Union of the Snek is such a weird tune and even weirder video. But I will say- 80s Duran Duran totally holds up! Simon LeBon is one of the great underrated singers of that era. But yeah- what was all the obsession with borderlines in the 80s? And the international spy motifs? I call it ‘cocaine espionage music’. Glenn Frey, Christopher Cross….nobody’s hands are clean on this one.

I’ve been listening to the podcast since the beginning. The Thad Russell days.

Favorite episodes? The one with Jesse Singal talking about the “American Dirt” controversy was absolutely hilarious. As were many

others of course. But my favorite would have to be the one from 9/11/21. According to the show notes, Moynihan sent a text saying “I feel like talking about 9/11”, and a few hours later a new episode dropped. I had a really tough drive that evening and was grateful to have some company. Thank you for that.

Cocaine Espionage Music is so, so good…. Simon Le Bon is criminally underrated as a chorus/harmonies writer…

Need to track down the Jesse Singal episode. American Dirt-gate was one of the most fascinatingly stupidest controversies ever.
