Smell the Analog
13/10/2019 Duration: 01h15minThis newest episode is our reboot episode. Save the World is now Smell the Analog. What does that mean? It means taking a step back and trying to appreciate things the way we used to before the digital age. Do we still talk about digital media? Of course. But it's about appreciating it the way we did back when you had to wait to go to the book store, music store, comic shop, etc. for a new release, and before you had algorithm guiding your decisions. On this episode we discuss collecting, the Uncanny X-Men, Sturgill Simpson's new album Sound & Fury, and much more. Stop and Smell the Analog? It's about being patient and enjoying the search.

Fathers Day Harmonica Serenade
16/06/2019 Duration: 01h32minAnd we are back with a Happy Fathers Day episode dedicated to everyone whether they are a father or not. Unfortunately we encountered some audio problems for the first fifteen minutes so if it becomes unbearable please jump ahead. We discuss some comics and gifts we've received before jumping into our book club discussion about Michael Chabon's Kavalier & Clay. That led us into talking about the differences that make a book a good story or good art. Michael then jumps into several books he's recently read, Piers Anthony's Sos the Rope, James SA Corey's Tiamat's Wrath from the Expanse series, and William T. Vollmann's The Dying Grass. This naturally leads the guys into The Great British Baking Show and the Kid's Baking Championship, the History Channel's series Alone, ultimate fighting, the NBA, the joy of sports community, nerdiness, and fandom, and the story of Hank Gathers, Bo Kimble and Loyola Marymount's run at an NCAA basketball championship. And that's just the highlights! Enjoy the show and
