We aren't exactly sure why Bill Hersey was such a fan, though we do speculate a bit on that topic.

The TodCast PodcastT-n-E Raw/Unplugged: Memories and PhobiasTodd and Eric talk almost every day and most of it is being recorded in hopes that it will make good content. In some cases, there are good conversations that take place before or after we start the "actual" episode, which we'd like to share.

The TodCast PodcastMusic Ranked! America (the band)Todd and Eric discuss the band America. It turns out that it is difficult to search (or research) a group with such a common term as their band name who also did not have a lot of controversy or drama... After the break, Eric pitches a music video concept for Sister Golden Hair and there is absolutely no discussion of piracy after the credits.

The TodCast PodcastMeta, Music, and Trolling MeIn another classic rambling morning conversation among the Hersey brothers, they talk a bit about the music that they listen to and of course get a bit dorky with the metadata.

The TodCast PodcastSpoiling Star Wars with Eric: Attack of the ClonesEric and Todd deep-dive into the middle movie of the prequel era and determine that they like this a lot more than they remember.

The TodCast PodcastLiving Through the Satanic PanicTodd and Eric reminisce about the 80's-90's cultural phenomenon that is referred to as "the Satanic Panic", a time when just about anything that people opposed was linked to the devil as an excuse to condemn it. The Hersey boys recall how certain shows were strictly forbidden for reasons that make so sense to them (then OR now): The Simpsons, Married with Children, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to name a few. They share their "rock and roll is the devil's music" stories before Todd discusses his experiences trying to enjoy role playing games (like Dungeons and...2020-06-0642 min

The TodCast PodcastTodd and Eric in the MorningThis is not a morning radio "zoo crew" production, but rather a collection of extremely meta conversations between Todd and Eric as the prepare for the day (and to record some TodCasts). I'd call it a blooper reel or b-roll....but that implies the existence of "A" roll and/or that regular TodCasts are not filled with gaffes and background noises. In any case, we hope you enjoy this bonus episode that gives a little insight into our boot-up routines.2020-05-0932 min
