Commercially successful and critically lauded, the P.U.L.C.H. Watchmen episode has been called "the moment podcasting grew up." The award-winning episode sees hosts Nic "Without the K" Riley and Joyce "Joyce" Kittenplan joined by comic writer Robin "R.E." Parrish in a tour-de-force that deconstructs the very figure of the podcaster. With a portfolio of adaptations and spin-offs set to release shortly, there's no better time to listen to the most influential work in podcasting...
While the show will go on, we're pausing donations for now and sending our cash to amfAR, the American Foundation for AIDS Research. Check them out at https://www.amfar.org.
Seasoned media detectives Joyce and Nic return to investigate David Simon's hit police drama The Wire. They gather evidence and build their case against the leader of the prestige TV gang. Will they have enough to convict? Or will their superiors bury their investigation? Tune in to find out.
Exactly as the stars predicted, Joyce and Nic return to chat about the Polish novel that shared the 2019 Nobel prize. Joyce entertains a new job offer and reads some Barth. Nic the Greek goes 2/2 on UFC predictions, calling the previous main event perfectly. To our supporters who pulled out their credit cards and ponied up to help the show we say thank you! We hope you'll hear this episode and think your money was well spent.
In a classic episode recorded just one month ago, we finish our series on Borges. DC writes a new one and Houellebecq threatens to do the same. Nic fails to apply to graduate school. Joyce travels to Spain. Lowtax travels to heaven. Listen closely as a more hilarious, moving, and erudite podcast you'll hardly find.

We discuss Alexei Balabanov's last film, Me Too, in which some Russian guys drink and drive on their quest for happiness. Nic outdoes himself for malapropisms. Joyce's company institutes an irritating new policy. This episode was recorded in late March, and Nic just now got around to editing it, but there's more P.U.L.C.H. awaiting you in the near future, so take care of yourself that you might live to hear it.
We didn't read nothin' for this episode. Instead, we chat about strategies to stay creative and engaged with art while working a full-time job that pays your way and corrodes your soul. Other topics include on-the-spectrum legend Glenn Gould, lending books to irresponsible people, and Nic's brush with Drag Race fame.
Cartoonist and consultant Robin Parrish drops by to chat with the P.U.L.C.H. pals about Nicholson Baker's brief stream-of-consciousness novel The Mezzanine, but they derail the conversation to discuss working from home, David Cronenberg, and David Foster Wallace's linguistic/mathematical deficiencies.
