Steven and Ian open this week's episode by discussing recent controversies over Snoop Dogg and Nelly performing at Trump inauguration events [0:00]. Does anyone actually have the energy to care about this? They also do a quick Sportscast on Ian's team the Eagles being in the NFC Championship game [9:20], and check in on new albums by FKA Twigs and Benjamin Booker that are also on Ian's fantasy team. Then they dig into the music of 2015 -- the highs, the lows, the stuff they remember, the stuff they remember forgetting, and more [19:13].In Recommendation Corner, Ian talks about the new album from Mogwai while Steven recommends the latest from British guitarist James Blackshaw.New episodes of Indiecast drop every Friday.

If you'd like to directly support this show and independent media, you can make a donation at Radiotopia.fm/donate. I have recently launched a newsletter.

It is re-released every year on the anniversary of the incident. A note on notes: We'd much rather you just went into each episode of The Memory Palace cold. And just let the story take you where it well. So, we don't suggest looking into the show notes first.Notes and Reading:* Most of the specific history of the White Horse was learned from "Sanctuary: the Inside Story of the Nation's Second Oldest Gay Bar" by David Olson, reprinted in its entirety on the White Horse's website.* "Gayola: Police Professionalization and the Politics of San Francisco's Gay Bars, 1950-1968," by Christopher Agee.* June Thomas' series on the past, present, and future of the gay bar from Slate a few years back.* Various articles written on the occasion of the White Horse's 80th anniversary, including this one from SFGATE.Com* Michael Bronski's A Queer History of the United States.* Radically Gay, a collection of Harry Hay's writing.* Incidentally, I watched this interview with Harry Hay from 1996 about gay life in SF in the 30's multiple times because it's amazing.Music* We start with Water in Your Hands by Tommy Guerrero.* Hit Anne Muller's Walzer fur Robert a couple of times.* Gaussian Curve does Talk to the Church.* We get a loop of Updraught from Zoe Keating.* We finish on Transient Life in Twilight by James Blackshaw
In the final episode of The Clientele Podcast, host Robin Allender talks to singer and guitarist Alasdair MacLean again, this time focussing on songwriting. It's a chance for Alasdair to look back at the early days of the band and talk about learning to play the guitar and write music. It's a very Beatles-heavy episode, but Robin and Alasdair also talk about Madness, Boards of Canada, Burial and Subway Sect, and many other musicians who helped Alasdair to develop and expand his songwriting. There is also some chat about music theory, particularly relating to chord progressions, and the idea of songwriting being a combination of technical understanding and instinct.Also, what connects The Clientele and The Great British Bake Off? Have a listen to find out!For more Beatles chat, here's Alasdair on Your Own Personal Beatles:https://play.acast.com/s/personalbeatles/alasdsair-macleanSome other songs and albums that are mentioned in this episode...Red Deer by Tom James Scott:https://tomjamesscott.bandcamp.com/album/red-deerThe Cloud of Unknowing by James Blackshaw:https://youtu.be/aWhLctzLD9g?si=BIuWs1dA8daGI8ZZPhantom Brickworks by Bibio:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WbHLIm8kDsRobin here (I don't know why I write these in the third person): Just wanted to say thank you so much for listening to this podcast series, and thanks to The Clientele for asking me to make it!

Tiffany Topol's debut album, Sophomore Effort, is a bubbly, swooning, nostalgic pop record years in the making. I'm so happy she came on this show to share her anxieties about death and have a full-on psychological epiphany.

Johanna Isaacson wrote the freakin' book on The Babadook. It's called Stepford Daughters: Weapons for Feminists in Contemporary Horror, and it's about a bunch of other horror movies too. She kicks off This Is Your Afterlife's FIRST EVER themed series, a run of four episodes in October about horror movies I'm calling This Is Your SLASHERLIFE. First, I talk to Jo about standard This Is Your Afterlife stuff—hell, the afterlife, memories, her "coma" moment—and then we kick off the SLASHERLIFE series with an in-depth discussion of The Babadook! Hopefully it goes without saying, but there are gonna be spoilers up and down this series. Content warning: woo woo Marxism, communal luxury, the "manosphere," smoking a bunch of hash, Arches National Park, the grotesque feminine.

