Weird Al vs. Everybody Episode 21: "Smells Like Nirvana" 28:53

4d ago28:53

28:53

Thirty years after the death of frontman Kurt Cobain, Nirvana and their music still feel very close. Does that have anything to do with Weird Al's equally "defining" parody, a track that let Al "sell out" again after the disastrous UHF experience...with a band at the bleeding edge of the sell-out conversation? The shroud of tragedy, the performance…

#125 Cracking the Winning Code: Paul Roos shares his leadership wisdom 1:09:47

I've always been fascinated by successful leaders and coaches. Why can some make it happen and others not?

The everyday stuff called matter turns out to be both more fascinating and stranger than we usually assume.

It's an all-time training-montage banger vs. Weird Al's vision for Rocky XIII in today's episode, as we drop Wiki factoids, contemplate an all-depressing-follow-up-hits season, digress at length on Live's legal battles, and wonder when in Reagan's presidency the Me Decade became sentient. Greetings from the Sly Stallone industrial complex; get that…

Whose revival? Which Christianity? CS Lewis & Owen Barfield on the renewed interest of belief in God 41:05

11d ago41:05

41:05

There is much talk of a revival of Christianity amongst secular intellectuals, at least in my cultural bubble. That may or may not be sociological significant and church attendence figures stay in marked decline. But what interests me is not so much the numbers as the spirit of the renewed interest. What is the feel of the Christianity being discus…

You can't always control what people do with your art once it's out in the world -- something Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits may have learned the hard way with both the original "Money For Nothing" AND Weird Al's re-imagining of the song via a dream sequence in UHF.

It's always puzzled me how those who bring us the most laughter often battle the greatest demons. Dan reinvented himself after an underwhelming AFL career and became one of Australia's most popular podcasters. But reaching this success off the footy field has been a hell of a mental battle. We spoke about : Dan's childhood Becoming a no.10 pick in …
