  2. Lights Off

    Episode 560 Wednesday-night news-and-nonsense session from the sewer. Nick opens with life updates: a new real job, a day on the set of the horror sci-fi flick Ego Death, and a THC drink that hit way too hard. He digs into Podcast Robot for the Podcast Index, AI music on the podcasting circuit…

  3. Screamers

    Episode 559 It's Halloween season in the sewer! Nick the Rat ranks 21 iconic horror movie screams from Amaze Balls all the way down to Piss Poor, including Jaws, The Shining, King Kong, Halloween, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Hereditary, Possession, and The Wicker Man. Which scream took the top spot,...

  4. Moist Yonic fall

    Episode 558 Nick the Rat Radio rolls in on the first chilly night of fall with a grab bag of everything: a possible new job clearing background checks, a wild story about a runner who didn't let a mid-race accident slow her down, Toys "R" Us plotting a comeback, and yet another round of Loch Ness...

  5. Candy Court

    Episode 557 Nick the Rat cracks open a torch seltzer and dives into the week's weirdest science headlines — a full fruit fly brain map with 130,000+ neurons, and researchers implanting human brain organoids into living mice. Between rants about AI, Black Mirror plot holes, and a very confused…

  6. Ghosted Hard

    Episode 556 Grab a Dr. Pepper and settle into the sewer for a spooky-season kickoff that goes off the rails fast. Tonight's episode covers a buggy Halloween video game review, a Friday the 13th licensing horror story, Indian recruiter chaos during the job hunt, a Reacher season 3 rant, and Long...

  7. Sewer Confessions

    Episode 555 Boy's night in the sewer gets weird fast — Nick cracks a high-potency THC seltzer live on air and things go sideways from there. A dermatologist trip turns into a full skin-diagnosis breakdown, a caller talks drones, wind vortexes, and DJI surveillance paranoia, and the two of them...

  8. Robot Rapture

    Episode 554 Nick the Rat comes at you straight from the sewer with a full dose of 2026 dread. Nick breaks down his new side hustle training AI (yes, he's literally getting paid to help the robots learn), reacts to Bill Gates' essay on which jobs might survive the AI takeover, and dives deep...

  9. Costume Chaos

    Episode 553 Nick the Rat Radio comes in hot from deep in the sewer — open phone lines, a Modena cancer trial that spirals into CRISPR conspiracy talk, a Spirit Halloween costume crawl gone completely off the rails, and an extended AI-generated bit about MLK's FBI tapes that has to be heard to be...

  10. Witch Please

    Episode 552 Welcome back to the sewer, everybody. Tonight Nick goes full conspiracy theorist with a spicy (and completely unhinged) theory: the Salem witch trials never happened the way you think — they were staged BY witches to protect themselves, and they've been quietly running society ever...

  11. Sewer Fungus

    Episode 551 Nick the Rat Radio gets weird fast — Nick recaps meeting Lavish from Behind the Schemes IRL (and scoring a coveted Casio GBX-100), then spirals through a grab bag of chaos: Einstein's double-cousin wife, a fake(?) Perez Hilton meltdown, a tragic NYC e-bike death nobody's explaining...

  12. Xmas in July

    Episode 550 This week in the sewer: no music, no AI gimmicks, just raw rat radio. We crack open a 1989 Sears Christmas catalog and lose our minds over $700 pearl bracelets and Pee-wee Herman watches, pay respects to John C. Dvorak with some heartfelt (and heartbroken) voicemails, and dig into Sam...

  13. RIP John C. Dvorak

    Episode 549 This week's episode of Nick the Rat Radio opens heavy — a rough week of sickness, a dead microphone, and the loss of podcasting legend John C. Dvorak. Nick shares tributes from Adam Curry and Chris Wilson, takes emotional calls from longtime listeners, and reflects on 20+ years of No...

  14. Final Fluidity

    Episode 548 Nick the Rat is back, rambling through a chaotic Wednesday night filled with Magic: The Gathering gripes (including that disappointing Star Trek set), second-degree burn updates from an overzealous solo session, and passionate pitches for “dick lotion.” He reviews board game hauls…

    more
  15. Popcorn Panopticon

    Episode 547 Nick the Rat crawls up from the Brooklyn sewers with a grab-bag of end-times energy — mourning the collapse of his favorite podcast, ranting about the video game industry's layoff apocalypse, and reviewing (poorly) a $22 pack of pens from Staples. Things take a darker turn when he…

    more
  16. Syphilis Sewer Secrets

    Episode 546 Nick the Rat is back with a second-degree burn on his paw, a burnt-out voice, and zero filter as he dives into a wild grab bag of underground news. This episode kicks off with a chaotic urgent care story, then spirals into the shocking real history of the 1940s US-government-funded...

  17. They Stole Dead Babies

    Episode 545 The US government ran a secret global operation to harvest bones and body parts from dead infants without anyone's consent — and it was all to measure nuclear fallout in human tissue. Tonight Nick the Rat breaks down Project Sunshine, the classified AEC program that hired law firms to...

  18. Trickster Mind

    Episode 544 What if the thing you're trying to avoid is exactly what your brain is steering you toward? This week on Nick the Rat Radio, we go deep on the Trickster — the ancient psychological force that every culture on Earth independently discovered, and how it's now hardwired into your nervous...

  19. Demon Code

    Episode 543 Nick the Rat crawls out of the Brooklyn sewer for Episode 543 with a deep dive into the oldest obsession in human history — demonology. From ancient Mesopotamian clay tablets and King Solomon's grimoire to Elizabethan spirit mediums and the Loudun possessions, Nick traces 5,000 years…

    more
  20. RAT LIFE

    Nick the Rat Radio Episode 542 There's no live show this week — because your boy is strapping you to his back and taking you through a full day in the Brooklyn sewers before hopping a flight to Charlotte, NC. Hard-boiled eggs, loose leaf tea, watching the garbage truck run a red light, and a full...

  21. They Vanished Completely

    Nick the Rat Radio Episode 541 Scientists just confirmed it: a entire civilization built 35,000 stone monuments across Europe, dragged quartz boulders 60 miles to place them on fault lines with surgical precision — and then disappeared without a war, without a fire, without a single written word....

  22. Baltic Bedlam

    Nick the Rat Radio Episode 540 Nick the Rat is sick, pantsless, and on a mission. Episode 540 kicks off with a rant about Google Maps burying street names under business ads, a meditation on robot Frank and his box-flipping career, and some hard questions for John Stewart about who actually gets...

  33. EPISODE 529 : Fight the Urge

    What if the chaos unfolding around us isn't random — but by design? We dive deep into Gnosticism and the concept of the Demiurge: the false creator god that ancient mystics warned us about, and why its fingerprints are all over the modern world falling apart in real time. Plus: vanishing jobs…
