Let Me Tell You About...

Tad Beckerlmtya.com
Tad Becker and a co-host share personal stories and sift through the weirdness to find the most interesting stories on the planet. Sometimes it's 'only' TIME TRAVEL CRIME and non-military history. Other times they answer the BIG QUESTIONS. The ones NO ONE has the GUTS to tackle. Like, why my peepee hard? Some example shows are: Being arrested outside of a comic shop, the more-than-a-friendship of Gilgamesh and Enkidu, shutting down Neopets, the unending terror that is Homestuck, the unending terror that is living in Russia, filming and acting in three feature length indie films, dreams with legitimate sequels and the Emperor of the United States. Each episode we find something new to gawk at with our Eagle-Eyed listeners.

Aleks Rants About Danganronpa For Just Under 3 Hours [Part 1]

Aleks shares the highest hopes and the deepest despairs he experienced while going through the Danganronpa series. (The Audio only RSS feed didn't like the episode being so long so I split it into two halves.) This is a departure of sorts from our normal form (as you might tell from the episode being almost 3 hours long) but we had a lot of fun with this one so I decided to post the episode anyway.
