The Hairless Ape

When stripped of our attire and our titles, we are all hairless apes: beautiful, magnificent, intelligent apes. This show gives voice to one such hairless ape. This hairless ape sheds titles and accoutrements to better expose his *ahem* humanity to the podcast-a-verse. This is the podcast where you willingly and knowingly subject yourself to the oft-times incoherent ramblings of an erudite, yet somehow still knuckle-dragging hairless ape. The formula here is pretty simple: whatever this ape happens to be fixating upon, will be the subject of that episode. So strap in as we delve into the majesty, travesty and strange beauty that is the mind of The Hairless Ape.
