    The 13th episode of RUSHMORE, a list podcast that covers a cornucopia of topics! Your hosts are Micaiah Albert and Josh Gallegos, two friends who have a passion for conversation. It's been far longer than we anticipated between episodes, so we have delivered a doozy for you! This time we're joined by good friend and Star Wars expert Ryan Troutman to chat about a series that is near and dear to each of us in different ways: Star Wars. This one had quite a few hot takes. Please enjoy!

    The 12th episode of RUSHMORE, a list podcast that covers a cornucopia of topics! Your hosts are Micaiah Albert and Josh Gallegos, two friends who have a passion for conversation. After over a week of school under our belt, we get together late at night to talk about a surprisingly awesome topic--books made into movies! From The Count of Monte Cristo to Harry Potter to Dune, we chat about what makes a good book-to-movie, and what pitfalls they often fall prey to as well. Which is better--books or movies? We answer that and more. Please to enjoy!

    Top Play Productions - Rushmore Ep. 11

    The 11th episode of RUSHMORE, a list podcast that covers a cornucopia of topics! Your hosts Micaiah Albert and Josh Gallegos, two friends who have a passion for conversation. A new look and new sound accompany this new episode! We're just very grateful to have actually been able to record this episode, especially since we lost the original taping of it at the start of July. What a summer it's been! As we stare into the abyss that is teaching in the fall, we take a moment to reflect on our personal histories with the stage. In addition to conversation, we both share a passion for speech, and specifically theater! The list may be limited to shows we've personally seen, but that doesn't stop us from talking about everything from Hamilton and Wicked to Captain America: Brave New World. Listen and enjoy!

  4. Top Worst U.S. Presidents - Rushmore Ep. 10

    Top Worst U.S. Presidents - Rushmore Ep. 10

    The tenth episode of RUSHMORE, a list podcast that covers a cornucopia of topics! Your hosts Micaiah Albert and Josh Gallegos, two friends who have a passion for conversation. What can we say? It's been a year! (I accidentally deleted Ep. 9 when uploaded this ep. so that appears to be a 2025 episode when it fact it is from July 27th, 2024, just for the record). We recorded exactly 11 months after our last episode--so we discussed that year! Then we decided to put together an "Anti-Mt. Rushmore," the mountain of shame instead of glory, as it were, and propose our top 4 (bottom 4?) worst Presidents in U.S. history! Brace yourselves, guys, this one is riddled with conspiracy theories and nerdy video game talk. Excited to be back!

    Top Ancient Battles - Rushmore Ep. 9

    The ninth episode of RUSHMORE, a list podcast that covers a cornucopia of topics! Your hosts Micaiah Albert and Josh Gallegos, two friends who have a passion for conversation. In a first (and hopefully not last!), the guys have a guest host! This week, our friend and colleague Aaron Blanchard has joined to teach us a thing or two about ancient history and its best battles. We also talk the value of studying such a subject, and all in all it turned into a fabulous conversation! Enjoy!

  6. Top Figures in U.S. History - Rushmore Ep. 8

    07/27/2024

    Top Figures in U.S. History - Rushmore Ep. 8

    The eighth episode of RUSHMORE, a list podcast that covers a cornucopia of topics! Your hosts are Micaiah Albert and Josh Gallegos, two friends who have a passion for conversation. First off, apologies for the now-late upload! We recorded this episode while the entire country was still reeling from the attempted assassination on Donald Trump, which by the time of this upload has ALREADY faded in the public mind. Due to technical issues and visiting family, this episode is going up much later than intended. That being said, we were inspired by the indomitable figure of Donald Trump, so we changed gears from a previous planned list to instead our top figures in U.S. history (or top American citizens is another way of thinking about it). We have some really great discussion around the picks and around HOW to pick, and we finish the episode by recounting our experiences hearing about the attempt on Trump's life. It is a longer episode but a really great one! Hope you enjoy!

    Top Animals - Rushmore Ep. 7

    The seventh episode of RUSHMORE, a list podcast that covers a cornucopia of topics! Your hosts are Micaiah Albert and Josh Gallegos, two friends who have a passion for conversation. On this episode we spend a good amount of time catching up since we went our separate ways a month ago, then jump into discussion on the slightly lighter topic of animals. And turns out we absolutely love animals (I mean, who doesn't?) We also give a couple of stories about run-ins we've had with animals in the past. Please to enjoy!

  8. Top Superhero Movies - Rushmore Ep. 6

    Top Superhero Movies - Rushmore Ep. 6

    *EDITOR'S NOTE: Unfortunately, my (Josh's) audio file was recorded incorrectly from the get-go, which led to some poor audio for me (Josh). I profusely apologize, I did my best to salvage what could be salvaged. The sixth episode of RUSHMORE, a list podcast that covers a cornucopia of topics! Your hosts are Micaiah Albert and Josh Gallegos, two friends who have a passion for conversation. This week we tackle a topic we are deeply passionate about - superhero movies! In fact, the boys are so passionate that we ended up spending nearly 50 minutes on our honorable mentions alone (which we compensate for by cutting the second segment). We also talk about Josh being Micaiah's thorn in the flesh, and this episode includes some of the highs of excitement and some of the controversy of differing opinions. All that to say, it is truly a mighty episode! Please enjoy!
