This week, John Tefteller and radio historian Dr. Joe Webb are wrapping up our epic, 10-week saga into the The Whistler radio series, landing with one of the very last episodes from 1955. The story follows a husband who believes he has found the perfect way to hide his infidelity, by turning to murder. But as listeners of The Whistler knew, carefully planned crimes never unfolded the way they should, and secrets always had a way of catching up with those who tried to bury them. It's a tried-and-true formula that listeners came to expect from the series, and we get them all here. John and Joe discuss how Armed Forces Radio Service recordings and home recordings helped save broadcasts that networks once considered disposable. There is a show notes website!

We're joined this week by researcher Karl Schadow to take a look at the remarkable career of writer Robert Bloch, best known today as the author of Psycho, but whose work in radio deserves a look. Bloch got his start writing for the pulp magazines, including Weird Tales, where he developed his style of horror influenced by H. P. Lovecraft. In this episode, we hear a radio adaptation of Bloch's "Yours Truly, Jack the Ripper," which brings the legendary murderer into the modern world. We also hear "Almost Human," a story about a robot that appears to possess a mind of its own. Together, these broadcasts show just how versatile Bloch could be, moving between horror, mystery, and science fiction long before artificial intelligence became part of everyday conversation.

Once again John Tefteller and radio historian Dr. Joe Webb are here to continue our 10-part series featuring the popular radio series, The Whistler. Today we are featuring a story about a man who has built a comfortable life through deception and is now working with a blackmailer to take advantage of his wealthy wife. But when Mr. Penny threatens to reveal secrets from his past, the partnership quickly turns into a dangerous game. John and Joe discuss the talented writers behind the episode and the challenges of identifying many of radio's uncredited performers. There is a show notes website!

Finally we come to the broadcast we've been building toward: Jack Benny's 1949 Ford Theater radio adaptation of The Horn Blows at Midnight. After spending the past few weeks hearing the incredible build-up to this broadcast on his own show, we finally get to hear the story itself. Benny stars as Nathaniel, an inexperienced angel sent to Earth with a very serious assignment: blow his trumpet at midnight and signal the destruction of the world. But after meeting a few ordinary people and seeing both their struggles and their capacity for kindness, Nathaniel begins to wonder whether humanity deserves another chance. Claude Rains co-stars in this unusual fantasy-comedy, which turns one of the most famous "failures" of Benny's film career into a warm story about peace, compassion, and the possibility of redemption.

This week, John Tefteller and radio historian Dr. Joe Webb continue our 10-week Whistler series. We're in 1948 today with a story that follows a gifted violinist whose obsession with owning a rare instrument drives him to commit an unthinkable crime. But while week after week people tuned into Lights Out! to hear villains getting their gruesome comeuppance, The Whistler reminded listeners that getting what you want always comes at a price, dealt by our old friend, "the fickle finger of fate." John and Joe take a look behind the scenes at one of the more unusual chapters in Whistler history. They explain how sponsor Household Finance Corporation requested a toned-down version of the series, resulting in a second production of the same script with a different cast, a softer narrator, and a less cynical feel.

We are continuing our run of The Jack Benny Program as we get even closer to Jack's much-anticipated radio adaptation of The Horn Blows at Midnight. In this February 1949 episode, Jack is taking violin lessons. Guest Claude Rains shows up. He is locked into the contract to play opposite Benny in The Ford Theater adaptation, and naturally, it's a last ditch plea to get Jack to “throw” the program. This is a hilarious show, well-written, a well-established weekly tradition for American radio listening fun on Sunday evenings, and still holds up great today.

This week, John Tefteller and radio historian Dr. Joe Webb continue our Whistler series with a story about Clyde (no, this has nothing to do with the Phil Harris-Alice Faye Show). He is a jealous ballroom dancer who believes his young wife is about to leave him for her new dance partner, Ricky. Determined to stop them, he puts together “the perfect plan” to commit murder and pin the crime on his unsuspecting rival. But, as the trademark of this series goes, one small detail threatens to bring the entire scheme crashing down. John and Joe discuss the career of radio actor Marvin Miller and share some behind-the-scenes insights into the way these programs were written, including how scripts were sometimes adjusted on the fly during live broadcasts.

