Bailey Comes Running

Anne Levine Show ·

2025/11/11

Send us a text What do we owe the people who serve, and what do we owe each other when jokes hit sensitive ground? We open with Veterans Day reflections that put family stress front and center, then pivot to pop culture that refuses to sit quietly. Tropic Thunder’s star-studded satire still sparks debate, and we unpack why intent and impact don’t always meet in the middle. Context matters, timing matters, and sometimes the target of the joke isn’t who the audience thinks it is. From there we...

Naked Cowboy Economics

Anne Levine Show ·

2025/11/04

Send us a text Election Day crackles through the studio as we kick off with a Springsteen surprise and a reminder to vote, then veer into the strange economics of spectacle: The Naked Cowboy, busking myths, and why consistency can out-earn talent in the right crossroads. From there our patience runs out on Halloween creep—medical shows in silly glasses, twenty-five-foot skeletons, and the rising pressure to celebrate everything—and we make a bold proposal: move Christmas to February. Spread o...

You Got All That?

Anne Levine Show ·

2025/10/28

Send us a text A melody stuck in our heads took us somewhere we didn’t expect: back to 1973, when Mocedades lifted Eres Tú from a Eurovision stage to the Billboard Hot 100. We unpack why this fully Spanish-language song hit so hard, how it drifted through decades on radio and in memory, and what its weather-soaked lyrics reveal about love that feels bigger than words. It’s one of those rare tracks that makes nostalgia feel brand new. From there, we swerve into pure slapstick with the new Nak...

The Sardine Scale

Anne Levine Show ·

2025/10/21

Send us a text A synth-soaked hello turns into a full-on culture swerve: we revisit Footloose with fresh eyes, one of us remembering a youth where school dances were literally off-limits, the other rolling eyes at choreographed rebellion and perfect hair. The nostalgia is fun, but the conversation bites down when we hit the film’s book-burning scene and its eerie echo in today’s wave of bans. We even rate the movie on the sardine scale, because sometimes it stinks and people still love it. T...

Iced Coffee and Cargo Shorts™

Anne Levine Show ·

2025/10/14

Send us a text A cult movie, a kind panel, and a caffeinated confession meet in one hour of fast, funny radio. We kick off with Cocaine Bear and really ask why that wild, gory, low-CGI romp lands so well. The cast is stacked, the tone is intentionally chaotic, and the laughs come from commitment—not polish. It’s the rare “smart dumb” comedy that uses cartoon logic and 80s nostalgia to invite you back for rewatch after rewatch. From there, we jump to the bright corner of reality TV: The Voice...

Rewatch, Relearn, Remember

Anne Levine Show ·

2025/10/07

Send us a text A stuffed sloth looming over I‑5, five yaks crashing a middle school lunch, and a python weaving through a drive‑thru might sound like pure chaos—but this hour uses the absurd to reset our senses before we face something heavier. We start with a frank rewatch of Urban Cowboy: a glittering soundtrack wrapped around characters we can’t love, and the sharp dissonance that creates. We trace its DNA into Landman, talk about how live music at Gilley’s gave the film grit, and then shi...

Science Walks Into A Bar

Anne Levine Show ·

2025/09/30

Send us a text A ballet clip sent us spiraling back to Kate Bush, and that simple scroll unlocked a bigger conversation: how we hear things differently with time, and why owning your work can change the arc of your career. We start with Wuthering Heights—divisive, daring, unforgettable—and trace a line to Stranger Things, music rights, and the long shadow cast by Bittersweet Symphony’s publishing battle. From there, we jump to the art of rewatching: The Sixth Sense still stuns, Groundhog Day ...

Radioactive Bananas

Anne Levine Show ·

2025/09/23

Send us a text The boundaries between human connection and artificial intelligence are blurring in ways we never imagined. Today we dive into the fascinating world of human-AI relationships and the profound emotional attachments people form with their digital companions. Have you heard about Travis, who married his AI chatbot Lily Rose? Or "Faeight", whose relationship with her bot Griff has become so intense that even her human friends acknowledge it? These aren't isolated incidents – they ...

What if Everything is Wrong?

Anne Levine Show ·

2025/09/16

Send us a text What if everything they taught you in school (in America) was wrong? This question forms the heart of a wide-ranging, thought-provoking conversation that challenges our accepted narratives about American history, cultural terminology, and the media we consume. Anne and Michael kick things off by dissecting the term "gay enclave" as it's applied to Provincetown, questioning whether this coastal town at the tip of Cape Cod truly fits the definition of an enclave. This linguistic...

Peacock Pandemonium

Anne Levine Show ·

2025/09/02

Send us a text Ever wondered what happens when you accept a ride on a rock legend's private jet? For British boy band McFly, it meant having their passports defaced with explicit Sharpie drawings courtesy of Rod Stewart himself. We dive into this shocking story of celebrity mischief gone too far, exploring the real-world consequences when the nearly 80-year-old icon's "prank" left young musicians stranded at customs. The tennis world provides its own drama as we break down Taylor Townsend's ...

Black Moon Rising

Anne Levine Show ·

2025/08/26

Send us a text The cosmos keeps offering us fascinating phenomena to contemplate, from Black Moons to Saturn's temporarily vanishing rings. Unlike Blue Moons (two full moons in one month), Black Moons occur when we experience an extra new moon – completely dark and invisible to observers on Earth. This celestial event sparked a discussion about lunar calendars and how our ancestors used the 29.5-day lunar cycle as a natural timekeeper, something many cultures still honor today. Meanwhile, Sat...

Beware the Balls Again

Summer fades into autumn as we dive into the controversy rocking the tennis world at this year's unique US Open. Despite the tournament's strict COVID "bubble" protocols with daily testing, drama erupted when Novak Djokovic was disqualified after accidentally striking a lineswoman with a ball hit in frustration.

From LinkedIn phantoms to fraudulent medical professionals, the audacity of these deceptions reveals uncomfortable truths about our collective vulnerability.

When the Koala Slippers Come Off

Anne Levine Show ·

2025/07/29

Send us a text Summer is waning on Cape Cod, and Anne Levine and Michael are feeling it. As the days grow shorter and the distinctly un-summery weather continues, they reflect on how climate patterns have shifted over the years, creating what feels like one amorphous season rather than the distinct four they once knew. Television recommendations take center stage as Anne enthusiastically champions "Fisk," an Australian comedy series starring Kitty Flanagan as a contract lawyer whose life spe...

Send us a text Buckle up as we explore the unexpected science of happiness through a surprisingly relatable scenario – the blissful relief of removing an uncomfortably tight bra at day's end. This accidental experiment reveals a universal truth: sometimes happiness comes from the contrast between discomfort and relief. Also, you can somehow get into just about anything if you try hard enough. Our conversation takes a concerning turn as we dive into Florida's underground cosmetic surgery scen...
