141 - 97 Fingers
We're freestyling the concept and premise of a sprawling sword & sorcery/survival horror epic, after we diagnose the problems of today's youth, eulogize Steve Albini as much as he deserves it, pontificate better ways to approach open-world gaming than the endless side-questing and modifying, and discuss our favorite shows a little bit.

We kick off the show talking shop and breaking down pretentiousness as laziness, then move into the current state of mediocrity in rap music and what makes Kendrick one of the worst to ever rock the mic. Also: who dissed Drake best? And "can I say it?" We miss you, DMX. patreon.com/agitator

Customer Reviews
This podcast makes me think — and want to think
The NO COUNTRY podcast is the perfect tonic for the news of the world today (at least here in the US). The conversation is often funny, always insightful, and introduces original ideas on a wide variety of topics. It’s all the more interesting because although Kris and David are both clearly intelligent and highly educated, the presentation is more like a barroom conversation, not an academic lecture — which is where many such podcasts fail.
Bow to me splendidly
This show makes me feel smart
Excellent show
JDO is entertaining, as are his guests. I love how the show doesn't really follow a locked down interview format, allowing the conversation to veer in interesting directions. Good stuff, highly recommended.
