  • Ep. 18: Captain Marvel and International Women's Day
    What happens when two middle-aged dudes try to celebrate a day that's not about them? This ... 
    @kerouacsmith and @shotgunmikeh talk the latest Marvel blockbuster and touch on several subjects they are clearly unqualified to weigh in on. It may be sub-par, but know their hearts are in the right place.

  • Ep. 17: Wiki-Wiki-What?
    What happens when someone buys us a bottle of Patron and gives us a topic? This ... 
    Anyway, we go down a few rabbit holes and have some fun in the process. I never even said the name of the show, but hopefully you know what it is.

  • Ep. 16: Abortion, AOC and alcohol
    We were going to talk about comics and superhero movies, but then we started drinking something called Insane Wanderer and wound up talking about abortion protesters and the double standard Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez faces every day. Pour a beer and join us.

  • Ep. 15: New Year's Eve and Bandersnatch
    We did it, people. We made it through another year. At least I think we did ... Bandersnatch has me questioning reality at this point. Join Kerouac and Mike for their first podcast of the New Year (or our final one of last year, if you go by when we recorded .... it's all very confusing). Buckle up for the ride in 2019 and hit us up on Twitter (@kerouacsmith and @shotgunmikeh) to join the fun.

  • Ep. 14: Holiday agita
    I'm no fun to be around during the holidays, but I'm working on it. So I brought in someone who used to work for Santa himself to help get me in the holiday mood. Turns out things up north aren't as jolly as the myth would suggest .... Tweet us at @kerouacsmith or @shotgunmikeh and let us know what you think,

  • Ep. 13: A super-powered individual drops by
    Man, this was the most fun we've had on the podcast and our strangest guest yet ... and Kerouac was late for the interview! That's OK, though. Shotgun Mike asked the hard-hitting questions of our dubious do-gooder. Check it out and let us know what you think! Tweet us at  @kerouacsmith or @shotgunmikeh

  • Ep. 12: Avengers: Endgame (Open House pt. 2)
    Oh buddy, this one went all over the place ... but Kerouac and Shotgun Mike do talk about the trailer before going off on tangents while waiting in vain for somebody to jump in and join the fun. Oh well, we were able to poach some beer and have fun. We'll be back to our irregular programming soon enough.

  • Ep. 11: Harmony Project/Open House pt. 1
    I sat down with two of the performers from the Harmony Project's winter concert -- Sing Out, March On -- during an open house at our recording space at Studios on 5th. Radley and Mike tell me all about the experience and what they get out of it. Part 2 should be out on Tuesday, Dec. 11 where Shotgun Mike and I revel in the Avengers: Endgame trailer release.

  • The first Elemini
    What the heck is an Elemini? The shortened runtime should be the first clue ... 
    Just Kerouac today, laying the groundwork for the week ahead and explaining the origin of a species no mad scientists will make for me. Plus, I answer a Twitter question and tell you what to watch now that Netflix is cancelling its Marvel shows. Hope you like it.

  • Episode 10: Gotta have a niche
    Kerouac and Mike get together after Thanksgiving to talk about how the best podcasts have niches (and how this one doesn't.) Come along for a rambling ride through Hot Chicken, wars, movies, Spartacus, Eminem, M&Ms and more. Tweet us your niche so we can see what it's all about.
