Football! In today’s episode, Podpodcastcast tackles its first ever sports podcast! And there’s really one question: is it actually a sports podcast? That’s what Sam and Honor try to sleuth out as they get to know NFL super brothers, Travis and Jason Kelce, who are the hosts of New Heights, one of the biggest sports podcasts out there. Their show seems like one part sports radio, one part brotherly love, and two parts celebrity on celebrity interview action. But with so many different routes to go down, who is this podcast actually for? The football playing brothers’ rise to stardom has been meteoric, so Sam and Honor discuss to what degree they've been aided by their personalities, their Superbowl appearances, and, of course, Taylor Swift. With so much yelling, venting, and questions about what actually qualifies as sports radio, this packed episode is taking the pod to … new heights (see what we did there). All this plus needing to flee the country, what women are listening to, old memes, sphinxes, and Taylor Swift's 12 new pop bangers! Tune in for another awesome episode of Podpodcastcast!!

Pod we talk about:

New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce

A disclaimer for this episode! We were recording in a different setup than normal, and there were several different technical issues we ran into while recording. This means this episode is might sound a bit rough around the edges in certain sections, apologies for the sound quality in those spots!

Did you know... there's another Honor??? Well, according to Sam this is a mini Honor, which both Honor and Patience-- Honor's sister!! --immediately dispute. Patience is here with a real mystery of a podcast, though she's got it figured out for our hosts with Sherlock & Co. Seems only fitting, with how much we've been hearing from the guy in our inbox... Sam has potentially even more of a puzzler, with the Chrisley Confessions 2.0, and no original Chrisley Confessions to be found?? And Honor's solving the case of the missing second season of Under Pressure, along with figuring out what it's all about to begin with... There's sure to be plenty of sibling synergy, ganging up on Sam, figuring out how exactly to describe something that is nothing, and even a surprise inbox guest on this episode of Podpodcastcast!!!

Pods we talk about:

Chrisley Confessions 2.0

(nonfiction, reality TV-ish, drama)

Under Pressure

(Under the sea, audio drama, analog)

Sherlock & Co.

(Sherlock Holmes, mystery, modern retelling)

There's a call upon the air... a sound, even... the sound of REVOLUTION!!! Join Sam and Honor on not the front lines of war, and not even the intense battlefield of their eternal feud, since they both like this pod!?! Well, okay, there has to be at least one fight, like the debate over where exactly the best starting point for this pod is. For lovers of history, you can dive in deep with 10 whole different revolutions covered in 10 seasons of the pod, chock full of beautiful research and compelling stories from the biggest story, history. For those a little on the wilder side, there's the Revolution of... Mars?? Yep! A fiction escapade from this normally strictly real podcast, sending our hosts up to space. But even from orbit, the signal's good, so tune into this episode of Podpodcastcast!!!

Pod we talk about:

Shut up a Second

This week's ep is for everyone on the full spectrum of smart to stupid- AKA, for people like our very smart guest Emma, and for people who are sooo smart like your beloved hosts Sam and Honor. To really kick things off for these geniuses, Sam's got another Sans Pants Radio pod, with his standard disclaimer to only listen if you're ready to get stupider... Not that it would have any effect on our invincible hosts. Honor's in deep with Blood on the Clocktower, bringing in a pod about STRATEGY of all things!! Sam is skeptical that it even exists in such a game, but thank goodness Emma is a very sage soul who sees the wisdom in Honor's interest in this itty-bitty podcast. And Emma's podcast isn't isn't just a podcast, but a game show!!! With her brain teasers and logic puzzles, she just might be able to whip the PPCC gang into smart shape. Tune in for debates about what counts as a fish, if Blood on the Clocktower is really just Mafia, and whether a musical can be a podcast on this episode of Podpodcastcast!!!

Pods we talk about:

Shut up a Second

(comedy, another Sans Pants classic, random)

The Ravenswood Podcast | A Blood on the Clocktower Show

(social deduction game, not just D&D, strategy)

Lateral with Tom Scott

(trivia, brain scratcher, internet celebrities)

But Sam and Honor definitely aren't waiting to dive into this episode!! This week, our hosts are taking a more informative turn than usual, lured in by news wrapped up in a game show with the NPR news quiz. A classic with NPR moms and apparently teenage boys, the Podpodcastcast crew has to think hard about how they answer this one, or they might not win that WWDTM voicemail... Could walruses make an effective gang? Can you really know the state of the world from a game show? Is Peter Segal scarily bald or just a handsome man!?? It's hard to say. But if you have a panel of comedians, they can say it for you! Which Honor and Sam basically are. You can be the judge of just how hilarious the gang is on this episode of Podpodcastcast!!!

Pod we talk about:

Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!

(news, NPR, comedy)

Finally, a true fan!! Now that Ethan is finally here, we can have the perfect episode with a real Podpod-fan, and definitely not a PP-head. First, Sam's cemented himself as the king of the celebrity interview pod with yet another victim of the pod-demic, comedian and actor Amy Poehler. She's just here for a chill hang, but Honor's pod is just about the opposite, screaming to Never Stop Blowing Up!!! With a completely unique TTRPG system for maximum explosions from yet another season of Dimension 20, this can't get much more classic Podpodcastcast... which is why Ethan brought a true crime pod. Or is it even, with an elevator that makes you disappear, a song that kills people, and a vampire wizard duel?!? It seems to crazy to be true! Guess you'll just have to hear it for yourself on this episode of Podpodcastcast!!

