Description

It's April 30th, 1998! After last week’s defeat at the Pacoima Branch of the Los Angeles Library, Machine Bolt and Él Farto are still reeling, but one thing is for sure: the on-air names of the Morning Zoo Butt Nugget Dream Team are locked in. The guys field a listener phone call, get a visit from Doctor Farto, and promote a live remote that might be an even worse fit for the show than a library. Why is there a repair guy in the studio while the show is on air? Why can’t the hosts blame their mistakes on substances anymore? Why won’t Wanda come back? It’s 1998 and everything is epic!

A comedy fiction podcast from Ben Harrison (The Greatest Generation) and Dan Kennedy (McSweeney's, founding host of The Moth Podcast ). Someone drinking at Casa Vega described the show as, "It's like Alan Partridge but at a 90's alternative rock station. Or like Comedy Bang Bang, but 90's radio." That person was killed by shadowy members of a nautically themed gang. Here's how we describe KPODD 101.3 since we're still living: Two L.A. morning radio DJs return to the airwaves in the 1990s after being suspended and sent to rehab. Machine Bolt and Él Farto are on a savage journey to better living. The mics are always on a little too early and each episode starts with the accidentally aired unvarnished small talk that lurks behind their positivity personas. The oddest characters invade their lives, and the occasional mysterious rips in the space-time continuum add a note of science fiction weird to the morning drive. You may have questions: Are they the only ones trapped in the 90s? Why did a giant python constrict the HR lady's Chihuahua? Why does this version of reality include the SeVan® conversion kit that turns most economy sedans into custom vans by appearance at most angles? Is Station Manager Gene from the future? Why does Producer Lynn dress like Kurt Cobain if he hosted a bird watching show on NPR? Start with a recent episode. Then jump around. Because there's no right way to travel back or forward in time. Everyone knows that. Right?
