In this episode of For the Love of Media, Vishy and Bosco talk about one of Vishesh's favourite albums: Tom Waits - Swordfishtrombones.

They discuss the cabaret aesthetic of Tom Waits, his storytelling skills and even try out their own interpretations of Tom Waits singing a variety of different tunes.

Let's explore the dark, twisted world that Tom Waits vividly paints, enter the minds of shell shocked soldiers, broken people and lonely humans, and take a walk through dilapidated neighbourhoods. Misery is the river of the world in this universe and there's no way out.

In this episode of Two Halves of One Idiot, Vishy and Bosco discuss the very topical and divisive topic of Veganism.

They dive into their personal views and experience, express their disdain for extremists (both vegans and carnivores), and make their best attempt to have a nuanced discussion about the ever strongly opinionated world view of Veganism.

Sit down, have a vegan dish and meet a 600-pound Texan with a hankering for meat, this should be a wild ride.

In this episode of For the Love of Media, Vishy and Bosco dive head first into Bosco's favourite album from his favourite band, Oh No! It's Devo! by Devo (1982).

They discuss the band's philosophy of De-Evolution, dissect each song and the themes of the album, and occasionally go on tangents trying to find meaning in this otherwise meaningless world.

Take some Time Out For Fun and have a mini Explosion of joy before entering your Deep Sleep and take a listen! Just make sure you're not Out of Sync when you do, otherwise it'll end in a Big Mess.

What happens when a band sets out to make an album as Fascist Clowns? You get people yelling Oh No! It's Devo!

In this episode, Vishy and Bosco discuss the animal kingdom. They talk about their favorite creatures as well as some of the most terrifying. They delve into the various mating habits of odd animals, share personal stories of crazy creature encounters and get introspective with their inner animal.

Since nature itself is not particularly family-friendly, you might want to skip over this if you're uncomfortable with talk of certain mating rituals or certain parts of animal anatomy.

In this episode of For the Love of Media, Vishy and Bosco delve into one of Vishesh's favourite books: Ursula K. Le Guin's The Left Hand of Darkness.