We continue our run of The Jack Benny Program as we get closer to Jack's much-anticipated radio adaptation of The Horn Blows at Midnight. In this episode, Jack gets pressure to call off the show, first from the producer of The Ford Theater, Fletcher Markle, and then the powerful studio executive Jack Warner (one of the legendary Warner Brothers). Jack Benny, known behind-the-scenes for his strict adherence to the script, has a rare extended adlib as Jack Warner loses his place and the show goes off the rails. It was live radio after all. The cast is delightful, as usual, and includes Rochester (Eddie Anderson), Phil Harris, and Mary Livingstone. This is a sharp, extremely well-written radio comedy, and the Jack Benny Program at the absolute top of its game.

Today John Tefteller and radio historian Dr. Joe Webb continue our Whistler series with a clever 1946 episode s set in the romantic world of the golden age of radio studio. An announcer, played by Joseph Kearns, believes he's devised the perfect murder with an airtight alibi. But as always with The Whistler, even the most carefully constructed scheme can come undone in the most unexpected way (as Jack Benny's satires on these types of programs put it, “the fickle finger of fate”). John and Joe dig into the production history of the episode, discussing the cast, the writers, and a few interesting details about radio broadcasting in the 1940s. There is a show notes website!

This week, John Tefteller continues our short run of The Jack Benny Program with another 1949 episode leading up to Jack's much-loved radio sendup of The Horn Blows at Midnight. The show picks up with Jack still trying to force announcer Don Wilson to sign his new contract. From there, Jack attempts to land a starring role in a radio production, competing with Vincent Price during a rehearsal at Claudette Colbert's home. Also on this episode is the producer of the Ford Theater, Fletcher Markle.

This week, John Tefteller and radio historian Dr. Joe Webb continue our Whistler series with a 1946 sustaining broadcast titled "The Broken Chain." The story follows Arnold Stanton, a man convinced the only way out of his unhappy marriage is murder. After carefully staging what appears to be a tragic accident, strange encounters and unsettling clues begin to make him question everything he thought he knew. John and Joe discuss the differences between the sponsored and sustaining versions of The Whistler, explore some of the production techniques that gave the series its distinctive sound, and talk about why these classic suspense stories remain so enjoyable nearly eighty years later.

This week, we're starting something we have meant to do for awhile: The Horn Blows At Midnight radio broadcast on The Ford Theater (starring Jack Benny and Claude Rains). It is an entertaining program by itself, but what makes this so special is the incredible build up on The Jack Benny Program that went for weeks prior to the broadcast, and was one of Jack's most hilariously written self-parodies. We're starting with The Jack Benny Show right before the running gag kicked off, broadcast on January 30, 1949. This episode finds Jack settling into his new home at CBS following his much-publicized move from NBC, and includes another running gag that has announcer Don Wilson locked in Benny's den.

This week, John Tefteller and radio historian Dr. Joe Webb continue our Whistler series with a terrific 1944 episode titled "Death Sees Double." At the center of the story are identical twin sisters whose lives are torn apart by jealousy. One of them is determined to take over the other's life, including the man she loves, but things don't unfold quite the way she planned. John and Joe spotlight the incredible double performance of Lurene Tuttle, playing both sisters. They also talk about the talent of Golden Age radio performers, who often delivered complex, polished performances with very little rehearsal. There is a show notes website!

This week we have something unusual; two rare Henry Morgan broadcasts from the early days of World War II, both preserved from original transcription discs and unheard by collectors for decades. The first program aired on Christmas Day 1941, just weeks after Pearl Harbor. The broadcast is cut short for an interesting live report from Honolulu, offering a firsthand glimpse into life in Hawaii as the nation adjusted after the events of Pearl Harbor. The second show, from January 1942, finds Henry Morgan settling into the sharp satire that would later make him famous. He takes aim at everything from jukeboxes to offbeat inventors with the irreverence that became his trademark.

