Podcast Guest: Pat Harrigan

Episode 100: The Future Is Domes

, with special guest: ,

0100 The AppleDear listeners, we have made it to EPISODE 100! Be prepared to pump power by the hour, because this episode is all about an apex predator of bad movies: the glorious 1980 musical trainwreck, The Apple!

For this momentous occasion, we have been joined by former guests Pat Harrigan (from the Get Off My World podcast) and Eric Knight (of Vilification Tennis fame). Together, we surge with joy about this magnificent glitter bomb.

If you would like to drink along with our giggling, we recommend all of the following: Ali Sangiovese (Pat’s pick), Third Street Brewing Lost Trout Brown Ale (Eric’s pick), or a Two Gingers cocktail (which Windy made from Two Gingers whiskey, Two Gingers ginger ale, and a splash of lemon juice).

Episode 75: Alpacalyptic

0075 Off Topic 5It is time, dear listeners, for our fifth Off Topic episode! Like our previous Off Topic episodes, this one is constructed of bits that were cut out of the previous 14 episodes: gaffs, giggles, tangents, and other random stuff.

Amidst this wandering fray, you will hear the voices of many former guests, including:
Tonya Wershow
Kate Cornish
Kelvin Hatle
Pat Harrigan
Lewis Lovhaug
Cetius Scotchbringer
Eric Knight
Fes Works
Noel Thingvall

And, as usual for these things, our subject matter and level of sobriety will vary wildly from clip to clip. So, buckle in and enjoy!

Episode 72: My Best Friend Turned Into a Cactus

, with special guest:

0072 QuatermassThis week, dear listeners, we are joined again by author Pat Harrigan for an episode all about Quatermass! We get into the nitty gritty of Nigel Kneale’s groundbreaking series of stories: the BBC miniseries, the Hammer Films remakes, the radio show… and even stuff like The Stone Tape and The Year of the Sex Olympics.

If you would like to drink along (and oh, we did drink), we recommend Black Ink wine, because it has a cephalopod on it. It certainly was appropriate to our subject matter.

Episode 65: The Ugly Polyester Carpet of the Soul

, with special guest:

0065 Tinker Tailor Soldier SpyThis week, dear listeners, we get literary with an in-depth discussion of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy: the book, the BBC miniseries, and the 2011 film! And for our discussion, we are joined by the ever-erudite author Pat Harrigan!

If you have not read or seen any version of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, dear listeners, be wary: this episode is loaded with spoilers! We recommend all three versions of this tale, so please indulge in at least one of them prior to listening.

If you feel the need to fortify yourself with alcohol for this detailed exploration of very British things, we recommend a bottle of Cline Zinfandel, which did very nicely for us.

Episode 60: All Up in My Limbic System

0060 Off TopicThis week, dear listeners, we bring you our fourth Off Topic extravaganza!

If you are a new listener, here’s what’s going on: our episodes are heavily edited, mostly because we drink while we record. Most of the things we cut out are things nobody will miss, but sometimes we simply go off on an odd tangent. So, we save all the fun clips until we can just make a whole episode out of them. It’s like Voltron with less planning.

The audio bits you are about to here were recorded between November 2014 and February 2015. The audio quality will vary, the subject matter will wander, and our drunkenness… well, you know the drill. You will also hear the sonorous voices of:

Pat Harrigan
Kelvin Hatle
David Justin
Barb Lind
Meghan Murphy
Gordon Smuder
Sharon Stiteler
Noel Thingvall

Please enjoy our fourth Off Topic celebration. More show notes behind the cut!
