My New Thing with Dan and Zach

Our prodigal son returns with an important update on the crisis in Cuba!

Today in the Hobby Hole, Zach and Dan invite Gabe Pacheco (Sirius XM) to return and tell us about his recent trip to Cuba with Code Pink to deliver medical supplies and stand in solidarity with the people of Cuba. It's eye-opening while still being silly, like Gabe's stand-up! We also talk about old movies, the end of Bard College President Leon Botstein's tenure, and a few good books. It's a live one!

New High Score!! It's our best ep yet!

We talk to comedian, actor, filmmaker, and video game designer Victor Varnado (Comedy Central, TruTV) about his lifelong obsession with creating video games. His new venture HighScoreGameArcade features an ongoing worldwide Tic-Tac-Toe Championship available to over 100 million people right now! We talk about early game creations, Victor's plans to be a supervillain, and how to pitch a movie tie-in game to a director (by making the costumes historically accurate!). It's a fun one!
