Not all is as it seems in the Pacific Northeastern town of Zero Credit(s). When is it too late to “get into” something? What does it mean to “be into” something? Well, you’re into this podcast and we’re into talking about our lives, the nature of offense, and hotdog throwing. Join us this week as we discuss hollow-eyed EMTs, John Goodman, the state of Tom Sizemore, and the robots that may or may not be taking our fictional superhero jobs. BRX FDQQRW WUXVW KHQUB.

Oh wow, listeners. It’s been 20 episodes already and to celebrate, we invited a special guest into the Zero Credit(s) home to join our close-knit family of love and respect. She then broke our chair, for like, no reason. Come listen to conversations about the secret classist discrimination of furniture, America’s inept and costly prison system, as well as bugs. Also, Maddi really wants pandas to die. It all culminates in our shortest but most earnest “Questions from You with Statements from Us” before Maddi decides to continue her reign of destruction elsewhere. Can the Zero Credit(s) boys band together to stop her ceaseless and wanton carnage? Link to episode: Episode 20: Special Guest Maddi Breaks Our Chair
This week’s episode does not feature any music by Kevin MacLeod at Incompetech, but we like him all the same, so here’s a shout out to him.
After a night of fun and friends, those ZC boys head into the recording studio to knock out a drowsy episode of that time honored podcast you love and know all too well. Here they discuss the finer things of parentheses, world building, and the nuances that go into preparing for a show while on air. Better Call some Nice Guys, cause you’ll need them to get through the cloudy haze of discourse that is this week’s What Did You Watch? Then, some fan mail! And it’s all wrapped when our lovable hosts light themselves on fire and hit the submit button, forever cementing this episode in the annals of “Things That Happened.” Here’s your link: Episode 19: (Hung)OverCast Featuring music by Kevin MacLeod at Incompetech.com.
It’s a doozy this week, folks as we start a journey into the inner-geek/philosophers of those no-good Zero Credit(s) boys. What begins as a minor discussion of the finer nuances of holding a door open for another person devolves quickly into a brief millennial bashing before we skip off to the merry fields of glory and storytelling that is Dungeons and Dragons. *Commercial Break* Then join hands and jump right off the Cliff of Reason as we fall headlong into the wondrous cavern of What is art? What is art, listener? What is it. Tell us. We’re dying to know. We’d kill to find out. Murder. Link to an Episode: Dear Listeners, John’s Sorry
Featuring music by Kevin MacLeod over at Incompetech.
We promised it, and we (eventually) delivered it. The Zero Credit(s) crew hops into the Wayback Machine to pull some content, kicking and screaming, into the harsh light of day. We discuss Young John’s opinions about both women and LEGO, and we are left flabbergasted by the sheer poesy of Young Henry. Remember what they say: liquor before wine and you’ll feel fine, see a fire-breathing hippo outside of your window surrounded by bloody crow feathers and you get sick quicker. One is all it takes to change your lifestyle, so make this your one podcast. Champ. Featuring music by Kevin MacLeod at Incompetech. Here’s a link: Episode 17: Yep, That’s How I Got My Gamecube
Buckle up those spectacles, folks, cause Zero Credits gets weirdly deep thinking this week, featuring the most tangent-filled What Are We Doing segment to exist since the dawn of time (relative to the podcast). Paint by the numbers essays, art, science, and misguided thoughts are all parts of an equally confusing octopus-like conversation before we decent into the largest literature question of the 20th century and Daredevil. Tell me listener, is the Author dead, and if so, is it because the Punisher was out for revenge? Only in the end do we understand that Chemtrails tell us to do everything we do and say everything we say. Chemtrails wrote this description. Chemtrails made you read it. Chemtrails. Chemtrails.
Boys becoming babies, babies becoming bears, bears becoming podcasts. It’s a full-ish moon, and the Zero Credit(s) boys are taken by a strange mood. Lycanthropy, witches, monster crows, and Old English are just a few of the spine-chilling topics discussed on today’s surprisingly spooky episode. We also vent our unique frustrations with the Golden Age of TV before diving headfirst into our first batch of listener emails. Break music is provided by the incomparable Kevin MacLeod, who exists only by the grace of Thunderbird. Link to the Ep: Episode 15: “Terdurdlier Burhms” or “Nothing Can Stop Mr. Lougarou“
To be honest, I forgot to write the synopsis for this week’s episode, but if I hadn’t, it’d go something exactly like this: We’re back for another hair-biting episode that explores the likes of a world with no imagination, the frustrations of purgatory (or limbo), and somewhat useless superpowers. After a quick water break, for the while the sun is down, the heat’s still around, listen as we launch straight into the Hardcorest of What Did You Watch? segments we have ever done. There’s no time for second guesses or hesitations, listener, for gold is on the line. Episode 14: Ride the Slosh Pipe, Boba Fett, for Gold is on the Line
Pulling back from the doldrums of the literary canon, the ZC Boys take this week off from exceptionally deep discussion to instead cover more colorful topics such as the surprisingly bright future of professional wrestling and high school renditions of superhero TV shows. X-Men marks the spot. The treasure? More Marvel movie nonsense. Who says you can’t have your cake and eat it too? Reverse Flash says. Listen to Reverse Flash. Henry is pressuring me to the finish the description, are you happy now henry, this is what you get, always henry’s way, HENRY’S WAY DOT COM.
Truth be told, we have never held the truth back from you, dear listener, and this episode is no different. Zero Credit(s) finally takes a stance on shoes and the city of Austin before tackling the literary canon as if it held the soft, nourishing football of eternal life(tm). Join us as we discuss Play It As It Lays by Joan Didion and Suddenly, a Knock on the Door. . . by Etgar Keret. In usual ZC style, we wrap up the evening with a riveting and delightful diatribe against humanity’s treatment of twitter bots, who will one day destroy us all. Fun for 2/3’s of the family!