We really hate this show.
This week, John Tefteller and radio historian Dr. Joe Webb continue our Whistler series with a 1944 episode about an artist who commits the perfect crime,,, or so he thinks. When a wealthy woman provides him with an unexpected alibi, the two are drawn together in a relationship built on secrets and mutual suspicion. As the years pass, the past refuses to stay buried, and what starts as a murder mystery gradually turns into a tense psychological battle. John and Joe take a closer look at what made The Whistler one of radio's premier series. They discuss Signal Oil's role in supporting the program's high production values, the unforgettable narration of Bill Forman, and the performances of real-life husband-and-wife team Elliott and Cathy Lewis. It's another excellent example of the clever writing and atmospheric storytelling that made The Whistler a radio classic. There is a show notes website!

Today, we spotlight two new Marx releases that are a feast for the eyes: Richard S. Greene's book, "Marx Madvertising", overflowing with ads, stills, and promotional artwork, then (at 43:56) Andrew Murchie's fascinating new 3D conversion of "Animal Crackers"—available on disc or as a download, complete with a commentary by your favorite podcast hosts. We talk with both creators about how these passion projects came to life and what fans can expect. We also explore how modern tools are helping preserve—and even reimagine—Marx history, from restoring fragile artwork to bringing the Brothers (even Zeppo) into three dimensions. Plus, we announce a giveaway in which you can win a copy of "Animal Crackers 3D".
We've got another round of ridiculous comedy with a 1945 Armed Forces Radio Service broadcast of It Pays to Be Ignorant. Host Tom Howard and his panel of "experts", including Lulu McConnell and Harry McNaughton, take the stupid questions and from there pure chaos ensues. The puns come fast, and nobody is interested in getting the right answer. Originally distributed to American servicemen near the end of World War II, this episode also includes a few interactions with military guests. This comes straight from an original transcription disc, preserving the outstanding sound quality of this delightfully zany radio classic. If you're in the mood for pure, carefree nonsense, this one's hard to beat.

This week, John Tefteller and radio historian Dr. Joe Webb continue our journey through The Whistler with an early episode from June 1943. "Shadow of a Mind" comes from a time before the series settled into the style fans know today, making it an interesting glimpse at the show's experimental beginnings. The story follows a surgeon determined to save his dying daughter by attempting an extraordinary medical procedure involving her fiancé. What begins as a desperate act of love soon ventures into territory that feels more like Frankenstein than a traditional mystery, blending suspense with science fiction and horror. After the drama, John and Joe take a look at how The Whistler evolved over the years, discuss actor Howard McNear and the early cast, and explain how the series gradually shifted away from these supernatural-style stories to become one of radio's most well-known suspense programs.

We're headed to Camp Elliott in 1943 for a wartime broadcast of The Bob Burns Show, also known as The Arkansas Traveler. This episode has a little bit of everything: Bob Burns' down-home humor, a sketch about military training, and a real treat for Spike Jones fans performing the rarely heard "Zip Your Lip and Save a Ship," a song that was never commercially recorded. You'll also hear the kind of sponsor messages that instantly transport you back to the 1940s, complete with musical commercials for Lifebuoy Soap. As John Tefteller explains, this recording survived thanks to a thrift store discovery on original transcription discs.

This week, we're joined once again by radio historian Dr. Joe Webb for a new 10-week series, this time dedicated to the popular thriller series, The Whistler. We're starting off with a rare episode that few listeners have ever heard. Originally broadcast in 1946 from Chicago's WBBM, "The Croupier's Wife" was recently rediscovered, making this a lost-and-found treasure. The story follows a quiet casino roulette dealer whose life takes a dangerous turn as he and his ambitious wife become entangled in a scheme driven by the promise of easy money. After the drama, John and Joe explore the fascinating history behind this regional production, discuss writer Stuart Novins, and share the remarkable and tragic story of actor Everett Clarke, whose life ended in shocking circumstances years after his radio career.

