I contributed some art to this - the cultural gutter has a modest fundraiser to pay its writers, who are fantastic. Find a cool perk and support unique voices.
#Gutterthon2025 is still happening. We are just $5 away from $900 and are about halfway to our goal! Thanks to everyone who has contributed to and/or shared our campaign so far. If you haven't, please consider doing so. People like you make weirdos like us possible! crowdfundr.com/Gutterthon25
Gutterthon 2025: Grand Slam

Merry Christmas, everyone.

The only podcast episode that’s (probably) ever talked about Poochinski and Orson Welles.

Dave Willat was just 11 years old when he showed up for what he thought would be a routine church choir practice in 1965. He and his fellow singers ended up making history.
We caught up with one of the kids who sang on 'A Charlie Brown Christmas.' He's 72 now

Congrats. I gave up and bought the DVD last week. For $5, but still.
In physical media news, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment will be releasing "OVER THE GARDEN WALL" on Blu-ray on April 7, 2026, per a listing on Barnes and Noble's website. First Blu-ray release of a Cartoon Network original in 10 years.

If you’ve ever wondered how Nancy Meyers got Dustin Hoffman to cameo in THE HOLIDAY in that scene in Blockbuster Video, she told that story on her instagram stories a few years ago.

Absolutely right.

AI might be able to summarize (poorly) what we currently know, but a major goal of historical research is to find the hidden surprises out there.

Let me illustrate …
Not a historian but like to research. The AI might summarize what I'm looking for, but it doesn't find what I'm *not* looking for. The book on the shelf next to the one I wanted. The insight in chapter 6 based on the quote I needed from chapter 4.
