Each one I find reminds me of a small, battered transistor radio from my youth. It belonged to my father, and before that, probably my grandfather. The leather case was cracked, the antenna wobbled, and the dial drifted if you breathed on it wrong. But when I was sixteen, sprawled across my bedroom floor in that small town near Florence with homework scattered around me, this little machine was my portal to everything that mattered.Late at night, I'd start by chasing the latest hits and local shows on FM, but then I'd venture into the real adventure—tuning through the static on AM and shortwave frequencies. Voices would emerge from the electromagnetic soup—music from London, news from distant capitals, conversations in languages I couldn't understand but somehow felt. That radio gave me something I didn't even know I was missing: the profound sense of belonging to a world much bigger than my neighborhood, bigger than my small corner of Tuscany.What I didn't realize then—what I'm only now beginning to understand—is that I was holding the first smartphone in human history.Not literally, of course. But functionally? Sociologically? That transistor radio was the prototype for everything that followed: the first truly personal media device that rewired how young people related to the world, to each other, and to the adults trying to control both.But to understand why the transistor radio was so revolutionary, we need to trace radio's remarkable journey through the landscape of human communication—a journey that reveals patterns we're still living through today.When Radio Was the Family HearthBefore my little portable companion, radio was something entirely different. In the 1930s, radio was furniture—massive, wooden, commanding the living room like a shrine to shared experience. Families spent more than four hours a day listening together, with radio ownership reaching nearly 90 percent by 1940. From American theaters that wouldn't open until after "Amos 'n Andy" to British families gathered around their wireless sets, from RAI broadcasts bringing opera into Tuscan homes—entire communities synchronized their lives around these electromagnetic rituals.Radio didn't emerge in a media vacuum, though. It had to find its place alongside the dominant information medium of the era: newspapers. The relationship began as an unlikely alliance. In the early 1920s, newspapers weren't threatened by radio—they were actually radio's primary boosters, creating tie-ins with broadcasts and even owning stations. Detroit's WWJ was owned by The Detroit News, initially seen as "simply another press-supported community service."But then came the "Press-Radio War" of 1933-1935, one of the first great media conflicts of the modern age. Newspapers objected when radio began interrupting programs with breaking news, arguing that instant news delivery would diminish paper sales. The 1933 Biltmore Agreement tried to restrict radio to just two five-minute newscasts daily—an early attempt at what we might now recognize as media platform regulation.Sound familiar? The same tensions we see today between traditional media and digital platforms, between established gatekeepers and disruptive technologies, were playing out nearly a century ago. Rather than one medium destroying the other, they found ways to coexist and evolve—a pattern that would repeat again and again.By the mid-1950s, when the transistor was perfected, radio was ready for its next transformation.The Real Revolution Was Social, Not TechnicalThis is where my story begins, but it's also where radio's story reaches its most profound transformation. The transistor radio didn't just make radio portable—it fundamentally altered the social dynamics of media consumption and youth culture itself.Remember, radio had spent its first three decades as a communal experience. Parents controlled what the family heard and when. But transistor radios shattered this control structure completely, arriving at precisely the right cultural moment. The post-WWII baby boom had created an unprecedented youth population with disposable income, and rock and roll was exploding into mainstream culture—music that adults often disapproved of, music that spoke directly to teenage rebellion and independence.For the first time in human history, young people had private, personal access to media. They could take their music to bedrooms, to beaches, anywhere adults weren't monitoring. They could tune into stations playing Chuck Berry, Elvis, and Little Richard without parental oversight—and in many parts of Europe, they could discover the rebellious thrill of pirate radio stations broadcasting rock and roll from ships anchored just outside territorial waters, defying government regulations and cultural gatekeepers alike. The transistor radio became the soundtrack of teenage autonomy, the device that let youth culture define itself on its own terms.The timing created a perfect storm: pocket-sized technology collided with a new musical rebellion, creating the first "personal media bubble" in human history—and the first generation to grow up with truly private access to the cultural forces shaping their identity.The parallels to today's smartphone revolution are impossible to ignore. Both devices delivered the same fundamental promise: the ability to carry your entire media universe with you, to access information and entertainment on your terms, to connect with communities beyond your immediate physical environment.But there's something we've lost in translation from analog to digital. My generation with transistor radios had to work for connection. We had to hunt through static, tune carefully, wait patiently for distant signals to emerge from electromagnetic chaos. We learned to listen—really listen—because finding something worthwhile required skill, patience, and analog intuition.This wasn't inconvenience; it was meaning-making. The harder you worked to find something, the more it mattered when you found it. The more skilled you became at navigating radio's complex landscape, the richer your discoveries became.What the Transistor Radio Taught Us About TomorrowRadio's evolution illustrates a crucial principle that applies directly to our current digital transformation: technologies don't replace each other—they find new ways to matter. Printing presses didn't become obsolete when radio arrived. Radio adapted when television emerged. Today, radio lives on in podcasts, streaming services, internet radio—the format transformed, but the essential human need it serves persists.When I was sixteen, lying on that bedroom floor with my father's radio pressed to my ear, I was doing exactly what teenagers do today with their smartphones: using technology to construct identity, to explore possibilities, to imagine myself into larger narratives.The medium has changed; the human impulse remains constant. The transistor radio taught me that technology's real power isn't in its specifications or capabilities—it's in how it reshapes the fundamental social relationships that define our lives.Every device that promises connection is really promising transformation: not just of how we communicate, but of who we become through that communication. The transistor radio was revolutionary not because it was smaller or more efficient than tube radios, but because it created new forms of human agency and autonomy.Perhaps that's the most important lesson for our current moment of digital transformation. As we worry about AI replacing human creativity, social media destroying real connection, or smartphones making us antisocial, radio's history suggests a different possibility: technologies tend to find their proper place in the ecosystem of human needs, augmenting rather than replacing what came before.As Marshall McLuhan understood, "the medium is the message"—to truly understand what's happening to us in this digital age, we need to understand the media themselves, not just the content they carry. And that's exactly the message I'll keep exploring in future newsletters—going deeper into how we can understand the media to understand the messages, and what that means for our hybrid analog-digital future.The frequency is still there, waiting. You just have to know how to tune in.__________ End of transmission.

