| 6/25/26 | ![]() FINEST of the Beats and Cheeses: Mac And Me with Shaun Duke | While we continue our recording break, we offer you what I think is the most hilarious episode we have ever done. It's from April 2025. SO funny.It's all product placement, all the time as we talk to educator, writer and podcaster Shaun Duke about 1988's E.T. rip-off/commercial for McDonald's and Coca-Cola wrapped into a movie "Mac and Me". Oh, we laughed while recording this one. y'all.Is it a good movie? No. Is it delightful? Yes. Hope you love this episode.Shaun Duke is a writer, editor, podcaster, and educator. By day, he works as a professor of English at DMACC and as the Director of the Portolan Project, where he builds educational modules for science fiction, fantasy, and horror writers. By night, he produces The Skiffy and Fanty Show, a 4X Hugo Finalist SF/F/H podcast, streams games and occasional TTRPG actual plays on Twitch as AlphabetStreams, and works as a freelance editor at The Duke of Editing.

| 6/16/26 | ![]() FINEST of the Beats and Cheeses: Fleetwood Mac with Analese Alvarez | We are taking a little break from new episodes, so we will be posting some of our favorite past shows. This one is from last June with our new friend, Analese Alvarez!Don't (boom) stop (hey) thinking about this podcast as we talk legendary rock band Fleetwood Mac with Analese Alvarez, co-host of the podcast Nerd Best Friends. This was so so so so much fun because Analese is not only a fan of the band, she is a really a historian of them and their music AND has a personal tie to their live reunion album and film, "The Dance". Enjoy this episode, then crank some Fleetwood Mac.Analese Alvarez is a high school principal, Buffy fanatic, cohost of Nerd Best Friends, the podcast that covers all of the NERDY conversations you are already having....

| 1/27/26 | ![]() Rewind Episode: Designing Women with Podcaster Sarah Marshall | Enjoy this delightful blast from the past (2 years ago)! See you with a new episode next week. Stay warm!Summon your inner Sugarbaker as we talk the late 80s-early 90s sitcom classic "Designing Women". We are THRILLED to have as our guest Sarah Marshall, influential podcaster and host of two of our favorite shows, "You're Wrong About" and "You Are Good", which she co-hosts with past FB&C guest Alex Steed. On our episode this week, we talk how this show is very 80's AND very current all at the same time because much of what ailed the world almost 40 years ago is still ailing us. This is a discussion that was funny and deep, like "Designing Women" itself. Enjoy!Sarah Marshall is a writer, podcaster, and media critic focused on setting straight our collective memory—or at least getting to the bottom of why we believe and in turn define ourselves by popular narrative and myth. Why is the maligned woman a staple of our news media? Why do we believe that serial killers are brilliant? How do we keep stumbling into all these moral panics? These are some of the questions that propel Sarah forward. She is the host of the popular modern history podcast You’re Wrong About, which has been highlighted in the New Yorker, the Guardian and Time Magazine. Her writing has appeared in the Believer, Buzzfeed and the true crime collection Unspeakable Acts.https://www.remembersarahmarshall.com/ | — | ||||||
