Scandal Sheet

We welcome our guest Dylan Cuellar, who has two podcasts of his own (links below). In many circles he is acknowledged as a talented, rising young commentator on literature, movies, and media (he is still only in his 20’s!). We were lucky to grab him for a few minutes to share his amazing insights on ‘Zombies’ throughout pop culture and what they represent for us today.

If you thought the zombie genre had finally faded away, you were mistaken I'm afraid. The recent giant success of the HBO series, “The Last of Us” (40M viewers/episode in US alone) demonstrates the zombie franchise is as strong as ever. Ellie, Thad, and Bernice take giant bites into the intestines of the bizarre global obsession with these undead cannibals and what accounts for their astonishing longevity in popular culture.

Enjoy the creepy and very funny cold open! Fans of the pod will recognize Scandal Sheet co-founder, Kassia, making one of her ‘drop in’ appearances.

Strap in for a creepy and very funny cold open for our new episode that examines everything Zombie. Fans of the pod will recognize Scandal Sheet co-founder, Kassia, making a cameo appearance. Stay tuned for the full episode next week, with regular co-host Ellie, where we dive deep into all aspects of the genre and the bizarre global obsession with “Zombies”.

Each year, thousands of men and women from around the globe flock to the Himalaya and the Karakoram in order to climb the world’s tallest mountains. Despite being aware of a fatality rate as high as 29% (depending on the mountain), amateur climbers are willing to hand over $65K-$150K to “professional” guiding services to hopefully get them to the summit and back in one piece. While storms and avalanches at these elevations cannot be controlled, overcrowding can. Human traffic jams leading to these summits are directly responsible, or complicit, in causing high rates of death and injury. This year, 2023, more people have purchased permits to climb these 14 mountains than in any other year in history…

Continuing on our baseball theme – here is a replay of an audience fav from 2021 featuring series co-founder, Kassia. One of the greatest sports conspiracies in history! 8 key players of the White Sox, including the legendary ‘Shoeless’ Joe Jackson, deliberately throw the championship in exchange for Mob bribes. Your fearless hosts take you deep behind this ambitious treachery. Was Shoeless Joe really guilty?

Kassia and her partner Dylan have an ongoing pod called “Unburied Books”: https://apple.co/3QnwJ0T Check it out!

As a warm-up to Major League Baseball’s OPENING DAY we wanted to re-share his extremely popular 2 part cold open from last year. Remember last year (2022) at this time? The baseball owners had “locked out” the players from all parks and negotiations on a new labor contract had reached a standstill. Our frequent guests, the beloved New York City trio – the METS MOB – were forced to take matters into their own hands by KIDNAPPING the Commissioner of MLB Baseball. As a result, the owners finally caved, a good contract was signed, and a general strike was averted. Thanks MOB! Relive the thrilling days of yesteryear and get psyched for a new baseball season!

A BRAND NEW MLB 2023 PREVIEW EPISODE featuring THE MOB is coming up in just a few days. Even if you don’t love baseball - you won’t want to miss this one.

Handsome Rob, the third of the trio, is just … “too sexy” for this podcast. Somehow, we got him to participate anyway. He plays James Bond here.

Our co-host, Ellie, plays Commissioner, Rob Manfred, in drag. (Don’t ask. Just go with it …)

The amazingly versatile pod actresses, Jill Grover and Lisa Hauptman, play multiple roles. My “Scandel Sheet” co-founder, Kassia Oset, has a notable cameo as the famous Bond character, “M”. Her new podcast, which she does with Dylan Cuellar, is taking over the podverse. Check it out at: www.unburied-books.castos.com (or any of your fav pod platforms).
