Medium of The Month: Video Games with Ben Garnhum
In the third episode of the third season of Medium of the Month, we are joined by my long-time mate and one of my favorite content producers, Ben Garnhum, who I invited on to talk about the medium of Video Games. Two video games are highlighted one after the other in this episode: Supergiant Games' "Pyre" and Color Gray Games' "Case of the Golden Idol". We only dabble with light spoilers, so you do not have to worry about that in this episode. After your listen, please tune into Ben's podcast: "Defend the Podcast" on your podcasting application of choice or head over to youtube and look up Defend the House for all their mythbusting content. Our cover art for MOTM was done by artist Alan Cortes aka @flancortes on IG.

Greetings travelers! We come in peace! We also come with a three-hour-long episode. Mostly because Holden wanted to talk about every single Weezer album; so therefore, ultimately he is to blame! However, fear not! This episode is jam-packed with little goodies like a soda pop review, a plethora of impressions, and the rating 79/100! Plus, we finally get fan mail from reoccurring listener Ryan, so the timetable segment rears its ugly head again.

Medium of the Month: Sports with Brian Keese
In the first episode of the second season of Medium of the Month, we jump off with a BANG with 1/3rd of the Draft Punks Podcast, Brian Keese, who is one of the few jock nerds on the internet. The two sports covered are Sumo Wrestling and Curling, discussing several youtube videos that we will share below. In the first half of the episode, we cover Sumo Wrestling up until the 39:55 minute mark, then we switch to focus on the winter Olympic sport, Curling.

The boys are back in town and in the studio. Finally, after some time off, all eggs are in order, and Holden and D-Rye reunite for a chalk-loaded episode to explain everything they consumed while on haitus. They have some giggles, tears, and heartfelt emotion as they break down their endless love for media and what slaves they have become to consume it all. They can go their own way, they can call it a lonely day, but instead they call it a brand new episode of HTWYT right into your eardrums. Best if consumed while emailing them at HowToWasteYour@gmail.com
Medium of the Month: Wastecap with Darien Equipado
In the eighth and final episode of the first season of Medium of the Month, we are joined by the co-host with the most, Darien "D-Rye" Equipado, who was the only natural pick for a wastecap episode. The two mediums covered are film and television, discussing "Derek DelGaudio's In & of Itself" and "The Vow" respectively. In the first half of the episode, we cover both pieces of content in a spoiler-free discussion; then we get into spoilers for "The Vow" at 31:15 and for "Derek DelGaudio's In & of Itself" at 49:47.

In this podcast voyage, Holden and D-Rye announce the birth of Clare Jubilee Hintz, who came into the world bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. Due to this fact, the How to Waste Your Time flagship show will go on hiatus till the start of 2022, but another Medium of the Month may rear its ugly head. The good boys want your good emails still in the downtime at HowToWasteYour@gmail.com that way they have content to bring in the new year and aren't just spewing typical nonsense as usual.

One whole year of How to Waste Your Time down and as many episodes as our spare time permits to go. We really appreciate you listening to our show and helping support our dreams and hobbies. If we had zero listeners, I don't think we'd continue to do this, so thank you for bringing us the support we need to keep evolving the show. Whether through emails, texts, or in-person conversations. This episode is a little all over the place but I hope y'all enjoy and send us an email at HowToWasteYour@gmail.com so we can read it at the start of August's episode!
Medium of the Month: Music with Travis McGaughey
In the sixth episode of the first season of Medium of the Month, we are joined by one of my favorite podcast personalities, Travis McGaughey, who I selected the medium of music to gush over with. The two albums discussed are Great Grandpa's "Four of Arrows" and Cornelius' "Sensuous". Many tracks are played throughout and I tried to mix them in between our audio but advance apologies if the music is too loud.

In episode 5, D-Rye and Holden disregard caution and go for their longest podcast yet. Much to their audience dismay. However, they travel the high seas of mixed martial arts, japanese multi-media properties, and dumpster fire their significant others choose to watch, in their best episode to date.
S1E1 - Medium of the Month: Movies with Michael Moran
In the debut of Medium of the Month we feature List Wars host, Michael Moran, who chose the medium of film. The two movies discussed are Victoria (2015) and Locke (2013). We do not go into spoilers on the movies at hand until 22:54. Up until that time period we are fairly vague about the plot lines of both films.
It was also noted in this episode that Victoria was available Netflix. This is no longer the case unfortunately. You would have to watch it on AMC+ or rent it from a provider. Locke is still available through Showtime.

In the year of our Lord 2020, in the month of 7-tember, D-Rye and Holden exchange metaphorical blows at one another of entertainment expertise. For a single episode of How to Waste your Time cannot exist without: Holden doing bad impressions of famous people, D-Rye saying "basically" basically 100 times, and spending over twenty minutes talking about sports you probably didn't watch.