Episode 344 of RevolutionZ begins with some reflections on Zohran Mamdani's inspiring electoral win. How? By his campaign mobilizing an astonishing 50,000 volunteers. How? By he and his campaign feeling real and honest, and by offering real and meaningful vision. By electoral politics and grassroots activism becoming a mutual aid tag team rather than competing opponents. The episode then moves from Gaza's gut wrenching fascistic horrors to our own American "Twilight Zone" reality that seeks to entrench fascistic tendencies as normal life. The episode then  takes a break from its usual patterns to look at some music, some lyrics, hoping to find some clarity, courage, and, well, dignity. Hoping to find some potential sources for an emerging new youth culture which is something that we all, young and older alike, profoundly need to create, experience, and embrace. Bruce Springsteen's "Youngstown" documents capitalism's broken promises. His "The Ghost of Tom Joad" reminds our moral obligations. But mainly the episoode hopes to introduce and propel some some emerging voices of today, not only old ones from yesterday. We hear Jesse Wells' and Carsey Blanton's unflinching and yet also moving and eloquent lyrics that directly confront power. "Rich people been fucking us all." Back not too long, we  re-surface Iris DeMent's "Wasteland of the Free" and Bob Dylan's "Gates of Eden" and "Dignity." The point of it all is to celebrate how artists have long conveyed a  vocabulary of resistance that we desperately need today.I hope the songs whose lyrics I offer reveal that cultural resistance isn't separate from political action—it's an essential aid. It helps us imagine and create more just futures. Even more, it can help establish a mood, a disposition, aspirations, and confidence in the face of deadly hate. In the coming months of defense and then in coming years of positive gain, we will need to disobey authoritarianism, eliminate ecological nightmare, and reduce staggering inequality. We will need to entrench in their place self managed participation, productive and ecological sanity, and real soli;darity and equity. I hope the lyrics in this episode and others that you go on to find, to sing, and to hear, music and all, can help provide the rebellious soundtrack for our necessary actions. When I was a child we had that. The culture around us propelled us. We didn't win all we needed to, but some. Now new generations have to prevent the elimination of all that and, more, have to expand the victory vastly further. I hope artists and their audiences do their part to help propel all that. It ought to come naturally.Support the show

