Podcasts I Dig


During this summer there a lot of stuff to do with hands and eyes or walking around so here's how I entertain my ears when I'm not listening to the ton of music I love!

Politics:

Even More News: I am not a political fellow by any stretch of the imagination but I enjoy the well researched work of Cody Johnston and Katy Stoll as they review world events and serve it up with a sarcastic heaping of snark. Also check out the Youtube channel Some More News. I'm sure it will infuriate you to no end.


The Daily Show Trevor Noah and his team of newsie comedians have a podcast version of the show.

Horror:

Scary Stories NYC: Instead of bending to the popular allure of True Crime I personally like delving into the seedy underbelly of this city in Scary Stories NYC! Correspondent Peter Bernard leads the brigade on Alien disturbances and the latest whereabouts of Dogman, Bigfoot, and other urban legends in this New York based exploratorium of the weird and wild. You should check out their Youtube Channel and their Podcasts.


Wild Women:

Those American Girls are a long running animated band of musicians and social media influencers who's mighty tendrils reach into music, comedy and even politics! But have they come to save modern society or destroy it? Judge for yourself!

Fish out of Agua: Fascinating storyteller Michele Carlo spins classic tunes and interesting yarns on Radio Free Brooklyn but you may listen any old time here

Real Professional Podcast: Jackie Cheng (NY) and Jessica Stern (Florida) are 2 comedians that are up to shenanigans! They are constantly bugging out and cracking each other up. As a person who strives to live a life of controlled life of mindfulness (I do not imbibe beer nor consume cheesefries) I do however get a vicarious thrill from listening to these ladies that do not give an F and aren't scared of burning things down to the ground. Like a modern day American version of Absolutely Fabulous but more extemporaneous.


Comics:

Dare2Draw's Creator Code: The great organization Dare2Draw has a lot of cool things going on including a show for all things geeky and quirky I have the pleasure being a part of!

Fatman Beyond with Kevin Smith and Marc Bernardin have the pulse on the comic world so much that news sources are now quoting them. My personal favorite is Marc a quick witted Haitian American guy from the Bronx that is a kick ass writer. He is kind of the Robin Quivers to temper Kevin Smiths Howard Stern

Emergency Awesome: I've been down with Charlie since he was giving "Hi Fives" He's one of my favorite go to commentators for all my favorite nerdy stuff.

Scene by Scene with Josh and Dean: Comic Artists Josh Neufeld and Dean Haspiel go through the movie version of Harvey Pekars American Splendor with a fine tooth comb,  Interjecting their person experiences with working with Pekar, humor, comic wisdom, deep research and industry insider stories. http://scenebyscenepodcast.com/

Cartoonist Kayfabe: I dig Ed Piskors work of Hip Hop Family Tree and Xmen so I'm happy to see he also has a deep love of comics! Teaming up with fellow Pittsburgh cartoonist Jim Rugg they do this deep diving comics podcast. If you dig visuals you can watch here!


Veganism:

Main Street Vegan  Victoria Moran one of the nicest people in the world. She did a book called Main Street Vegan who's non preachy way of presenting information and her personal experiences, left me to draw my own conclusions  thus helping influence my transition to veganism and changing my universe.  https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/unity-online-radio/main-street-vegan

Big Fat Vegan Radio: Comedian Laura Yaz and Drag Queen Honey LaBronx who's music, humor, intelligence and compassionate sassy spirit brings forth the vegan realness on  http://bigfatveganradio.com



Ska:

Ska Parade: Tazy Phyllipz is the long standing pinnacle of Ska shows! the Skafather a tastemaker and top DJ with a deep history of Ska plus a really cool cat! 

Readjunk: Rock photographer and graphic designer, Bryan Kremkau leads the Ska filled ReadJunk Podcast

Marco on the Bass: While Marc Wasserman isn't playing bass for Rude Boy George or many other cool bands or writing a book on Ska he has a cool blog and podcast!

100% Ska Podcast:  From the brainchild of NYC DJ Ryan Midnight spins dat Ska!

Duff Guide to Ska Long time Ska Bon Vivant. Steve Shafer has told the NYC area and beyond  whats what in the Ska universe! Respect!

Skatune Network: I've gots to give props to Jeremy Hunter from Floridas We Are The Union. He is an ultra talented artist and unashamedly vegan!

Comic Books and Alan Alda vs Burgess Meredeth on Naked City

Lately, I've been on this Naked City kick, renting them from the library and such. The latest episode, the opening episode of its fourth and final season, "Hold For Gloria Christmas" had a fantastic story with Burgess Meredeth as this alcoholic, beat poet in the village (filmed on location) with this cool poetry showdown with a very hip Alan Alda going toe to toe with Meredeth.


My favorite fanboy moments from this great episode are incidental. Two times the visit the newstand on Christopher St. and the first time theres a new copy of Amazing Fantasy #15 (the first appearance of Spider Man)

This all must have been filmed August 1962 because later on Adam Flint (Paul Burke) returns to grill the blind newstand owner and whats there but "Journey into Mystery" #83 (first appearance by Thor)

Do you desire to see this fine episode? if you are into downloading torrents the episode is available on mininova!

Checking Out the Museum!

The Metropolitan Museum of Art: Today was the last day of the Gustave Courbet exibit so I went down to go get some culture but I must confess I had ulterior motives! I really went to check out the exibit on Superhero fashions. Well how was it? Fanboyilly speaking it had some cool stuff like Christopher Reeves Superman outfit as well as a faded Lynda Carter, Wonder Woman outfit from 1976. Two spiderman outfits, Iron Man proto type outfit , Batman outfit, Catwoman outfit. Mystique from the X-Men movies and a bunch of corny fashion outfits that were supposedly inspired by superhero looks. as my dear comic coveting homeboy Delmo Walters Jr would would exclaim: TWY AGAIN! Dont even get me started! The coolest thing they had was premire issues encased of course but so close you could drool on it. Action Comics 1, Tales of Suspense ( first Iron man apperance) Marvel Spotlight first appearance of Ghost Rider, and a whole bunch of others! It totally won me over it was totally worth it being in the same room as those books!
