    "Let's Talk About Kanye" swapcast w/ Vox Popcast

    Three weeks ago, I sent Vox Popcast host Chris Maverick a text message to suggest we do a swapcast about Kanye West's latest scandalous incidents. That was three or four scandalous incidents ago. On today's show, Mav, special guest Meron Langsner and I run headlong into the fray and discuss the increasingly unacceptable Kanye West, his anti-black and Semitic rhetoric and how he and similar loudmouth jackasses like him (Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, Donald Trump) actually gain popularity the more openly vile they become.

    Interview w/ former WWE Producer Ryan Katz

    Interview w/ former WWE Producer Ryan Katz

    This week, we are joined by former WWE Producer RYAN KATZ. With a long history in the wrestling business as a performer and a reputation for wild creativity, Ryan was the first employee hired to work at the WWE Performance Center when it was preparing to open in 2013. But after 8 and 1/2 years of working with the likes of Dusty Rhodes, William Regal and Triple H to foster the next generations of WWE Superstar, Ryan was let go amidst yet another wave of pandemic "cost-cutting".



    Now, hear from Ryan himself about being hired, being fired, ideas that were left on the table, how he managed to get over with The American Dream, how he rescued Regal from an uncertain medical fate after His Lordship was injured during a trip to Costa Rica, how he influenced the creation of Hit Row and more. Plus, hear from this experienced developmental producer about what indie wrestlers should be doing to start and build their careers!