In this conversation, Ted explores the evolving concept of masculinity in contemporary society, discussing the cultural, social, and political influences that shape male identity. They highlight the challenges young men face in finding role models and the impact of social media on perceptions of masculinity. The discussion also touches on the political landscape, examining how different parties address or fail to address the needs of men today. Ultimately, the conversation seeks to understand the future of masculinity and the importance of community and support in navigating modern relationships. In this conversation, the speakers explore the evolving concept of masculinity, emphasizing the importance of social value and societal frameworks in defining what it means to be a man. They discuss the consequences of a lack of guidance for young men, the need for strong male role models, and the balance between strength and responsibility.TakeawaysThe left has largely undermined the idea of masculinity.Change is inevitable, but growth is optional.Young men often feel pressured to hold onto their youth.Human beings need something to aim for to motivate themselves.Social media influences perceptions of masculinity.There is a lack of viable role models for young men today.The Republican Party offers a traditional view of masculinity.Cultural narratives shape young men's aspirations.The absence of positive male role models creates a vacuum.Navigating modern relationships requires renegotiating traditional roles. There's an appetite for a new model of masculinity.Men must create social value to be considered valuable.Identities are socially constructed and validated.A lack of guidance can lead to self-destructive behavior in men.Men need frameworks to channel their natural capacities.Strength in men should not be feared but guided.The dynamics of masculinity change with societal safety.Men must find purpose in service to their communities.Young men should seek to solve problems in their environment.Community and individual responsibility are intertwined.Connect with Dr Dante BryantWebsite: dbryan30Instagram: a_southernmanFree eBook Here: Mastering Self-Development: Strategies of the New Masculine: https://rebrand.ly/m2ebook⚔️JOIN THE NOBLE KNIGHTS MASTERMIND⚔️https://themodernmanpodcast.com/thenobleknights

Todd and Cathy share the upcoming changes to their podcast, Zen Parenting Radio, which will be renamed Zen POP Parenting starting June 1st! They also discuss the normal shifts in kids' friendships, highlighting the importance of loyalty, boundaries, and the reality that friendships evolve. As parents, we can feel more overwhelmed than our kids when these changes happen, but it's important to normalize the ups and downs of friendships and offer support without letting our own fear or discomfort take over.

NEED PRAYER? Please send your prayer requests to us on Instagram @chosenbyjesuscbj or email kelleytyan21@gmail.com In this bold and eye opening episode, Kelley and Taylor share a sobering breakdown of how the enemy works subtly to destroy the minds, hearts, and spirits of young people today.  "If you were the devil, how would you take out the next generation, without them even noticing?" This scary question was a reel that went viral.  We are dissecting the answer it gives from ChatGPT and wait until you hear this! We pray this message will stir your heart to make changes in your lives where you need to. Imagine this: If the devil wanted to destroy a generation, he wouldn't come with horns and fire- he would come through confusion and comfort.  He'd start early-before children even know who they are-and he would distract them with: *social media and noise that drowns out their purpose *addictive dopamine highs that leave them overstimulated and underdeveloped *instant gratification that makes silence unbearbale *rebellion marketed as "self love" *sin glamorized as "self expression" The truth?  > Many kids today can't sit still or in silence without a screen > Faith is treated like a chore > Porn, parties, and celebrity culture are normal before they're even teens > Mental and emotional health is crumbling under the weight of comparison, isolation, and performance > The absence of God is never identified as the root cause BUT THERE IS HOPE! And we are calling parents, mentors, and believers to WAKE UP and fight back! Listen in how Taylor share how the Holy Spirit can break the chains of addiction, confusion, and cultural bondage.

In Hour 3, Marc kicks things off with Todd Piro from Fox & Friends First to discuss media coverage of Trump's Saudi trip, sports, and personal stories including Darryl Strawberry's redemption journey. Then it's 2A Tuesday with Mark Walters diving into suppressor tax stamps, national concealed carry reciprocity, and efforts to reform the National Firearms Act. Finally, it's “Kim on a Whim” with Kim St. Onge, where they talk youth misbehavior at restaurants, parental responsibility, and shifting societal norms.

