Mildly Excited

We were busy getting our club on. Listen as Sidney and Corey explain how they met James Blake, got on the VIP guest list, and danced to club music like they were in college all over again. We also go over our celebrity sightings, and moving to new apartments in Brooklyn.

Sidney goes on about something regarding motivation and organization in the intro. After, Sidney and Corey talk to Mark Young, film critic for Sound on Sight, about films, comic book adaptations, and how we consume entertainment.

Sidney and Corey are joined by Chris Gayomali, staff writer at Fast Company, to discuss the social norms of the Internets, the deep underbelly of chaos in the days of AOL, and how we may have a culture shift in how we socialize today. Remember, watch Drumline and take a shot every time Nick Cannon plays the drums.

This week's special guest on Mildly Excited is Chris, coffee extraordinaire, from his coffee speakeasy The Tulip House in Southern California. We talk about how someone would start their own coffee shop, our relationship with esoteric hobbies, and how the Internet gives us everything we may ever need and, at the same time, nothing at all.

Sidney and Corey are joined by Bernard Capulong of EveryDay Carry, a project from 2009 that has influenced a new wave of showcasing everyday essentials one might need while being on-the-go. They talk about Tumblr fame, online social behaviors, where EveryDay Carry came from, and celebrities co-opting your online content.

This will be the last long-distance podcast for a while. Sidney and Corey talk shop about the edge of the Internet: we're always plugged in, and there's an infinite amount of stuff to do and watch. How do we differentiate our reliance and integration into social media from our true authentic selves? Hmmmm.

Sidney and Corey join you this week to talk about finding a new home, NYC apartment hunting, and the idea of living somewhere else.

Sidney and Corey return to the podcast game with a triumphant episode. We talk about how news relates to our generation, the future of our news consumption, how our careers are tied to our identity, identity and team sports, and living in a utopian society (read: Japan).

This week on Mildly Excited, we're bringing you a brand new intro and show format, discuss the remake of Cosmos with Neil deGrasse Tyson, Corey's crappy week, bums demanding money on the subway, and how to handle rough times in the past, present, and future.
