Story Hole

In 1989 two Tokyo hikers went on a little jaunt and got lost on Mount Asahi. Lucky for them, they got some help from a mysterious stranger. This week we put our mystery solving pants on and try to get to the top a mountain so we can get to the bottom of this mystery! 

Have you ever wondered why punks wore safety pins and studs?   Did you ever consider that there might be a meaning behind the mohawk and the red plaid?  Do you even know what a buttflap is for?  Join us on our journey to try to explore the origins, and motivations behind, punk fashion!

I hope you're wearing your loincloth, because this week we're looking at the lore behind Conan the Barbarian! Everyone's favorite barbarian! We'll talk about where the character came from and where he got those big beautiful muscles from. Watch out, this episode's gonna be a sweaty one. 

Come back to the 90s  with us and check out some uplifting hip-hop beats with the first rhythm game to hit the Playstation 1. This week can take a peak into the wild world of PaRappa The Rapper, as he just tries to make it through the day. Want to hear a detailed recap about this cute, two-dimensional cartoon dog from the mid-nineties? "You just gotta believe!" 

Have you have been feeling the itch lately to pop in that old compact disc of some 90's pop punk?  Do you have a diehard conviction the UFO's exist and that the truth is out there?  Are in close contact with the upper-echelons of the US military and D.O.D.?  This podcast might be for you! Come with us on a journey as we follow Blink 182, Tom Delonge, and human knowledge of Unidentified Flying Objects.  

Happy New Year everyone! To celebrate 2021, we're taking a deep look at everyone's favorite snack gentleman, Mr. Peanut!  His story is VERY moving.  We also develop some important Mr. Peanut fanfic and Joey invents 5th wave ska. It's worth listening to the end if you're a music fan.
Hope all your New Year dreams come true <3

Hey there you little Ewoks!  It's Christmas week and that means it's time to waddle those little butts on over by the fireplace and put on your favorite holiday special. While you're at it, why not try something different this year? The once buried Star Wars Christmas special is now uncovered once again and everything you've heard is true. It's absolutely god-awful. But, n the true spirit of "Life Day", you should cherish and love it anyway. Grab your R2 units and stap in your cockpits for a bumpy revisit of a very merry Star Wars X-Mas.

Have you ever wondered where Christmas traditions come from?  Why do we kiss under the mistletoe?  Why do we enjoy making gingerbread people?  Why do carol naked and murder someone at the end of the holiday?  You've come to the right place for answers as we try to make connections between modern Christmas and the ancient Roman holiday of Saturnalia!

Christmas is just around the corner, and we thought you might be looking to try something new this year! We've got a list here of other options when it comes to who's coming to town on Christmas Eve to deliver you some holiday cheer. Maybe you'd prefer the Badalisc, a Christmas monster from the Alps? Or Befana, an Italian Christmas witch? Or Mos Gerila, the Romanian hunk sliding down your chimney? They're all perfectly good Santa alternatives!

Happy Holidays everybody <3

Have you ever sat down on an idle Saturday night, put on a VHS of Labyrinth, and stared into David Bowie's giant codpiece and thought to yourself, who is this man? It's a question worth asking, and it all started in the late 60's with his character Ziggy Stardust. This week, we take a telescopic look to the stars at a young David Bowie slipping away into his space cadet character.
