The Audience Won't Like It

The Audience Won't Like It

Written by: Rob and Leslie Shoecraft
Listen for free

Married hosts Rob and Leslie Shoecraft invite you into their closet (literally) for a podcast that’s equal parts nostalgia trip, music nerd-out, and absurd banter. Born from a joke about how the audience probably won’t like it, the show leans into that spirit—riffing on everything from Star Trek episodes and Kitty Wells deep cuts, to feet, crockpots, and cover songs that live on YouTube thanks to copyright.

Each week, the conversation drifts like two people killing time in line for a concert—unexpected, hilarious, and sometimes strangely profound. Future episodes explore growing up in the 80s and 90s, The Dollhouse Murders, “5 of 5” and borrowed chords in music theory, bodybuilding meal prep, Wu-Tang Clan, Gordon Lightfoot, Alan Thicke, Herb Alpert, and whatever other rabbit holes pop up along the way.

If you like side tangents, forgotten pop culture, and covers of songs your mom might love, you might just find that you do like it after all.

  • Ice T, Sam Rockwell, Ben Kingsley & Carole King: Movies & Music | Ep 35
    Jun 8 2026

    We bounce from a beloved audiobook rabbit hole into a three-movie gauntlet, then end with a classic Carole King song that somehow ties the whole night together. We argue about what makes a movie “good,” quote the unquotable, and try to decide whether a time loop diner story is genius, chaos, or both.
    • finishing Dungeon Crawler Carl book eight and why the audiobook narration matters
    • loving dense RPG style lore that you can skip or obsess over
    • explaining the Jeffries Data Sheet and why it helps people jump to any topic fast
    • talking growth, subscribers, and how we share the podcast with friends
    • debating movie quote culture and inventing clean swap words for R-rated lines
    • reviewing Surviving the Game as peak 90s action cheese with a stacked cast
    • breaking down Sexy Beast as a tense British crime film powered by Don Logan
    • unpacking Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die as time loop, simulation, and satire
    • ranking all three movies and admitting our tastes do not match
    • digging into Carole King’s “It’s Too Late,” cover versions, and why it still hits
    Like, subscribe, share, tell your friends, look up something on the Jeffries.

  • The Wanderers (1979): Everything an Adolescent Boy Wants, Nothing He Needs | Ep 34
    May 25 2026

    We stand “in line” for an Outkast concert and let the conversation wander from parenting math and bedtime TV to a full-on breakdown of a movie that entertains us while also making us feel genuinely uneasy. We end in our happy place, geeking out over Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik, why Outkast keeps evolving, and what it really takes to learn a song well enough to perform it.
    • third-child “dog years” and what content feels age-appropriate
    • why 24 still works as a cliffhanger machine
    • the Jeffries Data Sheet and why we want it to become a searchable app
    • What We Do in the Shadows as a mockumentary and the Norma Tanega theme song
    • The Wanderers (1979) as coming-of-age drama with genre whiplash
    • the classroom scene, what it normalizes, and why it hits so wrong
    • soundtrack highs, scene pacing lows, and the parts that feel unresolved
    • Outkast’s debut album, Organized Noize, and Southern hip hop history
    • covering rap songs by singing the whole verse and practicing with intent
    Hey, why don't you go ahead and write in um the comments? What age, what yeah, how you think it works? Dog years for the third child. Way in on that.

  • Media Moms: TV & Movie Mom Q&A + Jimmy Buffett Cover" | Ep 33
    May 11 2026

    We turn Mother’s Day into a pop culture draft and argue about which fictional moms feel like real parenting. Along the way we share what’s been hectic at home, what we’re reading, and why Jimmy Buffett’s “Six String Music” is such a perfect low-key song to cover.
    • switching to every other week for a bit to protect quality
    • building the Jeffries data sheet to track references, covers, and recurring bits
    • quick detour through David Allan Coe, Shell Silverstein, and why “just kidding” is not a defense
    • what we’re reading, including The New Menopause and practical symptom support ideas
    • Corrections Corner plus our first truly mean comment and why thumbnails work
    • a run of kid events, concerts, and end-of-school chaos
    • media moms questions: stepmom picks, aunt energy, best-friend moms, vacation moms
    • head-to-head matchups and a “protect you from TV dads” scenario
    • Jimmy Buffett talk, concert memories, and the challenge of singing over lead guitar
    • end categories: B-side picks, dream covers, and soundtrack choices
