Wu Tang Clan
This week Kyle and Matthew discuss a topic that ain't nothing to [email protected] with. They are joined by one of Rad's favorite guests, the one and only Ed Greer for a rousing discussion about the music and the cultural impact of The Wu Tang Clan. What kind of impact does the idea of rappers as super heroes do to a young person's brain? What are the entry points for getting into Wu Tang and what are the essential albums? All this and several hours more will get discussed as we step into the slums of Shaolin and enter the 36 chambers...

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.

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!

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.

Queer Fiction
This week Kyle and Matthew are joined by writer and comedian Michael Vincent for a chat about queer fiction. Michael talks about his introduction to queer fiction through finding the places were queer fiction has historically snuck its way into that cannon. This would open him up to exploring more of the ever expanding and developing cannon of queer literature. They also go on some fun tangents about crypto currency and bi-girlfriend energy...

We explore the evolution from Mario World for the SNES to the groundbreaking Super Mario 64. Plus, Grant has a hot take on Mario Sunshine.

This week Kyle and Matthew welcome comedian Quincy Johnson II for a conversation about old timey radio... but also a lot of other stuff. Quincy is a fantastic comedian and he was on the last live comedy show Kyle was on last year. Getting back together they get off on some wild tangents as they go along including Godzilla vs Kong, antiquated weed humor, and America's love affair with Stone Cold Steve Austin.
