I dive into a city with its fair share of crime with author Marc Sinibaldi. We talk about 'The Redemption File'; his debut novel about an accomplished detective whose partner is murdered.

I reminisce about our history that spans over decades about music from decades before. Then we get into his book, how he takes both positive and (the very little) negative critiques, and what's next? We close with what's next in the form of a numerical trivia question.

After the AFC/NFC Championship games, 3 outta 7 ain't bad until we're left scrambling for something to say. Doesn't help the questions are questionable at best. But after another scratchy start, we talk football for a few moments before my poor judgement of time leads down a path towards peak animated series episodes, syndication and lost sitcoms from the 20th century.

I start Season 3 by ending the second season in style; by using it as a springboard to rant on my birthday about...

Pete Alonso and the high price of giving the people what they want.

What I wanted was what I got - a trip back home and a podcast to boot.

Kicking around the tires of old content is what birthed RDAT; why not go back to the well?

Nas is Like is next whenever that is and when it is, who will want to draft a Simpsons episode?

Connecting flights from all over, the Terminal supplies questions for those going Gate to Gate.

The discussion starts with love for the film adaptation of Richard Bachman's classic. The greatest running back of all time was also a movie star like so many before and after him.

Starting with (think Selma Hayek) "The King" to David Bowie and Babs (or Barbra); popular musicians have been pushed onto screens of all sizes. We discuss a long list of rappers who became rappers like Queen Latifah, Fredro Star and Ice Cube. And was 2Pac a rapper, actor or poet?

Connecting flights from all over, the Terminal supplies questions for those going Gate to Gate.

The discussion starts with the worst results from sports analytics, then reopens the wound-like query - Can we celebrate the art without the artist?

But the results of the success of said art can also be affected. Like the power of shouldering a 30-minute family sitcom in the 1980s. How will their legacy be viewed going forward? The legacy of many other shows has already been scavenged for reboots of old tropes of shows from before. From what's left, what would you want to see made?
