Never Forget to Remember to Podcast

Space Malls feat. Kevin Hurler

The boys are joined by journalist Kevin Hurler (@notkevinhurler) to talk international sabotage, the imminent career resurgence of Wanda Sykes, and privatization of the International Space Station.

Never Forget to Remember to Podcast

The boys are back from an extended August vacation on the shores of Lake Geneva, right in time for 9/11. We delve into the significance of the date some 21 years hence before going on to discuss topics including but not limited to : the hidden secrets of another body of water, Roomba fifth columnists inside your home, and the newest humiliation in the never-ending series of affronts to our nation's great cartoonists and lithographers.

Time Crisis : Operation Pre-Cum

The boys go deep on one of the early aughts' biggest Spielberg bangers: The Minority Report. A classic in many ways, we delve into the ways in which the steely-grey dystopia of mind criminals and time cops both captures and is eluded by the Present Moment in the year of our lord 2022. Please excuse the various dog noises.

Voight Kultur Kampff

We're back as the number one fast food discussion podcast. We also digress into things like the impending decline of the rent-a-servant economy, the recent tyrannical actions of the Biden Admin re: one of America's favorite treats, the Google chatbot affair, and recent reports of a hoighty-toighty cult of fancy lord fauntleroys inside that selfsame company.

Ivan Meets VR Joe

We pop off the top of the show with a little memento mori vis-à-vis the untimely demise of the DHS' Disinfo Squad which was a recent feature here on the Ow. Then we check in on La France and their holy war against the mongrel English language via the shock troops of the 21st-century culture wars: gamers. Then we spend the rest of the show trying to make sense of this country's insane gun culture and it's relationship to the internet, school-shootings, and tech-based efforts to redress it that are proving woefully inadequate. As part of this, we dive into Mack's excellent recent piece in Gizmodo that you can read here [https://gizmodo.com/axon-police-vr-virtual-reality-training-empathy-taser-b-1848970313] about fancy new VR interventions in police training and their effects or lack-thereof on our boys in blue.
