The Untenable Podcast with Mike and Jay

This is a podcast created by me, Jay, and my best friend of thirty years, Mike. We both grew up on a steady stream of television, film, and just about any other random piece of media that we could get our hands on. We collected too many toys, played too many video games, and stayed out too late when we rode our bikes too far away from home.
