WA2G - BOB IN THE MORNING
Tracks on tracks, on tracks.
All Pennywise All The Time
Should hardcore bands change with the culture or stay in their lanes? Is Linkin Park a thing I should have to hear ever again in my life? Is doing music a frivolous pursuit that leads otherwise good people to ruin?
No Handsoap PA is WILD
How not to respond to festival announcements.
The One With Jay Mindforce
As advertised.
When The Tour Flyer Looks Like a Takeout Menu
The mutual benefits of showmaxxing.

Thor 2 Soundtrack: Outlawed Under the Geneva Convention
Gag reflexes; Leatherface; Chat Pile; false humility; the forgotten end of 90s hardcore; the mania for ska that gripped Shelter.
Kevin from Public Opinion
Kevin comes by to tell us about two records he believes are being slept on and why Denver is an isolated landlocked island surrounded by fog.
Happy [Holiday]
Whatever you celebrate, just don't get murdered by an eastern euro you wronged on a reseller an auction platform.
Mongo Lifestyle Choices
Some quick nostalgia for New York record stores, way too much talk about Electric Frankenstein, and how much gimmick is too much gimmick.
Knox from Enforced pt 2
This one is divergent.
Tragedy2000
Can you believe gossip? Tragedy. Integrity. Van rentals. Becoming Joe Biden. Where to send your complaints. Being bad at religion.

Free alcohol, tobacco, and firearms.
Knox from Enforced pt 1
Knox comes by to talk about some records you may've overlooked.
Postin' Up w/ My Boy Post
Some guesses about the future made on this podcast recorded yesterday may be void today! Or maybe not. It's difficult to tell, because everyone online lies. Also would you take a photo with Post Malone.
Sam from Anxious
Sam, bassist of CT's own Anxious, got on the horn to tell me about records some of you may be sleeping on.
Falling Back To Move Forward
This week's episode in video format, as a special treat for those who like to watch men talk.
The Fickle Tickle

Do People Still Go On the Internet?
What nuked the Bridge 9 Board? Are we about to see more barriers at shows? Remember Rivalry Records? And more! We put ourselves to the crucible that is listener questions.
This Thing Of Ours
Spider-Punk, musicians you wish you could get more from, dubious ska, and Alex Jones. This one's got it all.
The Right Rooms
Booking agents are your friends and also your enemies. Judge and 108... what room would you try to fill with that bill? How many casuals does it take to fill a 1000 cap? And the Kissing Bandit got dropped.
When Crate Digging Goes Wrong
Impugning a whole label, then walking it back when you scroll the catalog and realize there's some heaters. Where do you go when the options are procore or metalcore and you just wanna wear a cutoff sweatshirt?
Cringe Comes For Us All
Is there ever a time as a musician to drop all mystique and be the aging dad or struggling retail worker everyone secretly knows you are?
Hellfest 2002 Sunday (Sunday In Hell)
What were we doing? Did we actually stand and watch all this? Jesus.
HELLFEST 2002
Because why not?
What Makes It Pop Off?
LDB Fest pit report from Patrick; what makes a good mix of HC, adjacent, and uncanny valley bands; regions and scenes; keeping a show safe; facepaint; snowplows; beatdown; watching versus doing; who likes what and why. Boom.
Not Financial Advice
Money, travel, and the arc of hardcore's history. Not in any order.
Haters Lie In Wait
Bane is back. Scowl has new music. And old hc kids are being round up and executed by the Youth Police.
Madball Internet Discourse Returns
People are click clackin, so we joined the conversation. Also, saying things you regret online, carrying beefs, and local time travel.