For decades, the trend across Western countries seemed one-way: away from faith in Jesus Christ. But could the tide be turning? Evangelist and author Glen Scrivener outlines signs of a "quiet revival" emerging, particularly among young people in the United Kingdom (and how things are different in Australia).Drawing on new research from the UK Bible Society and reflecting on wider cultural shifts, Glen discusses why the story of secularisation may not be as inevitable as once thought — and why a surprising number of young adults are returning to church. We also reflect on influences like Jordan Peterson, the role of community in a hyper-individualistic culture, and the opportunities — and challenges — now facing churches in both the UK and Australia.Is this the beginning of a new movement towards Christ? Reach Australia National ConferenceReach Australia's National Conference is from 19 to 22 May 2025 on the Central Coast of NSW.

Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! In this week's episode we are joined once again by the ferocious Tim Hacker, intrepid creator of the Cryptic Chronicles Podcast (www.crypticchronicles.com) with yet another deep dive into a another Satanic cult… one that lurks unsuspectingly in the forgotten shadows of places as seemingly safe as YouTube? What starts as an innocent diatribe about positive thinking slowly morphs into a ritual of blood sacrifice which, if you are so unwitting as to perform yourself, will find yourself swarmed with a faceless multitude of others who were also foolish enough to do the same! In the free side of the show we discuss the Blood Over Intent cult, how it recruits, spreads its dark form of ritualism online and its charismatic leader who has since gone into hiding. In the extended show we dive into some of the occult framework which makes blood magick work, including the works of Rudolph Steiner with his highly controversial words about its blood's connection to intelligence, psychic activity and colonialism. But we also talk about flat earth and breastmilk.

Send us a textYouth Ministry.. it ain't what it used to be! The digital revolution has transformed youth ministry into uncharted territory, creating what seasoned experts are calling "a perfect storm" of challenges for today's teenagers. At the heart of this storm lies the smartphone – a device that has fundamentally altered how adolescents experience relationships, rest, and reality itself."The culture is catechizing our kids 24-7 through these devices," -Walt MuellerSpecial Guest Alert: Walt Mueller of CPYUThere is some reason to raise alarms: trends like teens sleeping with phones, FaceTiming until they pass out, and even gambling online during school lunch periods. This constant digital immersion directly contributes to the sleep deprivation fueling unprecedented anxiety levels among young people. Medical experts emphasize that teenagers need approximately nine hours of uninterrupted sleep for healthy development, yet notifications and digital dependencies make this virtually impossible for many.In the wake of Jonathan Haidt's must-read book "The Anxious Generation"  Zac and Walt discuss how parents increasingly use their children as "status objects" for social media validation, creating crushing pressure that transforms ordinary activities into high-stakes performance arenas. Youth workers must respond with a threefold approach: prophetic influence (speaking God's truth to cultural realities), preventive influence (building appropriate guardrails), and redemptive influence (offering grace when mistakes inevitably occur). Rather than merely aiming for behavioral compliance, effective youth ministry nurtures heart transformation through balanced spiritual formation.Today's youth ministry leaders function as cross-cultural missionaries who must be deeply grounded in Scripture while simultaneously understanding the complex digital landscape teens navigate. By creating spaces where adolescents can experience genuine community, rest, and spiritual formation apart from screens, youth ministry offers what many teenagers desperately need but rarely experience elsewhere. Subscribe to the podcast to hear more conversations with ministry leaders who are reimagining how we disciple the next generation in an age of digital distraction and spiritual hunger.Support the showJoin the community!

I often find that when I'm with a group of parents teaching them about today's youth culture, many wonder if their kids have any interest at all in talking about the Christian Faith, the Bible, and Jesus Christ. There's a commonly held belief that with all the attractive things the world has to offer, kids just don't want to have anything to do with conversations about God. But because we know that all of these other distractions offered by the world can never fulfill one's created purpose to know God, our kids are left feeling empty. I often say that a youth culture landscape littered with brokenness is a landscape ripe for the Gospel. New research from the Barna group should be encouraging to parents who want to see their kids come to know and serve Jesus Christ. In fact, seventy-seven percent of teens are to open to having conversations about God. Should we be surprised? A child's spiritual hunger will continue to grow if they are not filled by experiencing new life in Jesus Christ!

