To celebrate the recent release of the new Space Jam, we're releasing the basketball episode of our multi-part Sportstacular. In this one, Steve and his brother Dave, an enthusiast for the cultural ephemera of sports, cure Joe of his general apathy towards the game with a selection of hits from the likes of John Tesh, Kurtis Blow, Aaron Carter, Alan Parsons, and even Big Shaq himself.

Crazy Frog is still crazy after all these years. Join us as we piece together the history of this annoying mascot for shameless musical capitalism based on an mp3 made by a Swedish teenager in 1997 and prepare ourselves for Crazy Frog's new quarantine album which, by our calculations, is certain to be at least a Pitchfork 6.  Twitter: @turnitdownpod Instagram: @turnitdownpodcast Email: turnitdownpodcast@gmail.com

Is it an existential crisis or a boring song? In this episode, Steve guides Joe on an illuminating journey into the expanding consciousness of dorm-room pop singer/producer turned poet and podcast philosopher Mike Posner through a thorough critical exegesis of his 2015 song 'I Took A Pill in Ibiza' to celebrate the start of his highly publicized walk around the entire United States (no, really). Mike, we hope the walk is going well...
