In the midst of R.E.M. discussion John improves his Bono impression, Pat confuses lyrics, and April irrevocably promises to be the official show Publicist.

Lifes Rich Pageant

Pat indulges John yet again in his Bob Mould fandom, and in return learns a little something about this higgledy-piggledy mystery we call love.

Flip Your Wig

John and Pat are joined by pop culture editor Steve Mockus, who discusses the albums Fables of the Reconstruction and Reveal and, at long last, schools them on the delightful world of pregnant teen reality TV shows.

Fables of the Reconstruction

Looking for interesting insights into poetry? Want to learn more about a couple of your favorite poets? Don’t listen to this podcast. Seriously. This is terrible. John & Pat know more about the language of the creatures who live on the dark side of the moon then they do about poetry. Do yourself a favor skip this episode and listen to a white noise podcast.

David Schneider returns for our ongoing series of R.E.M. album discussions. As usual, there are no digressions, which is too bad, because ‘Around The Sun’ needs all the help it can get.

Reckoning

Number one fan Jessica returns to discuss two of her favorites: Elvis Costello and Stephen Colbert. So if you’re a skinny nerd with glasses, we might have a new friend for you.

John & Pat’s in-depth discussion of R.E.M.’s albums Murmur and Accelerate is constantly interrupted by foul seductress (and special guest star) Ami’s impressions of famous people, juicy entertainment gossip and thoughts on Men’s Rights

Murmur

John & Pat are joined by Vivian to discuss two acclaimed documentaries, because it’s all right for two men to talk about children as long as there’s a woman present.

Spellbound

John & Pat begin the arduous process of reviewing every R.E.M. album the only way anybody could: by talking about candy bars for nearly an hour.

Chronic Town

John & Pat look at two hit movies that were made into hit TV shows. That’s all. Like all fine-tuned German podcasts, there will be no digressions or extemporaneous chatter to trouble your fragile mind.
