Shadeaux Public Radio

Highly sanitized and frisky, the Shadeaux Bros. emote into microphones for a while. Matters of high import are discussed. A song of healing joy is written.

Shadeaux Public Radio graces the airwaves with the first transmission from their new studio, The Shadeaux Aquarium. Matters of great import are discussed covering the width and breadth of their multimedia empire. NORA. The People v. Star Trek Voyager. A Spell for Winter. And even the main podcast itself. Revelation after revelation is revelated and secrets untold are toldened, all while flogging the Patreon for more and more funds. Tune in! You can’t dare not to!!!

Good evening, Defenders of Christmas. Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa, and all the rest! Whatever you celebrate, we hope that you’re having a great time with your family, loved ones, and moderately tolerated ones. To help with that, we’ve overstuffed this podcast special with every single Christmas album we’ve ever done. All 10 albums in one place. So let’s close out this Christmas evening in the best way possible. Enjoy.

Merry Christmas from Shadeaux Public Radio and the Shadeaux Bros! A SPELL FOR WINTER is our 10th Christmas Album, but our first full original musical (!).  Cast WINTER, a struggling wizard focused on the difficult study of magic : AMY COENEN KILOMETER FOX, her familiar : JONATHAN SPARKS MARWICK, a classmate - DUSTIN AH KUOI SUMTER, a classmate : REBEKAH LEE VENN, a classmate : MATT HARDY HELONA, a classmate : JORDAN RICHEY A GHOST : JOSH DARNELL Location The ARCANE CITY of LORE Time FIFTH TURN Deep abiding thanks to our cast who mobilized for us with almost zero notice and delivered such great performances.

The Shadeaux Bros. return unapologetically to the airwaves, with absolutely nothing to show for their long absence. Their excuses are extremely weak to boot! Enjoy some piping hot news coverage, a burgeoning feud with local periodical, Flagpole, and a new song that’s just kind of upsetting and dark! All this AND long-winded navel-gazing about the purpose of art and why it’s Very Important that Derek Didn’t Like the Good Omens show.

This penurious recording overflows with hidden knowledge and vague errata of the Shadeaux Public Radio and it's lugubrious stratagems. Also, the bois take a stab at writing a new podcast theme for Fun Things: The Podcast (coming soon!) but discover that the psychic toll of working on the Christmas musical WELL into march is something to be reckoned with.patreon.com/shadeaux

Guest Performers: Josh Darnell, Sam Hopkins, Margot Hitchcock, Andrew Rabanal, Jordan Richey, Matt Hardy, Dustin Ah Kuoi, and Brian Smith Patrick Najjar as Odbody Derek Adams as D. Shadeaux Jonathan Sparks as J. Shadeaux Written by: Derek Adams Original Music/Sound Design/Arrangement and Produced by: Jonathan Sparks

The courtroom is thrown into chaos when Harry Kim swears under space oath that he remembers being in his mother’s womb. Also: Characters (finally) begin to develop! The writers make an honest-yet-ultimately-unsuccessful attempt to handle Chakotay’s Native American heritage more sensitively! The crew of Voyager must fly their way out of a giant cloud creature that they flew their way into because they needed to repair the damage they did when they flew their way out of it the first time! Will they survive? Will they find Janeway some damn coffee before she lays waste to the Delta Quadrant? Most importantly, will Judge Later find “The Cloud” to be good… or garbage?

The Board-certified legal gladiators of Judge Later’s courtroom follow Voyager on a breezy jaunt into the world of organ theft! Janeway engages in some intense moral sparring with a threatening new alien race that will almost certainly never, ever bedevil the days of the Voyager crew again, Kess and Neelix’s relationship reaches staggering new heights of codependency, and the writer’s room shatters the Starfleet record for fastest ever treatment of the “right-to-die” issue. Will these admirably dark thematic turns be enough to deflect the Space Court’s wrath? Can the episode find justice in spite of another squandered opportunity to kill Neelix? Is “The Phage” good… or is it garbage?

The Season Finale is just so final. Runeclock Sequence ends. Song Laboratory Ends. Sadness and tears at the terminus.  Milo Ventimiglia did appear in this episode... and he was terrible. 

Things get dicey for the defense team as Voyager takes an ill-advised journey into the past, all the way… to yesterday?! Join the Voices from the Past as they unspool a perplexing yarn about the dangers of nuclear power, or maybe the dangers of eco-terrorism, or maybe both or neither. It also might be about colonialism or something like that. Can Janeway and Paris harness the might of temporal junk science to save a civilization and escape the most annoying kid in the quadrant? Can Commander Spurlock help this episode escape the “garbage” verdict that it pretty clearly deserves?

