This week we talk to the founder and Chief Shoe Giver of TOMS, Blake Mycoskie. TOMS has just launched “The Marketplace,” a new retail destination created to make a difference, so we talk to Blake about our culture’s excessive consumerism (especially on Black Friday) and how TOMS is using its name to bolster social entrepreneurship. Also this week, the crew plays a special Black Friday game (“Skymall Friday”), we discuss the safety of watching TV while driving, and desperately try to figure out how to get dcTalk back together…

What should be done to incentivize dcTalk to reunite?

They’ve all become individually successful, have hinted at a reunion, but as of yet, have done NOTHING to officially make a comeback. So as a podcast family, we’ve decided it’s officially time for us ALL to put our weight behind this and get Toby, Michael and Kevin back together. So this week, in probably one of the most serious questions we’ve ever asked, we want to know from you, what should be done to incentivize dcTalk to reunite?

This week we talk to indie/electronic artist (and podcast favorite) Washed Out. We also go inside the new issue of RELEVANT, featuring Mindy Kaling on the cover. And on top of that, we tell you some of our current media recommendations and try to wrap our minds around the dark magic of David Blaine…

This week, the lovely Audrey Assad stops by to perform a couple of songs from her latest album, “Fortunate Fall.” As you would expect, we filmed the performances for your viewing pleasure, and they can be seen on RELEVANT.tv, our YouTube page, and we even posted one below for you (note: she’s amazing and you’ll definitely want to watch these). Also this week, Eddie and Jon square off in the made-for-podcast-classic, “How To Avoid Huge Ships – The Game.” Much like Audrey – but in a VERY different way – you won’t want to miss this!

This week we talk to pop/folk/electronic singer/songwriter, Ellie Goulding. She has a new album out called “Halcyon” and it’s one that you need to have on rotation. Plus, Cameron returns to introduce a new cast member to the podcast. Here’s a hint: he’s appeared on the show before, is a funny guy, and shares our love for falconry. Nothing? How about this: Jesse has been called the “(his name) of podcasting.” Still nothing? Well then you’d better sit down and start listening, because this podcast is about to blow your mind!
