Flagged for Content

Dreams really do come true, y’all. This week, the sparks fly as I sit down with Flags for Good founder, occasional Ted Talker, and fellow Carly Rae Jepsen fan Michael Green to cut to the feeling of why we love flags so much in the first place, and why we still strive to make them better. From Maine to California, FFG’s “Better State Flags” series is giving hope to Seals On Bedsheets everywhere, and Michael explains his thought processes both in design and in pushing forward his movement. I think you’ll really, really, really, really, really, really like this one, especially if you check out the SHOW NOTES to give it that extra kick.

Alright settle down, you pranksters, there’s absolutely nothing funny about this episode. Or, in any case, that’s certainly not why I invited two comedians on the show to talk about some local flags, mostly from Russia. OK—maybe it is, but we definitely didn’t get into just WHY that bull reminds us so much of Carl from Aqua Teen. Or why this leopard is about to meet his maker. You know what? Just listen for yourself. Our sins are our own, and only the Perm Bear can save us now.

You there! Yes, you, with the ears! Can I interest you in a flag today? You can put this on anything your heart desires. Socks? Koozies? More stickers than a podcast host’s car? Just say the word and I… I’ll… whoa, must’ve gotten caught up in the pure marketability of this episode’s flags. You’ll forgive me if I get caught up chatting with guest Curtis Tarver about these stunners, and also for getting swept up in the capitalism of it all and trying to sweet-talk my way into sponsors. CHECK THE SHOW NOTES for your own sake. I condensed them!

Attention travelers: We are now boarding all groups for Flight 11 to Flagland! Cringey intros aside, I talked to Brandon Anderson this week about his work at the Denver Airport and the sweet flag planes that call it home. Plus, we talk about some vampire hatchlings that need their blood. I included a Google Drive link in the show notes with all his photos, and as always, you’ll definitely want to check the show notes and Instagram for this one.

Welcome back, Flag Warriors, we’ll let you behind the lines without the pass-word just this once. I sat down with the Army veteran and flag enthusiast known only as Eric this week and bombarded him with info on an (in)famous wartime flag. He responded with a counter-battery of stories about flags taken during battle, the ultimate sign of defeat. Then near the end, we go on leave in Paris to check out all the captured flags of Les Invalides. You’ll absolutely want to check the show notes and Instagram for this one, y’all.

Is there a limit to how ridiculous a flag can be before it folds in on itself? A limit to how many Chicken-Dragon Wings a horse can carry? Maybe even one to how many times you can thank someone for being on your show? In this episode, Kevin the Bastard (Supernatural Selection) and I test all the limits (including maybe decency) while riffing through some of the most bizarre creatures doing the wildest stuff on some under-the-radar but over-the-top flags out there. DO NOT MISS the show notes, or the Instagram post on this one, folks.

Psst… Hey y’all, I’ve got returning guest Ian Sharp (Boomer Memes Podcast) back with me this week to clown on our neighbors and ourselves here in Tennessee. We’ll see that just because you’ve lost a war doesn’t mean you have to change your flag too much if your little feelings are hurt. We take a look at the four most obvious throwbacks to the bad ol’ days and how they’ve changed both for better and for worse. Plus, a new logo and I forget to do my opening “only podcast” bit. Thanks for listening!

With so many flags in the world, they can’t all be winners. I'm back again this week to ramble on with Doug Wells about some flags that only a mother could love. From designers that didn’t know where to start to those who just didn’t know when to quit, we traipse around some of the world’s most boring and bizarre flags in style. Plus, someone gave an accountant some scissors. CHECK THE SHOW NOTES FOR SURE ON THIS ONE, FOLKS. You’re gonna want to see these things.

Živjeli, drugovi! Breaking up is hard to do. Luckily, we’ve got first-time returning guest Nick Page with us this week to talk about the flags of the former Yugoslav republics in all their infinite glory (and stars?). We take a little longer than usual but we take a tour through all seven of these now 30-year-old countries, and learn a lot of history along the way. Plus, something called the Vergina Sun.
