Random Access Memory or TWIG RAM is our shoot from the hip media agnostic discussion podcast. Join Birdman, Ken, David, and Adam as we discuss media we’ve consumed either off the cuff or with a specific vague topic in mind…as well as a few off topic tangents that might pop into our heads along the way.

This time, Birdman, Ken, Adam and David talk about the people who shepherded us to become the movie geeks we are today. Some emotional conversations that are well worth the listen.


Jack into our Random access memories here on TWIG!
