It's Like a Podcast or Whatever

Hey Loved Ones. I know. It's been a while. But such is life with season 7 of ILaPoW. We just can't seem to say goodbye. Maybe we don't exactly want to. In the meantime, let's call some friends up and draft the greatest advertisements in local Detroit history. Joining us are Detroiters and Michigan State Aye Cee and Jeaux Hayden along with recent visitor to the D and Black enthusiast. Obvious Nonsense's own Malikai Unique. This is actually a make-up pod as the first attempt was a ROYAL...

The boys are back in TOWN! Handsome Bane, Showin Madlov and Kuma da Grizzly get together for one more round of fantasy. We draft Things that we know we probably shouldn't do, but it turns out the juice is totally worth the squeeze! These acts. whether immature, illegal or immoral, are so satisfying. they have to be done. We also get in touch with Aubrey, our resident Superhero, the Unfriendly Blerd Hottie for a lightning round of her own picks. It's a packed show. So take your time and enjoy...

Handsome Bane and Killer Potassium, Everyday Rogue open the House of PoW to former guests and friends of the pod, Joe Hayden and Chantelle "Teacher Bae" Ramirez for a fun fantasy draft of fictional educators. What develops is a serious look at American education and the dramatic overhaul it needs. Don't worry. It's still pretty funny.

A slightly inebriated Handsome Bane takes you back to his days as a middle school student in the 90s. The topic, as you may be able to guess from the title of the episode, is Gangsta Rap. We don't get deep into the politics of yesteryear. But looking back, we're not sure if any of us NEEDED to have access to this. The songs of the day are: Ice Cube You Know How We Do it Eazy E Real Muthafukkin Gz Warren G and Nate Dogg Regulate

We're firing on all cylinders as we bring back some familiar voices (@gorillamonk), welcome some friends back (@maweezy) and introduce a new friend (@chocobobutt). We fantasy draft wearable items in pop culture (comics, anime, cartoons, etc.) that we would like to own. And not just cosplay, but the ACTUAL item. Bane, Mike and the cosplay pros go 5 rounds in this fun episode. Follow us on the Twitter and the IG @ila_pow

Yes. We are still borrowing the AFE concept. Please don't sue us. Handsome Bane is joined by friend of the pod and real life hero, Aubrey Loveman (aka @unfriendlyblerdhottie) and Hyphen Podcast Group co-defendent, @showinmadlov (We Should Do This Again Sometime film pod).

WELCOME TO SEASON 7 of It's Like a Podcast or Whatever, and what better way to start the season by ripping off one of our favorite podcasts, All Fantasy Everything? We (B Hyphen, ShowinMadLov, Mike Lam, Everyday Rogue, HB and one his very best friends, Teri aka PuddinAnn) are gathered here today to draft our favorite celebrities who passed on to Glory in the year 2020. With last year sucking as badly as it did, it took the lives of a lot of Loved Ones. So instead of trying to choose just...

WELCOME TO TOASTER LEAVINS 4! It's the best of the rest. Some of the good stuff that got cut from the better stuff. It's very adequate entertainment. Jeaux talks of his time as a stunt rider. Savannah Summers talks Simpsons and Covid Maweezy has no idea what day it is. MIkal Mosely has audio issues. K-Rock is too careful. Some dude gets eaten by zombies. Oroku Saki stops by.

Sup, Turkeys? Welp, we've come to the end of the road...for ILAPOW Season 6. Honestly, we should have called it with the last episode. But our friends were gracious enough to come back to record the season finale. We talk HBO's Lovecraft Country and what we got out of it. We discuss its cultural importance, representation, and whether or not it's worth going through all the Black trauma to watch it. There is also a Homeboys in Outer Space reference in there somewhere. We are joined by...

This is the largest panel in ILaPoW history for pretty much anything. We are gathered here today to sift through the best couples in all of situational comedy to crown ONE TO RULE THEM ALL!! We're not talking about the best show. We're not talking about our favorite show. We are just looking for the greatest two people who exemplify love and support to the highest degree. And who are we? Well, It's just Handsome Bane, Malikai Unique, ShowinMadLov, Bossman Hyphen AS WELL AS former guest from...

Today we have a very special guest coming all the way from the Land Down-Under, Australian Professional Wrestler Savannah Summers. Handsome Bane invites her to the pod to mark out unapologetically. Savannah gives us the details surrounding her journey into the business and what to look forward to when the cloud of Covid lifts off the world. She also tells us who she believes is the best there is currently, her favorite wrestler and just who is the GREATEST OF ALL TIME! This chat was a lot of...

HB starts the show by explaining that his presumed absence last week was ACTUALLY a super presence, because even though there was no ILaPoW episode PER SE, ILaPoW presented the NEW SHOW, EVERYDAY COSPLAY with EVERYDAY ROGUE is out on all the platforms and ready for your consumption! Then he launches into some personal updates, family, living situations, job stuff. Nothing huge. AND THEN we are honored to be joined by Creator of Roger Rabbit, Jessica Rabbit, Baby Herman and Eddie Valiant,...

Handsome Bane makes a very controversial statement about shows and cartoons in the 80s, Friend of the Show, Retro Ric (Super Fan Com podcast) steps up to take him to task. They embark on a journey down Memory Ln. that is going to make your nostalgia gland go haywire. They mention some of the staples, but MAN do they get esoteric. In the end, will Handsome Bane's hot take hold heat? Or will Ric extinguish the flame?

Our bro Mike Lamerique took over the pod this week with another edition of The Soapbox. We didn't know we asked for a description of this week's events and this is what he said; "Me, my wife. Taneyri and Janice from "in good company" podcast, currently on hiatus. We weren't really talking about anything in particular, but we were live when we found out about Chadwick." Well there you have it. Enjoy it or we'll steal the batteries out of all your remote controls. Love Trust and Belief

It's the return of Abel Magwitch. Handsome Bane comes back to tell where he's been. Surprise, he's been SUPER here all along. Life Stuff. Work Stuff Whole lotta pod stuff. HB spills his guts about Chadwick Boseman and how Chad and his characters were so inspirational. It's sad. It's the sadboi hours segment. Then your benefactor gives you not ONE...not TWO...BUT THREE SAMPLES of the show he's been executive producing (it's actually called Dick Wolfing in the biz). So there's a lot to hang on...

Hey Sugahs! Everyday Rogue here on It’s Like a Podcast or Whatever. And we’re taking a look at Cancelled Convention Culture.

But convention-goers have a particular kind of resiliency so we are checking in on our fellow cosplayers and photographers to find out what they’ve been up to during this quarantine and beyond. And here with us today are J. Jester, Jessica Leigh Cosplay and Kevin Brophy.
