This is our first episode after Passover, and we have a lot to discuss: the danger of a life of Somali piratitude, Nazi trivia, and the oddity of Hitler’s birthday being the same day as Pot Day. Of particular interest is Zee’s recent stay in prison, due to (we are forced to assume) him having killed a man in Reno, just to watch him die. Join us for the story and other post-Passover festivities.
A little circus goes a long way . . . Dead Air goes to the circus, specifically the Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey’s Circus, the Greatest Show on Earth!! Really, they told us so. Listen in as we discuss the clowns, the cannons, the elephants, the dogs, and the protesters. Don’t try this at home!
The anonymity of the Internet has granted the citizens the world over the ability to achieve the status of super-heroes, making anonymous vigilantism a real possibility. Are these people just deluded fools? Almost certainly. Join us as we discover that when Arabs protest, they always take things just a little too far.
The Madoff scam finally hits Dead Air, as we discuss the financial and social implications of the greatest scheme ever perpetrated on Wall Street. Is there any possibility that we can examine and understand such a massive and far-reaching disaster, providing real solutions along the way? No, they can’t.
We discover that technology is running away with us. The burgeoning fields of prosthetic limbs linked directly to your mind, books that read themselves (a la The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy), and the exciting new advances in the science of teledildonics.
It’s the second part of our annual Oscars show. Listen in as we discuss how bad Hugh Jackman was, how few people watched, how poor our picks were, and how badly The Dark Knight got hosed. Also, how terrifying Shirley McLane looked.
Print media is dead, right? Not so. Join us as we discuss the various new forms of print and the written word, including the wave of new memoirs that have been spawned by the blogging age. What are the last five books you read? Remember, Sudoku doesn’t count.
