Cold Cut: Our Greatest Hits and Tropes
Every band has its greatest hits. Every TV show has its greatest tropes. We're not any different. In this Cold Cut from TGT 50, Lakin and Pete gab the gamut of topics we've beaten to death many times before, all in one concise 18-minute package.

TGT 51: The Trump Pervasion
The talking continues as Pete and Lakin muse upon the pervasion of Donald Trump. They also muse upon sexual orientation and epigenetics. But somehow it circles back to Trump. Everything circles back to Trump. Eventually.

TGT 50: The Broken Toilet of Existential Dread
The talking continues as Lakin extols the virtues of self-winding mechanical watches and Pete breaks a toilet. Throw in a dash of existential dread and an apocalyptic cover of "Nearer, My God, to Thee," and you have a beautiful day in the TGT neighborhood.

Cold Cut: Good Friday Shiva (Repodcast)
Following up on our repost from yesterday, it's only appropriate that we include the Cold Cut from SSM 4. Here's how we described it way back then: "On this Good Friday edition of 'Cold Cuts,' two Gentiles discuss their preference for Shiva rituals, especially after dealing with their fathers' deaths." Monday, we'll have a brand-new TGT for you. Have a great holiday weekend!

4: (Don’t Fear) The Reaper – Easter Edition (Repodcast)
Given that it's Easter weekend, let's revisit a podcast we recorded in March 2015 that's all about our inevitable fate. Here's how we described our discussion way back then: "Death weighs heavily on the minds of a twenty and thirtysomething as they contemplate whether life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness have passed them by." www.scapegoatsandstrawmen.com
Customer Reviews
Well Crafted & Thoughtful Hilarity
I can think of no better company in my empty apartment during choretime than the dulcet tones of these two gentlemen (and their occasional famous friend guests). I look forward to learning more about impending global disasters of all kinds and encourage you to do the same.
I'm Lovin It!
You had me at 'Spoken Word Musical Theater' :)
Initially disappointed.
I asked for cole slaw, but this podcast came with waffle fries. They were both delicious and, if I'm being honest, a little disappointing.
The podcast though? 5/5. I'd recommend pairing it with a nice, well-hopped lager. Maybe something seasonal, if the mood strikes you.
