It’s finally episode 50! We celebrate by seeing how many of our old episodes we can remember just by looking at the titles – it’s like a clip show of the mind! Actual clip shows are way too much work to put together. And lest you think we’re just singing ourselves this episode, we end by giving back with podcasting advice from people who are obviously experts at it by now… right?

The Workshop #0 – Primordial ooze

We’re not quite ready for our 50th episode. Instead, we bring you a short bonus episode from the distant past. This was our audio test just before we recorded episode 1 of the podcast way back in December 2016 – we were all so much younger then! It’s basically just a condensed version of what we normally do just with even less direction.

The Workshop #48 – The Workshop Double Album Extravaganza

It’s our loudest longest episode ever! That doesn’t mean it’s good. But you should still listen as we discuss our personal musical evolutions. Includes rabbit trails on boy bands, CCM, pop punk, and Coldplay. And also find out what embarrassing (his word) album was Eric’s first.

Like the previous episode, we had to record this in separate studios and the audio quality suffered a bit more this time than last time. Hopefully we will be in the same place next time.

 

A factual correction nobody cares about: Matt stated he graduated high school in 2009. In fact it was 2008 and he is older than he thinks and/or wants.

The Workshop #44 – Bloviating into the void

There’s a good episode in here somewhere if you wade through the bad one to get at it. I know that’s really selling you on listening. Hey, if you have an opinion about this episode which is mostly about opinions, please use one of those links above and send us a message or leave a review.

The Workshop #43 – Halloween in the 23rd Century

Today’s spooky episode of The Workshop is absolutely jump scare free… or is it? Listen – if you dare – to a very special edition of Coffee Drank followed by a discussion of scary movies and Halloween.

The Workshop #42 – Self-addressed stamped antelope

We’re taking this show on the road, baby! In 2019 watch out! No town, city, hamlet, or census-defined places are safe from THE WORKSHOP PODCAST WORLD TOUR!

Also on this decidedly off-the-rails episode: anti-jokes, hipster calendars, games shows, and, of course, millennials ruining more things.

The Workshop #40 – The Crossfit of Personality Tests

On this episode of the Workshop we shill for sponsor swag, discuss personality tests and their popularity, and agree with the rest of the internet regarding the new “Popular Film” Oscar award.

The Workshop #38 – Talking around politics

We don’t like to discuss politics straightforwardly on this show, but in today’s episode we touched on a bunch of stuff that borders on political. Well, everything’s political, really. Sorry.

Nevertheless we hope you put up with (and maybe even get something out of) our discussions on The Vietnam War (both the actual event and the Ken Burns documentary), James Gunn’s firing, and how the cultural discourse has gotten so uncivil.

We usually don’t talk “current events” all that much. This episode was recorded a couple weeks ago so things around the James Gunn situation have developed a bit, but hopefully our discussion is still mostly valid.

Stick around to the end of the show to hear us definitely answer the question on everybody’s minds: when did Facebook stop being cool?