It's part 2 of my first two-episode week, celebrating my new favorite book, Everything for Everyone: An Oral History of the New York Commune, 2052–2072. M.E. O'Brien is the book's other co-writer (along with Eman Abdelhadi), and our conversation stems from an email in which she told me her practice of a religion with "a very elaborate idea of the afterlife" might make for a less interesting podcast. Suffice it to say, she was wrong! Content warning: suicide, Tibetan Buddhism, the lack of kindness in leftist spaces, absolutely refusing to Relive 1 Memory.

Eman Abdelhadi co-wrote Everything for Everyone: An Oral History of the New York Commune, 2052–2072, my favorite book in the longest time. I love it so much I'm doing the podcast's first ever two-episode week featuring separate episodes with Eman and her co-author, M.E. O'Brien. So stay tuned!

My mother, Katie Maher, came prepared to EPISODE 100 of This Is Your Afterlife. The first guest to bring notes! She shares her experience during my coma and her strong beliefs about the afterlife. I share a piece about her from the one-man show that gave birth to this podcast. And the episode ends with the funniest five minutes of the show so far. Content warning: medical trauma, faith, dating, cinnamon rolls, The Bible, Uvalde, thoughts and prayers, lots and lots of paper towels.

Joanna Jamerson (The Neo-Futurists) records the most scatological episode of This Is Your Afterlife yet while leaving the door open to becoming a very devout Christian by the end of her life.

Bummer-pop artist Meredith Johnston (aka Warm Human) and I go back many years to our improv comedy days, and that rapport allows me to give her the shit she deserves for her love of butt rock and nu metal. Meredith's a great storyteller, charismatic, complex, dark, and painfully honest about the twists of her brain. Her willingness to display all these facets of herself makes for an intense episode AND one of the most entertaining. Content warning: eating disorders, physical abuse, (drug/alcohol) addiction, Meredith likes Imagine Dragons, Cream Cheese Hot Dog.

Pool Kids songwriter, guitarist, and singer Christine Goodwyne talks to me about why Christian heaven seems unrealistic and the mushroom trip she intentionally used to change her life. I love Pool Kids' new album, and this convo was a breeze. What aspects of our personalities survive huge changes, and is it good that they do? Content warning: toxic Christianity, mushrooms vs. Lexapro, poorly laid out grocery stores, full-on ego death.

I talk to Em Gonzalez (Liberation Library, Chicago Abortion Fund) every day. They're a teacher, a transformative and restorative justice practitioner, a fierce abolitionist organizer, and one of my closest friends. So it was a distinct pleasure to have a different kind of conversation for the podcast. This is one of the most accessible political conversations I've ever had, examining abolition, accountability, and self-esteem through the lens of the Hot Bimbo Genius. Content warning: amateur witchcraft, Florida Water, not getting dick jokes, wiping your feet on someone's towel, community accountability.

Mike Brunlieb (Joe Pera Talks With You, South Side) is one of the greatest improvisers of his and my generation of Chicago comedians. We dig into the reasons behind his love for playing both bullies and cucks. But performance is just the tip of this conversational iceberg. This is a particularly intimate conversation for 2 reasons: 1) Mike's a close friend, and this was the first time we'd seen each other since pre-COVID, and 2) his daughter Nina slept against his chest for the duration of the interview. Content warning: crying, having a daughter, pressure to say something smart in college, Nietzsche, heaven, forcing funeral attendees to play improvisational theater games, trying to isolate to find yourself.

Chris Santiago is a hilarious, odd, and one-of-a-kind comedian and an exceptional visual artist. He cares so deeply about creativity he taught high school art for 20 years.

Anna Kornbluh talks about presentism, the anachronistic historical practice of studying the past with contemporary frames of understanding. While some orthodoxies might consider it to be tantamount to historical heresy, presentism can be a powerful tool in building histories of anti-establishment struggles, such as women's and workers' rights movements. The conversation also focuses on the work of the V21 Collective, a research collective that Anna organizes, which applies presentist methods to Victorianist scholarship. Anna Kornbluh is Professor of English and Director of Graduate Studies at University of Illinois, Chicago. Her research and teaching focus on the novel, film, and critical theory, especially marxism, psychoanalysis, structuralism, and formalism. She is the author of The Order of Forms: Realism, Formalism, and Social Space (University of Chicago 2019), Marxist Film Theory and Fight Club (Bloomsbury “Film Theory in Practice” series, 2019), and Realizing Capital: Financial and Psychic Economies in Victorian Form (Fordham UP 2014). Her current research concerns impersonality, objectivity, mediation, and abstraction as residual faculties of the literary in privatized urgent times. She is the founding facilitator of two scholarly cooperatives: V21 Collective and InterCcECT. Image: © 2022 Saronik Bosu Music used in promotional material: ‘Past has not Passed' by James Blackshaw.

