For as long as I’ve known Pete, he has sat on an incredibly cool morsel of news. It’s something I never pressed him to mention on-air because, frankly, it was his business. But, given what’s been one of the largest stories in the news this week, I thought it was […]
Netflix’s latest show (or close to it, they launch five of these damn things a minute), Mindhunter, is an exploration of the FBI’s first forays into investigating serial killers. It is incredibly well done, but, damn if some of the dialogue isn’t incredibly disgusting. I mean, couldn’t they have talked […]
How naive of me to think that Hugh Hefner dying would be the worst thing that happened to this country this week. The Papa’s Basement Show mourns the passing of the grand old man of porn, exploring what he meant beyond our first glimpsed breasts. We also debate why modern […]
Fans of the clown-rap (Christ, that’s a genre) group the Insane Clown Posse are known as “Juggalos.” In 2011, the Juggalos were somehow branded a gang by the FBI, despite being nothing more than a white trash version of Deadheads.

There isn’t a lot of food in this country you can’t go out and eat on a whim. Give me 15 minutes, I’ll give you a gyro stuffed inside a lobster served on a bed of basmati rice. So imagine the piquing my interest received when I learned of the […]
Much like 80% of the adult population, if Netflix has given me a show with which to escape the drudgery of my life via a binge-watch, I will hop on that faster that a cat on a laser pointer (hello, Narcos season three). So imagine my surprise when studio guest […]
We recorded this so long ago that I don’t remember its actual content. So, instead, as an SEO experiment, I’m titling the episode “Top Comedy Podcast.” So if someone looks for the “top comedy podcast,” they might find “Top Comedy Podcast.” And now you know that I have neither brains […]
I’ll keep this short and sweet: Despite it being the 10th anniversary of the show (yay, me), a lot of bad breaks occurred that kept us off the air. I discuss everything that has happened with the show in these past few months with friend and consummate radio professional Othman […]
My apologies for the fact it’s been three fucking weeks or thereabouts since the last episode of Papa’s Basement. I promise I have sorted out the issues that plagued us and I’m recording a new episode by the end of the week. But, in the meantime, I figured it wouldn’t […]
