It’s a 12-hour time-shifted co-hosting gig on this week’s WAFFLES!, as Dave Butler in Hong Kong joins Matt in Kingston via Discord to talk about Dungeons & Dragons, teaching, and more! Dave is the GM of an online D&D game that Matt plays in, and there’s a lot of music about dungeons. And dragons! Also […]

Whether you partake or not, you’ll enjoy a full-bore range of music, and a surprising (for us) amount of facts and research for a single-topic edition of WAFFLES! — why you should call it cannabis (don’t call it marijuana!), prohibition, stereotypes, why Canada is the Most Legal Place On Earth, and music, music, music! From […]

Take me home, country WAFFLES! Songs about homes and houses haunt this wonderful spring morning WAFFLES!, with music from across the musical spectrum from the rocksteady of Toots & the Maytals through the futuretronic sounds of Joe Goddard. A surprising number of apologies pepper this show, as well as Marisa’s surprising revelation of an undying […]

We’re playing songs about thinking on WAFFLES! this week, ranging from stone cold ’80s pop classics to Tom Waits free association, to Jean “Cold Chicken!” Leloup singing in English. Free romance advice for Rufus Wainwright! This is a WAFFLES! not to be missed! WAFFLES theme :: Teen Titans Think of One :: Thelonius Monk If […]

Whistle while you… WAFFLE? We don’t cover any of the obvious ones (except for one request) in this all-whistling WAFFLES!, selecting instead some of the more obscure whistling-centric works of classical music, jazz, alternative pop and even a great (?) reggae cover of an ’80s whistling-heavy hit. Whistle along with WAFFLES! Tracks this episode: WAFFLES! […]

It’s Matt’s birthday, so it’s all Matthews on the show today, from Sweet to Millz and many more besides — also giving Marisa a chance to play her fave band evars, The National (thanks, Matt Berenger). A sad tribute at the end for a fallen Matt as well. Find of the week: ChessClub! Songs: WAFFLES! […]

Vegans! Who are they? What mysteries do they hold? Christina Avery of Knifey Spooney co-hosts a cruelty-free edition of WAFFLES!, talking about the upcoming Night Market, veganism, and lots more. Pigs are discussed! Plus some amazing new music from Steve Benjamins, Hillsburn, and more! Carnaval des Animaux :: Camille Saint-Saens A Fish on Land :: […]

Ghoooooooooooooooost Riders in the Skyyyyyyyyyy!! Jeremy co-hosts for another Super Hero Songbook, this time looking at the convoluted history and many identities of B-tier Marvel superhero Ghost Rider. Jeremy also challenges Henry Rollins to a fight. Does he show up to throw down? Find out! WAFFLES! :: Teen Titans Ghost Riders in the Sky :: […]

We aren’t experts in Afrofuturism, but we’re learning! A quick tour of Afrofuturism past and present, from the mothership of Sun Ra to the technologically infused pop/hip-hop of Janelle Monae. Music: WAFFLES theme :: Teen Titans Space is the Place :: Sun Ra Astro’s Revenge :: Haolin Munk Courage :: The Souljazz Orchestra Cold Feet […]

No fewer than 27 versions of the Beatles’ “Yesterday,” as Matt, without Marisa to act as the voice of reason on the show, goes a bit bonkers. From the Bach-infused classical of John Bayless to the aggressive Indian metal of Nicotine, to the stone cold Marvin Gaye classic, this is “Yesterday” as you’ve never heard […]
