redux — Mon, 25 Oct 2010 19:41:16 +0000

This episode brings us several questions: What the hell is a Justin Bieber? Why does the world not love True Blood more? How many completely nonsensical words dominate our culture? How could Redux have driven over 3,000 miles and still be denied entry to Canada? Shawshank!

As cable and TV providers battle over whether canceling a major network’s service is a good idea during football season, we debate the current state of television in general. Our very large crowd debates the Late Night controversy, the unfortunate immortality of The Simpsons and Saturday Night Live, and how many networks were going to preempt the State of the Union for the Lost premier.

Spam — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 05:00:50 +0000

While health care is our topic, we seem to get distracted pretty easily. In the midst of debating the current nature of the health care bill working its way through Congress, our extremely small cast gets sidetracked by the question of Weed’s pants, loving a blanket a little too much, and how easy it is to electrocute yourself for some jollies.

Spam — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 05:00:25 +0000

Join us as we discuss Obama’s conquering of news networks to shill for his health care plan, while Sweet Dee gazes longingly at our president in the moonlight. Are insurance companies really just money-making greed-machines? Yes. Yes, they are.

Spam — Thu, 21 May 2009 04:59:39 +0000

Weed brings a lady friend, prompting us to question whether Dead Air makes a good date. Camel spiders and anal fish make an appearance as well . . . so to speak. But the real question is whether our new technology is keeping us from each other. Meanwhile, augmented reality is changing the way we deal with people we don’t like.

Spam — Mon, 04 May 2009 21:36:13 +0000

Join us as we discuss the death of Bea Arthur, our patron saint, as well as Obama’s first hundred days. Craigslist also begins to supply our new serial killers, as well as the newest virus of which we should be terrified. We also discover how crazy Glenn Beck has become, along with the new kind of tea-bagging (no, not that kind) that’s sweeping the nation.

Season 6 – Episode 17 • POTential

Spam — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 23:25:00 +0000

This week we discuss the various benefits and disadvantages of the Sticky Icky, marijuana. Is it better? Is it worse? Is it awesome that our new president freely admitted that he smoked it, inhaled, and is not overly concerned about the message? Yes. Yes, it is.

Season 6 – Episode 15 • Inaugurasm

Spam — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 23:22:24 +0000

We analyze the peaceful transition of power, as gun sales skyrocket in reaction to Barack Obama’s inauguration. Our memories are tainted, politics are revealed, and it’s implied that Sweet Dee has more than a mild crush on the new president.

Season 6 – Episode 13 • Israel & the Internet

Spam — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 23:20:35 +0000

Israel is in a major conflict in Gaza, so the Dead Air crew discusses the implications of the first “cyber war.” We contemplate the various difficulties and challenges of not being the underdog, the blogosphere, and the threat of Internet terrorism.

Season 6 – Episode 5 • Watch Us Change

Spam — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 05:00:28 +0000

As Barack Obama gets ready to assume the reins of American democracy, we discuss our own political development. The age of WYUR, our past and present at Dead Air, and the relative hotness of out interns. In that spirit, we decide to explore the changes we need to make to keep our show fresh and worthwhile, despite our ridiculous age. Join us as we pledge to be more professional, less scattered, and wear pants. Just kidding – we’re not gonna wear pants.
