E3 is officially here and it's fan service all the way down. Backwards compatibility on the Xbox One, The Last Guardian is finally being released, and Final Fantasy VII is getting the remake everyone apparently wants.

TV played a surprisingly subversive role in diversifying musical genres and introducing some American pop and folk groups and Motown R&B stars that people otherwise may not have heard. We review shows such as Hootenanny, Shindig and Hullabaloo from the 60s, and examine how they broke the hold of AM radio formats and advertisers on programming.

We do a little fangirling for the TV show, Shadowhunters, talk about the greater good and pitched a new TV show, Susan’s Adventures in the Silos.

In this episode, we love on our libraries, vote for our favorite book club reads, and discuss Jessie Burton's The Miniaturist. Susan defines the difference between observation and being a total creeper, Tara licks language from a bowl, and Jeannette shares a cool Kindle tip!

We introduce ourselves with books. We discuss Book Bingo and all its glorious nerdiness. And we discuss a legacy written in a long letter to his son.

We talk to Lee Bozeman about Luxury and their first new album in around 10 years: Trophies. Lee tells us some behind the scenes stories of recording the album, the thoughts put behind previous Luxury album covers, and whether or not Luxury will ever tour again! Also: Lee is asked for the third time this week what he thinks of Walker Percy!

Matt reports back on seeing Denver band The Still Tide, reducing our degrees of separation! Smoke & Honey play a cd release show, too. NPR throws their hat in the audiophile snake oil ring, YouTube launches 360 degree videos and we discuss passive and active music videogames.

Apple's WWDC event happened and that means Lyons and Mike are here to pick it apart! We also pour one out for the Apple TV that wasn't. Also: somehow we found a way to bash Microsoft and we feel appropriately contrite about it.

Polly and Shelby hit double digits in released episodes! They share theories on the plot of a Gilmore Girls reunion and discuss the crazy shenanigans happening on the Bachelorette (Tony, Clint & JJ - we’re looking at you). The ladies of Likely Story are joined by special guest, Carolyn, to discuss her connection to American Ninja Warrior. Also: Stephen Colbert is awesome and CBS hits a new low.

Smoke & Honey prepares their debut and Mike has a Montropo gig report. Also: Inappropriate band names, doing things just for exposure, and why the Mario theme song is so catchy!
