This week Kyle and Matthew welcome back Rosalie Atkinson to the show. While Rosalie is a near endless font of musical knowledge, she changed it up on us for this episode and decided to talk about the bro-sploitation television empire that is Ghost Adventures. We explore both what is compelling and what is hilarious about the show. Plus, we go deep on the Las Vegas attraction Zac Baggins Haunted Museum. We also learn Rosalie is even more afraid of ghosts than Kyle and she shares with us her own experience with a ghost.

 

Also: Near the end of the episode it is reveals that Kyle will be in a web series adaptation of Fantastic Land! He'll be playing the leader of the circus freak camp, Glennn Guignol. More information soon on when and were you can see it but he's super excited to be a part of the show!

 

Weekly Rads:

Kyle - Homemade Reeses Bars (food)

Matthew - Whose Line is it Anyway? (Show)

Rosalie - The collective awakening that the New Radicals are a great band! (Long overdue cultural realization)

This week Kyle and Matthew welcome nerdmelt family member Lynnette Joy Housky for a chat about Disney's 90's afternoon cartoon line up Disney Afternoon. What they find is that Disney Afternoon is more of a state of mind that a cannon list of shows. But we do talk about Darkwing Duck and Tailspin and Ducktales for a while. So grab an after school snack and hang out.

 

Weekly Rads:

Kyle - Batman Beyond (show)

Matthew - VFW (movie)

Lynette - Office Ladies (podcast)

This week the one and only Laura Knight returns to guest co-host because Matthew lost his voice screaming at the Cleveland Browns. But Matthew could not have had better timing because this week Rad welcomes longtime friend to the show Richard Eden for his first ever solo appearances. What subject could these two titians of Rad combine their knowledge for? This episode is one of the rare treats were we have two talented experts chat about their jobs as graphic designers. In the past year as Kyle's been studying visual art, he's learned graphic design is a thing. So take a seat next to Kyle as he uses this opportunity to learn about graphic design from two talented designers. But don't worry, just because this episode has some educational value, don't think we don't go off the rails a few times to side tangent about Supernatural, Canada, and any number of other topics. As Kyle says at the beginning of the ep, this one is a real humdinger.

Richard has been kind enough to produce a reference list for this episode

This week Kyle and Matthew are joined by music teacher, concert percussionist, and drummer for the incredibly rad band Sad Park, Grant Bubar for a chat about classical music. Grant shares with us how his study of music and working as an orchestral musician has given him an appreciation of classical music and he hopes to share some of what he loves about it with us in the hope that he can make getting into classical music less daunting. We get into the what defines classical music and why the best known composers are best known. Plus Grant gives us a few lesser known or recently rediscovered composers that are starting to be added to the cannon. But, like any good music episode, there is also plenty of talk about modern music, playing music, and the science behind music. We had so much fun with this ep that we will definitely circle back to this later on for a deeper dive into how to listen and what to listen for. If you've never dabble in classical music, this might give you some ways to explore it without feeling totally lost.

 

Bonus!

Grant made a spotify playlist so you can explore some of HIS favorite and essential classical pieces:

As Matt shares on the episode, he recently had a tragic loss of a close family friend and her daughter. The family has set up a gofund me to help her surviving husband and child.
