The Occasionalists Podcast

January Unknown Cleanup

We are back with one last episode for the January Unknown Challenge. We tie up some loose ends from the previous episode and give a preview into what is coming in February.

January Unknown Challenge Part 2

Part two of our January Unknown Challenge is now live!
We take up some challenges based upon The Occasionalists 5 Ancestral Tenets: Mind, Body, Spirit, Community and of course Consumerism. 
We push ourselves to live up the ideals of our ancient, podcasting predecessors, but did we succeed?
Spoiler Alert: Kind of!

January Unknown Challenge Part 1

We are back with our first episode of 2022, the first installment of the January Unknown Challenge.
We try out some newish things and tell you all about it! Pretty simple, so let's get to it.

2021 Year In Review

It's that time of year where Chemma and I wrap up the year with a little (extremely long) look back at all of the things we've covered and some things we didn't get to cover throughout the course of the year.
We highlight some favorites of ours from across the pop culture spectrum both from this year and things we only discovered this year. 
There's even some trivia for you! 
See you in 2022!

A Look Ahead To 2022

Normally here at The Occasionalists, we try to cram in an extra episode about some piece of pop culture in the past year before tackling our annual Year In Review episode. THAT ENDS TODAY.
Instead, we are coming in hot with our first episode to set up the new year, A Look Ahead.
We go through month by month with hand selected themes and possibilities for what each month might be like for us and the listeners. We also do some prognostication on what some of the big stories of next year might be and what we hope to talk about throughout the year.
Mark your calendars!

The Occasionalists Movie Review: Dune 21 & 84

One of the most anticipated films of 2020...err, 2021 after some delays...is finally here. Denis Villeneuve's Dune!
We dive deep into the Known Universe to look at some of the best moments, story beats, characters and shots of the latest adaptation of Frank Herbert's seminal work of science fiction.
We even have enough time to give some grief to the curiosity that is David Lynch's disowned 1984 adaptation.
He who controls the Spice, controls the podcast.

Season 7 Fall Blind Sports Part Two

Part two of our extra long Blind Sports episode is now live!
Is Zion too big? Where do you prefer to watch your sports?
And of course there's a bunch of uniform talk.

Season 7 Fall Blind Sports Part One

We are back with two part Blind Sports episode!
The concept: We have a prompt to answer about the various goings on in the sports world but we each have a question the other has not seen as of yet. 
In this first part we talk about --amongst other things-- roller derby teams, college football coaches and expansion and of course, calcio storico.
Enjoy and look for part two tomorrow.
