206: AkaiCon Wins, Concert Chaos & Mike Flanagan Feels
This week’s episode is a celebration of small wins, big concerts, and nostalgic chaos. Let’s dive in! 🎤 📚 🎶 📺
🔥 What’s Hot – David recaps his fourth straight year as a vendor at AkaiCon in Lebanon, TN! He shares behind-the-scenes stories, con highlights, and the excitement of selling seven copies of his short story collection, A Home for Wicked Thoughts.
📖 What Are You Reading? – Both hosts are buzzing with anticipation for Brynne Weaver’s upcoming novel Tourist Season. If it’s anything like her Ruinous Love trilogy, we’re in for something dark, clever, and completely unhinged—in the best way.
🎸 The Mosh Pit – It’s been a wild month of live shows: Dance Gavin Dance, New Found Glory on the horizon, and a breakdown of Ice Nine Kills’ chilling new single The Great Unknown. We talk setlists, crowd energy, and the bands that still bring it live.
📺 Shit That Doesn’t Suck – David is all in on Mike Flanagan’s emotional new adaptation of The Life of Chuck, while Frack rewinds the clock and finds joy in reruns of Nickelodeon’s Guts and Double Dare. Slime and sports, anyone?
A little horror, a lot of heart, and plenty of high-energy nostalgia—classic Geek Garage.
