Flopcast episode 540! We’re back from DragonCon, but not quite ready for our DragonCon review show. (Hey, we were surrounded by Yip-Yips for several days. Readjusting to reality is a process.) Meanwhile, we have this special episode previously available only to ESO Network Patreon members. And the subject is appropriate,
Artists We Wish We’d Seen We all have those artists that we regret never having seen live for whatever reason — work, proximity, cost, or not having been born yet. The Modern Musicology gang talks about some of their favorite artists we wish we’d seen, including Prince, Bowie, Roxy Music, ELO, Elvis, the
For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Jen or Lil’ Bit in con circles. I created the Dragon Con Parties, Meetups & More group on Facebook back in 2019. In just a few years, we’ve grown to over 4,500 members. That same year believe, I also
It’s DragonCon weekend! So while we’re flopping around our favorite convention, please enjoy the return of Movies With the Mayor! This time Kevin and the Mayor of Chickentown are watching and discussing the 1987 made-for-TV movie The Spirit! It’s based on Will Eisner’s classic Golden Age comic book character, and it
If wishes were fishes, we would all cast our nets in the sea. This week’s episode is a bit of a mixed bag. We are talking about my recent birthday weekend, but this episode includes a part of our eighth show. Labour Day weekend is always my birthday celebration time.

The spotlight is on the drummers this week as Anthony, Stephanie and Alan are joined by IRA ELLIOT, the drummer from the band NADA SURF, to talk about what makes a great drummer! We debate the qualities that a good drummer needs to have and cite some of our favorite players, like Neil Peart (Rush), Stewart
With DragonCon just days away, here is your guide to finding Team Flopcast at the convention!

You can’t halt the future, no matter how much you try! My son Bishop comes for a visit! Five months ago, in April, I moved from Timmins back to my hometown of Sault Ste. Marie. This move was 19 years in the making. Fear held me back. Due to a
Songs We Love by Artists We Don’t Love Even bands we can’t stand get lucky sometimes and craft a song so good that we can’t deny them! That’s the topic this week for the Modern Musicology Team — finding that oasis in the desert. Stephanie, Rob, Anthony and Alan excavate some unexpected treasures from bands and
Flopcast episode 537! Laverne & Shirley actress Cindy Williams turns 75 this week, which inspired Kornflake to surprise Kevin with a Laverne & Shirley pop quiz! (This is why the kids love The Flopcast.) Can Kevin identify quotes from various characters, despite not having seen the show in literally decades? And is there
