Leighton Night with Brian Wecht

Leighton and Brian talk with Jay Novella from The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe about critical thinking, subreddits (again, but different ones this time), space, Groundhog Day, media literacy, and - as always - the skyline of Hartford, CT. It's a good episode all around and definitely has some hot takes, so you'll like it for sure.

No guest this week, but there’s really only one thing you need to know: We play a ketchup commercial Leighton and her dad made when she was a kid. Listen and marvel, because everything you need for a happy and productive life exists within this episode.

On this doozy of an episode, we have a chat with absurdly talented actress/musician/filmmaker/lovely friend Janina Gavankar about the wild tale of us meeting, the creative process, perfectionism, Drum Corps, the mysterious Netflix calculator, and more. It's delightful and we hope you enjoy it. Also be sure to check out Janina and Russo Schelling's short horror film "Stucco" on Youtube! If you like body horror, practical special effects, and things that are just really damn good, you'll love it.

OMG what a great episode!!! We got THE Gene Park, the gaming reporter from the Washington Post, to talk to us about which games make us emotional, Zoom/non-Zoom orgies, why Dan Avidan’s parents are great, and our favorite obscure video games. Gene is a wonderful guy and this is probably the best episode yet - you gotta hear this!

It’s the most graphic episode of Leighton Night ever - hooray! Brian and Leighton talk about medical mishaps, chiropractors, haunted houses, and a variety of other unsettling topics. There’s a lot of fun stuff in here for sure but if you’re on the squeamish side, just be careful - it gets pretty “real”. But in, like, a fun way.

Wow, what an episode! Leighton, Brian, and Josh Henderson (Continue Show, M Class Podcast, Cracking the Spine) talk about every single thing under the sun, including but not limited to: Mathew Lillard, the “Corn Porn” subreddit, escapist science fiction, Leighton’s idea for a Buzzfeed thinkpiece, and Brian’s intense dislike of cheese. Amazing, right?

Taco Bell and butts - these are just two of the very intellectual topics you’ll hear in this outstanding conversation between Leighton, Brian, and Josh Cantero from Planet Booty. Additionally, we discuss nerdy brass instruments, favorite breakfasts, post-breakup dating, bad juices, flirting, and vastly more. This is a good one!