Today we wrap up radio's most creative late comedies with the final broadcast of The Stan Freberg Show from 1957. By this point, Stan Freberg had already made a name for himself as a voice actor and hit recording artist, but his radio show proved he was also one of the sharpest satirists of his generation. This farewell episode plays like a greatest hits collection, bringing back some of his funniest musical parodies and sketches, taking aim at everything from television westerns to advertising and network censorship. It's a fitting sendoff for a show that was clever and in many ways ahead of its time. Unfortunately, even Freberg's brilliant writing couldn't stop the tide as television rapidly took over American entertainment.

Today it's a 1947 episode of Escape featuring a radio adaptation of H.G. Wells' classic story, "The Country of the Blind." Starring the versatile Paul Frees, it's a social commentary dressed up as an eerie adventure story. It follows a mountain climber who stumbles into a hidden valley where everyone has been blind for generations. Certain that his ability to see will make him extraordinary, he quickly discovers that the people around him don't see it that way at all. In fact, they believe he's the one with the problem.

It's the first Tuesday of the month, and we are bringing you another “lost" program, the long-missing 1947 fall premiere of The Henry Morgan Show. Back from his summer break, Morgan wastes no time taking aim at everything in sight. Through a mix of topical jokes, satire, and absurd sketches, he pokes fun at the radio world of the time, including famous news commentators like Gabriel Heatter and H.V. Kaltenborn. You'll also hear Eversharp razor commercials worked into the comedy, something that would eventually leave Morgan sponsor-less.

Happy 4th of July again. This year, we are featuring yet another Norman Corwin production. This is a World War II-era Independence Day drama from 1944: "Home for the Fourth," featuring a score by Bernard Herrmann. It's about a young soldier named Eddie who comes home on leave to spend the Fourth of July with his family and friends. But as the holiday unfolds, unexpected news changes the mood and reminds everyone just how deeply the war touched ordinary lives. More than eighty years later, we get a glimpse through Corwin's idealistic lens into the hopes and fears of families living through one of the most challenging periods in American history.

We're taking a look at a weird piece of broadcasting history, a 1955 episode of The Edgar Bergen Show from the twilight years of network radio. If you're expecting classic Charlie McCarthy, you may be surprised. By 1955, radio entertainment was on life support, and many longtime stars were experimenting with new formats to stay on the air. In this version of the show, Edgar Bergen serves more as a host and disc jockey than a ventriloquist, introducing interviews, pre-recorded music, and feature segments instead of the comedy that made him famous. You'll hear a conversation with Admiral Felix Stump about military affairs in the Pacific, and even a discussion of Shakespeare. This broadcast offers a rare snapshot of a medium in transition, as radio legends adapted to a changing entertainment landscape and the television era began to take over.

We're returning to early Inner Sanctum this week to bring you a 1944 episode starring the incomparable Peter Lorre. Lorre plays a comedian who becomes convinced that he committed murder. As the story unfolds, paranoia takes over, leading to the kind of outrageous plot twists that made Inner Sanctum a radio favorite. This version comes from the Armed Forces Radio Service and includes a special introduction and narration by Peter Lorre himself, a feature not heard on the original network broadcast. As an added bonus, the recording concludes with a brief teaser for still lost episode starring Boris Karloff.

Tuesday is occasionally reserved for the bizarre, and we've got that for you today. The CBS Radio Workshop was an experimental program, often with programs that defied conventional tropes. Originally broadcast in April 1956, "The Record Collectors" is an over-the-top satire hosted by John Dehner. The program introduces two eccentric (and fictional) record collectors who are convinced that music peaked with 78 RPM records. As they spar with real-life musical guests including Margaret Whiting and Lynn Murray, they take aim at all the latest innovations of that day, including high fidelity sound, LP records, and just about everything else.

The story follows an elderly grandfather who discovers a way to trap Death in a magical apple tree. This will be the second time we've presented this story, but with a completely different cast.

It's episode 500, and if you will forgive a self-aggrandizing episode, we think we've earned a show where we talk about The Good Old Days Of Radio Show for almost three hours. You may not want to hear this, but we're going back beyond the podcast, to the show's early beginnings on early '90s local radio, and even get to hear what John Tefteller sounded like back then. Then in the second half of the podcast, we are joined by the President of SPERDVAC Corey Harker and old time radio legends John and Larry Gassman, for a lively round table conversation about radio preservation. If you want a deeper appreciation for the programs you hear on this show, and what goes into it, (we think) this is a great episode you should listen to!

