Jerry Sandusky

As I take a few extra days to prepare my bombshell Bob Dylan adventure, allow me to introduce my other podcast THE BACK WALL, a raunchy and reactionary psychedelic sports show I co-host with Glen Rockney of Rare Candy fame. This is our most popular episode so far, and you need no interest or knowledge of sports at all to care about it. It features one of the biggest media/legal scandals of the century, one that most people assume to be legit. The ep features John Ziegler, former LA talk radio host and the central character in David Foster Wallace's excellent feature story The Host, who torpedoed his career to prove that ex Penn State coach Jerry Sandusky is innocent.   If you like what you hear, get a free trail subscription to The Back Wall on Patreon for a lot more.

32. We Saw You From Across the Mosque in Liverpool (preview)

Feeling severed from the world? Trapped inside your own hundred acre wood? Tie your shoes. On this tour, we go in circles around a city where nothing is lost that can't be found, where nothing is erased without imprint. We wander story-laden streets, peek down literary alleys, poke our heads into sing-song pubs. We navigate inconvenient sympathies. We recognize a tune. To signal traffic in the narrative chaos, we trust the time-honored cues of the theater. We discuss a movie about a real place that doesn't exist. We go bump bump bump, and begin to construct a fresh map of reality, out of tea leaves long unread...With Yeerk, host of Bistro CaliforniumFor the SECRET CHAPTER from this adventure and a spiritually relevant SIDE QUEST episode, plus over 30 other exclusive episodes, subscribe to us at Patreon.com/filthyarmenian for only $5 a month. Follow us on twitter/instagram @filthyarmenianPlease rate, review, and spread the word.Sightings: Beowolf, Edmund Spenser, Shakespeare, Alexander Pope, Jane Austen, Charlotte Bronte, George Eliot, Arthur Conan Doyle, Max Beerbohm, D.H.

31. Invisible Republic in London (feat. Yeerk)

FILTHY ARMENIAN ADVENTURES is an existential travel show that takes you all over the map of our cultural apocalypse and deep into forbidden territories where truth, art, music, and men still matter. Where no personality is too extreme, where no topic is taboo. Where the past is never past and the present’s always present. Where mysterious monologues frame conversations that burst into living dramas in glittering locations around the world. Where a “filthy armenian” tracks down the filthiest, funniest, most enchanting characters of our time, and dares them to abandon their masks and hunt for gold. Each episode is both its own evergreen adventure and part of an ongoing, twisted narrative that can only be experienced in full if you subscribe on Patreon. Do so at <a href="http://patreon.com/filthyarmenian" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">patreon.com/filthyarmenian</a> for intimate exclusive episodes, side quests, secret chapters, and bull sessions. Created and hosted by Alec Mouhibian.
