Louisiana ConsideredFormer La. Democratic Party comms director Bob Mann on what the Democrats got wrong this electionWhen Donald Trump won the election, many Democrats across the country were left asking themselves, what went wrong? Was it the candidate and the lack of a proper primary? Did their message about the fate of democracy not resonate with Americans? Or was it the fact that many see a drastic change as the only way to solve inflation? Robert Mann is a former professor at LSU’s Manship School of mass communication who also served as a press secretary for multiple democratic campaigns and the communications director for the Louisiana Democratic Party. He joins us to discus...2024-11-0824 min
The Insatiable Content PodcastEpisode 28: "Vanderpump Rules"Well, it's official. We've sunk to all new lows over here at the Insatiable Content Podcast. Due to external pressures, I've not only been watching the 10th season of "Vanderpump Rules", but I'm actually up on ALL the gossip of Scandoval. So up on it in fact that I'm podding about it with none other than Kate Simon (we apologize to all the listeners expecting something more high-brow -- normal programming will return next week with a complete breakdown of the post-modern thematic overlaps of Infinite Jest and Gravity's Rainbow). Even more embarrassing? There's a strong case that this...2023-05-2240 minThe Insatiable Content PodcastEpisode 27: 100% NBA PlayoffsWe've returned! We only podcast when Vincent is 100% Vincent, and thankfully I was today because we discussed one of my favorite topics — the NBA Playoffs. The playoffs are starting up and I was joined by Alex Jarrell and Daniel Meekins to give one thing each of us are looking forward to in every first round series. We covered a lot, so get ready for some wild takes, including Jokic slander, Westbrook fluffing, Trey Young hairline jokes, and a lot of Durant worship. This is a fun one and you'll even get to here some feedback for the host, when my...2023-04-1541 minThe Insatiable Content PodcastEpisode 26: Magic Mike's Last DanceWe're still Insatiable over here. The Insatiable Content Podcast occurs with what might be our bawdiest and funniest episode yet. Noted Channing Tatum connoisseur Kate Simon returns to discuss "Magic Mike's Last Dance", the third and final movie in the Magic Mike trilogy. This episode gets especially steamy as we go long on using furniture to support your dance moves, critiques on my dancing and voice work, Last Dance's utterly preposterous plot, and why it's so hard not to love these movies (yep, that language was VERY intentional). Plus, Kate attempts to justify JIF as a viable food product...2023-02-1733 minThe Insatiable Content PodcastEpisode 25: "Atlanta" with Eric CherrieIn the latest episode of "The Insatiable Content Podcast", I'm joined by my friend and returning guest, Eric Cherrie, to discuss the confrontational, bizarrely fantastic, and borderline indescribable third season of Donald Glover's "Atlanta". The show continues to be unlike anything else on TV and this season sets new standards for directly challenging its audience. We go episode by episode to talk about the myriad ways Glover approaches racism, and whether the one-off nature of many of the episodes this season left us dissatisfied. We also cover whether it's even worth asking if we like this show and who...2022-05-2348 minThe Insatiable Content Podcast24: "Winning Time" with Jadi MwendoAll we do is win over here at the Insatiable Content Podcast. On this episode, I'm joined by Friend of the Pod, Jadi Mwendo, to discuss the erratic, unique, hyperbolic, and wildly entertaining HBO series "Winning Time" about the 1979-1980 Showtime Lakers. The show is a roller coaster ride that liberally mixes fiction and fact, along with a lot of sex and drugs. Oh yeah, and a little basketball. We cover:The show's amazing casting, including John C. Reily's lecherous portrayal of Jerry Buss, the former owner of the LakersWhether the show's fictionalization of the team is worth...2022-05-1634 minThe Insatiable Content Podcast23: "Ambulance" with Kate SimonWell, this is a first! On the newest episode of the Insatiable Content Podcast, I'm joined by none other than my Very Special Lady Friend (TM), Kate Simon, who despite her best judgment agreed to watch the new Michael Bay-Jake Gyllenhaal film "Ambulance" with me. To say this movie is bad is being generous. It's a ludicrously plotted, completely incoherent action-thriller that is gloriously unintentionally funny. After first premiering a new show segment "Favorite or Garbage," in which Kate explains why my cereal habits make me a monster, we break down just why "Ambulance" is so, so, so bad...2022-05-1129 minThe Insatiable Content Podcast22: "Severance" with Colin ReingoldTwo episodes in one week?

I'm joined by Colin Reingold, a savvy culture connoisseur, lawyer, and all around great person. And he actually starts the podcast by giving me some serious (and deserved) feedback about the title of the podcast. We discuss the show WITHOUT SPOILERS so listen even if you haven't watched every episode yet or are just interested in the show. We cover a lot, including:Adam Scott, Ben Stiller, and...2022-04-2029 minThe Insatiable Content Podcast21: 2022 NBA Playoffs with Alex JarrellWe are back after an extended break with a truly incredible show focusing on the glory, the drama, the pettiness of the 2022 NBA Playoffs. I am joined by Alex Jarrell, a fellow NBA and Pelicans obsessive, to discuss all things about this year's truly exciting first round matchups. Even if you're not an NBA fan, you'll enjoy this conversation. We go through every series, but don't just offer our predictions, as we also cover why we love the Kyrie heel turn, Tyler Herro's hair, and whether Zion should be traded or not.2022-04-1843 minThe Insatiable Content Podcast20: Swipe Right -- Netflix's "Tinder Swindler"On the 20th (!!) episode of the Insatiable Content podcast, I'm joined by my friend, award-winning graphic designer Sonya Contino (@scontinodesign) to discuss the new Netflix doc "Tinder Swindler" and all things online dating. We get into whether this is a good documentary or just a formulaic tale of an audacious true crime story. We also discuss con men, why people are attracted to wealth, and whether online dating is all one big Ponzi scheme. We also share some of our biggest, most outrageous takeaways from being on the apps ourselves. We cover the following:What makes...2022-02-2233 minThe Insatiable Content Podcast19: "Ozark" -- with Kwame BoadiIn this rollicking episode of the Insatiable Content Podcast, I'm joined by my long-time friend and former college roommate, Kwame Boadi, to discuss the Netflix hit, "Ozark," which just had its fourth season premiere in January. This may be the wildest podcast episode yet, as we get personal, recounting Kwame's love of Madonna's "Like A Prayer", as well as all things money laundering. In this episode, we discuss:The proper way to say Kwame's last nameHow Jason Bateman is really good at playing Jason BatemanHow Wendy Byrd is just like my high school girlfriendWhether Ozark is a metaphor...2022-02-0745 minThe Insatiable Content PodcastEpisode 18: Children Are A Crushing Responsibility - Netflix's "The Lost Daughter"On the latest episode of The Insatiable Content Podcast, I'm joined by Dr. Kate Babineau to discuss Netflix's new movie "The Lost Daughter" and all things Elena Ferrante. The movie, which was directed by Maggie Gyllenhaal and stars the always amazing Olivia Coleman, is based on a Ferrante work and deals with a lot of her favorite themes like how to be an independent adult woman, while also being a mother. It's a haunting film with a lot to say about sacrifice and the way our choices are always wrong, and therefore end up haunting us no matter what...2022-01-2636 minThe Insatiable Content Podcast17: Survival Is Insufficient -- Top Five Shows of 2021 Part TwoWhat if I'm living the wrong life and then die?Ask yourself that and then live the right life and listen to this episode.
