The Skewer Podcast

It's a miracle! Despite massive microphone failure, The Skewer podcast roars back into existence with June 2016's show thanks to Ian Rigg's recordings. And what a show it was. Host Eric Ruelle presided over one of the Skewer's best outings before moving on to Detroit. Ilana Gordon took CBS to task for their crippling Kevin James addiction. Tom Harrison let a twitter poll about monkeys dominate his life. Mike Haverty gave us a tour of Raun Town. And Write Club Overlord Ian Belknap eviscerated NC Governor Pat McCrory with the brutality we have come to expect. Veteran skewerers Ian Rigg and Erika Price square off in the debate over what the next big budget nostalgia video game movie should be. Guys: the Skewer is amazing. We're honored to share it with you.

The Skewer returns to destroy the dumb news of April. This month our lineup is SUPERCHARGED with the writing staff of The Whiskey Journal, America's second favorite source for fake news. This is a super-sized show with a packed bill, so excuse the length. Maybe listen in two sittings. It's worth it. Show is fire.
