There are a lot of noir crime thrillers in the world, but most modern ones have a problem digging too deeply into the noir part of the equation. “Killing them softly” does away with the winding plot and instead gives a simple premise, with a simple resolution, and a world so real in its crappiness you can kind of smell it. Maybe it’s a grime thriller? It’s certainly the best at it if you’re into this sort of thing.

Episode 351 - Killing Them Softly

I've made bucket lists before. What's changed is that at this stage of life, my goals are very different. I decided it was time to start a new bucket list. Looking at it now, this is very different from anything I've done before.

Creating A Bucklist After 50

The thing that shaped me most as a grown-up and an artist was the cornucopia of cartoons during my childhood. 

My childhood was shaped by Saturday Morning Cartoons. It was a glorious childhood.

During the day, I’m a radio host working for public media in Rhode Island. I’ve spent almost 30 years of my life as a broadcast journalist, most of it in radio. I’m fascinated by people who want to share their stories, and everybody’s got a story to share. ￼

Born on the Sunset Strip. Buried by grunge in ’92. Reborn in eyeliner and gasoline in ’25.

Velvet Drägönne rises from the ashes to reclaim the crown of excess — a revival of glam metal, arena rock, and hard rock attitude — dripping with neon nostalgia and modern edge.

Glam rock never died — it’s been plotting revenge. ⚡️
