Send us a textThe Black Friday deals might have been fantastic, but that doesn't excuse the lack of idiot-on-idiot violence this year. Fortunately, sportscasters are still angry, the World Cup is still nap-inducing, and great podcasters still need great podcaster friends.Follow me on Threads + Instagram @SwedeTrap.
Send us a textIt's been a minute but rather than wait for this feed to die like an Elon Musk platform investment I decided to go ahead and make an episode. Sorry, not sorry? Topics today include: Catching COVID (finally), Mastodon is stupid unless we're talking about the band, Instagram e-commerce addiction, and a whole lot more.Follow me on Threads + Instagram @SwedeTrap.
Send us a textGone are the days when you can rely on your government to get anything done, but can you honestly rely on Corporate America to save your heatstroked bacon? No. No you cannot.Follow me on Threads + Instagram @SwedeTrap.
Send us a textPositivity is difficult to find unless you're at the 2022 Portland Blues Festival. Think about that for a moment. We've reached a place where the effing BLUES are the most positive thing going on in the lives of the average Portlander. That's sort of sad, is it not?Follow me on Threads + Instagram @SwedeTrap.
Send us a textA post-Easter, rainy day podcast for my 16 Twitter friends, er, followers. Topics include: eBike regrets, a cardboard box full of dinner, the evils of candy and Russell Wilson, and buying miniaturized versions of almost anything.Follow me on Threads + Instagram @SwedeTrap.
Send us a textPlague, racism, and now war...and nary a single shred of purposeful art or music to be found. What's wrong with this place? Follow me on Threads + Instagram @SwedeTrap.
Send us a textOn the 10th Anniversary of becoming responsible, a trip to Costco causes some self-reflection. I'm kidding. I saw a billboard and it irked me, so I did some digging and laughed at how stupid people are.Follow me on Threads + Instagram @SwedeTrap.
Send us a textFrequent-flyer guest Betsy Richter joins to discuss the slow, painful decline of proper journalism, with a stop along the way to talk about the pros and cons of staying in Portland vs. moving to Mexico.Follow me on Threads + Instagram @SwedeTrap.
Send us a textIn which our hero (me) laments the utter lack of protest music in a time when we need it most - and when the only music that sells appears to be old music. But wait! There is one among the musical masses who dares stand up to oppression, whose voice will be heard whether it makes him unpopular or not! His name: Eric Clapton, guitarist with holes in his brain large enough to accommodate your fist.Follow me on Threads + Instagram @SwedeTrap.
Send us a textAh, the holidays. That ever-so-wonderful time of the year for burning conservative trees, insulting an entire country or two, enjoying the end of another entertaining sports season, and playing an unhealthy amount of video games. Follow me on Threads + Instagram @SwedeTrap.
No Seasonal Greetings is complete without the choice data delivered unto thee from Spotify, the world's third best music streaming service - now Unwrapped for your giddy self-pleasure. Other fun topics include: traveling to Florida because why not, the smelling of ones own breath, and the dumpiest airport in the lower 48...and SPORTS!
Short and sweet, much like life, this episode features a 20ish minute deep dive into mental health, comfortable recliners, the "L" word, and the beauty that is a man on YouTube by the name of Wayne.
Whilst pondering my place in an increasingly politicized media world and lamenting an upcoming and unavoidable NFL football game, my sister reintroduces me to my long-forgotten past.
An open letter from the owner of a professional sports team (or two) rubs the wrong way. 'nuff said.
Send us a textThis is it. This is the last one. There will be no more. Well, there'll be others, but there won't be any more like this one. Does that not make sense? Hmmm. Ok. Well, give me 30 minutes and I'll try my best to explain it to you.Follow me on Threads + Instagram @SwedeTrap.
Send us a text2025 is here, whether you or I like it or not. So, join me as I continue to experience increasingly deepening levels of existential dread, disprove the myth the death in your dreams causes death in real life, and fight the good fight against artificial intelligence – all while being relentlessly harassed by a mentally challenged cat.Follow me on Threads + Instagram @SwedeTrap.
Send us a textYeah, so THAT happened, and here we are, almost two weeks later and if you're like me, you're still processing what it all means, how we got here, and what happens next. Quite frankly I'd rather just sleep through the next 4 years but that's not an option.Follow me on Threads + Instagram @SwedeTrap.
Send us a textGun violence hits a little too close to the Wagner homestead last week, casting a bit of a shadow over almost everything else, but that doesn't stop the damn cat from yelling at me throughout the recording.Follow me on Threads + Instagram @SwedeTrap.
Send us a textIn which our hero endeavors to make sense of celebrity excuses, acquire a chicken sandwich slathered with hot mayonnaise, defends the right of every entrepreneur to create their creations, and laughs at what a loser the loser of last night's Presidential debate is.Follow me on Threads + Instagram @SwedeTrap.
Send us a textIt's back to school day! And what better way to celebrate than to learn all about how bicyclists don't have to stop at stop signs anymore (except for when they do), how Fred Meyer employees dare ask for more and better, how the Supreme Court doesn't care about you whatsoever, and how entitled podcasters can all go f**k themselves.Follow me on Threads + Instagram @SwedeTrap.