Dancing Black, Dancing White: Rock 'n' Roll, Race, and Youth Culture of the 1950s and Early 1960s (Oxford University Press, 2023) offers a new look at the highly popular phenomenon of the televised teen dance program. These teen shows were incubators of new styles of social and popular dance and both reflected and shaped pressing social issues of the day. Often referred to as "dance parties," the televised teen dance shows helped cultivate a nascent youth culture in the post-World War II era. The youth culture depicted on the shows, however, was primarily white. Black teenagers certainly had a youth culture of their own, but the injustice was glaring: Black culture was not always in evident display on the airwaves, as television, like the nation at large, was deeply segregated and appealed to a primarily white, homogenous audience.  The crux of the book, then, is twofold: to explore how social and popular dance styles were created and disseminated within the new technology of television and to investigate how the shows both reflected and re-affirmed the racial politics and attitudes of the time. The story of televised teen dance told here is about Black and white teenagers wanting to dance to rock 'n' roll music despite the barriers placed on their ability to do so. It is also a story that fuses issues of race, morality, and sexuality. Dancing Black, Dancing White weaves together these elements to tell two stories: that of the different experiences of Black and white adolescents and their desires to have a space of their own where they could be seen, heard, appreciated, and understood.

Adolescence: Brilliant TV or WOKE Propaganda?  In this video, Jon Gaunt debates Netflix's latest hit series, Adolescence, and asks the tough questions: Is it a true reflection of modern-day Britain, or is it a form of WOKE propaganda? Led by Stephen Graham, Adolescence portrays a grim reality for young boys today, but does it reflect the real challenges they're facing, such as the influence of figures like Andrew Tate, the rise of incels, and increasing violence in schools? Some critics argue that the film presents a false and woke depiction of the issues surrounding youth violence in Britain as the family is white. Jon also discusses the troubling portrayal of misogyny, toxic masculinity, and the fatal stabbings carried out by young men in the UK, questioning whether it accurately reflects reality. As Adolescence sparks debates over the responsibility of new media, Gaunty also tackles questions on whether more male teachers and extra-curricular activities are the solution, and if banning smartphones could be a step towards protecting kids. Should Keir Starmer fund the film's showing in schools, and is this the Cathy Come Home moment of the 21st century? Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on whether Adolescence is brilliant TV or harmful fiction. Keywords and Tags: Adolescence Netflix, WOKE propaganda, Stephen Graham, UK politics, toxic masculinity, Andrew Tate, incel threat, male teachers in schools, adolescent violence, UK stabbings, media influence, Keir Starmer, free speech debate, boys and smartphones, extracurricular activities, Cathy Come Home, Netflix series review, modern Britain TV, youth culture, UK media.

The new Netflix four-part drama series Adolescence has received rave reviews. Here at CPYU we have watched it, and we applaud the way it raises so many of the issues and problems facing teenagers and their families today. If you've already watched Adolescence, we encourage you to keep listening, and if you haven't we recommended taking the time to watch before listening to this episode of our podcast. If you care about kids, the Adolescence mini-series is one we highly recommend, and it's what we are talking about on this episode of Youth Culture Matters.

In this episode, I interview Andrew Ostrander, who shares his journey from education to youth ministry, discussing the challenges and surprises he faced during the transition. He walks you through the importance of engaging social media content to connect with students, detailing his approach to creating interview-style videos that resonate with youth culture. Andrew also highlights the benefits of delegating tasks, the significance of personal connections in ministry, and his future plans for expanding social media efforts. The conversation concludes with encouragement for new youth pastors to embrace social media as a tool for building community and fostering relationships.

In this episode of Ordinary Discipleship, Chris Johnson, Jacob, and Jessie Cruickshank dive into the critical balance between fun and faith in youth ministry. Are we simply entertaining young people, or are we truly discipling them? The discussion explores the power of mentorship, the need for spiritually mature leaders, and why young adults crave authentic relationships over flashy programs. Drawing from real-life experiences and brain science, the hosts challenge traditional youth ministry models and offer a fresh perspective on guiding the next generation toward spiritual maturity. Listen in as they share insights on what it takes to create meaningful discipleship experiences and how churches can rethink their approach to mentoring young people in today's complex world.

Olivia Wing, PhD candidate, History, and 2024–25 OHC Dissertation Fellow. By the late 1960s Asian American youth played a central role in the creation of a pan-Asian American political identity. My dissertation seeks the pre-1960s origin of youth's increasing prominence in the creation of Asian American cultural citizenship by examining intersections of youth, gender, and leisure/recreation. Charting the trajectory of Chinese and Japanese American youth involvement in beauty pageants, sports, and public celebrations, my project uncovers regional histories of community formation and representation that contextualize later interethnic tension and coalition.

