Beast Coast

We eschew current events entirely and deep dive into the video games that defined our childhoods. Happy 25th Birthday, Myst!

Remember when the greatest threat to Western Civilization was political correctness? We do. We dive into one and a half stone cold classics of 90s reactionary GenXerism - PCU and Demolition Man - to figure out why a decent, law-abiding rabble-rouser can't get a goddamn hamburger.

Shane and Adam catch everyone up on what they've been up to over summer break. Then they discus the decline of Futurism as an ideology and aesthetic. How did we get from Dr. Jonas Venture Sr. to Dr. Jonas Venture Jr. in just one generation? Also, new music from friend of the show @lilbadsnacks!

This week Geoff, Raya, and Adam sit down to talk about why millennials are hell bent on killing everything boomers hold sacred...like Hooters?

This week we once again welcome journalist and author Corey Pein (@coreypein) to the show to chat about the recent Unite The Right II "rally" in DC and why direct action gets the goods. 

Raya joins us as we talk to Rebecca from @swapfoods about how what we eat defines who we are. We then make slight detours into generational nutritional warfare and the Western Pennsylvania - Southern Michigan key party scene.

Gather round folks - this one's one humdinger short of a hootenanny. We discuss new music genres, reptile anatomy, and do a deep dive into two new j@VersoBooks to help us make sense of our increasingly dystopian surroundings.

This week we talk to Rolo, one of the creators of DSA-LA’s proposed Food 4 Solidarity campaign. We also talk about trade policy, the defense budget, and Adam’s summer internship with ISIS.

This week Geoff, Adam, and Shane discuss self-care. Is a little existential terror a good thing? What is the cure for alienation? Will Geoff ever fix his washing machine? Also, PLEASE consider donating to our friend Sarah's GoFundMe at https://bit.ly/2mnjH6x

This week Raya calls out The Patriarchy and reminds us that dunking on Centrists is not always the best anti-fascist strategy. 

This week we talk to Ryan H. Walsh (@JahHills) about his brilliant book Astral Weeks: A Secret History of 1968 and share some of our favorite Boston stories. We also catch up on the week's news, offer tips for gopher hunting and discuss Insane Clown Posse's history as America's most successful anarchist group.

This week we sit down with legitimate electronic music expert Troy (@_SinPhi) to talk about all the stuff we missed our first time around. We also manage to talk about strange diets, 90s video game soundtracks, and obscure cartoon shows!

This week we celebrate Edith's birthday, discuss Geoff's return to Roller Derby, psychotic AI, and offer advice to incels!

This week we sit down with host of the new podcast Art and Labor, OK Fox (@artandlaborpod @0KF0X), to talk about pretentious private schools, the lasting impact of 1968 on the history of art and protest movements, and the majesty of the Megatherium, the elephant-sized giant sloth of the Pliocene.

This week Adam and Geoff are joined by Jesse, who makes music and produces videos on YouTube under the moniker Bad Snacks (@lilbadsnacks). We sit down to talk about French cartoon shows, vegan synth parties, and why getting outside your artistic comfort-zone is a necessity.

We showed up to deliver out weekly allotment of dick jokes and then this happened. We somehow still managed to touch on French Existentialism, Filene's Basement, the Cynics, Yojimbo, The Big Lebowski, Pacific Rim 2, and Mr. Rogers, among other things.

This week we rub the magic lamp so hard it turns into a monkey's paw, and save our buddy Adam from an existential crisis.

Shane, Adam, and Geoff all sit down in the same room (!) to talk about the rise and demise of the professional critic. We also chat about recommendation algorithms, artisanal Rosé, and the downside of achieving your dreams at 19.

Fire up that 14k modem and join us as we debunk our favorite rumors of the 1990s. Remember: If you don't love us at your Raya episodes, you don't deserve us at our guest episodes.

This week we're joined by singer, songwriter, producer, photographer, and all-around Renaissance man Micah E. Wood (@micahelie) to talk about his creative process, the close-knit Baltimore music scene, and the difference between Greyhounds and Weimaraners.
