Show notes

A travel agent is upset that his efforts to fill an entire airplane with volunteers to assist with the Dixie Fire in Northern California did not result in him getting a plastic American Airlines wings pin from a stewardess, as he lost out to a well-behaved special needs person that was also on the flight. Some people can be so narcissistic!

E114: A Portrait of the Rain Man of Radio as a Trisha Paytas Fan Jul 15, 2021

Show notes

Since Tom Ladoux is taking a break from the show apparently, Chris Thomas has the distinct honor of interviewing Lawrence Ross, the host of The Lawrence Ross Show (an inventive title, for sure). Lawrence is an open book and talks about quite a bit on Grade A Nation: he addresses false accusations that he is stalking YouTuber Trisha Paytas, reveals a missed romantic encounter with a lady of the night arranged by his friend's mom, reflects on his goals as an entertainer, and shares some of the challenges of life as a visually impaired person. It is cool how Lawrence has taken his passion for radio and become a content creator in the digital audio space. Lawrence has a heart of gold; show him some love by checking out his podcast, merchandise, and his social media!

Show notes

E109: Yashar Ali @yashar and the Boundaries of Journalism Jun 10, 2021

Show notes

A Los Angeles Magazine profile piece on Twitter personality Yashar Ali feels like a hit job. Why was it released at this time?
