I Don't Wanna Hear It

And I will die all alone / And when I arrive I won’t know anyone.

This is a preview of the upcoming second season of Wasteland, which focuses on the strange death of Ross Michael Cochran in Daytona Beach, Florida in 1973 and the far-reaching circumstances which may have led to it. A myriad of occult accusations were levelled at the perpetrators, however, the insidiousness of what prompted Cochran's  murder is far more troubling and dark.

Season 2 will officially debut in December of 2023. Follow me on Instagram @wastelandpod for updates. And in the interim, please check out my other podcast, I Don’t Wanna Hear It, wherever you get your podcasts.

This episode was researched, written, produced, recorded, narrated, edited, and – in some areas – scored by Michael Paul Anthony.

219 – Disc Dives For Dummies: White Crosses by Against Me!

This week we examine the first good record by Against Me!, White Crosses. Yes, that's right: all the albums before this one were stinky, hobo punk and it was only when the band sold out that they became listenable.

(Truth time, Mikey wrote this description. I actually like Reinventing and The Eternal Cowboy. So, if you're going to kill anyone, make sure it's him. I'm a doctor. - Shane.)

Due to a technical flibbidy-flob, we had to push our normal episode to next week. However, here is a peek behind the iron-clad paywall. Patrons receive a bonus episode (almost) every month. Man, what a sales pitch. Here's one we recorded after watching a bunch of 'roided out drama students beat the blood out of each other. New episode next week shut-up!
