(We have picked a name for uncensored the Pete, Othello, Papa show. POPcast. Tada.) The show begins with Othello revealing he has tried Arby’s new gyro (listen to the show to get his take) before exploring a bias against the chain from a very unlikely source: The Simpsons. And I’ll […]
On the way in to the station to record this episode, co-host Pete and I heard REO Speedwagon’s “Keep On Loving You” pop on the radio. Because being a superb wealth of useless trivia is one of my skills in life, I explained to Pete that the song, despite seemingly […]
While working at WJFK many moons ago, I became good friends with Othello, the producer who worked the shift before me. Through the years, we’ve often talked about doing something – anything – creative together during countless trips to Hooters where we ate away our frustrations with life tot by […]
Metallica released a new single – its first in I believe eight years (I ain’t looking that shit up to confirm) – the other day. And it rocks. And I couldn’t be happier. It’s been so long since I’ve cared about this band that very few of you know this, […]

Well, after eight years, I have finally gotten off my gigantic Greek ass and come up with a way to make a few coins off the Papa’s Basement Show. (Actually, that’s not entirely accurate: Patreon came up with it.) What is Patreon, you may ask? It’s a company that lets […]
(As a preamble to the episode description, I want to present this link to the Papa’s Basement Patreon. For those unfamiliar with Patreon, it lets you contribute monthly to smaller content producers – like us – that you love. The link also has a funny video we took months working […]