Today, we dig into a rare Inner Sanctum Mystery broadcast, with a very early 1941 episode starring Myron McCormick. According to most sources, only a fragment of this broadcast survived, but we have a transcription disc containing the entire story, making this a real treat for fans of early radio horror. The story takes us to a remote Arctic mountain shrouded in legend, where a group of climbers sets out to find a missing explorer. Local stories speak of a cursed peak and an ancient frost god, but as the expedition pushes higher into the ice and snow, secrets from an earlier expedition begin to surface, along with a man willing to do anything to keep the truth buried.

This week, we're spending some time with Jack Benny and the gang in a March 1947 episode of The Jack Benny Program, as Jack gets ready for a vaudeville tour that will take him to Chicago and New York. Jack's sophisticated neighbor Ronald Colman is his guest on this show, and is forced to ride in his famously worn-out car. John shares a little background on the show's writing team and the feud between Jack Benny and Fred Allen.

This week, we've got a rare find: Inner Sanctum Mystery with the long-lost 1944 episode “The Dream,” with an appearance by Orson Welles, of all people, as star on the show, at a time where Welles had reached the peak of his celebrity status. Host John Tefteller shares the story behind the recording, made by engineer Rudy Van Gelder. The story follows Judge Robert Branscolm, a respected man troubled by a vivid, violent dream, one where he murders a stranger with a silver-handled cane. Disturbing enough… until he finds himself presiding over a case involving that exact crime. A true rediscovery, and a great moment for vintage radio fans and historians alike.

It's the first Tuesday of the month again, and that means we're bringing out a “lost” show. This week, we're turning to comedy, and this one we consider quite special, as it belongs to the off-beat and somewhat infamous comedy series, The Henry Morgan Show. From about late in its first season in ‘47, most of the episodes are missing, which has left much about the series strictly lore. This is one of those missing ones, from an original transcription disc found on a sidewalk years ago. This is the finale of the first season, and Morgan takes aim at everything from breakfast shows to Lights Out! with his sarcastic style. It's smart, fast, and a little ahead of its time. There's even a surprise celebrity appearance, which you will just have to hear to believe.

Send us a text about your favourite films relating to the episode.Welcome back to another episode of My Film vs My Inspiration. This episode I'm talking to Jonathan Geffner the writer, producer and star of the film and his co-star Ed Altman about their fantastic new film The Dummy Detective, and the inspirational films behind the film, Animal Crackers, The Maltese Falcon and Agatha Christie adaptions. On this one Jonathan talks about the different tones he tries balance in making the film, mixing comedy and film noir together. Jonathan talks about how he avoided falling into horror cliches about ventriloquism. Ed talks about how he approached his character and how his character is arguably the heart and soul of the film. Plus I talk to them about amazing it was to work with the great Sean Young.

Today we've got a mystery for you, and we're asking help from all amateur and professional researchers in our audience: help us figure out this episode of Lights Out! We know it's an early one, and that's about it. It comes with no confirmed title or air date. Instead of the usual supernatural chills, this one leans hard into gritty crime drama. It follows a gang of bank robbers whose plan unravels into a chain of double-crosses, jealousy, and murder, as each one tries to come out on top. As you'd expect from Lights Out, it all builds to a dark ending, with the final moments centered on a condemned man facing his fate. UPDATE: A quick follow-up on this mystery show. Much of it remains unconfirmed, however we have been able to put together a series of educated guesses thanks to our friends Researcher Karl Schadow and Dr. Joe Webb. The first half-hour Lights Out show was broadcast on April 18, 1934. That places this one between that date and April 10, 1935. No titles are listed in any newspaper listings of that time, so we're no closer to a title. However, the introduction to the episode points strongly to it being an audition or the first episode of a new season. During the opening intro, the announcer states the program is broadcast Wednesday at Midnight. That day and time matches many newspaper log entries from 1934. That means the script would have been written by Wyllis Cooper. At the moment, that's what we are able to infer from the clues we have.

