Established thought leaders with verified media credentials.
Married hosts Rob and Leslie Shoecraft invite you into their closet (literally) for a podcast that’s equal parts nostalgia trip, music nerd-out, and absurd banter. Born from a joke about how the audience probably won’t like it, the show leans into that spirit—riffing on everything from Star Trek episodes and Kitty Wells deep cuts, to feet, crockpots, and cover songs that live on YouTube thanks to copyright. Each week, the conversation drifts like two people killing time in line for a concert—unexpected, hilarious, and sometimes strangely profound. Future episodes explore growing up in the 80s and 90s, The Dollhouse Murders, “5 of 5” and borrowed chords in music theory, bodybuilding meal prep, Wu-Tang Clan, Gordon Lightfoot, Alan Thicke, Herb Alpert, and whatever other rabbit holes pop up along the way. If you like side tangents, forgotten pop culture, and covers of songs your mom might love, you might just find that you do like it after all.

We stand “in line” for an Outkast concert and let the conversation wander from parenting math and bedtime TV to a full-on breakdown of a movie that entertains us while also making us feel genuinely uneasy. We end in our
We turn Mother’s Day into a pop culture draft and argue about which fictional moms feel like real parenting. Along the way we share what’s been hectic at home, what we’re reading, and why Jimmy Buffett’s “Six String Musi

We watch Star Trek’s “The Trouble With Tribbles” and then Deep Space Nine’s “Trials And Tribbleations” to see how the same story hits in two eras and why the tribute works so well. Then we switch gears and play a cover o
We bounce from music, TV, and games the way we actually talk while “waiting in line” together, and it somehow turns into real recommendations. We nerd out over Bob Dylan, argue our bedtime sitcom rankings, compare Hogwar
We bounce from our weekly media spiral into a full Sister Act 2 rewatch and realize the movie’s logic barely holds together while the music still hits like a freight train. We end by nerding out over The Flaming Lips “Yo
We trade the fiction books we can’t stop revisiting, from classic kid survival stories to big nerdy sci-fi series that reward another pass. We also squeeze in our James Taylor concert line chatter, then wrap with our own
We put Mystery Science Theater 3000 under a microscope by watching Mitchell and letting the riffs and a full block of mid-90s VHS commercials reshape the whole experience. Then we switch gears to The Kinks’ Waterloo Suns

We bounce from basement banter to dark books, cult musicals, and classic TV theme songs, then pull it all together with a mashup performance. We argue about what makes parody work, why nostalgia hits so hard, and how ove
We dive from Blondie’s Parallel Lines to Alanis’s All I Really Want, then into the X-Files’ creepiest early villain, with a pit stop at a Nine Inch Nails arena show and a Bruno Mars performance masterclass. We argue what
We bounce from peak-period Earth, Wind & Fire to Fallout’s sharp TV adaptation and then dive headlong into Event Horizon’s culty sci‑fi horror before closing with a deep, joyful groove on Bill Withers’ Use Me. Along the
We trace a practical path for working out with migraines while still living a full life, then unwind with Russian Doll’s brainy chaos and a warm Tom Petty cover. Hydration, mobility, and smarter intensity take center sta
We own up to a Groundhog Day blind spot, tighten some dangling facts, and then sink into why Taxi’s Jim episodes still crackle. A Rancid “Old Friend” cover closes the loop as we talk chords, bass lines, and making music
Two hours of playful debate turn into a sharp thought experiment about living one day for decades, framed by a Kubrick gut punch, a 90s action rewatch, and a tender dive into Icelandic indie pop. We wrestle with memory,
Two married hosts chase curiosity across dimensions, from a war movie’s spike of adrenaline to a Victorian satire’s mind-bend and a girl-group classic’s theatrical punch. We compare three Flatland films, argue over adapt
