As an elder millennial, I have to be careful with my endorsements of podcasts, as it seems to be the medium which neither the kids or the fogies enjoy as much, and will probably become extinct as soon as my generational cohort collectively figures out that walking into the sea is a better end than waiting for the government to destroy social security and put those of us who could never afford a $500,000 starter home in camps run by whatever Blackwater is calling itself in five years. However, I have always enjoyed The Dollop, a comedic history podcast unafraid to
tell the real truth about the world at large, which generally ends up with the listener blinking outside of the cave of bullshit, blinded by the light of unfiltered history. The younger half of the show’s duo Gareth Reynolds also happens to be an incredible comedian who will be doing two stand-up sets tonight at Savage Henry Comedy Club at 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. ($25, $20 advance).
