This week Kyle and Matthew chat with game designer Andy Ashcraft about porno comics. Comcis about people having sex are as old as comic books themselves and for decades they have existed as an art-form unto themselves. Andy gives some great recommendations for anyone interested in stepping past the saloon doors in the back of the comic book world. Plus, you get to listen to three people who are refreshingly laze fair about intimate encounters with mythological creatures. Plus, we talk about game design, life in tabletop gaming, and 80's Teen Titians.     Weekly Rads: Kyle – Giant Sized X-Men (comic book) Matthew – Too Hot to Handle (show) Andy – Marvel Puzzle Quest (game)   A slection of titles mentioned: alfi (https://buttsmithy.com/archives/comic/p1) Jaqrabbit Tales (http://tales.jaqrabbit.com) rockcock (http://rockcocks.slipshine.net/comic/archive) The Cummoner (I think if we link you to the site we found, we'd go to jail, just search for it.)

This week Kyle and Matthew welcome comedian Carmen Morales for a chat about the new frontier of micro-dose medical treatments. While it's easy to think about psychedelics as something you buy in the parking lot of a Phish concert but studies are showing that small amounts of certain types of psychedelics are helping to treat issues like depression and bi polar disorder. There is also a nice chunk of chat about psychology in joke writing and the weird places innovation can sometimes take things.   Weekly Rads: Kyle – Cobra Kai (again) (show) Matthew – finishing Seinfeld and jackass dvd sets (shows) Carmen – The Righteous Gemstones (show)   ales from an Analog Future issue 1 (Early Access Edition) Get it HERE: https://gumroad.com/analogfuturecomic Get Kyle's album "Absolute Terror" here: https://smarturl.it/absoluteterror    Go to www.Patreon.com/thisisrad and subscribe to send in questions for our Listener Questions episodes, to get exclusive bonus episodes, extra content, and access to the This Is Rad Discord

Oh boy folks, what an adventure. Our dear sweet Matthew Burnside had to step out of the ep moments before we began to record. Originally this was gonna be our classic end of the year round up with the boys from The Goods from the Woods. But Carter, Sam, and Burnside all had to step away so what you're getting is Kyle Clark and Rivers Langly doing what they do best: Talking. They recount their TV, music, and movies of the year. No top 10 lists. No epic retrospectives. Just two buds looking back on a crazy year and chatting about stuff they liked. A fun low key way to end a very weird year.    See you in 2022!!!   Tales from an Analog Future issue 1 (Early Access Edition) Get it HERE: https://gumroad.com/analogfuturecomic   Go to www.Patreon.com/thisisrad and subscribe to send in questions for our Listener Questions episodes, to get exclusive bonus episodes, extra content, and access to the This Is Rad Discord server!   Check out our merch! https://www.teepublic.com/stores/this-is-rad  Also!

This week Kyle and Matthew welcome cosplayer and the person behind the This Is Rad! and Everything is Scary social media accounts. If you enjoy insane anime memes, Frank has got you covered. Frank shares memories of his early days of cosplay. The evolution of his life as Spider-Man, both as a signature cosplay AND as a friendly neighborhood web slinger (Frank is Spider-Man, don't tell anyone) Frank also does amazing work with children's hospitals and public events. We also explore the various philosophies when it comes to designing a costume, the fun of creating original cosplay characters, and he gives us some pragmatic tips for anyone who might want to dive into the lifestyle. We also chat with Frank about his life with Rad.
