This Is Rad!

The entire crew that makes This Is Rad! Get together to chat about their history and experience with the show. They also talk about Kenny G's descent into villainy, navigating piles of fan mail that isn't ours, and turning boys into closets. Plus, we pose the question, what collectable would you brandish to stop a home invader.

Kyle, Matthew, and Laura welcome back two of the greatest guests in This Is Rad! History, Ed Greer (@edgreerdestroys) and Klee Wiggins (@kleewigginssf). Klee and Ed have been our sci-fi ambassadors since the earliest days of the show. We reflect on the evolution science fiction in the last decade. Genre fiction is often reflective of our times and we look at what about our modern times might be reflected in sci-fi. Plus, we've all gotten older. We reflect on a decade of doing the show with two of our longest running recurring guests.   Check out Burnside playing video games at https://www.twitch.tv/stayindoorsburnside [https://www.twitch.tv/stayindoorsburnside]   Get Kyle Clark's I'm a Person: Director's Cut  You can go to www.kyleclarkcomed.bandcamp.com and pay what you want for the full uncut set from “I'm a Person” which includes 20 mins of unheard material, plus an additional 15 minutes of never released bonus live recordings!   Send Us Stuff!

Kyle's almost done with the second issue of Huzzah! and has been watching a lot of vintage cartoons.

Oh boy folks, we've got a barn burner this week. Grant Bubar returns and is freed from the shackles of talking about music to talk about one of his true passions, the Mass Effect universe. He's got pages of notes folks. But wait, that's not all! Due to a series of unfortnuate events, Matthew was unable to make it to the IRL record. So, we're gonna do an additional episode later this week. That's right, this ep is four hours and it's not even a full episode. A shocking amount stays on task but there are also some real good bros talking about feelings around the three hour mark. But truly, they even get back to Mass Effect again. It's wild. If you long for them halcyon TIR days of deep, riff-filled breakdowns of cool stuff, this will give you what you crave. Like The Cha Cha Slide, look out for part 2!   Weekly Rads: Kyle – LOL UK (show) Grant – Dragon Age: The Veilguard (video game)   Check out Burnside playing video games at https://www.twitch.tv/stayindoorsburnside [https://www.twitch.tv/stayindoorsburnside]   Get Kyle Clark's I'm a Person: Director's Cut  You can go to www.kyleclarkcomed.bandcamp.com and pay what you want for the full uncut set from “I'm a Person” which includes 20 mins of unheard material, plus an additional 15 minutes of never released bonus live recordings!   Send Us Stuff!
