We’ll be back with a new episode next week, but – until then – listen to Liam stumble through an excuse and tell Tom’s secrets.

After last week’s wild episode, Tom and Liam decide to swap a couple breezy tales. Liam talks about a weird conspiracy involving TV episode descriptions, while Tom talks about E3 leaks… and how maybe they shouldn’t be trusted.

You know the theme song, right? Sometimes it’s sad? This is a sad one. A good one! But a sad one. Special guest Jane Cripe makes her triumphant return with a knockout story about Mars Argo’s incredible story of resilience in the face of some pretty heinous abuse. Liam tells a story about one man’s strange fascination with his own character. And Tom finally drags us into the dregs of leftist podcasting by talking about Ross Douthat’s no-talent writing and fool ideas. Enjoy!

Liam’s back in action with one of the silliest, laugh filled episodes we’ve had yet! Liam talks about Banksy, the Ricky Gervais of street art, while Tom tells Liam about a group of brave internet users who straight up ruined someone’s wikipedia page.

*Disclosure: The opening theme got warped during exporting, but the rest of the episode is perfectly fine, I promise.

Liam got sick, so we did a magic spell and he swapped places with none other than Big Time Whoopsies host Eric McAdams, who spins a yarn of surrealist dreamers for Tom. Tom in turn talks about a surreal internet incident that left everyone confused and uncomfortable.

“One day, Simba, all of this will be yours. Everything the light touches is part of our kingdom. Gaze upon it – filmmakers who don’t grok the sovereignty of wild animals, a games industry with a exploitative lack of transparency. Look, Simba, and weep.” – Mufasa

Hope you like sick boys and unions, cos this episode has both. Tom destroys his throat (to Liam’s utter horror) as they tell tales of unions, which – of course – ends in both of them decrying capitalism. Just a typical episode.

It’s Liam’s first Media Minor, the supplementary podcast where Liam or Tom expands on a story. Liam talks about the recent arrest of abusive cult leader Keith Raniere from episode 79’s story “The Mark Of NXIVM.”

We have a short and somber Media Majors today as we take a look at Memorials. Liam talks about the global tributes to one of the highest grossest movie franchises, while Tom looks at a small group of online players whose sole domain was recently shut down.
