In our second installment of the Small Business Starter Kit series - we’re tackling a topic that’s sometimes tricky, sometimes confusing, but ever-present: taxes. Hosts Austin and Jannese have an insightful conversation with entrepreneur Isabella Rosal who started 7th Sky Ventures , an exporter and distributor of craft spirits, beer, and wine. Having lived and worked in two different countries and started a company in a heavily-regulated field, Isabella is no stranger to navigating the paperwork-laden and jargon-infused maze of properly understanding taxes for a newly formed small business. Join us as she shares her story and provides valuable insight into how to tackle your business’ taxes - so they don’t tackle you.

with this week’s internet sensation aka Anonymous Five Year Old’s “46 Instances Of A Child Screaming Into A Microphone” we are forced (at least i am) to recount the best (and worst) prior examples of children-in-bands, stunt or otherwise. Old Skull didn’t have a happy ending (and with the Missing Foundation lineage, they didn’t necessarily have a happy start, either). From afar it seems like things worked out ok for Hanson, but if “Slapshot” came out in 1977, i don’t understand how they were kid in the ’90’s. Redd Kross is probably the gold standard, Prussian Blue somewhat less so. Harley Flanagan - PEAKED EARLY. the 1-800-Kars-4-Kids Band - also peaked early (though perhaps not as early as Harley. So they’re not all gonna be as great at Tom Ardolino’s ‘Unknown Brain’ (which in retrospect, I wish I’d played instead of “46 Instances Of A Child Screaming Into A Microphone”)

good morning dear friends. If you’re like me, your social media has been chock-a-block with stories concerning a regional tech/influencer convention “reducing their footprint” in coming years and there’s no shortage of misinformed, self-styled experts willing to declare the entire endeavor deader than Deadsy. To which I say, PISH FUCKIN’ POSH. Did Tom Vu throw in the towel the first time he had a poor turnout at the Best Western? Did Marshall Applewhite take his ball and go home the first time he failed to fill a room? And if he did, is there such thing as an official mass suicide ball (signed by Bowie Kuhn)? Without even making a Dr. Gene Scott analogy, if there’s one thing I’m overly confident about (other than thinking anyone wants to hear this show) is that the next generation of grifters and narcissists will continue to find an audience, even if they have to lay low for a year or 3. Goodbye Austin Convention Center, HELLO KICK BUTT COFFEE. (above : likely location to pick up your 2025 Platinum Pass)…

(above - a rare photo of the show's original studio, circa 2020) dear friends, welcome and thank you oh so much for being part of EPISODE 250 of The Radio Hour That Feels Like Two Hours. If you're like me, you're finding it difficult to put this particular broadcasting achievement --- 250 episodes! Not as many as 300! But more than 200! -- into proper perspective. How does it stack up against, say Brady Anderson's not-chemically-assisted-at-all 50 home runs in 1996? Susan Lucci losing the Daytime Emmy 18 years in a row? I'd say it's right up there with both, but it's not my place to judge. No, I think this is the sort of thing that should be decided by an actual judge, perhaps the Chief Justice Sonia Sotomayor? Regardless of how she rules on the matter, I am very grateful for all of your support since the show's inception. It's customary to say, "I couldn't have done it without you," and I've never quote understood this custom because I have, literally, done it without you.…

I think we can all agree this is way, way too much work to get the Central Intelligence Agency off the hook But yes, Lars' relationship with the fans is very, very special. If you can call suing them a very special relationship. Presently, many of us are in an equally special relationship with the United States of America, or perhaps one that is even more exploitative and corrosive. A "Don't Blame Me, I Voted For 'Re-Load' bumper sticker won't get you off the hook, either.…

2:00:05

Surely it is possible to eulogize a cultural icon with some measure of accuracy? Like many of you, I read the many tributes to the Roberta Flack and her unworldly talent last week and was troubled by how many of them (perhaps byproducts of A.I. or non-extant copy editing) credited her with the innovation of the flak jacket, as popularized by Houston’s Dan Pastorini. In fact, the flak jacket was invented by the late Byron Donzis (above), a lifelong Roberta Flack fan who tried to license her surname for the product and upon failure to come to an agreement, had to opt for the alternate “f-l-a-k” spelling. I mean, you can look all of this stuff up, I don’t see why I always have to be the one to explain this stuff, particularly as I’m already busy enough programming the greatest radio program of all time. For the record, this week’s inclusion of Flack Blag was not intended as a tribute to Roberta Flack. It’s a (very) unfortunate coincidence.…

