S3 E40: Frights, Delights & Hollywood Blights: Halloween Shenanigans & The Remake Riddle Nov 13, 2023

Show notes

With both guys back in the studio together and October being a bit of a crazy month - this week on THAT WOULD BE RAD, we play "catch up".

We didn't really get a chance to put a ribbon on Halloween or talk about the scary movies we loved (and hated) that we watched, how much candy our kids dumped out when they got home from trick or treating, and so...we do so here.

We dive into movies like the recently released "Cobweb", "No One Will Save You", and the results of Woody deciding to show his pre-teen son the John Carpenter classic "The Fog".

Did his son have a sleepless night, or is he now a fellow John Carpenter enthusiast? You'll have to listen to find out!

Listen as the conversation between 2 best friends leads you to Led Zeppelin and the hidden gems in album covers, the mysteries of biology (like the shape of Wombat...well...you'll find out), and the Frisson phenomenon.

This is an episode that will make you laugh, think, and wonder. Don't miss it!

S3 E39: You're A Good Man Charlie Brown Nov 06, 2023

Show notes

On this week's episode - our host Woody Brown steps in front of the mic to host a bit of a different episode than typical.

Having suffered a difficult loss in his family he wanted to take the time to talk about it, how he's been dealing with it, and what helped him.

Though this isn't a typical That Would Be Rad episode - we felt it important to...to be REAL, since ultimately GRIEF is something that all of us will encounter in our lives.

Woody talks about losing someone near and dear to his family, and what helped him thus far pull through. This is an episode about loss, grief, support, coping skills, and being inspired to step up for those that count on you when the time comes.

We hope you enjoy this mini-episode straight from the heart, and hopefully someone somewhere who needs to hear it...will hear it.

Thank you so much for listening.
