DFWaG 2017-2021

Yes, you read that correctly. Unfortunately, Steve and I have developed some irreconcilable differences, and in light of that, I’m taking the initiative to retire the podcast. Huge thanks to Gustavo, David Delmonte, Skib, Damon, and all the fans who wrote in to goof around with us- I hope we’ll be able to goof around again at some point in the future. Thanks again, and feel fr

Hey GromitHeads, Jared here: sorry for the delay on this one. I’m in production on my feature film debut, and dealing with a dang toothache. Nevertheless, I’m addicted to persisting, and getting this episode out for you. We’ll be back with a new episode on July 5th, and until then be sure to send in your emails, voice recordings, etc- we’d love to hear from you. If I rememb

#51: "Who Censored Roger Rabbit?"

May 17 2021 55 mins

Thank you so much to TIME Magazine for naming us “Hardest Working Podcasters” for 20MoneyWon, what an incredible award to be welcomed back to Seattle’s DFWaG Industries HQ with. To celebrate, we read Gary K Wolf’s impossibly jaded and enigmatic “Who Censored Roger Rabbit?”- easily the most personal, unfunny, singular work we’ve read for the podcast. Gary went hog wild

A happy May Day to all our dedicated May Heads with a touch of May Madness, as we celebrate the 50th Episode Spectacular. What better way to celebrate such a momentous occasion, than to return to Raymond Chandler for “Farewell, My Lovely” as our supplemental, hardboiled novel of the week. (Editors Note: “The OC” was on FOX, you can blame the pencil pushers at DFWaG Labs) Ou

Firmly committing to a 9.9/10 Podcasting Experience, we’re joined by friend of the pod, Jordan, to offer his sage wisdom in our unpacking and analysis of Kahlil Gibran’s “The Prophet”.

BREAKING NEWS: DFWaG has partnered with Vinny VanGo for our first ever “Annual Giveaway”- the grand prize? Ornate wooden clogs signed by Vinny himself. As a way to celebrate this incredible development, we tucked into Julio Cortazar’s “Blow Up”, this week, with the hopes that we too can escape into an imagined reality far from our own as internationally hunted fugitives.

Apr 05 2021 44 mins

We’ve escaped the clutches of the Globalist Cabal, and we’re painting the continental United States ORANGE. No better way to celebrate such fortune, than to continue our run of Flannery O’Conner short fiction. Can you believe that Steve has a microphone finally? All with the thanks of our New Dutch Family.

This week we read Yukio Mishima’s “The Sound of Waves”, courtesy of the incredible library system here at the Washington State Penitentiary- Walla Walla, Washington’s own supermax facility. We fought the Globalist Cabal, and the Cabal won: of course we were arrested not minutes after last week’s episode. Our sincerest apology to everyone who betrayed us, for having spoke
