PODCAST

From The Cheap Seats

Thad Halcli Media, LLC

A Millennial girl and a Gen Xer guy deconstruct the Washington Nationals and the game of MLB baseball generally. Both devotional and irreverent, we blow up the “sports talk” genre with humorous, unapologetic, and shamelessly opinionated baseball news outside the press box, the dugout, and the stadium urinals.

Joined by seasoned guests – the New Yorker brothers Jason and Rob (famous for our 7/4 Nathan’s Hot Dog episode) – we dive deep into their experiences on the day itself and – then flash forward - what New Yorkers feel about the event today…over 2 decades later.

What Up, What Up, What Up With The WEATHER???

2023/08/28

2023 has been a year of record-breaking heat waves, drought-related wild fires, and floods. And new hurricanes are on the way! We haven’t had time to cover this year’s climatic events directly but we thought it would be a good idea to replay this episode from last summer about HURRICANE SANDY on her 10th Anniversary. The original description -- While pools, beaches, and outdoor BBQs are memorable elements of the warm solstice, nothing defines summer more than its ferocious, damaging, and deadly

Oppenheimer, The Bomb, and Hiroshima Anniversary

From The Cheap Seats ·

2023/08/13

The new movie about the ‘Father of the Atom Bomb’, “OPPENHEIMER” is a huge critical success and performing far beyond box office expectations. It was released to coincide with some very grim anniversaries, including the 78th anniversary of the destruction of the cities Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan. Was dropping these first bombs the only way to end World War II? Why did Oppenheimer and other bomb inventors appear to suddenly switch gears and oppose the development of the much more powerful hydrogen

UFOs Will Not Go Away!

On July 26, 2023 a Congressional Oversight Committee held a hearing with 3 WHISTLEBLOWERS, all retired military officers, on the existence of UFOs and what the U.S. government is hiding from us. Recently, what had previously been called UFOs has been rebranded as UAPs, “Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena”. We replay our hilarious and informative UFO Episode from last summer. Founding co-host, Kassia, is featured in both the cold open and in the bonus replay. Our music is composed, preformed and

The Men In Black Strike Back - AGAIN!

From The Cheap Seats ·

2023/07/23

(It’s actually men AND women in black, I was just going with the popular movie franchise name for SEO.) The Supreme Court’s relatively new “CONSERVATIVE SUPER MAJORITY” continues its efforts to overturn 60+ years of - what they consider - liberal leaning judicial rulings. Depending on how you self-identify politically, you may be happy or sad with the way things are going. “Scandel Sheet” merely offers you known facts and asks the obvious questions. You must decide for yourself about these matters

What could be more American than a juicy, delicious hot dog? … what about 76 of them one after another? We fire up the grill on NATHAN’S FAMOUS HOT DOG EATING CONTEST, held annually every July 4th and broadcast on ESPN. Often called the super bowl of competitive eating, this tournament attracts the leading eaters from around the world. But is it really a sport? And are the participants really athletes?

Each year, thousands of men and women people 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

As a warm-up to Major League Baseball’s OPENING DAY we wanted to re-share this 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

“Casablanca” Turns 80 – The Movie You Thought It Was?

From The Cheap Seats ·

2023/02/13

A deliciously sappy and romantic movie from 1943? It unexpectedly, became very popular, made boatloads of money, and won multiple Academy Awards. One of the hundreds of undistinguished movies the Hollywood factories churned out each year -- so why do we still remember this one? Clever pro-war propaganda in an isolationist US? Celebration of female prostitution? Civil rights ground-breaker? Ironic, deadpan comedy? All of the above? Then in 1947, with the Cold War in full swing, everyone involved –
