This Is Rad!

This week we continue our makeshift “Summer of Indoors” series with a visit from past guest and friend of the show Alexis Quasarano to chat about the classic children's science education series The Magic School Bus. But we're not just talking about Miss Frizzle and her students adventures through the body and into outer space in book form. We're not just chatting about the TV show and it's banger of a theme song. But today, to fit with our theme, we are looking at The Magic School Bus through the lens of their 90's CD-Rom games. Lot going on this episode, but a good time is had by all.

 

Weekly Rads:

Kyle - Color Changing light bulbs (light source)

Matt - High Score (documentary)

Alexis - A Frasier Bong and Niles Bong (bongs)

This week Kyle and Matthew are joined by the delightful and hilarious Andy Iwacio for a chat about the beat em up genre of video games. This classic genre has some great weirdness to explore. From mohawks to the eating food out of trashcans for heath, the beat em up's influence is still felt today in games like God of War and Dark Souls. Plus, we discuss the fine art of the DJ drop. Lot of silliness in this one. Enjoy!

This week Kyle and Matthew are joined by longtime friend of the show Adam Crosse. Adam has been a radster since the early days and we're very excited to finally have him on the show and as a bonus we get to talk about rad manga and anime! Adam runs us through what the hell Jojo is and we explore in detail the first few stories so if you're somebody who worries about spoilers maybe hold out until you've watched the first 3 seasons of the book or manga. But our retelling can't possibly undermine just how weird and wonderful Jojo is. So grab a mesh t-shirt, get your stand ready, and strap in for a fun episode.

 

Weekly Rads:

Kyle - Drawing / You Can Draw in 30 Days by Mark Kistler and Christopher Hart’s Humongous Book of Cartooning (books)

Matthew - RTJ4 - Run the Jewels (album)

Adam - skatoon network (YouTube Chanel)
