WE LOVE IT!!! On this week's episode, we dive into the glitz, the glamour, the gall, the gallantry, the champagne wishes and CBD quinoa salad dreams as we discuss the city of lights, the city of brotherly love, the big muddy herself Los Angeles with the big muddy herself CK Kimball (Hey LA, Certified burlesque genius, @glitterpizzacat)! All joking aside LA is a very weird, very nuanced city that a lot of people have never really given a chance, and CK comes with an incredibly fresh, on-the-ground look at what makes this city truly special. Also, turns out, this is the episode with all of the follow-up jokes* about Snowpiercer...one thousand and one bits long... Like the show? Be sure to to leave a rating and review on Apple Podcasts! It may not seem like it helps, but deep down, somewhere in the depths of the great metal beast in which we live, it helps make things just a little bit better for the people of Podpiercer...one thousand and one pods long... *we'll call 'em that, sure

On this week’s show multimedia multi-hyphenate Vanessa Guerrero (@nesgritton, El Rey, Kicking and Screaming Podcast) joins us to talk YouTube food culture! We discuss the deep cultural nature of food, food as travel as content, and the slightly voyeuristic nature of some of these channels and presenters. Later, Vanessa and Brandon agree to buy a fuck ton of international potato chips (But hey if Lays Canada wanted to just SEND us some All Dressed Chips we wouldn’t complain, eh!). We then spend a significant amount of time listening to Brandon get very turned on while talking about the concept of automats. Plus: Bill Walton plays the glockenspiel! Like the show? Leave us a rating and review on the ol' Apple Podcasts box. It's like an automat but for podcasts and also it's very very bad :)

On this week’s show, you pod me right round baby right round as we talk vinyl records with Brannon Hoff (New Nintendo Podcast XL, @brnhoff). We (crate) dig deep on all the reasons why this format is so appealing to nerds and collectors, the benefits of vinyl versus streaming, and share some of our wettest and wildest record collecting stories. Plus: Brandon shares a story about Weezer being grumpy! Like the show baby right round round round? Then leave a rating and review and round round on the Apple Podcasts app which is apparently good now? or at least not full trash. Who knows! I sure don’t. #Overcast.

On this week's show we wax nostalgic for the future that never was as Matthew Serrano (Live From The Space Stage: A Halyx Story, Remain Seated Please - A Hoot & Chief Story, @matthewgserrano) returns to the show to discuss the gone but not forgotten Epcot Center classic, Horizons. We cover everything from the corporate optimism to the retro futurism to the incredible music. We also get VIOLENTLY sidetracked by trying to figure out whether or not Beth has Mandela Effect-ed a Horizons reference into her memories of the shitty Eric Idle version of Journey Into Imagination.

On this week's show, we take a four year journey into the land of the dead with skeleton travel agent turned podcaster Andrew Helmer (That Was A Show? Podcast, @andrewhelmer) as we discuss the late 90s LucasArts classic Grim Fandango. We discuss the art, architecture and music of this one of a kind Day of the Dead/film noir themed game, all of which have left a lasting impact on both the adventure game scene and our guest. I don't really have any jokes for this one! It's a good episode about a good game, what else do you want from me? If you like this good episode about a good game then leave us a good review on the (significantlyfukkenlessthan)good Apple Podcasts app!

SORRY WE'RE NOT HOME RIGHT NOW PODDIN' THROUGH THE SPIDERWEBS LEAVE A MESSAGE AND WE'LL POD YOU BAAAAAACK On this week's show, we take a journey to the tragic kingdom of Orange County as we go deep on No Doubt with Chelsea Pope (The Groundlings, The Pack Theater, Those Jen Psaki videos, @chelseathepope). We talk about the band's evolution, Gwen Stefani's journey from backing vocals to leading lady, and those sweet sweet sweet horns. Like the show? Leave us a rating and review on Apple Podcasts! Hopefully it'll be easier now that Tim Cook has finally decided to overhaul that absolutely hot garbeaux app.

Episode Notes "WELLIREMEMBERITASTHOUGHTITWEREAPODAGOOOOOOOOOOOO" said Tommy The Podcat as he sauntered his way towards the episode description box for this week's episode. "Hmmm," this most felicitous feline thought to himself, "an episode with Erik Wargo (Nightchurch, @erikwargo) about the musical stylings of one Mr. Les Claypool and his band Primus. That sounds like a pretty good show to me." We get deep in the low end on the wild career of one of the most singular bass players in music, and only spend about eight minutes of the show doing mouth bass noises. Primus! Oysterhead! Sausage! Bernie Brains! All of it and more! We're happy to announce that we're now part of the Indiesaurus Podcast Network! For more information, T-rex stomp on over to indiesaurus.com!

On this week's episode, episode number 24 because that's the highest number so this would have to be episode numbah 24, Pack Theater sweetheart Bryan Musil (Tantrum, @bryangdmusil) joins us to talk cult 90's 24's sketch show Mr. Show with Bob and David. Despite only running for 30 24 episodes over four years it remains beloved by sketch dorks decades later, and launched the careers of some of the most successful comedians working today. We also discuss Mr. Show's place in the pantheon of sketch comedy shows, and what has and hasn't aged particularly well since it originally aired 26 24 years ago.Like our show? We're one of the thousands twenty four podcasts available on the internet, and it would help us out a ton if you could leave a rating and review on the ol' Apple Podcasts box!

PODCAST! AT LAST! YOU PUT IT IN YOUR EARS! THE "LES MIS" SHOW! IT'S SADDER THAN YOU'VE FEAAAAAAAARED! On this week's show we take a trip down the ol' Mis herself as Andrew Lee (Rabble Rabble at The Pack, @andreww_lee) joins us to talk Broadway's most French musical, Les Miserables. We get properly overdramatic and properly in our feelings as we go deep on this insanely popular musical about a revolution that super duper does not work out. There's lots of singing, lots of jokes about the French, and a sneak preview at Brandon and Andrew's upcoming, canonical sequel Dos Mis. Plus: Hear Brandon say, in all sincerity and with just a bit too much ire "I'm glad that child died." Don't forget to leave a rating and review on the ol' Apple Podcasts thing. Tell 'em Gavroche sent you for 20% off your next failed revolution.

On this week's show, comedian/writer/actor Jordan Kurtzman (Hot City, @jordankurtzman) joins us to talk Sinéad O'Connor, specifically her album I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got. We go deep on this album full of big feelings, big sounds and big swings from an artist who has truly been through the ringer (even before her ill-fated SNL appearance).There have been zero jokes in this episode description because it's a heavier episode than usual, and I am proud of myself for that. If you're proud of me you should leave a review on the ol' Apple Podcasts box.
