Think Again, My Friend Podcast artwork

TAMF is a panel game, a genre of radio and television show popular in Britain. Our regular panelists Brendan Adkins (Children’s Hour of Knowledge), Mark Bergo and Christen McCurdy, plus occasional guests and our host Mike Sugarbaker, answer questions on ever-changing topics. The results are by turns hilarious, enlightening, thought-provoking, and roughly half an hour in length. Imagine Wait Wait Don't Tell Me but unhindered by the twin shibboleths of topicality and professionalism. @thinkagainpdcst

Episode 26: Security & Theater

Jul 11 2020 42 mins

In which we discuss Bono, _It's A Small World_, the Black Death, and Wagner. Is the sound better? I can't even tell anymore. Buckle up for entertainment!

Episode 25: Sharks

Jun 20 2020 41 mins

An age-old curse is lifted; now stop hitting us with that net. The regulars discuss Jaws, Aphex Twin, Zeus (have we not drawn enough supernatural ire already?), and yes, Animal Crossing. Please enjoy this as you have been conditioned to do, which is to say by not complaining about the sound quality because it's familiar from at least a dozen Zoom meetings. (This is our first fully-

Episode 24: Animals In Sports

Jul 14 2019 60 mins

Your favorite rear dog of the sled returns, although the regulars plus Kat Jercich don't in fact manage to discuss the Iditarod much. Mike's LCD Soundsystem references get no love, and the kids are uptight. Brendan cobbles together, on the fly during our break, the most challenging and exciting round of This or That in the program's history. Nothing in the rules says an otter can't

Episode 23: Air

Nov 12 2018 42 mins

Some people say not to worry about the air, but it's touching you right now, just like TAMF. To be clear, this was recorded when Portland was experiencing some severe air quality issues. We had some quality issues of our own, notably with Christen and Brendan's microphones; not all of the sound glitches could be worked out in post, and we're sorry.

Episode 22: Taxes & Dogs

Jun 10 2018 48 mins

It's seldom but regularly tax time, and it's always dog time; somewhere in between, it's TAMF time. Topics discussed by the regulars, now including Ed Hawkins, include Leona Helmsley, cannons, and children. The sound may have a certain quality. Enjoy.

Episode 21: Electricity & Cake

Dec 06 2017 54 mins

There are no easy references in this episode of TAMF, by which I mean there are no references to Easy Bake Ovens. We make our first use of foley, unless it isn't foley anymore when the sound you hear is actually made by what it purports to be made by …

Episode 20: Plots

Jul 31 2017 45 mins

Wouldn't it be nice to take a break from one thing happening after another? What better way than with the continuity error of a podcast that we call TAMF? The regulars discuss basics, George Lucas, cemeteries, secret history, the Berenstain Bears amidst other conspiracies, and Max Headroom.

Episode 19: Gods

Jun 16 2017 51 mins

With the regulars, plus friend of the show Kat for added hilarity and subtracted audio quality (we still don't handle more than four players very well; working on it). Many of the things we discussed must not be named. It's possible that they shouldn't be discussed either, in which case …

Episode 18: Animals, Vegetables, and Minerals

May 10 2017 43 mins

Coming out pro for the Oxford comma, it's the return of TAMF. Discussed are Alex Trebek, Rambo, and Julius Caesar, all of which are proper nouns and therefore disqualified. With the regulars.

Episode 17: Peanuts

Sep 15 2016 42 mins

With the regulars, one of whom is heroically Skyping in over public WiFi in New York City, but that wasn't enough of a hero's journey for Tom, oh no. Topics include: nitrogen.
