The Upgrade Podcast

Episode 108 - Len and Gary talk about classic comedies, legendary comedians, how those things shaped their crazy (and often dark) sense of humor, and whether the comedy they grew up with holds up today. From there they shift to collecting, music gear and the evolution of Len’s own Landmine Studios/Trax on Main. And of course it wouldn’t be an episode of The Upgrade without some political talk…. Analyzing political parties, moral bankruptcy and the mess we are in as we approach the end of 2026.
