The Vander Jam

Gooooooooooooooooooood morning! Mondays suck and this one more than usual. But it can't be that bad because we've got a new episode, and this one has beloved friend and Scrundle guitarist @rickrudescalves live in studio! Come along on a magical journey as we discuss high school bands, latchkey children, the implicit dress code of baseball, and the easy way to distinguish Martin Luther and Martin Lawrence. You also hear me laugh the hardest I have on air to date.Enormous thanks to @rickrudescalves, listen to Scrundle at www.soundcloud.com/scrundleband@[email protected]

Gooooooooooooooood morning rainy dark morning, but mayor's coming to you with a little bit of audible sunlight. Back in the studio with a guest in the chair, and this week I'm talking to guitarrorist extraordinaire, friend and bandmate @schmeatprincess, one half of WomanLover! Come along on a magical journey as we talk about pedalboard arrangements, catastrophic damage assessments, the definition of roguelike, and at least one other thing. Major thanks to @schmeatprincess, and keep an eye on www.soundcloud.com/womanloverband@[email protected]

Goooooooooood afternoon! Mayor's back in studio joined by the remarkable and effervescent @jesse_jett, who took time from his busy schedule as a multimedia artist to let the mayor pick his brain. We talk content creation, emotional release and validation, and crack a whole lotta wise over every dork's favorite beatle. Most importantly, Jesse graces us with a composition, live on air, despite the mayor's best efforts. Variety Magazine calls this a "can't miss episode of America's favorite podcast," and what reason would they have to lie?Major thanks to @jesse_jett, go buy something from jessejett.bandcamp.com@[email protected]

Goooooooooooood morning! No, yr mayor isn't dead, just on a recharge and wellness break, until it got boring so I came back. And more importantly, we're back with a bang - I brought along long-time pal and fellow traveller (and one of the mayor's favorites) @brizzletrips, the poet laureate of the workin' man! Come along on a magical journey as we discuss the serene nobility of day labor, how to connect the macro to the micro without any special cables, and knowing when it's an ethical move to walk down to Dairy Queen.Major thanks to @brizzletrips, and major thanks to the Jam Nation as always!

Gooooooooooooooooood morning arctic assault paint variants! Mayor is back on a blustery morning to do what he does best - meander about esoterica in half hour intervals, and this newest one is sure to hit that mark. Mayor's been depressed, which means he's been reading old comic books and lemme tell you pal, there's a lot to talk about. Come along on a magical journey as we talk narrative feature creep, transcendental black metal, and whether you can do anything of significance without being at least a little bit bonkers.@[email protected]

Goooooooooooooooood morning, just in time to be late for All Hallow's Eve - Mayor's back in the booth with even more listener submitted horror, and I don't just mean Libertarians Posting Their L's. Tonight we feature three tales of terror, a taut trilogy to terrify and so on. Come along on a magical journey as we discuss witchy siblings, pre-9/11 break and enter charges, and how much pain the mayor is in when he tries to speak with an Australian accent.Got something to submit? Shout me out and get spotlighted - stage is small but we're all happy to share.@[email protected]/howardvander

Goooooooooooooooooood morning, deviants and devilkin. Mayor's back in the studio with the Jam Nation assisting with the oration. With all the horrid news in the world it's important to remember that some kinds of scares are welcome, and what better reminder than reading off a bunch of listener submitted spooky stories? Come along on a magical journey as we talk about ant threats, crazy cajuns, and why girls who etch words into concrete give it out the best good-good. Vote at the end for the story to continue!Major thanks to the Jam Nation, without you I'm nothing@[email protected]/howardvander 

Goooooooooooood Halloween season, Jam Nation! Back from a not too brief hiatus but just like Lazarus, Dracula and various other monsters before him, the mayor has proved to be difficult to kill. Thankfully, I remain in the land of the living and I've got some correspondence to catch up on. Come along on a magical journey as I answer some questions and riff on some topics including butts, submarine sandwiches, ad-libbed horror stories and "how it's goin', man."I also forgot to talk about insouciance, so it just means I'll have to come back soon.@vander_iamwww.patreon.com/howardvanderwww.ko-fi.com/mayorhoward

Goooooooooooooood morning, jammers and jammees alike. Mayor Howard back for an evening session because some ideas are better out than in. And thanks to @megagarbage we get a whole lotta mileage out of the word "sunsets." Come along on a magical journey as I go on and on about finality of things, cowboy themed arcade games, why instant coffee is lying to you, and a happy belated anniversary. I also rap a bit, apologies to Fatlip.@[email protected]

Gooooooooooood morning gang! The planet's on fire but maybe we can laugh a bit before the flames get to us. Mayor's back in the saddle with a guest in the hotseat - this time sitting down with fascinating font of factoids @Dancing_HotDog, who forced yours truly to get back to work and bring his A-game (B+ game after the late submission penalty). It's no understatement to say that the mayor has rarely been as fascinated by a guest as he was this time around. Come along on a magical journey as we talk about the hazards of refereeing, the hazards of subscribing to the New York Times, and the hazards that only veterans of the console wars can truly understand.@[email protected]
