Doomed Planet

#062: After a severe bout of COVID-19 Lisa Steadman returned home from the hospital to find her husband dead (of COVID) and decomposing. Did their chihuahuas start eating him? And why were they unvaccinated? A peek into the world (or at least Facebook page) of a right wing fundamentalist Trump CHUD with a crippled sense of self-awareness and no understanding of privacy, class consciousness or science.

#061: It's hard to do a monthly obituary podcast when nobody is dying on you, except for Jackie Mason and Dusty Hill - the guy from ZZ Top. Perhaps we'll have better luck in August. Know somebody who kicked it recently? Contact us! [email protected]

#060: Car Dealer Billy Fuccillo (January 9, 1956 – June 17, 2021) had a slogan for his TV commercials: "it's huge!" His carbon footprint was also huge.

#058: Vicky Cornell has turned the estate of her rock star husband into a lucrative cash cow. A brutal, hard-boiled look at the life, death and afterlife of Chris Cornell: handsome Seattle rock god, brilliant singer and songwriter, competent guitar player and multi-millionaire ... bad chooser of trophy wives.

UPDATE: Thanks Jason Ridgen for pointing out that using Soundgarden's copyrighted music is verboten. We took out Soundgarden and added the public domain song Suicide Blues (1924) by Maggie Jones.

#057: Ruminations on the demise of artists Edward Gorey and Charles Schulz, wine critic Tom Stockley and young person Jeff Tilroe. Plus: my Joe Rogan alcohol poisoning experience, the bad art of war criminal G. W. Bush and Chelsea Clinton's punk rock band. "Death is an important part of our existence. If people lived forever a bunch of 10,000 year old dicks would be running things."

#056: Communist Teen discusses recent celebrity deaths including "neolib creep" Larry King, "immoral casino gangster and Republican" Sheldon Adelson, "capitalist psychopath" Phil Spector and Hank Aaron: "kids today don't care about sports, especially baseball."

#055: Swarms of biting insects, oppressive heat and humidity, over 100,000 mostly white, conservative retirees who drink, drug and drive around in golf carts ... welcome to The Villages!

COVID-19 has run rampant in this Florida retirement community full of anti-maskers. "Villagers" voted overwhelmingly for Trump in 2020.

"If you name each of the groups least likely to wear a mask, the result roughly correlates with the average Trump voter," according to The New Yorker (1-4-21). What could go wrong?

#054: A look back at the Seattle junkies, boozers, scam-artists, arsonists, racists, pornographers and tech villains that we profiled in Season 1.

Look for Season 2 to drop on 01 01 2021. We're steering this ship away from crime and towards a new direction: all obituaries!

Season 2 of the Doomed Planet podcast is gonna be all about obituaries!

We'll premiere on January 1, 2021 UNLESS the lame duck President of the United States dies before then. If that happens, we'll publish our first episode within hours. Join us for the thrill ride as we navigate the deadly roaring 2020s!

#052: Final episode of season 1! We talk Bezos with Greg from the Seattle Sucks podcast. "Amazon's business model has always been monopolization. And by being a Wall Street guy Jeff Bezos was able to pitch that concept. Investing in a monopolistic behemoth. Over the years Bezos was able to amass more and more capital to create a cartel. It's the dream of anybody on Wall Street. They poured money into Amazon and crushed the competition with the power of that capital."