I would like to apologize in advance for my utter failure to mount a proper tribute to The Jam’s Rick Buckler on very short notice. Upon hearing news of Rick’s passing, I’d planned on playing the widely discussed “fan club” aka boot of ‘In The City’ solely featuring Buckler’s isolated drum tracks (‘Mo Rick, Mo Problems’) but either it’s gone missing or this place is an absolute tip (most likely the latter). I’d mentioned this on air and someone kindly offered to bring round their copy of the isolated drum tracks from ‘Setting Sons’, which, y’know, in a pinch would have to do. As it turns out, however, this record was actually Bruce Foxton’s isolated bass tracks from ‘Setting Sons’ which would not be appropriate for this somber occasion.…

like nearly everyone else, I’ve had to endure countless on and offline “HOT TAKES” about Kendrick Lamar’s SB halftime show, it’s astonishing this performance generated so much controversy compared to Burton Cummings’ appearance at the CFL Grey Cup nearly a quarter century ago. Have we already forgotten Cummings not only setting fire to a Canadian flag, but a Canadian flag that was wrapped over a basket of kittens? Sure, i bet a few of you were phoning talk radio to complain the organizers should’ve booked the Nihilist Spasm Band or Fur Trade or at the very least a collaboration between the two, but by and large this horrible incident has been wiped from the history books and I think you all know why. At least I hope some of you know why, because I am counting on you to ring in or DM to let me know. (above : from left to right, Burton Cummings and The Albert Henry George Grey Cup.

There's an old cliche in the radio business --- you have forever to prepare your first show, but only a few hours to compile a memorial tribute to Rico Petroleum. OK, truth be told I had several hours but I had to walk the dog,, attend my jazzercise class, then visit my new neighbors with left over Pro Bowl Chili. This last step took a while because I had to explain what Pro Bowl Chili was (and there's much more of it left over now that they're no longer playing a proper, albeit zero defense or hitting-of- any sort game) In spite of these obstacles, I am hopeful I've done justice to the Petroleum legacy.…

01/29/25 Show 244 : How Much Longer Shall We Tolerate Regulatory Opposition to Chlorate? 2:00:06

8 weeks тому2:00:06

2:00:06

as you may or may not have heard, the Coca Cola Corporation has issued a recall order in Europe for several of their products (Coke Jr., Coke Edge, Fanta Medium, Tab CMD, Evil Sprite) due to what’s being called higher than usual levels of chlorate, a by-product of chlorine-based sanitizers. I don’t know, it seems like sanitizers are a good thing, right? Unlike Europe, here in the USA regulations are being shredded by the new administration and while this is almost entirely terrible news, if you’re looking for a silver lining consider that we’re never gonna be without Coke Edge and there might even be a new variant with EXTRA CHLORATE. If this means Mike Francesa expires from a chlorate overdose, at least he went out doing what he loved (guzzling Coke Edge) and who doesn’t want their insides to smell like a swimming pool (many associate the pool with leisure and family fun). (above - it’s great that you know “a guy”, but can he hook you up with this impressive a supply of sodium chlorate?)…

i dunno about the rest of you but there are (many) days where I’d rather not engage with any aspect of the real world (or for that matter, the television series, “The Real World” — whatever happened to Puck?) but I’ll still fully acknowledge my bullshit ennui comes from a position of ridiculous privilege and comfort. The all-too-brutal circumstances that are coming to bear on so many of our friends and neighbors will likely make 2017-2021 look like a trial run and with that in mind, EVERY SECOND COUNTS. You cannot afford to squander your energy mocking Grimes on social media when the fucking Tesla dealership is sitting RIGHT THERE . You also cannot afford to waste your valuable time listening to a radio program that tries to pass off a Dollar General version of The Cool Greenhouse as “one of 2024’s best” (or for the matter, a Dollar General version of Certain General). I personally think “this is what Jaqueline de Jong* trained you for” is a bit of a cliche, but when it comes to manufacturing motivation, sorry, I’m no Pat Riley. * – “The Most Confused Souls Find Themselves One Morning Conditioned by a Little Gravity”, 1966…

