Happy Birthday, America!

This week’s episode features a chat with author EMILY GOULD about cats, controversy, and Natalie Merchant!

Then, Julie recaps ALADDIN and encourages you to spread rumors about the hidden swastikas in its set design, explains why FEED MY FRANKENSTEIN is Cannibal Cop’s theme song, speculates as to whether Annette Bening came on to her, and mourns the waste of Jenny McCarthy’s fake eyeglasses now that she will no longer be on The View.

Salute the Flag!

Merrill Markoe, Brian Stack, Andy Kindler: HWYW Gem Vol. 6

Happy Pride!

This week’s show is a HIDDEN GEMS medley of delights, featuring never-before-heard tidbit/morsels of chats with MERRILL MARKOE, ANDY KINDLER and BRIAN STACK!

Enjoy those gems, pals! And also, relish some brand new observations about why leather harnesses are the best possible things for society, the luxury of being an aging person over irony who just wants to listen to terrible music, a story about a wonderful insane older gal who screamed things about Bush and Cheney at my show, Billy Bob Thornton and Angelina Jolie’s insane sex, and why David Bryne’s hair just screams to have red wine spilled on it.

Enjoy everything!

Max Silvestri “Pellet of Pleasure” Ep. 172

Hola, comrades. This week’s show features a talk with comedian and lover of food, MAX SILVESTRI. Max has a new album out called King Piglet, and he’s going to be the co-host of a new television show called THE FEED. Enjoy Julie & Max talking about baked goods, Bed & Breakfast murder mysteries, patty melts and Hitler. Actually, I don’t think we talk about Hitler at all. My bad!

Also: Thoughts on the new Shep Gordon documentary! The best part of sweet death! (Not promoting live shows) The gross weirdos who click on links that show you what famous babies look like growing up! Roberta at a party! And a lot of thoughts on TAXICAB CONFESSIONS.

Feed my Frankenstein!

“How Was Your Kathleen Hanna?” Premium Extrasode

Happy almost Thanksgiving! Today you are thankful for this exclusive premium extra-sode, featuring an incredible interview with the great KATHLEEN HANNA. Kathleen is the subject of a new doc called THE PUNK SINGER, and she is also a legend and perfect.

Join Julie and Kathleen as they chat about how weird it is to promote a film you didn’t make, the feminism of taking care of yourself, what she thought when she first saw Ad-Rock, and precisely how hard Lyme disease can go fuck itself.

A heart warming episode for you and your brain.

“How Was Your Manson?” Premium Extrasode

Welcome to our first Premium Extrasode! This wonderful couple of hours or so shines a spotlight on Jeff Guinn’s incredible book, MANSON: The Life and Times of Charles Manson. Join Guinn, Julie, Jake Fogelnest and Chris “Spoony” Spooner as we delve into the cultural history of the 1960s and who gets to write it, the context that gave Manson his opportunity, and a lot of stories about Dennis Wilson.

Plus: what our Manson nicknames would be, which (maybe only) part of the book Charles Manson himself probably would have liked, the racism of public transportation, just how bad Manson’s music was, the John Waters/Manson connection, and so much more.

Even if you’re not a teenager in your “serial Killer phase,” I swear, this is essential and fascinating listening. Enjoy it.
