127 - Pods Like Us meets The Basement Surge

 
Marv chats with John about The Basement Surge, a show that looks into topical subjects, and then speak about them openly, from a basement in Brooklyn, New York. Subjects that Marv and John discuss include the Dodgers baseball team moving from Brooklyn to LA, James Gunn being taken on to look after the DC related films at Warner Bros, the Coronation of King Charles III, independent podcasting, the question of how far you can go with open discussion in podcasts, and the effects thereof, and so much more.
 
WARNING - this episode was recorded while Marv's internet provider was apparently conducting maintenance on their service over five days without having given notification, so while the show has been cleaned up, there are still traces of signal trouble.

126 Pods Like Us meets Holidays After Dark

Marv chats with Kristin about Holidays After Dark, a show that looks at the history of events such as Christmas, Easter, Mardi Gras.  Is there a dark side to these times? Apologies for the sound issues here and there, but I don't think that it takes away from the great discussion.
