August 25, 2026Episode 236 - Article Implied
In this slightly delayed episode, I start by yelling at you about being frustrated with cover bands for a little bit...then I review new music by Punch Brothers, The Mountain Goats, New Pornographers, Joe Jackson, and Metric. This episode goes a lot of places. Maybe you'll like some of those places. No way to tell until you click it.

July 11, 2026 Episode 234 - Recording, Putting Stuff on My Laptop, and Thinking About Sammy Hagar...
In this episode, I don't bother with segments and end up just ranting about Sammy Hagar, the government, my new laptop, and recording music. Why weren't there segments? Laziness. Why were those the topics? Shut up.
Enjoy!

July 01, 2026Episode 233 - My 13 Favorite Mel Brooks Movies
In this episode, I talk a lot about Mel Brooks and rank his 13 theatrically released movies, all in celebration of the Melcentennial--Mel Brooks' 100th birthday! I had a lot of fun with this one--and at one point or another, I felt EVERY emotion. I think it's a good listen. Now it's your turn to listen and agree!