Jonathan Euseppi (he/they/she) is a comedian who creates one-person shows that feature stories and heightened theatricality, so we're kindred spirits. Her first show, Grief Is Horny, was about her dad's death and her love of the musical Cats. His second show, about getting cancer and marrying his wife, is called Cancer Is Gorgeous. We spend the majority of the episode talking about Jonathan's TWO times suffering through cancer (he's currently cancer-free!) and the difference between those times. But they also talk about their wedding day, their struggle to come out as nonbinary, and the calm that came after admitting who they are. Content warning: suicidal ideation, anxiety, cancer, dementia, Parkinson's, water afterlives, crying just thinking about your wedding vows. Leave a voicemail, and I'll play it on the show!

If you'd like to directly support this show and independent media, you can make a donation at Radiotopia.fm/donate. This episode was originally released in 2016 in the days after the shooting at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando. It is re-released every year on the anniversary of the incident. A note on notes: We'd much rather you just went into each episode of The Memory Palace cold. And just let the story take you where it well. So, we don't suggest looking into the show notes first. Notes and Reading: * Most of the specific history of the White Horse was learned from "Sanctuary: the Inside Story of the Nation's Second Oldest Gay Bar" by David Olson, reprinted in its entirety on the White Horse's website. * "Gayola: Police Professionalization and the Politics of San Francisco's Gay Bars, 1950-1968," by Christopher Agee. * June Thomas' series on the past, present, and future of the gay bar from Slate a few years back. * Various articles written on the occasion of the White Horse's 80th anniversary, including this one from SFGATE.Com * Michael Bronski's A Queer History of the United States. * Radically Gay, a collection of Harry Hay's writing. * Incidentally, I watched this interview with Harry Hay from 1996 about gay life in SF in the 30's multiple times because it's amazing. Music * We start with Water in Your Hands by Tommy Guerrero. * Hit Anne Muller's Walzer fur Robert a couple of times. * Gaussian Curve does Talk to the Church. * We get a loop of Updraught from Zoe Keating. * We finish on Transient Life in Twilight by James Blackshaw
All I have to do is wind up Marty and Sarah with my death questions, then sit back and ride the wave as they spin podcast gold. They're quick, thoughtful, generous, and silly as they talk about the recent death of a close friend, Marty's memory of first meeting Sarah, a suicide at their old apartment building, and getting so fed up with your own patterns that you make permanent changes for the better. Consider it like an episode of their podcast, except instead of wrestling it's Marty & Sarah Love Talking About Death. Plus, Sarah improvises intro jingles for every segment! You get a full half hour of bonus material for the cost of a coffee or a meal at https://www.patreon.com/davemaher (patreon.com/davemaher), including their funeral plans and creative/life lessons Sarah learned from our improv days.

Dylan Rodriguez is a founding member of Critical Resistance, a national abolitionist organization that has shaped my thinking about the abolition of police and the prison industrial complex. As importantly, he's a rad, righteous, down-to-earth dude who is fine with people creating Elvis-and-Tupac-style conspiracy theories that he's still alive after he dies. This is a long episode because I just couldn't cut much (though there is an extra 20 minutes on Patreon)!

Lucia Whalen has a killer joke that combines environmental disaster with infertility, and you should know that's the sort of screaming into the abyss I encourage on This Is Your Afterlife. She tells me about her upbringing among hippies devoted to Vedic astrology, the bad mushroom trip that got her sober, and her craving for words of affirmation, even in death. Speaking of fertility, abortion is healthcare. Here is the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists' https://www.acog.org/advocacy/facts-are-important/abortion-is-healthcare (statement to that effect) I read in the show's intro. And here is a list of abortion funds in every U.S. state for you to donate to fight the Supreme Court (possibly, likely) overturning Roe v. Wade: https://bit.ly/abortionfundslist (bit.ly/abortionfundslist).

Taja Cheek records brilliant, kaleidoscopic, genre-bursting music under the name L'Rain. She joins me to talk about the amount of twee in her personal hell, "nice" vs. kind vs. "interesting," and all it takes to grow as a person. We hear about a joyous all-night Thanksgiving cooking binge, and she reckons with a perpetual L'Rain topic, the possibility of change. The Patreon version of this episode includes a discussion about what Taja is learning about abolition and how we wrestle with ideas of community and self-improvement in our work.

