33:58

In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

THIS WEEK!!!! We delve into the real issues: Plastic! And how do we combat it? With radioactive bugs, of course. OF COURSE. Why? Because SCIENCE! SCIENCE!!!!

Also, ever wonder what would happen if you jumped into a glass bubble and launched yourself at the sun? We did too, so we did a super heavy metal song about a guy trying to get a suntan. Eat that, Oprah.

WOOOOOORMMMMMMSSSSSSS!!

THIS WEEK! We are back, baby! Welcome to the EIGTH season of the ADGRODCAST. We voted for super cop Harris. We did our part. Virginia (specifically Richmond in our case) didn't falter. We blame the rest of America. And, we won't concede gently into that cold, black fascist night, but alas, we recorded this episode in the days BEFORE we knew what was going to happen, and BEFORE we knew the end of days that was to come. Regardless, we hope to (continue) to be a beacon of joy, and a release, and a multiversal experience that gets you out of the shitshow reality we are all sharing, and we welcome you to the EIGHTH season of the ADGRODcast. And NO, WE ARE NOT CHANGING OUR STUPID NAME. DENY. DEFEND. DEPOSE.…

23 weeks тому33:47

33:47

THIS WEEK!! Adam introduces the Silurian Hypothesis and it immediately gets sidetracked by "a bit". Which, let's be real, is kind of how this all works. Then, a song about God tiring of us humans and attempting to sell the lot, and boy, is it a bargain. Because we suck. Humans are fucking garbage. And then, Atari is alright with Rodney, but not his grandpa. My Real Friends Are Made Of 8 Bits. Speaking of which, go check out the accompanying video of us on YouTube making this here episode.

Adgrodcast BONUS content: Brain Organoid 16:44

26 weeks тому16:44

16:44

We are oft fascinated by modern science and what it creates, and in this case, it's terrifying. Scientists are growing human brains in petri dishes to do computer processing because, yeah, the human brain is a wildly competent at processing multiple things. Did we stop to think about what would happen??? Of course not! We're humans, we are full of pride and hubris and we don't give a FUCK about consequences!! Anyhow, these little brain organoids might be alive, and apparently we're just okay with that. WHEW. This song is about Rodney saving one of them from the clutches of misguided modern science. And, it is a BONUS EPISODE to our loyal podcast fans. Enjoy, and feel maybe just a little gross.…

THIS WEEK!!!! First and foremost, we are now streaming [some, maybe all?] episodes with visuals of us making the sausage in The Infamous Studio B, and that includes THIS EPISODE! For followers on our Podcasting streams, we still love you, and will also release every episode PLUS some bonus content to your Podcast feed. Anyhow, we're doing tunes about Thousandaires, farts, Cape fear, Brain Organoids (which is a companion song to a BONUS episode also released with this one!), and also Clown College. Yeah. Which is where we obviously went. OBVIOUSLY. But for real, go check out Graham's newly yoked and cut-ass bod on YouTube. GET IT!…

21:34

THIS WEEK!!! We have written the Crow National Anthem. Also, Rodney is getting older, so he wrote a tune about it. Then, Graham and Rodney discuss Adam's rather optimistic outlook, and speculate (determine?) that it's dopamine. Or maybe ignorance. But hey, they don't know. Smooth Brains Prevail! Watch a live video recording of this episode on our YouTube channel!…

31 weeks тому33:37

33:37

THIS WEEK!! We are, fortunately (unfortunately?) immortal heads in a basket. Three of 'em! So, we ask questions: Why is science just magic? Do we just live forever if our heads get cut off? What do movie critics have to do with our decapitated head situation? What happens if we actually become a three headed monster? Who controls what part of the body? And, finally, Rorschach tests. Are they all just butterflies, or are they magic, or do our immortal decapitated heads just want us to think they're magical butterflies?! Oh. My. God. So. Many. Questions. LISTEN FOR ANSWERS BECAUSE WE TOTALLY ANSWER ALL OF THEM!!!!…

THIS WEEK!!! We proudly present, in a nutshell, a darker take on insurance, and a darker take on the lore of mermaids. Actually, whoa, yeah, the whole episode is a little eye-opening in a "does the FBI know these guys exist?" kinda way. But hey, you can still enjoy it. But you can't, like, you know...enjoy...the stuff...we're singing about. I mean, unless you do. You do you, girl.…

THIS WEEK!!! Rodney delves into Bill And Ted's nemesis, Rodney created Dr. Marlon Rebrando, the greatest pop culture plastic surgeon in all the land, and, after an interlude featuring the latest Most Annoying Song Ever, we sink into the weird world of how you might choose what path you would take, or if you even would choose in this wild world of algorithms. There might be a bit about child labor too, but, ya know, that's how it goes. OH! Also. Rodney is a cone head. That's also how it goes.…

24:29

Have you ever been in a situation where you have absolutely been present, but you don't feel like you were, or don't remember being there? It's like you're in the room, but you're hanging out about three feet from the other humans. There is a near pause in the matrix, and you can feel your senses to the maximum degree, but are also completely disconnected from whatever is happening. Well, this episode, and the next one, will be an embodiment of that very experience. In improvised musical form. This is one from the "my sleep paralysis demon made me listen to this and participate somehow" vaults. And ya know what? If you don't make it all the way through this one, it's okay. But, be aware that you actually did...indeed get through it. STRAP IN.…

THIS WEEK!! Oh boy, it's chock full, like one of those ice cream cakes that's two chocolate chip cookies with chocolate chip ice cream in the middle. Those things are so goddamn good! So, the first song is about how we do this podcast for us, and not for you, but we're glad that you listen. Second song is Personal Space Invaders, and it's about those people that get too close in public. And then, there is a song about a specially trained person who is trained to be...an asshole. And finally, a continuation on our ongoing series about Artificial Intelligence: I Simp For Alexa. A turgid tale of a man who simps for Alexa, and won't have it any other way. Side note, Adam had to learn what "simping" is for the title of the episode. TURGID! TURGID! TURGID!…

THIS WEEK!! We explore the challenging life of an adult Dennis the Menace. Then, a surprise Bidet party...no, not B-day...Bidet. Yup. Then, your parents, and grandparents, and great grandparents did this thing, so you will also do it. Even if you absolutely suck Shai-Hulud ass at it. It's called: Inneptotism. Rodney eventually pronounces it right. SLINKY, SLINKY, EVERYONE LOVES A SLINKY, EVEN IF IT'S SEXY…
