Flopcast episode 717! Were you listening to the radio half a century ago? And was it ridiculous? We’re looking at a list of the Top 100 songs of 1976, and it sure seems that way. But it’s a fun mix of classic rock, disco, easy listening, disco, novelty songs, and
Flopcast episode 716! This is a short one, because here in Chickentown, we’re all a bit under the weather. (And the weather is not good. A massive snowstorm approaches, and we may be trapped in the studio until June. Please send coffee.) But we do have a quick concert report
Flopcast episode 715! With the Mayor away on special assignment, it’s a quick solo show with Kevin just yammering about comic books from 1976.

Flopcast episode 711! It’s our annual holiday spectacular! And once again we’re talking about old Christmas cartoons, because that’s all we care about. But this time, we’re looking at a couple of cartoons we’ve never discussed on the show before, and they’re both based on classic comic strips. (They’re also
Flopcast episode 710! It’s the stupid holidays, so ’tis the season for a Top 4 1/2 List of our favorite holiday dogs! Of course our list includes dogs from Christmas cartoons (compliments of Charlie Brown, the Grinch, the Simpsons, and more), as well as Christmas books and even a goofy
Flopcast episode 709! Every year, dozens of ridiculous identical holiday movies are unleashed by Hallmark, Lifetime, Netflix, and the like.

Flopcast episode 708! Before we plunge into weeks of holiday silliness, here’s something different for you! Five years ago, our friend Amanda decided to run at least one mile in each of the 351 towns and cities that make up Massachusetts. A month ago, she finished. And she’s here to
Flopcast episode 707! As we creep into the holidays, once again we’re looking back at Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parades of the past. (Debbie Gibson is scheduled to perform at this year’s parade, so you should all be road-tripping to Manhattan RIGHT NOW.) We start with the 2015 parade (featuring that