Pods we talk about:

Good Hang with Amy Poehler

(celebrity, interview, comedians)

Dimension 20: Never Stop Blowing Up

(actual play, comedy, nonstop action)

This week, we're quiet as the dead... not! Sam and Honor are doing plenty of talking about Wooden Overcoats, the dark comedy fiction podcast that even an Addams could love. Though the Podpodcastcast crew has been split up for the summer, they won't let that stop them, just like Antigone doesn't let her buffoon brother Rudyard ruin her embalming fun. Following the sibling owners of Funn Funerals as they battle with competitor Eric Chapman, this week our hosts wonder... How exactly would you plan a funeral for a clown? Is the Sunday Times a mouse thing or a British thing? Is the annoyingly charming Eric Chapman running a funeral home or a mall? And even... Is this a 5 star podcast?!?! There's only one way to find out!! Tune in for fatal shenanigans and heartwarming spoilers, and everything you'll need to know to decide if Eric Chapman or the Funns are the superior funerary hosts.

Pod we talk about:

Wooden Overcoats

Are you tired of having serious podcasts in your life? Would you like to exchange the news for dumb men and barbecue sauce? Would you like to learn how to be an elite gamer instead of listening to another episode of true crime? Regardless of how you answered, you should listen to this episode of Podpodcastcast!!! Sam’s bringing another podcast from his beloved boys at Australian podcast network, Sanspants Radio. Today he’s asking the important questions according to Plumbing the Death Star, such as “What would you do if you found Anakin in the lava pit?”, “Why does the wizard of Oz give such garbage gifts?”, and, of course ,“Does this podcast rock or does it super rock?”. Honor counters Sam’s silly pop culture pod with something real: a story about barbecue in space. Mars’ Best Brisket is a short little audio drama about the first BBQ joint on the red planet made to raise money for charity, and it's pretty cute! And finally, special guest Teak can’t stop talking about life ruining addiction and nerdy trading card game, Magic the Gathering. His podcast, Play to Win, gives all the tips and tricks that you need to become the best player of little pieces of cardboard in town. All that, plus Elton John, the Wine People Congress, robots, mic sniffing, geese attacks, the card game stock market, and so much more!!! Tune in for good times and darn good pods!!

Pods we talk about:

Plumbing the Death Star

(comedy, pop culture, australian)

Mars' Best Brisket

Is that the top of a mountain rapidly falling out of the sky? Nope, it’s this episode of Podpodcastcast!! It’s finally time to tackle the biggest baddie in the realm of Dungeons & Dragons podcasting… or at least a part of it. Sam’s brain might just explode if it was forced to endure that many hours of straight podding, so join the crew as the pick apart a much more manageable, end-of-the-world, mega-intense tragedy story. EXU: Calamity is just one of many series of Critical Role’s esteemed and revered chronicles within Matt Mercer’s world of Exandria, in just about as ancient history as you can get. Digging through the rumble, Sam and Honor search for answers. Does rolling dice make a story more intriguing? Is it possible to summarize this plot in 19 hours? How cool can a cool audio fight scene really be? Will we finally find out what counts as a long podcast?!? All that and more, on this episode of… Podpodcastcast!!

Pod we talk about: 

Critical Role (Exandria Unlimited: Calamity)

(Dungeons & Dragons, RPG actual play, audio drama, well produced)

The PPCC gang has stuffed so much podcast review content in this episode, it’s a crime!! And if you don’t report us to the man, we’ll hand it over, for free!!! This week's accomplice, Liz, brings Guilty Pleasures, a movie and TV review podcast for loving all the things you know you shouldn’t. I mean, a movie is no podcast, but Liz says that this pod rocks at highlighting fun films and is great for keeping up with TV and movies in the world of  pop culture, without the pretentiousness that can come with some film critics. Sam counters that visual media gobbledygook, with a good ol’ fashioned audio drama, in the form of Sherlock Holmes Short Stories. This little anthology might be the perfect treat for fans of mystery and the classic detective. Honor rounds out the case with some thoughts on table top role playing game podcast Realms of Peril and Glory and their attempt to push the bounds of podcasting by playing the game, Blood on the Clocktower. This social deduction game has so many moving parts and side conversations, is it even possible to make into a podcast? Honor seems to think so, so let’s jump in to find out! All this plus what our AI overlords really want, the league of gingers, the mafia, the Comanche dub for Prey 2022, the continuation of the “Are Plays Musicals?” debate, and so much more!!! Get in before the lawman does!

Pods we talk about:

Sherlock Holmes Short Stories

(audio drama, mystery, classic fiction)

Realms of Peril & Glory

(rpg actual play, not just D&D, well produced)

Guilty Pleasures

(movies,, TV shows, review podcast, down to earth)
