“Every parent in this is, in their own way, a predator.” -Jeb Lund On the latest pod, writer and co-host of the It’s Christmastown podcast, Jeb Lund joins Matt and Vince to dissect The Wire season four episode ten, “Misgivings.” Alternate title for this episode: “Misgivings: Bub’s revenge.” Bubbles finally gets Herc back for walking him into a savage beating in the last episode by siccing him like the rabid dog he is on a clergyman who is definitely not a drug mule. It’s a real double whammy for...

"I wish I could protect Dukie forever.” -David J. Roth This week’s guest has filled a lot of roles on this pod. He’s closed seasons with us, started a season with us, and today, he’s sort of a middle reliever. That might sound like a demotion, but this is a high-leverage episode. The analytics say if we don’t have a good episode this week, we’ll all get demoted to the triple-A of podcasting (one of those Tiktok accounts that just rips full episodes of other people’s podcasts from Youtube and rep...

To talk about season four episode six of The Wire , “Margin of Error.” It’s election day in Baltimore, and you know what that means, right? There’s a sale on heroin! Two for one special on redtops.

As loyal Frotcast listeners may have already known, I interviewed David Grann, author of the best-selling book on which the new Martin Scorsese movie was based, back in 2017. We got deep into what the book meant, the characters involved, why he wanted to write it, what it means, and how he reported it. At the very least, it’s a nice little background/companion piece for the film (which is much different than the book, even if most of the facts are the same). Here’s how I described the book in my...

“He [Norman] doesn’t like Carcetti but he’s still got a job to do, which I love.” -Lyall Behrens You know our guest this week is a true Wire head because his favorite character is Carcett’s deputy campaign manager, Norman. Comedian Lyall Behrens joins Matt & Vince to break down The Wire season four episode five, “Alliances.” This is a great episode for any Herc fans. First, we see him making phone calls for Royce’s campaign, because you know what they say, keep your friends close, and your m...

“Are we to believe… Did Bunk and Freeman kill that guy?” -Kevin Kruse This podcast, in which we splice clips of Wesley Willis’ “Rock and Roll Mcdonalds” into scenes from The Wire , is first and foremost an academic pursuit, so it’s crazy that this is our first time having a professor on the show. Today’s guest is Princeton History professor Kevin Kruse . He takes a break from forcing tomorrow’s future leaders to do gender for long enough to talk to Matt & Vince about The Wire season four epi...

Matt and Francesca are in Fresno with Vince Mancini and do a quick little in-person Frotcast while baby Carina is asleep. We open this week discussing the pilot who chopped down a parking garage gate because it was pissing him off. He's been charged with criminal mischief and suspended from work, but we will happily donate to his legal defense because we believe this man is all of us, fighting back against automation that doesn't work and taking a few whacks for the human spirit. Meanwhile, we t...
