  • Episode 8: An Evening With Beverly Luff Linn
    Kerouac and Shotgun Mike are back to discuss a cinematic masterpiece (even if I keep botching the title and Mike spoils one of the big moments) as we review An Evening With Beverly Luff Linn. It's a magical experience ...

  • Ep. 7: Pete and Ariana, The Wrong Earth issue 2 and An Evening With Beverly Luff Linn
    We found out Pete and Ariana broke up and had to react (yeah, it's a few days later, so what?) But really, we just wanted to talk about the latest issue of The Wrong Earth and the upcoming movie "An Evening With Beverly Luff Linn."

  • Shotgun Mike, The Wrong Earth and DNA relative matches
    It's been far too long, but I'm back (to the future?) Anyway, join Shotgun Mike Hostetler and I as we discuss the delay and what is coming up next. Check it out and come back to see what's next.

  • First Names Only with Thomas
    This week, I talk with Thomas in the Columbus Topiary Park (modeled after Georges Seurat’s A Sunday Afternoon on the Isle of La Grand Jatte). We discuss what it's like living on the streets, strange experiences at summer camp and more on a busy morning. Sorry for the random sounds. And thanks for sharing your story, Thomas.

  • First Names Only
    Hey, I'm still around! Got sidetracked a bit with the flu and another podcast project, but KTTF returns with a new segment called First Names Only. I talk to one of the denizens of the local library, who holes up there during the day because there's not a lot of options for him. Jeremy's an interesting guy, but not a lot of people would ever bother to hear his story.

  • A Rom-ote guest
    It's just me in the basement this week, so I called my old friend Rom and we discussed museum mishaps, abandoned insurgencies and a surreal dining experience.

  • Kerouac to the Future

    Hello, folks. This week, it's just Will and Kerouac -- Alan ditched us for a movie. We talk about a reverse microwave and this week's opening movies. Also, I played around with some music -- adding an intro and an underscore to the whole thing.

    Hope you like it.
