Boldly Going with Trek Track: A Chat with Joe Campbell Exploring the Final Frontier at Dragon Con In this episode of The Dragon Con Report, we set our phasers to “fun” and beam aboard one of Dragon Con’s most beloved programming tracks — Trek Track. Our guest, Joe Campbell, joins
Our June episode is Part 2 of a Podcasting Crossover Spectacular! Part one took place over on “The Flopcast” Episode #686, hosted by Kevin Eldridge, where I was his guest and we extensively discussed ‘Movie Title Songs’. Part 2 is right here in Episode #5 where Kevin is my guest,
Flopcast episode 686! Returning to the Flopcast after a full decade away, it’s our old pal (and comedy musician, podcaster, animator, storyboard artist, and voice actor) the great Luke Ski! Luke came up with the subject for this week’s Top 4 1/2 List, and it’s a long one: The Top
Cigar Nerds Podcast: 40 Years of Goonies. Hey You Guys! This week we’re taking a look back at our youth and talking about the 40th Anniversary of The Goonies. In science we discuss new helicopters, auto scopes, boxing robots, and high tech corvettes. In Nerd News we look at Sandman
Flopcast episode 685! It’s the 40th anniversary of Live Aid, and we have a guy who was there. Our friend Rich Wilhelm takes us on a deep dive through his long day at JFK Stadium in Philadelphia for the biggest charity concert in history. Including: General admission tickets at the
LAST ALBUMS We all can think of those artists or bands that we feel went just one album too far (and sometimes more!) and what might have been a great ending, capping off an iconic career, is undermined by a less-than-stellar follow-up. This week Anthony and Alan talk about some of the examples they
Flopcast episode 684! The Mayor finally gets a week off, because we have a special guest. Judy is one of Kevin’s running buddies, and she teaches us all about ultramarathon running! (Have you ever run 100 miles in a day? Judy has. Don’t you feel completely exhausted just reading that?)
Flopcast episode 683! As our 1980s-themed episodes roll along, we return to the weird movie game we played a few weeks ago. But this time we’re looking at the movies of 1983. So we’re yanking characters from randomly-selected movies, shoving them into different movies, and seeing what happens. Our participants
THE CLASH This week Rob and Alan chat with author Iain Key about his new book All the Young Punks: A People’s History of the Clash, an oral history of one of the most seminal bands in modern music. Iain is well-known to Louder Than War regulars as the presenter of his own Indie
In this episode of The Dragon Con Report, we suit up for a thrilling conversation with Laurence Lagnese, event coordinator for the Palmetto Knights! Laurence shares insights into the world of armored combat and the rich pageantry of medieval mayhem that the Palmetto Knights bring to Dragon Con each year.
Flopcast episode 682! It’s another 80s-themed episode, and we’re up to 1982. And to keep this one short and silly, we’re just looking at the albums we bought from that year. It’s a mix of goofy mainstream pop (Hall & Oates, Air Supply, REO Speedwagon), some slightly cooler stuff (Elvis
