    Pigs on the Wing
    Dec 2 2025

    On December 3rd, 1976, a 30-foot pig flew over England, disrupting air traffic and scaring the manure out of a rancher's cattle. In this special anniversary episode, we'll share the timeless tale of the photo-shoot for the Pink Floyd Animals album cover. And we'll consider what it may have to do with Orwell's novel Animal Farm, and whether that book still has anything to teach us in America today.

  • A Big Black Cloud Over Ohio (A Haunted Road-Trip to Witness Nick Cave)

    A Big Black Cloud Over Ohio (A Haunted Road-Trip to Witness Nick Cave)
    Nov 10 2025

    The absolutely true story of a journey to witness Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds in concert, with some silly and supernatural surprises. This doesn't contain any music samples, but refers to "Jubilee Street" (I recommend the Copenhagen live version), "Tupelo," "Wild God," "Conversion" and "Into My Arms."
