Wednesday's episode brings back another oldie but a goodie, Recommendation Rewind. 

For this iteration, instead of giving you recs based on the previous episode, I dive into a pop culture behemoth, The Last Of Us, and give you some solid post-apocalyptic shows and movies to watch.

Then I get into Moorhead and Benson's latest, Something In The Dirt, and rip out a few cosmic horror, meta-movie, mindf*ck recommendations.

New month, old theme. In The March of Minisodes returns! It was a hit last year, so it's coming back for a second round.

The first of three episodes this week goes through the new MLB rules, the objective behind them, and why everyone needs to chill the f*ck out about a clock ruining baseball.

We wrap up February with the final, and definitely most dangerous interview in our Ask The Experts series. We bring on adventure enthusiast, and all-around badass, Kayla Wernimont to talk about partaking in daring hobbies and the mindset needed to enjoy such unique physical challenges.

We get into rock climbing, water skiing, wilderness rescues, ornery animals, lots of falling, and dogs in climbing costumes.

Plus, who would Kayla take along with her on a celebrities-only adventure? Tune in to find out!

We are rolling on with Ask The Experts and bringing in the official Occasionalists hockey correspondent, Rob Nugent!

We get in some NHL updates and then dive into Rob's experience playing youth and rec league hockey. We talk about what keeps him playing, what are the challenges of playing organized sports as an adult and much more.

We also put together a fictional hockey team that would undoubtedly steamroll to a Stanley Cup win.

Strap on those blades, polish off your best snipe celly, and try to handle the dirtiest dangles in all of podcasting. 

February is upon us and with that, so is a new theme.

This month, we are having a series of discussions with people who have some expertise in a particular subject. To kick off our "Ask The Experts" month, the pod is bringing back sometimes guest star Greg Cherry to talk about standup comedy.

A budding comedian himself, Greg gives us the lowdown on what got him into comedy, his experience working his way through the ranks and some of the unexpected obstacles in the comedy world.

We also get Greg's Top 5 world leaders, past or present, whose standup set he'd like to see.

You can find Greg on IG @craigory_berry & TikTok @gregcherrycomedy.

Despite some delays, the final episode of The Gatekeepers is here! 

January wraps up with a deeper look at the play mechanics and rules of sports to give a casual fan (or not a fan at all) a look at what separates each sport from the other, some interesting sports trivia, and the barriers that have hindered certain sports from catching on with more people.

We also take a look at one of the most intense in-group vs. out-group examples: sports fanaticism and how those particular in-groups might be intentionally or unintentionally keeping others from enjoying the sport.

We are rolling through January with an episode about Gym Culture and what it's like to be an outsider trying to get in. 

How can you minimize the awkwardness of doing something you've never done before, in a place you are unfamiliar with?

I am so glad you asked! This episode answers that question and addresses more reasons why people are hesitant to exercise, join a gym, or get hit with a severe case of Gymtimidation.

Another gateway has been opened for you, lift freely my friends!

Welcome on into another new year here at The Occasionalists!

We kick off 2023 with a month called, The Gatekeepers. We're going to talk about some subjects that seemingly have a lot of barriers to entry or perhaps even individuals separating the in-group from the out-group.

The first episode this month delves into new tech, specifically, the sudden ubiquity of artificial intelligence.

Is it really that intelligent? How can you use it? And will you just help your parents with their Facebook accounts already?! 

Our final episode of the year is in and it's putting all of you on the clock to listen. We wrap up 2022 the same way we did with 20221, by setting up the next year.

This time, we decided to go all in and used our collective resources to hire Roger Goodell to host our first ever....drum roll...Occasionalists Theme Draft!

We are drafting all 12 months of the year this time, with each of us choosing the month and the theme. Who got the steal of the draft? Who reached on a pick? Will Mr. Irrelevant make an impact on his new team?

Find out all that and more in this week's episode.

Part two of our annual Year In Review episode is live!

We get into an Adam-centric trivia segment (Adam Trivalewski!) and segway seamlessly into Afro-Futurism.

We also wrap up with an in-depth look at the past year of podcasting and the things we listened to and are interested in bringing into our show.
