Magnus and Matt goof around a bit, then talk about self-care and surviving the relentless onslaught of bad news. Also, Neil Young.

This show is a total blast. Pinball restoration artist Ashley Ludwig takes us through the process of rehabbing old pinball machines, and we reminisce about our misspent adolescence in arcades.

Carter joins us to talk about food, art, and food as art! Really fun conversation about the creative process, changing perspectives, literature, and how to save yourself from a possibly demon-possessed barfly.

Rochester Hardcore History's Greg Benoit takes us back to the days of basement shows with a look at the local hardcore punk scene of the early 2000s. We play some great songs from some bands you might remember, or might want to hear more of. In any case, this is one to play LOUD!

Green Party State Senate candidate Brian White joins us to discuss why he's running against Rich Funke to represent District 55. Brian is one of the most candid and passionate people we know, and his enthusiasm for doing his civic duty is inspiring. This is a great conversation, don't miss it.https://www.brianwhite4senate.com/ (https://www.brianwhite4senate.com/)

From drawings to murals, Shawnee has been creating art and making the world a pretty place! She has always been one of my favorite people to have random chats with, so we have no idea where the conversation will take us.

Magnus and Matt banter about March for Science, Ron Funches, wrestling, And Heathcliff. Also, a beefy trivia question and a special appearance from Stacey from Airwreck Radio. So much show, you’ll be shocked it fit into an hour!

On this show, we expand the mind of Magnus with the graphic eye of Hi-Fi living with 2 talented authors who have studied the vinyl record art mid-century America! Our guests are Janet Borgerson and Jonathan Schroeder, authors of the book “Designed For Hi-Fi Living".

There are certain people you meet in your life, some have a certain energy that is all their own, some have a vibe unlike anyone else you’ve crossed paths with... and Seth Faergolzia is one. We are most happy to say that this artist, musician, and all around great guy will be joining us this Monday to chat. We quite literally have no idea where the conversation will lead, but those are some of our favorite shows anyway
