    VANDER JAM GAIDEN: New Mic Who Dis (PS I'm Gay)

    Gooooooooooooooooooooooood morning! And welcome to 2024! Auld Lang Syne and so on. Mayor's back in the booth, ringing in the new year with a new mic, new meds, and new love. I swear this episode had a point, but alas. Come along on a magical journey as I talk about the value of kindness, off label usage and its relationship to Heidegger, and how absolutely dope I look in this Faye Valentine shirt. Please agree to an interview. Please. @vander_iam iamhowardvander@gmail.com www.ko-fi.com/mayorvander

    VANDER JAM GAIDEN: Joan and Other Famous Didions

    Gooooooooooooooooooooood morning! I was depressed and didn't want to fight the urge to self harm, so I sat down and started talking. A classic mayoral unspooling of thoughts, and true to form, it actually does come together in the end. Come along on a magical journey as I dish about American New Realism, the importance of separating art from artists, and I take half an hour to explain a joke I was going to make. @vander_iam iamhowardvander@gmail.com www.ko-fi.com/mayorvander

    VANDER JAM GAIDEN: C++ and The Rest Is Sus

    Gooooooooooooooooood morning! Your mayor was feeling isolated and decided to fix that with a bit of the ol' pontification. Didn't really have a plan or point but it all came full circle anyway, much like life itself. Come along on a magical journey as we talk about operating systems and user control, aggressive toy and snack branding, and how a willingness to love is the most heroic act of all, or something. @vander_iam iamhowardvander@gmail.com www.ko-fi.com/mayorvander

    VANDER JAM GAIDEN: Hannibal Electoralism, Lain Parties and the Vietnam War

    Gooooooooooooood morning! It's the Mayor, back in the saddle and live from Seattle (not really). Decided it was a good time to unspool some thoughts, so I made coffee and I did. Come along on a magical journey as the mayor goes through it on air a bit, reflects on how culture has passed him by, and has a surprising number of clear memories of Archie Comics. @vander_iam iamhowardvander@gmail.com www.ko-fi.com/mayorvander

    VANDER JAM GAIDEN: THE YEAR OF LIVING VANDEROUSLY, or: YOU GOTTA KEEP 'EM LEGALLY SEPARATED

    Gooooooooooooooooooood morning, muckrakers and heartbreakers alike. Your mayor has been away for some time, and that time ends now. Decided to check in and get back to what I do best (buncha dumb b******t). Come along on a magical journey as I shake off the ring rust and talk about changes in life, the power of determination, how quitting smoking is indeed possible and whatever dumb American play me and @mediummhollow are gonna tackle next. @vander_iam iamhowardvander@gmail.com www.ko-fi.com/mayorvander

    Smile Because It Happened, or: My Hat and My Coda

    Goooooooooooooood evening. One last ride with the mayor? It's been an incredible journey and so many bizarre and hilarious experiences came of it. None of it really "should" have happened, but it did and nothing can take that away from you. And by you, I mean me. This episode is as close as it gets to discussing what the Vander Jam "means." Too many people to thank here, but I absolutely couldn't have done it without Hollow and Josh. Listen to Nicepilled. Love somebody. And stick around to the end. Just remember to shut the lights off. @vander_iam iamhowardvander@gmail.com

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Theorists, or: Cowabunga's Ambition

    Gooooooooooooooooooooood morning, lets chase away the season transition with a double barreled blast of awesome right to your face and also balls. I'm sitting with friend and frequent returning guest Fredo Fabcrucci (@utwitily) to see what's new in his world. We didn't actually talk about his personal life because we spent an hour discussing ninja turtles. Come along on a magical journey as we discuss surprisingly holistic canons, finding the cool / crude balance, and that one goddamn jump that ruined an entire generation. Major thanks to @utwitily

    Family Values Tour feat. My Wife and Kids and Also A Dog, and Primus

    Gooooooooooooooooood morning! Lets stave off seasonal affectative disorder with a little warmth and conversation, shall we? And who better to start the home fire a-burnin' than my friend and online wife, @sarah_asabit, and a bunch of surprise guests? Come along on a magical journey as we talk assignable personalities, education policy, what's wrong with cis-men, and which episodes you should never, EVER play with children in earshot. Major thanks to @sarah_asabit @vander_iam

    Habitat Engineering and The Sound of Norman Finkelstein

    Goooooooooooooooooooood morning! The mayor flows like water but he's not as swift as Mercury, and I decided to prove it. We sit down with beloved friend and bon vivant Mercury Mori, and while I don't learn who any famous women in history actually were, it ended up being a hoot all the same. Come along on a magical journey as we discuss critters with lanyards, various cultural mythos that explain Alan Dershowitz, and the satisfaction one can find by tending to their own pig first. We make a lot of beaver puns. Enormous thanks to Mercury, go sign up at www.onlyfans.com/mercurymori @vander_Iam

    Philippians 4:13 - The Very Last Vander Jam

    Goooooooooooooooooooood morning! It's the Vander Jam, for the last time ever, I swear. Been a fun ride but all things must come to an end. And seeing as none of this would have happened without @mediummhollow, figured I should treat him to dinner and close up shop the right way. Come along on a magical journey as we discuss the functionality of aesthetic objects, the distinctions (if any) between science and any other form of mysticism, and Howard talks about ERP in a Polish forest. Thank you to @mediummhollow for friendship, guidance, and everything else a good man will do for you. @vander_iam
