Nostalgium Arcanum

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale of a podcaster and guests, who sit around debating which old theme songs were the best. We're joined by Ami Lief (creepy and kooky) and Ryan Merlo (mysterious and spooky) to round table our top ten TV theme songs.

Monty Python's Flying Circus

And now for something completely different. Monty Python's Flying Circus redefined comedy from the subatomic level up with sketches that were quotable, absurd, and of course, funnier than a dead parrot full of spam. Guest comedians Rich Baker and Ned Record (of the Lost & Confounded podcast and www.nedrecord.com) join us to roundtable our top 10 Python sketches. Burma!

Dazed and Confused

We get older and this classic teen comedy stays the same age. Our bud Case Aiken (Another Pass, Men of Steel) joins us to revisit our nostalgia for Richard Linklater's "Dazed and Confused", the 1976 it depicts, its killer soundtrack, and our foolish teen years where everything seemed so important and, maybe, was.