so they ran a battery of tests on my head yesterday and I’m thrilled to report the results revealed NOTHING. You have no idea how many years I have waited to use that line. Even better, the MRI contraption made some glorious churning sounds, so much so that I contemplated asking the machine out for coffee to see if we could make a deal to release something. I know, you’re thinking “that’s not very funny” but keep an open mind, please. The MRI machine might lack the charisma of say, Danny Tantrum, but we can’t all be world class entertainers. Sometimes the subtle approach is warranted (though I certainly wish someone had told me that before I programmed this week’s show, if not the last 5 years’ worth of shows).…

happy new year, dear friends. I know those of you who love being tyrannized by the calendar are prone to making wild resolutions this time of year. Maybe this is the year you finally jump out of an airplane (preferably with a parachute) Perhaps it’s time to try out a diet besides fudge, cheetos and colt .45? How about maybe limiting your screen time to something less than 22.5 hours a day? These all seem like wild, thoroughly unrealistic promises for any of you to keep, but I’m built of stronger stuff. So that’s why when I pledged on this week’s show to not only keep the back-announcing to a minimum going forward, i wasn’t fiddle-fucking around. For starters, no one is paying me enough to hear my amazing voice so often (in fact, no one is paying me at all). Each carefully constructed set has it’s own unique ebb and flow ; not only would constant interruptions, well, INTERRUPT said flow but didn’t anyone ever tell you it’s rude to interrupt? For The Radio Hour That Feels Like Two Hours, 2025 is all about less talk, more rock. Except maybe not so much rock. Maybe not so much music, either. How about some goddamn peace and quiet for two hours, who’s with me?…

much the way Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert’s scathing review of “Silent Night, Deadly Night” (1987, dir. Charles E. Sellier Jt.) ensured the film’s notoriety and commercial success, I sorely wish there was some august body, say, the Podcast Council or The Society For The Betterment of Streaming Radio Shows, that could do likewise for this week’s program. Inappropriate xmas tunes. Inappropriate tunes, period. Failure to suggest Forster & McLennan’s “Suicide At Home” was meant to be called “(We’ve Got) Suicide At Home” and essentially jumpstarted the meme craze long before any existed. There’s all sorts of (negative) reasons to put this show ON THE MAP , but since this is the last episode for 2025, I would like to thank everyone that’s been a part of it and wish you and your loved ones a happy and healthy hollandaise time (provided you listen every week, holidays included, otherwise you can fucking fuck off) (re : Suicide At Home, aka Hall & Oates)…

as I gaze out my front window at the scorched landscape of shuttered Poke bowl eateries, Reverb Appreciation Society pop up shops and abandoned Crocs repair centres (to be fair, those things are ugly as fuck but don't break nearly as often as you'd think), I fear for the future of this nation. But even as we prepare to install Linda McMahon as the country's head of education (to be fair, Jim Hellwig was unavailable), I take some solace in knowing that you, the loyal listeners of this program, are prepared to rise up in stark opposition to the daily insults to our intelligence and basic humanity. That is, once you're done with holiday shopping and arguing over who won 2024, MJ Lenderman or Charli XCX. The correct choices, of course, would've been Ned Hayden or Charli XCX, but regardless, I am semi-confident your tolerance for all things crushing spirits and lives alike will dissipate sometime between January 2 and... oh who the fuck am i kidding. It's gonna be business as usual. Everything and everyone sucking is the planet’s business and business is booming (with apologies to Dave Mustaine)…

there's 13 shopping days left before xmas (possibly 12 if you don't wanna be standing around Target at 9pm xmas eve) and with that in mind, it's time this week for the annual Radio Hour That Feels Like Two Hours Holiday Gift Guide! What's it gonna be for the loved ones in your life this year ---- a @methsyndicate "Deny Defend DiGiorno" tee, or perhaps a pair of Detroit Lions Zubaz overalls? If you're not into fashion, you might considering gifting a young person a copy of "Scene Loser" (or failing that, a copy of Ted Kaczynski's "“Industrial Society and Its Future"?) There's a lot to choose from and trust me, you don't want to be the sort of person left trampled and bleeding after all the Furbys have been scooped up (though I suppose that happened on Black Friday already). Tune in this week, I'll walk you through the options, one by one.…