Former pastor's son Caleb Ward joins Lola and Meagan to share his experience about the height of evangelical culture in the early 2000s in a church called Kingdom Life Ministries. Caleb discusses growing up in an environment where everyone was speaking in tongues and having loud prophecies in the middle of church, the pressures that come with being the son of a pastor, how heightened emotional experiences keep people connected to their churches, wild evangelical youth culture involving Christian rock, how good church leadership can actually exist, and why shunning is one of the worst parts of modern Christian religion.

It is one of the most watched events in the world - The Super Bowl for 2025 featured an opportunity for the Kansas City Chiefs to make history with a "three-peat," something that has never been accomplished. It wasn't to be, as the Philadelphia Eagles soared high. John Crossman joins Mike to talk about this event and its cultural impact. Plus Pastor Joe Schimmel talks about last year's Super Bowl and lessons we learned from it.

Today on Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we're discussing Kanye West's latest internet meltdown and what it reveals about the state of our unfortunate over-sexualized and depraved culture. From celebrity chaos to societal decay, it's clear—without God, the world spirals into total confusion and sin. We're breaking down the bigger picture and talking about why it's time to turn away from worldliness/wickedness and the dysfunction of degeneracy and back to the truth and love of Christ. Jesus is the only sane way forward, ladies and gentlemen.--https://www.thebrandsunday.com/products/the-bible-study-copy?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=tbs_thebiblestudy_searchads-nixwdmd&tw_source=google&tw_adid=608801073541&tw_campaign=17672311083&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAC-_2dRN1WU6lhTaWFNApFgzBkVe_&gclid=CjwKCAiAwaG9BhAREiwAdhv6Y_Xc6w4LM7_4otTu1-XgzYjKKwhwbNBCdqLFVTDdXToND7Rt6JU2hBoC3hsQAvD_BwE

Teddy Boys (and Teddy Girls)emerged in Britain in the early 1950s, becoming the UK's first distinct youth subculture.    Born in the aftermath of World War II, these working-class teenagers rejected post-war austerity and embraced a bold, rebellious style of dandyish suits, long drape jackets, narrow trousers, velvet collars, patterned waistcoats - and of course pomaded quiffed hair for the boys and equally sharp threads for the girls.   Musican and writer Max Decharne, author of 'Teddy Boys: Post-War Britain and the First Youth Revolution', came to the Bureau to talk about the Teddys - and about Mods, Punk, the masssive influence of Bill Haley's Rock Around the Clock and of the impact the working class have had on British fashion.   The Teds became notorious in the media - associated with violence, for clashes with rival gangs and for their alleged involvement in the 1958 Notting Hill riots. But was that really the case? Or was it because, as working class upstarts they rattled the middle and upper class establishment? Embracing American rock'n'roll, they became the foundation for future youth movements, proving that teenagers could form their own cultural identity, shaping Britain's rock and roll scene and inspiring later subcultures like the Mods and Rockers.

Our last few episodes have reveled in stories of the popularization of movies, music and sports during the Roaring 1920s. In this epilogue episode, Professor Jackson steps out of storytelling mode and into classroom mode (that doesn't suck).  To help us better understand the lasting cultural impact of this period, he's invited Dr. Sarah Churchwell who has written extensively about 1920s American culture, including her acclaimed book Careless People: Murder, Mayhem, and the Invention of the Great Gatsby. The conversation with Professor Churchwell includes fascinating takeaways from the 1920s that continue to resonate in our contemporary lives. These include the rise of American youth culture and the desire by older adults to be youthful like the popularity of monkey gland injections as a predecessor to modern-day Botox injections. They talk more about the birth of Tinseltown AKA Hollywood, radio, music and enduring literature like F. Scott Fitzgerald's masterpiece, The Great Gatsby…if you read it in high school but have forgotten, or if you've never read it, we get right to the major themes of it and why it's still relevant today.  ____ Connect with us on HTDSpodcast.com and go deep into episode bibliographies and book recommendations join discussions in our Facebook community come see a live show get HTDS merch or become an HTDS premium member for bonus episodes and other perks.