Today we've got a 1944 broadcast featuring Fanny Brice as Baby Snooks and the Wizard of Oz himself, Frank Morgan. They partnered together for a short time on Maxwell House Coffee Time, a condensed half-hour comedy/variety show. This version comes from an Armed Forces Radio Service recording, so instead of the original commercials, you'll hear music filling those breaks, the way it went out to the troops during the war. This is a direct disc transfer, with no restoration, so it is a little scratchy. The show itself is classic Snooks chaos. Frank Morgan spins some wild stories about his “inventions,” while Snooks does everything she can to keep her poor father from getting a moment of peace.

We go all the way back to 1939 for one of the earliest surviving episodes of Lights Out, the sum total of which you can count on one hand. This one follows two hardened criminals on the run after a string of brutal crimes, thinking they've finally found a place to lay low. But on a foggy night, they cross paths with a snappy-dressed stranger who knows far too much about them. From there, the story takes a dark turn. This show certainly pushed the boundaries of what could be done on the air in ‘39, with gory sound effects and torture scenes throughout that make you wonder how they got away with some of this stuff. It's also a bit of an oddity, since it was based on a Lights Out! fan-fic.

This week, we're stepping into a big, star-packed 1946 radio special celebrating 45 years of Walgreens. Bob Hope plays host (and hotel owner) in a fast-moving comedy variety show signature of the era, filled with one-liners, sketches, and a lineup of big budget guests including (but not limited to) the Andrews Sisters, Frank Morgan, and Dennis Day. We're not sure if this was really radio's “biggest” show, but it was a live entertainment event, and a snapshot of radio at its peak, when big names, live music, and comedy all came together for a full hour of A-list Hollywood glam.

This week, we wrap up our 10-part Crime Classics series with an unusual true crime story. John Tefteller is once again joined by researcher Karl Schadow and Bernard Herrmann expert Steven C. Smith to take a last look at what made this show so unique. This 1954 episode leans into the series' signature mix of dark humor and true crime, telling a gritty tale of a heist gone wrong on the streets of Baltimore. It's clever, a little twisted, and very much in line with what Crime Classics did best. Along the way, the conversation highlights Bernard Herrmann's unforgettable music, and the show's almost literary style. It's a fitting finale; dark, smart, and a great sendoff to one of radio's most creative series.

We're on the final week on our Crime Classics series on Thursday, and today we've got a fun late-era episode of The Phil Harris–Alice Faye Show from March 1954 to feature the comedy work of Elliott Lewis. The police are after Phil for something, and of course he is hiding under the porch. All of the usual over-the-top Harris-Faye madness ensues from there. You'll also hear RCA Victor ads up front, plus a few interesting notes about changes behind the scenes during the show's final season.

This week, we dive into another famous true crime story, Crime Classics brings us “The Bloody, Bloody Banks of Fall River.” Host John Tefteller is joined by researcher Karl Schadow and Bernard Herrmann biographer Steven C. Smith to unpack this 1950s take on the Lizzie Borden case. The episode walks us through the tense, tightly wound world of the Borden household, leading up to the infamous murders and the trial that followed. It's a familiar story, but Crime Classics gives it a unique edge with its dry narration and psychological focus. We also take an in-depth look at Bernard Herrmann's score, which uses just a few instruments to build tension. It's a perfect example of how this series could take a well-known case and make it feel fresh, unsettling, and gripping.

This week, to enhance our Crime Classics episode from last Thursday, we have a Robert Bloch story that was talked about in that episode called, “Yours Truly, Jack the Ripper,” presented on the Molle Mystery Theater. This story takes the infamous killer out of Victorian London and drops him into modern-day Chicago… with a twist. What if Jack the Ripper never died? What if he's been staying alive all these years through something darker? The story follows Sir Guy Hollis, a man obsessed with tracking the killer, as his search leads him closer and closer to the truth.

