Faking It Podcast with Gabe and Mark

FAKING IT IS BACK!! In this Season 2 preview, Gabe and Mark discuss all of the new things you can look forward to from us in the coming months. And that means, first and foremost, lots of guests. Who are they? Listen and find out.

In this, our FINAL EPISODE OF SEASON 1, we explore Mark's avoidance of the classic sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, a cultural touchstone for millions. But not Mark. Why has he led people to believe he knows anything at all about The Fresh Prince. Listen and find out!

(Note: previously, we accidentally uploaded an incomplete version of the episode. This is the real one. Sorry about that!)

In this episode of Faking It, we explore Gabe's avoidant attitude toward Herman Melville's classic novel Moby-Dick. Gabe pursues this beast of book through the dark waters of deception and dissimulation, finally slaying the beast and, hey, we all learn a little something on the way. Production note: the sound is a little weird on this one. We're aware of it. We're working on it. Sorry about that! Episode edited by Eavvon O'Neal. Theme by Mark.

Mark’s had his time with Tom Waits, but Gabe has spent his entire life misleading and prevaricating about America’s favorite faux-homeless singer-songwriter. Your hosts dig into the pros and cons, the highs and lows (mostly lows) of this dusty-ass icon.

Mark trolls his students with his lack of knowledge about the animated film Finding Nemo, while we delve into Gabe’s uncertain, Rashomon-like relationship to this Pixar classic. Distinguished critic and journalist Christine Smallwood (and also Gabe's wife) drops in to take us deeper into the labyrinth of Gabe's extremely bizarre relationship to this movie. Edited by Eavvon O'Neal. Theme by Mark.

In the debut episode of Faking It, Gabe and Mark come to terms with the egregious lies they’ve told about Liz Phair’s landmark 1993 album Exile in Guyville. They’ve had 25 years to listen to it, and somehow they’ve managed not to. And, worse, they’ve felt compelled to suggest, imply, or otherwise flat out lie about their knowledge of this masterpiece. Listen as Gabe and Mark recount their failings, do their homework, and perform some truly epic self-flagellation.
