Season 2, Ep 4: It’s Not An Ending Did we find him? What happened? We attempt to live fully into our mission to make you laugh and make you cry with this one – you might want a blanket and a bottle of wine to get through it. Email us at [email protected] and let us know your reaction! /episode/index/show/thefirstmichael/id/20521058

Season 2, Ep 3: Where’s Your Daddy? 09/27/2021

Season 2, Ep 3: Where’s Your Daddy? We can’t tell you much in the episode description without giving things away, so we’ll give you this: there’s a promo for a sitcom we’re pitching to Netflix, there are guest interviews that will restore your love of humanity, plus a whole new song to get your groove back! But is there a cliffhanger? People, please. It’s what we do. /episode/index/show/thefirstmichael/id/20520773

Season 2, Ep 2: Who’s Your Daddy, Part 2 09/20/2021

Season 2, Ep 2: Who’s Your Daddy, Part 2 After the cliffhanger in the last episode, it’s time to go deep and find out exactly what happens when Michael knocks on Daddy’s door. You’ll hear more recordings from the road, interviews with Michael’s family when they learn the news of what went down, and you’ll find out what will happen next. Let’s just say we’re not done with cliffhangers on this show and it doesn’t end with us going back home to Portland – stay tuned until the end! /episode/index/show/thefirstmichael/id/20444999

Season 2, Ep 1: Who’s Your Daddy, Part 1 09/13/2021

Season 2, Ep 1: Who’s Your Daddy, Part 1 Michael and Lanie fly to Florida, survey the swamp scene, get hammered, and set out to find Daddy – all in the first 48 hours. You’ll hear recordings from the road, because let’s be honest, hearing stories about drunk people can be funny, but hearing stories FROM people while they’re drunk is where the comedy gold is buried. This episode even includes an original song dedicated to our loyal listeners that will be burning up the dance charts for months to come.. /episode/index/show/thefirstmichael/id/20437844

Season 2 Teaser We’ve stitched together excerpts from our first few episodes of Season 2, including interviews, special guests and drunken travelogues to give you a sneak peek before we return next week! We’ve even dropped a few clues – do you think you can figure out what happened on our big trip? Send us a message and be sure to tell everyone you know to get caught up so you’re ready for the cliffhanger at the end of the Season 2, Episode 1 debut on September 13th! /episode/index/show/thefirstmichael/id/20377514

Ep8: And You Brought Me Home 07/06/2021

Ep8: And You Brought Me Home Is it possible for the Season One finale to be both a great cliffhanger AND the most satisfying resolution to our story you could imagine? Listen all the way to the very end and then write us at www.thefirstmichaelpodcast.com and tell us if we nailed it. To be honest, we know we did, but we want to hear you say it. At length, please. /episode/index/show/thefirstmichael/id/19705403

Ep7: Queen of Shining Light, part II 06/29/2021

Ep7: Queen of Shining Light, part II If there’s one thing we love on this podcast, it’s episodes that are sequels to other episodes. Also, wieners, we love those, too. Anyway, if you’ve been paying attention, you know that Michael has, like, twice as many moms as most people, but they’re all dead, so the whole thing is a real mixed bag for him. The dead mom in this episode is Elaine. Will there be tears? Perhaps a few, but this one will have you in stitches. I swear on all my mothers’ graves. /episode/index/show/thefirstmichael/id/19544792

Ep6 :The Wicked Twist, Part II 06/22/2021

Ep6 :The Wicked Twist, Part II Michael is no longer a precocious tyke in this episode, he’s a teenager. Now that the Devil isn’t trying to tempt him to steal gingerbread cookies, will life get easier for our intrepid hero? Or will puberty, wieners, body hair, locker rooms and a cute new boy at school make things, uhh… harder? We’re also edging ever closer to Michael and Lanie departing for their fateful trip, so be sure to stay caught up and don’t forget to send us your stories of first crushes to [email protected] /episode/index/show/thefirstmichael/id/19543499

Ep5: Small Town Boy 06/15/2021

Ep5: Small Town Boy The Big City Buonocores move from Brooklyn to small town Buckley, Washington, and it’s a bit of a crash landing for Michael. While his mother is glad to be away from the dangers of city life and his father is charmed by their rural surroundings, our young hero is not so thrilled. First of all, there are spiders and bees and an entirely unnecessary amount of nature. Second of all, the big source of entertainment in town is the Logger’s Rodeo. Who rodeos logs? Why is there a feed store downtown? /episode/index/show/thefirstmichael/id/19478984

Ep4: The Wicked Twist Part 1 06/08/2021

Ep4: The Wicked Twist Part 1 Remember all that stuff in episode 1 about how Michael is the Perfect Goodheart, the Chosen One sent from God? Prepare to have your world rocked when you find out the Devil has his hooks in him. We’ll travel back in time to Brooklyn in the 1970’s, when Satan was very actively possessing the children of Catholic parents, as we all know from the horror films of that era. /episode/index/show/thefirstmichael/id/19400450

Ep3: Queen of Shining Light Part 1 06/08/2021

Ep3: Queen of Shining Light Part 1 Michael’s whirlwind journey to meet his new family members nets him two “Welcome to the Family” cakes, so he’s feeling really good about the whole situation. He’ll never get to meet his birth mom, Regina, but he does have some journal entries she wrote about his birth. Michael shares some of these writings in this episode and you might want to have some tissues nearby. Lanie went through ten of them in the studio. We’ll all get through it together. /episode/index/show/thefirstmichael/id/19400405

Ep2: How Much Sibling Do You Need? 06/08/2021

Ep2: How Much Sibling Do You Need? In this episode, Michael learns to juggle the exponential sibling growth in his life and finally finds out if that thing he’s been dealing with all his life is a French thing or some other kind of… thing. We learn that the podcast is not just called “The First Michael” for reasons discussed in the debut episode, but for an additional reason. /episode/index/show/thefirstmichael/id/18098966

Ep1: Perfect Goodheart 06/08/2021

Ep1: Perfect Goodheart In the debut of The First Michael, we hit you with a cliffhanger at the end of the episode because this podcast is a treasure trove of suspense, twists and turns! Also, a fair amount of profanity. We guarantee you laughter and tears right away! Maybe not YOUR laughter and tears, but Michael laughs his ass off and Lanie totally cries, so you can take that guarantee to the bank. /episode/index/show/thefirstmichael/id/19395716
