  • EC Update 5-31-23.m4a
    Very brief update from inside my very hot car to yell you that I'm aware that a new episode didn't go up yet this week, but I'm still planning on doing one. So...that.

  • Episode 153 - I Wanna Run Around and Hit a Guy with a Sword Until He Dies

    In this episode, I get mad about gaming (and I REALLY get there!), happy about the Muppets, happy about music, and very happy about the achievements of a friend. Meanwhile, Jonco the cat goes mad with power (and a cardboard box). It's a fun episode! I do a lot of cussing! Dig it!

  • Episode 151 - Coxnoxeges? Tasty Sacks?

    ...boy you can really hear my fridge running in this episode. Ah well...

    In this week's episode, I talk about the last couple of years of Doctor Who with particular focus on Jodie Whittaker's final episode. Then I get into music and talk about the recent releases from Paramore, Feist, The Hold Steady, Manchester Orchestra, and Metallica. And I close out the show by begging for money. So there's a little bit of everything. Enjoy!

  • Episode 150 - Third Act Problems

    In this episode, I play my new album "Third Act Problems" and talk over it the whole time, in a madcap ruse to try to frustrate you into downloading it. (Or...y'know...think of it as a commentary track.) That's pretty much it. You'll enjoy it or you won't. That's up to you. I'm not responsible for your mood.

    Thanks for listening!
