In this episode, we break down the legends: Creed, Nickelback, Puddle of Mudd, Breaking Benjamin, and Buckcherry. From Scott Stapp’s open arms to Chad Kroeger’s meme-worthy vocals, we embrace the power chords, questionable lyrics, and post-grunge angst that defined a generation. Is Buttrock unfairly hated, or does it slap harder than we want to admit? Tune in for crass jokes, nostalgia, and some guilty pleasure rock anthems.

Michael Malloy - Mike the Durable
Lesser Known People
Michael Malloy—also known as Mike the Durable—is the closest thing history has to a real-life Rasputin. In 1930s New York, a group of small-time crooks hatched the dumbest insurance scam of all time: take out a life insurance policy on a local drunk and kill him for the payout. Simple, right? Except Malloy had the constitution of a cockroach. Poisoned drinks? He asked for another round. Antifreeze? Tasted just fine. Rotten oysters marinated in wood alcohol? Delicious. Even running him over with a taxi twice wasn’t enough. In this episode of The Lesser Known People Podcast, we break down...

info_outlineJudge Holden, a central figure in Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian, is a character of immense physical and intellectual presence, shrouded in mystery and menace. He is described as towering and hairless, with skin so pale it appears almost luminous, giving him an otherworldly and unsettling appearance. His large frame and immense strength contrast with his refined mannerisms and erudite speech, making him both grotesque and charismatic.
The Judge is multilingual, well-read, and a polymath, with a prodigious memory and knowledge spanning philosophy, law, natural sciences, and the arts. Despite his outward charm and affable demeanor, he embodies pure, unrelenting violence and chaos. He is a figure of near-supernatural evil, often depicted as a force of nature or a manifestation of war itself, reveling in destruction and domination. His philosophical musings frequently delve into the nature of power, fate, and human violence, casting him as both a nihilist and an arbiter of existential truths.
Holden's enigmatic presence looms over the novel, as does his eerie propensity for appearing and disappearing seemingly at will. He remains inscrutable, his ultimate motivations unclear, but his role as a harbinger of death and destruction leaves an indelible mark on the landscape of the book and the psyche of its characters.
