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 […]
To me, meditation is like Communism: Interesting in theory, Hell in practice. I mean, who can stand to sit in the stink of their own awfulness without chasing it away with your iPhone or booze for more than a few moments? But our own co-hostess Sara somehow is not able […]
In news that will shock literally no one that has listened to the Papa’s Basement Show, I have been compulsively watching HBO’s newest program, The Night Of.
