Please sign up to play my fantasy football game at klubhouse.gg Mat Cothran of Coma Cinema and Elvis Depressedly joins the podcast to talk about conspiracy theories, Nintendo 64, and keeping music authentic even when it becomes your job.  Mat’s a cool guy, I hadn’t met him before we played a show together and even then I didn’t get to talk to him all that much (I was filling in in that band and was grinding away at the songs like it was homework I forgot to do before class.) But really enjoyed this conversation and I feel like I got to know him pretty well just kind of chatting through whatever. I went a bit longer on this one, mostly because I was having a good time, but also I feel like it’s a better flow to the conversation. Let me know if y’all like the longer episodes.

My Mom joins me to talk Serial

This is a very special episode featuring my Mom! I wanted to bring her on the podcast to follow up my Serial podcast because she was one of the first people that really had me see through some of the stuff the podcast was doing that created doubt in this case. And also because I think my Mom is wildly entertaining (ask anyone that was at my wedding reception, she stole the show!) Anyway, this is going to be my last podcast on Serial sadly. I think I've said everything I ever have to say on this lol. But thank you all for your support, and please check out Klubhouse.gg if you want to support me.

Evan Cohen on Digital Art and Designing Band Posters

Evan Cohen (@evanmcohen) joins the podcast to talk about his viral artwork, creating band posters, making a living off art, and the danger  of AI slop in the artworld.  I’ve known Evan for years through a mutual friend, we met when we were in college, and I’ve been following his career ever since. It has brought me a tremendous amount of hipster joy to point to a poster of his artwork hanging at a friend’s house and I get to say “oh is that Evan Cohen? Cool guy. I knew him back in college” and then I get to be all self satisfied and arrogant for a while. It’s the best. But I am not kidding that he is a genuinely cool guy and great person, and was very happy when he agreed to be on the podcast! Music by How Strange It Is, brought to you by Klubhouse Fantasy Sports

Serial Talk: Why Am I Still Talking About Serial?

So I've been asked to make a podcast episode about the 2014 podcast Serial, that covers the case of the Murder of Hae Min Lee. To start, this isn't a podcast about who did it. Adnan did it. I'm pretty well convinced, like the jury, that there is more than reasonable evidence that it was him. Instead these podcast episodes are going to be a deep dive into Serial, and Sarah Koenig, and how the podcast itself creates doubt for the listener where there really shouldn't be any. I wanted to make the videos I made to point out that even if someone says they are objective, that they claim neutrality, their actions can still be wildly biased. And, more specifically, that if you fail to be neutral in your reporting, but claim neutrality, there should be at least some accountability. Ultimately the story of Serial is the death of a young girl. All the entertainment derived from that act still has consequences against those most hurt by this murder.  I will do an episode by episode breakdown if there's interest in it.