The Brothers of Shadeaux delve deeply into future plans and scheduling concerns. The End grows ever more adjacent. The future grows dark - or bright? Who can say? Runeclock Session 4 included for no extra cost. A hearbreaking solo for Lissa is written in the Krull musical. Danny Trejo did not appear in this episode.

The courtroom drama ignites as Voyager plunges headlong into the fast-paced, take-no-prisoners world of departmental staffing assignments. The Voices from the Past mourn when a perfectly good staff meeting is ruined by a camera-rattling collision with a TYPE 4(!!!) quantum singularity, but their spirits are restored as Janeway and Torres bond over science and shuttle feels. Will the courtroom of Judge Midnightien Later find its way to the proper verdict? Or will justice drown in a frozen pond of workplace sass? No Hal Jordans were possessed in the making of this episode.

EYES UP, GUARDIAN. Them Brojazzles are writing some more of their Krull musical this week along with the usual pop culture and topical news discussion. Also a hype video! Of dubious execution! Larry Fishburne did not appear in this episode.

The legal warriors of Future Space Court continue to argue the merits of “Caretaker” as an effective pilot episode. The Voices from the Past struggle to ignore the cracks as the episode’s pacing falls apart, Janeway shoots the Prime Directive right out the airlock, and Paris is revealed to be inexplicably insensitive to Chakotay’s ethnocultural background. Will a surprise take on the Star Trek “tiny god” trope and a strong final scene be enough to save “Caretaker” from the harsh judgement of the court? Is Star Trek: Voyager’s pilot episode good—or is it garbage?

The place is Space Court. The year is The Future. The question at hand is one that has shattered homes, wounded friendships, and bedeviled humanity’s greatest minds for generations: Is Star Trek: Voyager good… or is it garbage? Journey forward to the courtroom of the Honorable Judge Midnightien Later as he seeks to discern a final and legally-binding answer to this and other perplexing questions, one Voyager episode at a time. Is Janeway the purest exemplar of the overarching Star Trek ethos, or does she personify the dangers of dogmatic adherence to Starfleet’s institutional code? Is the Voyager a pretty ship? Why does the theme song never speed up? The court’s only hope for finding answers are three voices from the ancient past: The apologist, the hater, and the dude who is watching it all for the first time.

So many opinions about Taylor Swift! So many! Too many to be counted! We certainly can throw a few on that pile. The entire internet is taken to task about hiding some crucial information about a popular anime series from us. You should be ashamed. The Gray Cassette Episode XIII also included at no additional cost. M. Night Shyamalan did not appear in this episode. What. A. Twist.

A quick roundtable on the status of SPR in general. Topics of the day are bandied about. The Bros. of Shaddala unleash their emotions into a primal song of signature power. A special presentation of unsettling ramifications. Daniel Craig did not appear in this episode.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single mistake. The Brothers Shadween pick over the carcass of the Trumpcare defeat. Game of Thrones also gets gnawed upon. Runeclock Session 3 debuts. The opening number for ‘KRULL!’ is written under great heat and pressure, forming a diamond of musical theater. Anthony Scaramucci did not appear in this episode

The Shadeaux Bros. are joined by their first in-studio guest, internet heartthrob Dustin Ah Kuoi. He adds very little to the podcast. Flat-Earthers are taken to task. Excitement is unbridled about the casting of the 13th Doctor. A country song is written, with some difficulty. O.J. Simpson did not appear in this episode.

The Shadeaux Bros., somewhat lackadaisical after their intense rage in the previous episode, discuss Trump’s travels, college kids, and Lin-Manuel Miranda’s never-ending awesome opportunities. A dumb song is also written. Idris Elba did not appear in this episode.

Serious evil, political developments and the Bros. are ANGRY. A lost song from the back catalogue is resurrected. Ben Vereen did not appear in this episode.

Listener requests are perilous! The boys wrangle with a song of great difficulty and dubious content. D. Shadeaux also talks about Doctor Who for longer than is appropriate.

A wild theme song appears- shiny and new and weird. Perfect. Given even a small amount of recognition, the Shadeaux Bros. are ready to sell out. Episode three was brought to you in part by blue cups, Ed O’niell’s ghostwife, seriousness in Syria, awkward servers, awkward commercials, awkward review requests, Mike Smith, and Jingle all the Way, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sinbad.

A Shadeaux Public Radio Special Presentation.   For lovers of the mysterious and strange. With much love to Alex, Nic, and Carly.

An uncertain discussion about theme songs. A new program appears, one most mysterious. A songwriting challenge - a potent pop song with only ten words.

The very first 'proper' episode. Matters of vast political import are discussed as we attempt to unwind the dark government of His Excellency with our dumb songs.

The Shadeaux Bros. will write a song and flounder their way towards podcasting supremacy. Entertainment not guaranteed.
