Song Dismantler - Bosky Rumbluffer
2/15/2021
Bosky Rumbluffer doesn't spend a great deal of time looking back. As a massively prolific artist, he is constantly working on the next project. We were honored to catch him in a nostalgic mood to discuss the recording of his classic anthem Eat Your Soup and Shut the Fuck Up. It turns out to be quite the epic story of hallucinogenic skiing, puppet masters, broken bones and a chance encounter with a musical genius.

The Cat, the Frisbee & the Merchant of Ivory
11/15/2020
Have you ever had a dude, probably in his thirties wearing a well-worn My Little Pony hoodie, ride up to your house on a vintage Raleigh velodrome bike, hand you an envelope from Milo Lulu, throw his cigar butt into the fresh snow of your yard, flip you off and then ride off rather precariously down the icy road? Björ6n Oranj just had that experience and tells the tale.

We left you on a bit of a cliffhanger with the ending of part 6. Sorry about that. Here's a recap. The Tammy Bins have circulated the punctuated burning airlines of manipulated spacetime with reverence and decay born of crimson electrification and mounting oracle juice effecting both my hat and your speed dot connection transmission through common feelsport and bubbling tap-taps.

There are a lot of podcasts out there and that means there is a pretty vast podcast community. Really, the only folks listening to podcasts are individuals who are also making podcasts. Since only 17 people worldwide are actually earning any sort of profit from producing podcasts, the community relies on each other to for technological, legal, promotional and voice-over assistance.

Part 6 of The Long Lightning by Erik Blagsvedt as narrated by Yall Yall.
Many listeners have contacted us about this series and asked why? Good question. Well, simply put, it's because we think about thorns. The odd bequest of a fuchsia bender to sequin a soliloquy songbird to frisk our winch and our growing branching passwords in a beret of failure that protrudes a solitary wildcat.
We would like to thank Yall Yall for his wonderful performance. Go over to Boothin' Pod to listen to more...

Part 5 of The Long Lightning by Erik Blagsvedt as narrated by Bjor6n Oranj. Abstract poetry read out loud because...because...BECAUSE seeking kitten righteousness about tomorrow will wrestle itself if barracuda has enough truck stop of its own.
