How to Waste Your Time

In the third episode of the third season of Medium of the Month, we are joined by my long-time mate and one of my favorite content producers, Ben Garnhum, who I invited on to talk about the medium of Video Games. Two video games are highlighted one after the other in this episode: Supergiant Games' "Pyre" and Color Gray Games' "Case of the Golden Idol". We only dabble with light spoilers, so you do not have to worry about that in this episode. After your listen, please tune into Ben's podcast: "Defend the Podcast" on your podcasting application of choice or head over to youtube and look up Defend the House for all their mythbusting content. Our cover art for MOTM was done by artist Alan Cortes aka @flancortes on IG.

In the second episode of the third season of Medium of the Month, we are joined by my pal and one of my favorite podcasters, Chris Logan, who I invited on to talk about the medium of Podcasts with me. Two podcasts are highlighted one after the other: S Town and West Cork. We go into spoilers for both shows at the 31:29 minute mark, so stop listening at that point if you want to avoid spoilers. Please listen to Chris' podcast: "Best of the Rest" on your podcasting application of choice. Our cover art for MOTM was done by artist Alan Cortes aka @flancortes on IG.

In the first episode of the third season of Medium of the Month, we are joined by my good friend and one of my favorite podcasters, Chris Bartlett, who chose to talk about the medium of board games with me. Two board games are highlighted one after the other: Raiders of the North Sea and Clank!: A Deck-Building Adventure. Please listen to Chris' podcasts at Friendly Fire Games on YouTube or your podcasting application of choice. Our cover art for MOTM was done by artist Alan Cortes aka @flancortes on IG.

In the THIRD episode of the second season of Medium of the Month, we are joined by my personal friend and one of my favorite artists, Conor Fathe-Aazam, who I forced to talk about the medium of music with me. The two following two albums are highlighted one after the other: Hawk House's "A Handshake To the Brain" and Desmond and the Tutus' "Tuckshop". Please give Conor's art a look at Typebycone.com.

In the second episode of the second season of Medium of the Month, we get ethereal with one half of the Level Zero Podcast, Preston Willke, who is one of the finest guys I know. The two video games covered are Inside (2016) and Transistor (2014). We go into a broad non-spoiler discussion for both then do a deeper more spoilery talk after the halfway point on both. Timestamps are provided below for your convenience: Transistor Non-Spoilers: 5:08 Inside Non-Spoilers: 18:17 Transistor Full Spoilers: 31:57 Inside Full Spoilers: 46:12

In the first episode of the second season of Medium of the Month, we jump off with a BANG with 1/3rd of the Draft Punks Podcast, Brian Keese, who is one of the few jock nerds on the internet. The two sports covered are Sumo Wrestling and Curling, discussing several youtube videos that we will share below. In the first half of the episode, we cover Sumo Wrestling up until the 39:55 minute mark, then we switch to focus on the winter Olympic sport, Curling.

In the eighth and final episode of the first season of Medium of the Month, we are joined by the co-host with the most, Darien "D-Rye" Equipado, who was the only natural pick for a wastecap episode. The two mediums covered are film and television, discussing "Derek DelGaudio's In & of Itself" and "The Vow" respectively. In the first half of the episode, we cover both pieces of content in a spoiler-free discussion; then we get into spoilers for "The Vow" at 31:15 and for "Derek DelGaudio's In & of Itself" at 49:47.

In the seventh episode of the first season of Medium of the Month, we are joined by one of my favorite people period, Ryan Stabell, who selected the medium of anime to dive into. The two anime series discussed are "Erased" and "Mushishi" Season One. In the first half we cover both shows in a spoiler-free discussion; then we get into the nitty-gritty spoilers starting at 31:00.

In the sixth episode of the first season of Medium of the Month, we are joined by one of my favorite podcast personalities, Travis McGaughey, who I selected the medium of music to gush over with. The two albums discussed are Great Grandpa's "Four of Arrows" and Cornelius' "Sensuous". Many tracks are played throughout and I tried to mix them in between our audio but advance apologies if the music is too loud.
