Micro-Dosing
This week Kyle and Matthew welcome comedian Carmen Morales for a chat about the new frontier of micro-dose medical treatments. While it's easy to think about psychedelics as something you buy in the parking lot of a Phish concert but studies are showing that small amounts of certain types of psychedelics are helping to treat issues like depression and bi polar disorder. There is also a nice chunk of chat about psychology in joke writing and the weird places innovation can sometimes take things.

Year in Rad 2021

Year in Rad 2021
Oh boy folks, what an adventure. Our dear sweet Matthew Burnside had to step out of the ep moments before we began to record. Originally this was gonna be our classic end of the year round up with the boys from The Goods from the Woods. But Carter, Sam, and Burnside all had to step away so what you're getting is Kyle Clark and Rivers Langly doing what they do best: Talking. They recount their TV, music, and movies of the year. No top 10 lists. No epic retrospectives. Just two buds looking back on a crazy year and chatting about stuff they liked. A fun low key way to end a very weird year. See you in 2022!!!

Tank Girl
This is a very special week for This Is Rad! After 18 months over zoom or outside Kyle, Matt, and Laura return home. Well, technically Matt and Laura have been LITERALLY home this whole time but as far as This Is Rad! goes we record in Matt and Laura's living room for the first time since March 2020. We couldn't be happier that our first guest back is the one and only Jenny Chalikian. While a Battlestar episode is FOR SURE on the horizon, Jenny is solo this round talking about the wonderful world of Tank Girl. From comic to movie to cultural icon, we celebrate one of the cooler comic books around.

Muay Thai

Muay Thai
This week Burnside is out (but SUPER alive) so Kyle has a one on one chat with his friend and longtime Muay Thai fighter, Mike Satumbaga about a life in martial arts. In the last year Kyle has started training and has a million questions to ask Mike. Mike spent several years as a competitive fighter while keeping it secret from his friends and family. He explains why he kept his identity as a fighter on the DL and some of the annoying side effects of someone learning you're a fighter. They talk post fight euphoria, nerds taking over sports, plus they get into their shared love of Filipino food. A fun convo that stays on the rails. There was so much to cover that there will definitely be a part two in the future.

This week Kyle, Matthew, and Laura hang with the always fun Robert Ahn for a chat about movies about making movies. These can range from the self indigent to completely brilliant and we try to highlight some of the ones where we think they work. We also chat about the state of DC Comic movies, book vs movie adaptations, and try a fun snack!

90's and 00's Pop Punk

90's and 00's Pop Punk
This week Burnside is on assignment so Kyle is solo chatting with comedian Pete Buchbauer. Pete and Kyle were on a show recently and figured out Pete is friends with Kyle's cousin's husband. Sure it's a bit of a Spaceballs level relation but still neat. They chat about 90's and 00's Pop Punk. Kyle's been vocal about hating this genre but still knows a lot about it. They largely explore the origins of pop punk, it's rise to prominence, and its evolution during the early 00's. Plus, they share their experiences playing in bands and the influence of regional scenes on Pop Punk's evolution. Then they start talking comedy and it goes off the rails for a while. But its some good comedy talk nonetheless. This is absolutely a topic we'll be returning to again in future episodes. For now, enjoy!

Eating Outside
On our next installment of Summer of Rad 2021, we are joined by Rivers Langley and Joe Raines for a fun cookout. Each year our dear friend Rivers makes us a summer meal and we eat and hang out. This year he made Cubano sandwiches and turnip greens and Laura made cornbread. We discuss what went into making it all. WARNING: if you hate people eating on mic, either skip this ep OR fast forward an hour and you should be safe. Beyond food we also chat about the new Space Jam, some nerdy comedy talk, and the TV series Love Island. Plus, Kyle and Rivers do a LOT of quotes from Jurassic Park... Weekly Rads: Kyle – The Forever Purge (movie) Burnside – Wellington Paranormal (show) and Space Jam: A New Legacy Laura – The Fear Street Movies (movies) and The Repair Shop (show) Rivers – McCartney 321 (series) Joe – Pig (movie) Tales from an Analog Future issue 1 Is OUT!!!!

4th of July Parties
On this week's episode a few of the survivors of the Clark Family 2021 4th of July Party, sit down to talk about what their first party after a year and a half was like. Join Matthew, Laura, Kyle, Kasey Clark, Dave Apkarian, Alexa Teal Green, and Grant Bubar as they chat about live bands, food, and reconnecting with friends. Plus, Kyle drinks strawberry margaritas the whole time and it absolutely does not affect him or his speech. There are a few popping sounds but we've done our best to compress the audio.
