Flopcast episode 388! It’s sort of a Halloween-themed show, but not really! Including: A concert report on super-cool garage pop band Bleached!

Flopcast episode 387! It’s time to flip through another issue of the magazine we all bought through our school book club long ago, Dynamite! And this 1981 issue is an amazing one, because the cover features a hero of ours, and someone you’ve heard on The Flopcast: James “The Amazing” Randi!
Flopcast episode 386! With our DragonCon coverage out of the way (finally!), it’s time to catch up on every other silly thing we’ve done lately. Kornflake reports on Napkin Poetry with Jim’s Big Ego, gum jingles with Marc With a C, Pac-Man Battle Royale at Funspot, and giant bugs at

Flopcast episode 382! Our ten-part 80s celebration continues with a quick look at the Top Ten songs this week in 1982! It’s an odd list, with a couple of veteran 60s acts (Paul McCartney and Crosby, Stills, and Nash), a couple of soft rock classics (from Chicago and our true
Flopcast episode 381! We’re taking a break from our frantic DragonCon preparations to look at the Top Ten songs this week in 1981! The Pointer Sisters wanted a slow hand, the Greatest American Hero was walking on air, there was no getting over Ronnie Milsap, and there was no avoiding
