Ep 35 L.isten, S.ubscribe, Download

This week Kate & Mort discuss laws and policies that are just plain silly. Just because they want to help you win the “how I got arrested/fined” stories. Your hosts have your back!

Ep 34 I Fought The Law

We all have a favorite actor (which is, of course, Jason Statham).. Sometimes, we'll even have a favorite studio. But people don't often consider the importance of directors, who have to dictate just how a scene plays out, and how characters should react to said scene. For that reason, Mort and Kate take some time to get... *ahem*... "Animated" (that joke will make sense in a bit, trust us) about their favorite director.And... Action!

Ep 33 - Asking For Directions

Yes, yes, we know. Literacy are hard. After a long day of mind-numbing television, the last thing you want to do is subject yourself to books. Thankfully, Kate and Mort have found two authors that just might make your travel along the reading rainbow just a little bit easier.

Ep 32 - Slappy and Fantasy Taxes

Back by popular demand (or should we say... De-DAN-d?) Kate and Mort are here to share four more monsters with you, our beloved listeners. That's right, four monsters! And you didn't even have to visit Congress! Zing! It would be funny if it wasn't so sad. Anyways, tune in to discover different ways that people have creeped themselves out. Maybe next installment we'll cover McConnell. Double Zing!!

Ep 31 - Monsters 2

We understand that it may be difficult, under our current political divide, to celebrate the revolution that led to our nation's freedom. For that reason, we've decided to cover other country's freedoms! Join Kate and Mort as they discuss two other countries who decided to fight the system.Freedom: It's not just for 'Murica.

Ep 30 Greasy Comrades

Hey, kids. Mort here. Kate had a description, but I decided to rewrite it because I want to talk to you about bad daddies. That's right, I said bad daddies. For this special Father's day episode, Mort and Kate discuss some real naughty daddies, and- What? We were absent for Father's Day? Well, I mean, it's symbolic and stuff. Apple and tree and stuff. Great. Now I'm too depressed to make this sexy. Just... just enjoy the episode.

Ep 29 Bad Daddies (Wink)

It's that special time of the year. No, not National Candy Month. I mean, yes, it is National Candy Month, but that's not super important. Stop pouting. Brush your teeth. It's Pride Month, the time of year where the LGBT community are able to stand in the spotlight, free from fear of ostracization and prejudice, free to be who they are, free to love as they were meant to love. But just where did Pride come from? As with every group of minorities, the LGBT community has faced its fair share of trials and tribulations. Join Mort and Kate as they discuss the origins of Pride, as well as some helpful tips for anyone choosing to attend a Pride parade, whether you're LGBT, or a caring ally.For more info on Mort's story, visit this website: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/stonewall-participants/

Join Mort and Kate as they use their powers of heavy sarcasm and research to talk to you about some under appreciated war heros!

Ep. 27 - Nurse You Back to Hell-th

This episode, Kate and Mort are back, and--hey, is it cool if they talk about a couple of moms for a sec?

Ep. 26 - MILK

For a race that is trying its hardest to survive, we sure do enjoy thinking up things to torment and destroy us. Nuclear weapons, Justin Bieber, Yoga, Big Foot… Yeah, that’s right. Big Foot. Over the years, mankind has created more than a few mythical creatures to delight and terrify. So many, in fact, that we felt the need to teach you about some of them. Join Kate and Mort as they take a look at a few of the imaginative beasts that haunt our dreams. Then let us know what you think! Do you want more monsters? Or do you struggle enough with sleep?

Monsters, Part 1

Each Episode, Mortimer and Kate research and educate each other on a random topic.
