The boys are back and they are (yet again) talkin' dialectics! Joined by the nicest guy in Pittsburgh, Roman from The No Judgement Zone podcast, we take a deep dive into the shifts in American popular music post- 9/11. From the decline of popular counter-culture in rock, to the uber-patriotism of country, to the evil machinations of the record industry to hyper-exploit hip-hop; the superstructure adjusted in the chaos to fix the problems of the Vietnam era and return to an era of censorship, reaction, and jingoism. What did this mean for radio? What did it mean for music? What does it mean for us now? Find out on this episode!

Episode 16 - Clear Channel (Fuck Off)

Covid is back on the rise. Everyone is depressed. The boys breakdown the latest Delta Variant wave of the coronavirus pandemic and the time-is-a-flat-circle nature of American history. Then to try to lighten the mood, we talk about the movie Osmosis Jones (2001). From the guys that made There's Something About Mary (1998) comes the niche biological buddy cop comedy about a plucky white blood cell detective and his cold pill partner Drix going toe to toe with a deadly pathogen inside Bill Murray. What is it trying to tell us about society? Listen and find out!
