Serving Size Equals None. The ‘80s represented a magical confluence of microwave cookery and our own voracious adolescences. Have you ever eaten a Subway 6” meatball sub in two bites? Have you ever eaten a sleeve of Thin Mints and noticed how much it leaves your mouth tasting like you just smoked a menthol cigarette? […]

The Unhelpful Remembance of Selves Past. We always say, “Comparison is the theft of joy.” Actually, apparently, Teddy Roosevelt said it first. He also famously once said, “Who farted? Was it you?” but that’s neither here nor there. The thing is, the person we compare ourselves most often and most unhelpfully is our past self, […]

The Quadrennial Performance Review. The corporate culture here at the Revolting podcast is sorely lacking. Because we fired everyone in HR (for obvious reasons), neither one of us has had a performance review in over four years of podcasting. Today, that changes. Music Picks: Robot – Fucked Up – Epics in Minutes Stevil – The […]

We’re Not Starting a Cult, But If We Were Starting a Cult. Humans will believe just about anything, which makes them ripe for recruitment by people who would manipulate them for their own nefarious ends. In fact, the history of humanity is the history of small groups or charismatic individuals controlling the behavior of the […]

TV Had Rotted Our Minds Long Before the Internet Came Along. You must see that the Internet is just the Choose Your Own Adventure version of television, and long before the algorithm was developed to destroy our free will, TV wormed its way into our hearts and minds, setting the stage for our eventual self-destruction. […]

A Participation Trophy for Your Trouble. It’s award season, because it’s never not award season when people who already make a lot of money and are crazy famous also want to be told they’re doing a real good job. As the greatest podcast that ever was, in this universe or any of the others, we […]

Never Put the Shovel Away. Robot made a huge mistake last week. He put one of his snow shovels away in the shed. That caused it to snow this week. OK. OK. Maybe it didn’t cause it to snow, but you know how you’re not superstitious, except that you sort of suspect that if you […]

Nature, Nurture, Geography, Chemistry, Luck. We are all bags of DNA and chemicals, raised in petri dishes, by decaying life forms in urban and suburban and ex-urban locales, saddled with genetic predispositions and vulnerable to the capricious whims of luck, both good and bad. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how babies get made. Music […]

This or That, and No Other. This week we’re just gonna play a fun little game that threatens to expose our weird preferences and wrong-headed ideas about what’s good and what is slightly less good. We hope it makes you shout at your internet radio, quit listening and go outdoors. Music pick of the week: […]

What It Is About the Thing. We have a pretty specific set of stuff we really like to participate in, and if you’ve listened for the last 219 hours, then you’re crystal clear on what those things are. To be clear, other stuff might be good too. The list of stuff isn’t meant to be […]

About Revolting

From the publisher's feed

Revolting is a cycling podcast that isn’t about bikes, or even cycling really. Hosts Robot and Stevil sift through topics vaguely related to cycling, looking for what’s good, what’s better, and…
