The Boredwalk Podcast

This week we talk about how stupid they way we're all living is. We do discuss some bright spots, though, like Dolly Parton bedtime stories, koala live feeds, hilarious new comedy specials, and goats reclaiming the earth. We also pour one out for Adam Schlesinger, co-founder of the bands Fountains Of Wayne and Ivy, who sadly succumbed to coronavirus complications this week. Stay home and stay safe out there, friends.

Talk about silver linings of a global pandemic! We are very excited this week to be joined on the podcast by Brian Koppelman! Brian is the co-creator and show runner of the hit Showtime series Billions, as well as the host of his own podcast, The Moment with Brian Koppelman. We've long been fans of his work, and it was a real joy to be able to chat with him about his journey from being an A&R exec in the music industry to a creative pro in his own right as a writer, director, and producer in TV & film. Plus we got to argue about REM's best albums, which was a real treat! Enjoy!

This week we discuss what's happening both with Boredwalk specifically and the U.S. more broadly with regard to the COVID-19 outbreak. To be honest, this ep is a bit of a downer, but it's not all doom & gloom! We also get to read glowing customer review AND a ton of very entertaining Question of the Day responses, so definitely check it out!

This week we discuss the rapidly escalating crises that are the COVID-19 pandemic and the stock market's panicked response. So long, retirement funds! It was great while it lasted. We also talk a bit about Netflix reality show phenomenon Love Is Blind and the weirdos sending the cast death threats. Speaking of death, Question of the Day was pretty grim this week, but we still manage to have some fun with it thanks to some entertaining responses from fans & customers. Enjoy!

This week we're joined by the ghostly, ethereal wails of a very sad cat in the next room — spooky! Matt regales us with a tail of dental incompetence, Meredith debuts her husky Kathleen Turner voice, we indulge in a brief postmortem of Super Tuesday primary results, and engage in a few choice rants re: misspelled names and generational fashion thieves. We also feel pretty chuffed about some recent reviews, and read lots of Question of the Day comments! Enjoy!

This week we discuss current events like the stock market meltdown and coronavirus outbreak! We also read some customer reviews and tons of Question of the Day comments — maybe yours — and do a rundown of the shows & movies we've been enjoying lately. We talk about Boredwalk Bingo, and wonder what Oscar Wilde would make of the cultural landscape of 2020. Enjoy!

Aaaannnd...we're back! This week we discuss the Democratic debate, snarky supermarket robots, ubiquitous Facebook Group ads, and how Joe Biden is like a walking, talking brick of shredded wheat: it'll keep you regular, but it's tough to get excited about it. We also share a fun review, an epic story from a customer, and send shout outs all over to recent Question of the Day commenters. Plus we have new art to share — yay!

This week we're joined for a fun and illuminating conversation with a real life congressional candidate, Kiani Gardner! We discuss her scientific background, her reasons for running for elected office, and the intersection of local and "kitchen table" issues like healthcare costs and crumbling infrastructure with big global stuff like climate change! We also talk about the importance of getting every state's progressives into the national political conversation and the fact that Alabama isn't as deep-red as people think. Don't worry, though — we also talk about dinosaurs and Michael Jackson arcade games. You know — BIG ISSUES.

This week we share two reviews — a salty one followed by a sweet chaser — read some excellent responses to recent Questions of the Day, talk a bit about what's going on in Boredwalk Land, and Meredith takes issue with Matt's freewheeling sock drawer and Oliver's recently returned big kitten energy. We also supplicate ourselves at the feet of the Shirley Temple King.

This week we share THREE reviews, a bunch of Question of the Day responses, and talk a bit about the new designs coming your way. We also share some choice cuts from our Instagram Stories "Hater-Ade" section, talk about the milk-drinking senators participating in the presidential impeachment trial, and dissect the magically awful 1994 schlock-fest Tanny & The T-Rex. We also talk about our upcoming round of hiring and our imminent foray into Texas tourism.
