Hobo Radio 481 – This is what it feels like to win

June 11, 2018Anthony Bourdain, Featured, Hobo Radio, Richard Nixon, Washington CapitalsHoboTrashcan

Joel Murphy and Lars Periwinkle, two long-suffering Washington, DC sports fans, share what it felt like to see one of their teams win a national championship for the first time in over two decades. In addition to the Washington Capitals Stanley Cup victory, they also take about Joel’s recent trip to the Nixon Presidential Library and they remember the late, great Anthony Bourdain.

What was it like being in the streets of DC when the Capitals won? What was Anthony Bourdain able to capture about other cultures that most travelers missed? Are the people in charge of the Nixon library in on the joke? The answers to these questions and more are on this week’s show.

This week’s music:

Intro – “Giddy Up” by Tahuna Breaks
End – “Wenn du mich lässt” by luc électrique

Hobo Radio 480 – Throw an orange at the button

June 5, 2018Featured, Hobo RadioHoboTrashcan

Joel Murphy and Lars Periwinkle talk about Russian journalist Arkady Babchenko, who faked his own death (in a plan similar to Jim Gordon’s faked death in The Dark Knight). They also discuss the state of the Jurassic Park franchise, whether or not blue hair is a recessive gene in The Simpsons universe and what David Tennant’s Doctor can teach us all about dealing with people using problematic language.

Who replaced Vincent D’Onofrio on Law and Order? What is Jurassic Park at this point? Are you ready for Hobo Radio 2.0? The answers to these questions and more are on this week’s show.

This week’s music:

Intro – “Giddy Up” by Tahuna Breaks
End – “Hoshi no Densetsu (Tells of Stars)” by Sachiko Kanenobu

May 28, 2018Featured, han solo, Hobo Radio, Star WarsHoboTrashcan

In this spoiler-filled episode, Joel Murphy and Lars Periwinkle share their thoughts on Solo: A Star Wars Story. Both of them were pleasantly surprised by the film (and eat a fair amount of crow for all the shade they threw at the film in the weeks leading up to the release). So, if you’ve seen the film, nerd out with our dynamic duo over Solo.

Was Donald Glover’s Billy Dee Williams’ impression distracting? Why did the film underperform at the box office? How did Ron Howard pull off an enjoyable Han Solo adventure? The answers to these questions and more are on this week’s show.
