Anyway, shout out to WERS and WJUL in the 90s, music reviews in Transworld Skateboarding, wild mixtapes from my friend Kris in the aughts, the Dissolve (RIP), and lately the Drifter’s Sympathy podcast

Well put! The feeling you get from discovering and enjoying something you otherwise would not have sought out can be huge.

especially when it’s something you otherwise wouldn’t have sought out on your own, at least without that guidance — that discovery can be SO satisfying. And it can take you down fascinating paths.

This is a real double-edged sword, as it is partially fueled by what I now know is OCD. In that respect, I’m sure I’ve listened to countless wasted hours of music that wasn’t very good. But when you discover something that resonates with you —

Wild timing, I was JUST discussing this in therapy (lol) literally an hour ago. I try to stay away from algorithms as best as I can, but that’s mostly because since the 90s, I’ve relied heavily on music reviews, music criticism, and college radio. Choices and opinions from real people.

Baffled (complimentary) that I’m learning about a Kurt Ballou-affiliated project from Rob Delaney. Will check this out. 🙏🏻

I can see the comments unfortunately (didn't realize I still have an active account? not great), but in case you're curious, most comments are essentially "Yes, but please keep in mind that I hate reading things that do not mirror my own life experiences, so I'd like to continue yelling at you" 🤷🏻‍♂️

I initially chuckled at this but now I’m wondering if I’d actually enjoy movies more if they were shown at live music decibel levels. I could just wear earplugs like I always do!

25 years since I asked William Basinski to copy some tapes for me and he ruined them. I’m still mad about it.

Oof. Green Owl sounds great though! Spent a lot of time with vegan and vegetarian bandmates at Vientiane Palace (RIP) eating extremely spicy tofu pad thai. Perhaps not the friendliest vibes 😂 but I miss that place so much! (I had seitan for the first time at Lazy Jane’s, come to think of it 🤔)

@zenakeita.bsky.social BUMMED!! You'll be missed on the NBA Daily pod but I'm stoked we'll still continue to hear you as a guest going forward.

Just checked the main feed as well and it looks like it’s the same deal as the bonus feed.

Jesse @strictures.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

Just checked and as far as I can tell, yes. Cuts off at roughly the 44 minute mark, mid sentence. (appreciate you looking into it, I absolutely want to hear the rest of the episode!)

@pastduepodcast.com just as a quick heads up, today’s episode with Nato Green seems to have been cut off partway through! (I was really enjoying and getting a ton out of this episode, but it cuts out abruptly around the 43 minute mark.)

Right on — just wasn’t sure if the higher-ups looking at the metrics place more weight on one or the other. (I do audio mostly, but when the season starts, checking out the game highlights on YT in the morning does segue nicely into the pod.)

Jesse @strictures.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

Done. Tangently related question: which is more beneficial on your side — listening to the pod, or watching on YouTube?

Not necessarily a Porsche guy (and will never be able to afford a 911 regardless), but I’ve always had a soft spot for the 911SC.

@anamariecox.com @mike-eagle.bsky.social sorry for the weird public messaging, but was most recent episode of Past Due being pushed out to podcast feeds? Listened to the bonus episode on Patreon, but didn’t see it update in my Apple podcast feed last week. (Love the show btw!)

RIP Lou Koller. 17-year-old me spent a lot of time learning songs from Built To Last, and that influence still holds to this day —even if I’m not playing anything that could be remotely described as hardcore. Also proud to have an SOIA t-shirt that is technically old enough to rent a car.
