Nikki Manos & Madame De Fer watch the fascinating, true story of Cabeza de Vaca, a Spanish Conquistador turned medicine man. It's a spectacular tale, but is it the first "Western?" Nikki digs in and explores the film's Western-centric themes in this newest episode of Watching Westerns.

Boo! It’s the most wonderful time of the year here at Rabotat! This is because the days and nights are colder and because it’s time for our annual Fangoria Chainsaw Awards podcast! Ironfisr and Madame De Fer sat down, gave their unsolicited opinions on this year's horror movie nominees, and dabbled in some illustration. The catch? They only had 6 seconds to draw the movie they wanted to discuss.

A couple of weeks back, we found ourselves caught up in a tropical storm in New Jersey, celebrating the wedding of a dear friend. Lucky for us, so was Emily Kidd - famed Rabotat performer and songwriter from Nashville. She took the time - mid-storm - to catch up with us and tell us more about her story: who she is, where she came from, and where she’s going. With a new EP out on October 12, we had a lot to discuss and a lot to cele...

For our first podcast of the year, we are doing what we do best - talking about the Fangoria Chainsaw Awards. This year, for 2023, we were bamboozled - voting closed early and we weren't able to get our picks submitted in time. With this, we are making this years podcast our own, running through our own format of Horror watches and recommendations with Fangoria's nominees as our guide. And who doesn't love a little h...

Things have been a bit crazy since our last episode. Rabotat Records recently relocated from Los Angeles - to escape the hustle and bustle of the city - and moved to the mountains of sunny New Mexico. Before we left, we had a chance to sit down with We Are Makers and taste some Maine Maple Syrup, along with WAM’s own home-roasted coffee beans. Trust me, you won’t want to miss this delightfully decadent episode. ☕

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! With Halloween coming next week (and our upcoming Circuitry stream on October 30), we are getting in the spirit by playing an EXTRA spooky game of Watched Or Wasted, based on our knowledge of horror films and tv series. Joining Madame De Fer in the endeavor is Nikki Manos, who is celebrating his own release of his recent single, Hard To Breathe, this month. Tune in for a whacky, and somewha...

For our fourth episode of the pod, we take a look back to May 2021 and our weeklong trip high up in Cloudcroft, New Mexico for a Nikki Manos recording session. Ironfist and I were lucky enough that week to be joined by the untouchable Dave Austin, member of Just Whiskey and future member of Melatonin Lotion. In our longest show yet, we sat with Dave to talk about his lifelong passion for music, the realities of touring, and even sh...

Our third episode is a little something special, paying homage to one of our favorite writers and horror aficionados, Stephen King. This legendary man has permeated the core of our collective minds for decades with his books, films, and even his incredibly witty commentary on Twitter. He is iconic to the Rabotat Fam and in celebration of our admiration, we wanted to pay tribute to him in our newest episode. Join Madame De Fer and I...

In our second episode is dedicated to the Fangoria 2021 Chainsaw Awards! My partner, Ironfist, and I watched the roundup of this year's nominees and cast our votes. Today, we discuss our favorite picks from each category, with a few special Rabotat categories thrown in the mix to keep it spicy. What did we love about horror in 2020? Catch our newest episode to find out - and catch the Fangoria Chainsaw Awards on Shudder this y...

They are joined by Ironfist, Rabotat Records co-founder, who produced the EP with Drunken Logic throughout the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. The conversation touches on inspiration and lyrical writing, producing in a socially distan...
