Dystopia Now episodes

  • Casual encounters
    Hey wackos, my improv pals ditched me this week, so I had to hit up Craigslist to find some emergency replacements. Good news, though ... I found Shotgun Mike!

  • The Cointelbro crossover
    Barack Lesnar (of the CointelBro podcast) and I picked up a bunch of new listeners and take a minute to welcome them to our shows. One of our good friends also joins us to talk tattoos, ancient aliens and what to expect now that you are here. Thanks for checking it out.

  • The two dozenth spectacular
    People, this is a historic day. Four guests, three first-timers, two trailblazers and one happy host. We've now officially done dozens of shows, which is better than tens of shows. It's another improv episode, where we dig into names, delis, love, figure skating and a Game of Thrones support group. Thanks to Barack Lesnar (of the CointelBro podcast), Bethany, Marisa and James.

  • The Alphabet Empire
    We're back with more improv practice. Kerouac is joined by returning champion J.D. and challenger James for some practice outside of class. We welcome new recruits to the Alphabet Empire, take Blue Thunder out for a spin, visit an after-hours animatronics exhibit and work on a pyramid ... system? As always, feel free to follow @kerouacsmith on the Twitter.

  • Improv is hard
    We're trying something new. Kerouac has a couple of his improv classmates join him and Shotgun Mike to play around and try some practice outside of class. There are a ton of great improv podcasts out there ... listen to this one so you can see how talented those professionals are. As always, feel free to follow @kerouacsmith and @shotgunmikeh on the Twitter.

  • End Game, GoT and too much content
    Avengers: End Game! Game of Thrones! I Think You Should Leave Now, The Kominsky Method and ... Death Wish III? There's so much good content out there, we made some bad content to celebrate it. @kerouacsmith and @shotgunmikeh talk about all of this and a certain other podcast's 10th anniversary. Don't worry, it's bad but at least it's not 10 hours long.

  • You Autocomplete Me
    This time, we try playing a dumb game @kerouacsmith made up, then start talking about our latest binges. See what's in the @shotgunmikeh search history, if you dare! Unfortunately, we end on a downer as the right wingers in Ohio once again try to shut down bodily autonomy for women.

  • Welcome to the coma-verse
    Welcome to our latest disaster. Kerouac (@kerouacsmith) and Mike (@shotgunmikeh) try to tackle the release of the Mueller report, but as usual, it devolves into madness. At least now we have an idea why ... and we think some of you might, too. Come say hi on Twitter so we know you are real.

  • Elemini: Mythic creatures
    It's a 'mini episode ...
    @kerouacsmith hangs out with an alien posing as a human child to talk about their trip to central Ohio's awesome hands on science center -- COSI. Back with a full episode soon.