This week, we step into the foggy streets of Victorian London with Crime Classics, and possibly the most intriguing real-life unsolved mysteries of all time, “Good Evening, My Name Is Jack the Ripper.” John Tefteller, along with researcher Karl Schadow and Bernard Herrmann biographer Steven C. Smith, takes a closer look at the Whitechapel murders, focusing not just on the crimes, but on the lives of the victims and the fear that gripped the city. Along the way, the discussion highlights the often-overlooked people behind the scenes: sound effects artists, assistant directors, and others who helped create that immersive atmosphere.

Today, we conclude our Lincoln-themed series through the lens of time travel, from The Mysterious Traveler, with a story about a physicist and a historian attempting to project a modern mind into the past, hoping to prevent Lincoln's assassination. The plan is to influence events from the inside… but things don't go as expected. In true radio fashion, the story takes a sharp turn that flips the entire mission on its head.

Matthew joins us in New York City for our first-ever episode in front of a live audience, recorded at the Museum of the Moving Image—just steps from Kaufman-Astoria Studios, where the Marxes filmed their first two movies. We kick things off with a quick dive into Horse Feathers (because The Cocoanuts or Animal Crackers felt a little too obvious), before welcoming Craig Shemin for a look at the studio's ongoing history. Next, we take questions from the audience, and are then joined by the great Cinco Paul, whose Schmigadoon! is set to premiere on Broadway. Finally, we make a special announcement about an upcoming project before Cinco serenades us with a closing song.
We kick off FOLLOW UP by checking in on Elon Musk's personal dumpster fire, where the EU is investigating Grok for deepfake slop while Tesla's “unsupervised” robotaxis turned out to be supervised by literal chase cars — shocker. At least some of you are getting Siri settlement crumbs in your bank accounts, though you could probably double it betting against Musk's worthless promises on Polymarket.Transitioning to IN THE NEWS, Tesla is killing off the Model S and X to build robots while sales crater, proving that mixing hard-right politics with EV sales is a brilliant move for the balance sheet. Meanwhile, the corporate bloodbath continues with massive layoffs at Ubisoft, Vimeo (courtesy of the Bending Spoons buzzsaw), and Amazon, because “removing bureaucracy” is apparently HR-speak for 16,000 families losing their livelihoods. If that's not enough, Google is settling yet another privacy suit for $135 million, the EU is threatening to weaponize its tech sovereignty against the US, and the Trump administration wants Gemini to write federal regulations—because if there's one thing we want drafting airline safety rules, it's a hallucinating chatbot.Still IN THE NEWS, Waymo is under federal investigation for passing school buses and hitting children, while South Korea's new AI laws manage to please absolutely no one. Record labels are suing Anna's Archive for a cool $13 trillion—roughly three times the GDP of India—and the Winklevoss twins have finally admitted that NFTs are dead by shuttering Nifty Gateway.We pivot to MEDIA CANDY, where the Patriots and Seahawks are heading to Super Bowl 60, and the Winter Olympics are descending on Milan. We're doing the math on the Starfleet Academy timeline, celebrating the return of Ted Lasso and Shrinking, and trying to decide if Henry Cavill is the second coming of Timothy Dalton in the Highlander reboot. Plus, Jessica Jones is back in the Daredevil: Born Again trailer, and Colin Farrell's Sugar is returning to explain that wild noir twist we all totally saw coming.In APPS & DOODADS, the TikTok Armageddon is upon us as the new US owners break the app and drive everyone to UpScrolled, while Native Instruments enters insolvency, leaving our music-making dreams in restructuring limbo. Apple is dropping AirTag 2 with precision finding for your watch, which is great for finding the keys you lost while doom-scrolling.We wrap up with THE DARK SIDE WITH DAVE, featuring the new Muppets trailer and Steve Whitmire's deep thoughts on the state of the felt, plus a look at the artisans in Disneyland Handcrafted. Finally, Looney Tunes finds a new home on Turner Classic Movies, proving that the classics never die—they just move to a cable channel your parents actually watch. Dave finally learns about the Insta360 camera, a countertop dishwasher but no Animal Crackers, and a guide to gas masks and googles... for no particular reason.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use promo code GOG at checkout.SquareSpace - go to squarespace.com/GRUMPY for a free trial.