Skyler Higley (Conan, The Onion) is a Black comedian with white parents who grew up Mormon and isn't anymore. He loves comedy, but he wants to be remembered for more than comedy. His new album, SALTWATER, IS more than just comedy. He worked with collaborator Nicholas James to weave comedy and music organically, and they created something that transcends musical comedy. And after a lot of comedy talk, Skyler tells me about losing his religion.

Shalewa Sharpe (HBO, Comedy Central) is a fantastic standup. If you don't know her, I'm psyched to welcome you into the fandom. She describes a highly physical hell and a surprisingly detailed belief about angels for someone who's not religious. We talk about both her parents dying within two years of each other, including the lessons she learned about funeral planning and the ways she shut down all feeling afterward.

Rashawn Scott (South Side, Abbott Elementary, Second City) tells me about the hell of the Old Navy stock room, the impulse to narrativize your life, a couple of really intense moments at funerals, and her grandmother delivering an unintentional post-college wake-up call. Rashawn is one of my favorite comedic actors, and she's expansive, self-assured, and vulnerable all in one in this episode. I think this show's worth the cost of a coffee or a meal a month.

New segment alert! Standup Michael Timlin (Shameless) is the first guest to tell me the superlative he'd get (and the one he'd want) in his eulogies. He talks about showing up for loved ones, and worrying about their wellbeing. He starts the show committing to never having kids, and he ends it with abundant, specific declarations of love for his wife. It's a complex episode with a lot of feelings!

Writer Sasha Geffen (Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, NPR) wrote the book Glitter Up the Dark: How Pop Music Broke the Binary and hosts the podcast Shattering Gleam: A Podcast About Music and Gender, so it's fitting we tackle gender and pop music HEAVY in this episode. In his Relive 1 Memory segment, Sasha goes in depth about his memories of pop star Sophie: interviewing her, talking to her at dinner, and seeing her perform live. So much of this episode is about our relationships to our bodies. Sasha is open about the medical aspects of transitioning and insightful about the relationship between our bodies and music. It's a really unique episode of This Is Your Afterlife.

Hero, mentor, and friend of mine Chris Gethard ("The Chris Gethard Show," "Career Suicide" on HBO, Beautiful/Anonymous podcast, countless TV shows & movies) is here for an extended episode of the show. I tell him about a text exchange we had that he didn't know changed my life, and that's just the warmup. He goes on to describe his customized hell full of Aerosmith, socks with sandals, and raw tomatoes. He explains an underrated aspect of parenting. He cheats when I ask him to "Relive 1 Memory" and picks two that both relate to "The Chris Gethard Show." And he revisits the night that opened him up after a childhood of trying to hide he was not okay. If you know Gethard and not me, welcome. I hope you'll take a look around the world of the podcast and stay. If you know me and not Gethard somehow, you're in for a huge fuckin' treat.

Comedy writer and actor Patrick Rowland quit his job at Target to work his dream job as a writer for "The Amber Ruffin Show." Patrick's story should be taught to creative people everywhere as an object lesson in doing all the things "they" tell you to do: work hard, be kind, and be patient. It actually worked for him! Other highlights: He and I agree being immortal would NOT get boring! Patrick genuinely loves improv! And—hard left turn here—he tells me about being shot at 17 and how it changed him, in many ways.

Artist and children's book illustrator Bianca Diaz talks to me about unpacking her identity as a white Latina, the personalities of buildings, and the comfort she'd like to give children with incarcerated parents in See You Soon, her forthcoming book with bestselling author and abolitionist organizer Mariame Kaba.

Music * We start with Water in Your Hands by Tommy Guerrero. * Hit Anne Muller's Walzer fur Robert a couple of times. * Gaussian Curve does Talk to the Church. * We get a loop of Updraught from Zoe Keating. * We finish on Transient Life in Twilight by James Blackshaw

Whether or not there's a cape, a sword, or a noble steed involved, we all go on quests. We leave the comforts and routines of ordinary life in search of a light that hovers just beyond the horizon. In the old days, it was a better trade route, a new world, the holy grail. It's much the same today. But what is it about the quest that makes it so different from merely reaching for a goal? And what makes it worth leaving everything else behind? In this episode, a girl named Rachel searches the world in a quest for her holy grail. Accompanying her is an academic all-star named Bobby, who is questing for certain kind of community. In our last piece, a film editor named Giusepi goes on a quest around America for a better way to serve people.
