145 - Ghostwriting JDO's Posthumous Epic (ft. E Rathke and David Simmons)
Broken River boas E Rathke and David Simmons join Kelby in the Agitator booth to figure out how we're going to piece together our fallen brother JDO's unfinished magnum opus about a fence salesman who can control tornadoes. But first! You know we're getting wild, talmbout Call of Duty lobbies back in the day, how quickly things get racist and how come that's funny, inflation on boardwalk caricature art, the extreme horror community and how all writers (including us) should stop posting so much, what happens when you're teaching English in South Korea and your appendix explodes, and oh so much more. Find E Rathke's eclectic musings at radicaledward.substack.com and keep up with David Simmons on X @WholeTimeDavid or IG @toppdogghill. More on the Broken River crew at brokenriverbooks.com and, of course, you can support this show at patreon.com/agitator for only $5/month in the Agitator Z tier, where you gain access to bonus and extended episodes, behind the scenes looks at film and writing projects, and exclusive Agitator Discord access.

141 - 97 Fingers
We're freestyling the concept and premise of a sprawling sword & sorcery/survival horror epic, after we diagnose the problems of today's youth, eulogize Steve Albini as much as he deserves it, pontificate better ways to approach open-world gaming than the endless side-questing and modifying, and discuss our favorite shows a little bit.

140 - Kendrick Sucks
We kick off the show talking shop and breaking down pretentiousness as laziness, then move into the current state of mediocrity in rap music and what makes Kendrick one of the worst to ever rock the mic. Also: who dissed Drake best? And "can I say it?" We miss you, DMX. patreon.com/agitator

Customer Reviews
This podcast makes me think — and want to think
The NO COUNTRY podcast is the perfect tonic for the news of the world today (at least here in the US). The conversation is often funny, always insightful, and introduces original ideas on a wide variety of topics. It’s all the more interesting because although Kris and David are both clearly intelligent and highly educated, the presentation is more like a barroom conversation, not an academic lecture — which is where many such podcasts fail.
Bow to me splendidly
This show makes me feel smart
Excellent show
JDO is entertaining, as are his guests. I love how the show doesn't really follow a locked down interview format, allowing the conversation to veer in interesting directions. Good stuff, highly recommended.
