“Sweep the leg,” or “Wax on, wax off,” are movie quotes as unmistakable as “Here’s looking at you kid”. The Karate Kid film, and the new series, Cobra Kai, really reminds us we’re not in Kansas anymore, because the bully is the hero and the 80s are whispering to us from the past. On today’s show, a podcast deep dives into the history of the Karate Kid, and another podcast reintroduces us to Daniel-San.

Doctors don’t agree. Americans don’t agree. Everyone is up in arms, sure that their view is the right one. It’s a confusing, confounding mess. We’re not talking about coronavirus, we’re talking about fat. Meat, fat and carbs are a battle-ground for diet experts on a podcast called Fitness Confidential. That’s our topic this week on Easy Listening, a podcast about podcasts featuring clips and kibbitzing with Teresa Strasser and Gina Grad.
