Ep. 41: Is Record Store Day worth it? Our thoughts!

Record Store Day or RSD, if you're into the whole brevity thing started off as a great idea, to get people's attention back into supporting independent record shops and luckily for us, this also helped bring about the resurgence of vinyl and vinyl collecting a couple of decades ago. But as with every good idea, doesn't always stay as pure as the intent might have been? We do a little digging around and add our collective two cents into the conversation of whether this biannual event is worth it for the consumer and the locations hosting these events. Plus catch up with what we've been watching and listening!

Ep. 40: Do you really want to hurt me as played by the cancel culture club

This week's topic is "cancel culture". We know, we know… There are no other phrases that might deter people quicker than a heart attack. Well maybe "tax season" or maybe "doctors visit "and a favorite "visiting our parents house". Anyway, we don't just start naming people and listing off all the bad things they did even though we kind of do but also we try to get into the thought process of what people mean by cancel culture because it's not just one thing and it hasn't been one thing for a long time. A very long time as you'll find out. And you'll also maybe find out that it's not actually about cancellation since nobody really gets canceled but we've already said the word cancel a whole lot so just listen to the episode. Plus catch up on what we've been listening to and watching!

Ep. 39: If you are a false, do not entry! a.k.a. How many gates have you kept?

Chances are, we've all gate kept something we've enjoyed as an entertainment at some point or another. Maybe some of us are thinking we are doing it with the purest of intentions and maybe some of us do it just to be complete jerks but in this episode, the fellow talk about some of the examples they've experienced, some examples of gatekeeping that they themselves have done in the past or maybe continue to do and they try to get into why exactly this weird phenomenon of trying to be selective about who gets to enjoy what keeps coming back up in every facet of every subculture we've experienced. Plus catch up with what we've been listening to and what we've been watching!
