: Consumption via the Almighty Dollar. Do we have a vague idea what we're talking about? Probably! Check out the show and then feel free to correct us on social media!

This week we talk about the Netflix documentary Circus of Books, 90 Day Fiance, and some wilderness reality TV. Plus, we talk about free speech and what it looks like in an era where anyone can make a website that substantiates anything and everything! It's another episode in quarantine that's hot, fresh, and ready right when you pull up to the curb!

Hey, new challenge, if you review us with 5 stars you can talk shit about us in a roasting way in the review and we'll read it on the show!!! Doesn't that sound fun?

Nate, Shannon, and guest Alyssa B watched the Netflix reality temp-abstinence series Too Hot To Handle so you don't have to, but you probably still could because what else are you going to do, right!? We talk about the beloved Chloe, the much less beloved Bryce, the snotty Francesca, the stern Kelz, and even the "we've seen him already as a contestant on America's Next Top Model" Matthew. It's a show about people want to get down but aren't supposed to so they win a prize, and we're thrilled to talk about it! So, grab your two-sizes too small bathing suit, arrange your underboob, and grease your pecs!!

Our theme song was written and performed by the amazing Michael J. O'Connor. Listen to his music at michaeljoconnor.bandcamp.com.

This week, Nate and Shannon talk via Zoom (sorry about the audio) about a show that's near and dear to them... the late-'90s to early-'00s high school horror comedy drama program starring Sarah Michelle Gellar, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. We've each picked 5 important episodes to talk about... and then we end up talking about many more. Join us for a first survey of a venerable television experience... with vampires, demons and the forces of darkness. Grab your crosses and get down to the Bronze, there's a free Dingoes Ate My Baby show at the high-school-kids-only venue for some reason!
