Podcast The Hero

This week is over 90 mins.  You're Welcome.  This was a fun one for sure. Lots of tangents but the main topic is the Life of a Showgirl.  We break down the new Taylor Swift release track by track.  And it is decidedly not a love fest.  Want a critical review?  This is it.  Plus we have a game and gifts that continue from the last 2 weeks.

This week Fritzy went on Twitch and crowdsourced all of the questions for this episode about All Hands.  We deep dive the song. Animorphs? Sure.  A game about Hands?  Yup.  Better audio than last week. Also yes.  Anything different than what we do every week? Not even a little.

Rody is streaming Mystery Weekend writing on Twitch Wed nights at 9pm ET.

Fritzy is streaming after Rody finishes streaming on Twitch Wed nights at whenever.

Rody and Fritz got together this week for a weekend hang in Whitby which included a pop into downtown Toronto to see Propagandhi at the The Concert Hall.  Fritz wore socks.  Rody is very concerned about Fritz's lack of caloric intake.  He can't see well without his glasses.  In this episode we run down our experience at the show.  How the weekend went.  Apologies for the audio quality.  Fritzy wasn't told that he had...

Trigger Warning: There is discussion about suicide in this episode. 

This week's episode is ostensibly about Scurrilous smash hit C'est La Vie.  But let's be honest, this is Podcast the Hero, so how much time do we spend on it?  Not a ton.  We do dive into a chat from the Discord, talk about what we are gonna eat this weekend, and the VMAs.  We have game straight from the 1980s and some great gifts.

This week we are joined by Michael Ieradi.  You might remember him from such bands as Today I Caught the Plague and Mystery Weekend.  But he joining us this week to talk about his new musical project Same Fears.  We always love having Michael on the show.  And this show is no different.  The new Same Fears release comes out just before Halloween.  Please check it out.  Follow Same Fears on Instagram.

This week, we are in for a treat.  Watch our very own Rody Walker successfully complete a feat never before seen.  A feat so great it should have its own website where he sells uncensored pictures of it.  And all the while we talk about Soft Targets Dig Softer Graves.  We get into the songwriting and then delve into our usual tangents.  It is the combination of sweet and salty that you all love.

Rody big-timed me this week.  He went to a cottage on a lake but not Walker Manor.  A bigger nicer cottage on a probably bigger nicer lake.  He claimed it had internet.  I didn't believe him, so I invited one of his best friends to take his spot. Famed composer Milen Petzelt-Sorace joins me to talk orchestration in heavy music.  Hear the story of how Milen and Rody met.  Don't get any ideas.  He is done making new friends...

This week we debut the premiere of Paracast the Hero.  Our Paramore-themed Protest the Hero podcast.  This week we dive into Ain't It Fun.  It is catchy plus Cheese loves Paramore more than life itself.  I don't know if he has a Paramore tattoo but I think we need to encourage it if he doesn't.  We also forgot to pick a T-Shirt winner.  We will get to it.  Stop being so greedy.  Games, Gifts you gotta see and a speci...

This week we jumped into the PTH catalog and went back to Scurrilous.  We got a special request to cover Termites.  So we did.  There is some addiction talk and mentions of Eating Disorders.  Just wanted to be upfront about that.  We go deep into Gin, Termites, Genies, and gifts.  Some of the conversation deals with serious topics, but hopefully, we kept it light and fun.

This week's episode is based on These Colours Don't Run from A Calculated Use of Sound.  But I said based on.  Sure, there is a little background info on the song.  But this is so much more than that.  The gifts this week are top notch.

We are also in the middle of T-Shirt Contest.  Next week is the last week to enter so get your fun names in now.

Rody is out this week so I decided to give you all a story "hour" (more like 40 minutes).  I am not sure why this stuff always ends up being in space.  My original plan was supposed to be super hero-based.  But ChatGPT knows the real me.  Anyway, this week we have 3 short stories about our good pal Cheese.  They were fun to make and fun to record.  I hope you enjoy listening as much as I did making it.

We bring back all the paying Patreon Names.  There is a new Patreon Name Contest in Effect until the end of July.  To Enter just make yourself a new Patreon user name each week and we will pick the best one for a T-Shirt.  Cheese, I think, was using his Mac Mic this week instead of his actual mic so he sounds a little different.  Whatever.  We don't really care.  This week's episode is all about Apathy with the topic take...
