DP E107 - Hackronyms

Steve and Paul are sick of Hackronyms. Acronyms that hacks use just to seem smarter. Actually, Steve and Paul are sick of people who use Hackronyms. STEM set Steve off on a "what's wrong with education" rant. As a result, the Question of the Day was "Favorite movie about school? Go!"

DP E106 - Super Fan James and Nintendo Switch

Hear your name on the Radio!! Steve and Paul start out talking about an accidental virus and they name names of friends' favorite books (and talk about their own). As they are about to move on, they get a call from Super Fan James, who sticks around for Irresponsible Headline Interpretation. SFJ gives Steve and Paul an update on the state of gaming (actually, he gives them a basic lesson in gaming consoles). Turns out the Nintendo Switch is kind of a big deal. Of course, Steve never lets a week go by without immitating Donald Trump and talking about the future.

DP E105 - Earliest Hollywood Crush

Ever heard your name on the radio? This is one to listen to if you answered our DP Poll Question of the Day. Tune in to find out if you're now famous. Paul and Steve muse about the possibility of going back in time and meeting your earlierst Hollywood Crush. They celebrate Dan Carlin's newest episode and bemoan Lore's popularity. Steve recounts his near-death scooter experience and Paul has some advice for how to behave around bearded ladies. And this is all before the Headlines segment.

DP E104 - Super Sounds of the 70s

What did people listen to when they were kids? This week we start out talking about bands that our fans liked as kids. Paul and Steve talked about their answers: Cash and ZZ Top. Then they did some irresponsible headlines about Turkey, 17 intelligence agencies, CIA testing psychics, and wrecking Michelle Obama like the Edmund Fitzgerald. Finally, they wrapped up with a few more listener band favorites. Solid. We promise you would not be embarrassed to tell your friends about this one. Share, like, comment. Thanks.

Rough Draft E2 A William Wright (Andy)

If you haven't heard of Andy Wright, stop what you are doing and go to www.awilliamwright.com. You will become a better writer just by reading his stuff. Paul, Steve, and Andy have a great conversation this month about the craft of writing and, more importantly, the beautiful misery that drives a writer to write. They were lucky enough to get Andy to read the prologue from his upcoming novel. And Paul and Steve read a little more of their stuff, too. Enjoy.

Don't Panic E102 - Andy Martello

Andy Martello joins Paul and Steve this week for a lovely discussion about the benefits of being the most famous non-famous person in show business. You will never think of hot air balloons the same way again.

DP E101 - Princess Leia

This is an episode of firsts - The first episode after the end of DP seasons. First episode after Radio Free Indy went off air. First time Paul doesn't say, "Hey. How ya doin." The guys discuss the recent passing of Carrie Fisher and its impact on boys their age. Then, 18 minutes in, Steve congratulates Paul on his Comics Alternative appearances and the upcoming release of Paul's and Jim McLain's web comic, Poe and the Mysteriads, in January. Check out comicsalternative.com. In the second half the guys get into their plans for New Years, ways to watch Star Wars, and the latest addition to Steve's family. This episode is dedicated to Hollywood, to Carrie Fisher, and to the memory of RFI.

DP S2-E49 - 100th Episode

Paul and Steve started this little experiment almost 2 years and 100 episodes ago. Including the Pilot, that's 101 episodes in 103 weeks. They just do not take time off. They are commited to the show, to each other, and to their listeners. In this season 2 finale, the guys reflect on what has made the show better and what keeps them coming back week after week. When they run out of ways to pat each other on the back, they discuss some other nonsense - like always. In the beginning they said we were just playing around to see how long this would last. Now that they have 100 episodes in the can, there is no foreseeable end to the Don't Panic Radio Show! See you for episodes 101 through ???

Rough Draft E1 How to Create

Welcome to our new podcast. The guys from Don't Panic (Paul and Steve) aim their considerable talents directly at: How we Create. Specifically, how we create fiction. And when we say "we", we mean everyone. This month, Paul and Steve tell you what the show is and what it is not. Paul and Steve read the first chapter or two from their novel-in-progress. You can't say you've been listening since the very beginning if you don't listen to this one.
