Beast Coast

This week Adam, Raya, and Geoff sit down to talk about Pitchfork's Top 200 Albums (and Songs) of the 2010s. Who's missing? Who shouldn't have made the list? Why is there SO much Drake? And what is gained and lost when we rank art by ever-changing standards?

Raya, Adam, and Geoff sit down to discuss cancel culture, the backlash against it, and the myopia of being personally invested in the careers of millionaires in the first place.

Raya, Adam, and Geoff are back this week talking control, the elderly, and Moby's terrible tattoo choices.    Editor Note: Raya is back on editing duties and a little rusty. Please forgive the echo this week. 

This week the gang sits down to talk about our Spring cleaning activities. Whether it's physical, emotional, spiritual, or political, now's the perfect time to take stock of what you need and get rid of what you don't.

This week the gang talks about that sweet, sweet Green New Deal and how to get your Grandma Ethel and cousin Becky on board.

This week the gang examines the nadir of 90s nostalgia and dissects Weezer's tumultuous history - the highs, the lows, the really low lows. Does their discography paint the picture of an artist falling to pieces? Or is Rivers Cuomo a record industry plant? Is it better to burn out than to fade away?

Augmented experiences? Psychotropic therapy? Pup Play? We uncover what the government doesn't want you to know about the future, all while examining multi-generational nuance in our exploration of "temporary tech"!

We share our thoughts, hopes, and fears for 2019 and beyond, and finish up by discussing the biggest pop culture personnel changeup since Marcel left Friends.

We humbly look back on three years of being The Velvet Underground of leftist podcasts.

Raya is back to discuss matters of local governance and outrage of national prominence. Who is responsible for the MAGA children and what is to be done?

What the marriage of a Japanese school administrator to his holographic wife teaches us about personhood in the 21st century.

We dive into the history and cultural impact of everybody's favorite problematic secret agent. In the final segment we're joined by Raya to discuss the future of the series after Daniel Craig. We're also joined by Geoff's dog Mavis, who had some (unintelligible) thoughts of her own.

Adam, Geoff, and Shane discuss a wild week of news and explore the psychological effects of living through a decade of World Historical Events. What happens when The End doesn’t arrive?

Friend of the show Corey Pein (@coreypein) joins our esteemed panel of French political experts (Adam, Raya, and Shane) as we dissect the Yellow Vest protests. Come for the baguette jokes, stay for the butchered pronunciations!

Get your fidgets spinning and pull up that weighted blanket. Raya joins us to discuss the experience, science, and commodification of anxiety.

You CAN go home again. We just did. Bam. Welcome to 1998, new fish.

Hey everyone! We're off this week, but with all that's been happening in the world, we thought you might enjoy this episode we did last December with Virginia Delegate and DSA member Lee Carter (@carterforva). We talked with him shortly after his upset victory about how we can help in our communities here and now and build democratic socialism moving forward.

We talk to Raya's sister Leah (wait, she has a sister? is this canon?) about cons, cosplay, crossplay, and roleplay. Don't worry, Geoff helps us out with the vocab.

Ahead of the centennial of the 1918 Armistice that ended it, Shane and Adam explore the causes, conduct, and cultural impact of the Great War. Lots of book recommendations if you nerds are into that sort of thing.

We explore the promise and peril of two artificial intelligences teaching one another. What can Generative Adversarial Networks teach us about our world and ourselves? Also, Geoff reviews computer generated celebrity porn videos.
