Always Swing At Pitches!!!

from Full Blast · host The Makery Network

Another solo ep where I tell stories about how I use humor as a defense mechanism. Spending years working in metal shops where I wasn’t allowed to listen to music out of fear of injury made me resort to remembering strange points in my life and investigating how they informed my decisions later. The stories I told I’m not proud of but I will never ever apologize for. Haha I really swung for the fences this time.

Full Metal RPG The Full Metal RPG Crew Tabletop RPG Podcast that talks about Tough subjects and probably has some fun. Explicit Shut Up I Love It Sasha Feiler and Joe Cabello Many years ago, Sasha Feiler and Joe Cabello met in line for an improv show. They were young, dumb, and full of it. What followed were comedy shows so explicit, “genitalia” was practically a term of endearment.Fast forward 5 dogs, 6 cats, and way too many weird inside jokes later, Sasha and Joe are no longer young or dumb—but they’re still brimming with you-know-what. Here, they’ve teamed up to bring you a podcast where they interview a guest who passionately defends something universally hated, misunderstood, forgotten, overlooked, Mandela-effected, canceled—you name it. The key? They LOVE it. From toupees... to B-movies... to aliens, psychedelics, and the occasional surprise character, Sasha and Joe are here to spread love to the world that birthed them (but maybe should’ve used protection).So come and get that love because no one else will give it to you like we do.Also, don’t forget to check out the Patreon Bonus version of the show:https://www.patreon.com/c/ShutUpILoveItP Explicit Unauthorized Disclosure Kevin Gosztola Become a Paid Subscriber: https://anchor.fm/unauthorized-disclosure/subscribe"Unauthorized Disclosure" is a weekly podcast hosted by Rania Khalek and Kevin Gosztola. It focuses on issues and topics that are overlooked or pushed aside by the more mainstream media.The hosts champion adversarial journalism. Guests featured are often rarely heard or unheard voices. Or they are voices who we think can benefit from a space to have conversations, which allow for dissent and the unpacking of unpopular ideas.SUBSCRIBE on Spotify for $4.99/month and gain access to full episodes instead of clips or highlights from each week's show. Explicit Needless to Say... NTS Podcast In a world full of social divide, does anyone really need another comedy podcast starring four guys in a garage? According to Craig, Brad, Matt and Dave, yes ... yes they do.So, if you were into Opie and Anthony when they got along, Howard Stern when he wasn’t star-humping, or Ron Bennington when he still had a Fez, Needless to Say might be exactly what you’re looking for.
