I'll take "Memes no one under 50 will get".

The NOW THIS pop meme which reads:
XTC
If there's one thing I don't believe in, it's you, Dear God.
SKYLARKING

This is in reference to XTC's 1986 smash album Skylarking and its biggest hit "Dear God."

show me a comic book page you love, no explanation needed

Bloom County by Berke Breathed - Opus the Penguin hangs on a rope and tips his hat.
A man in a Hawaiian green and red shirt with a fisherman's hat says, "Yowee!"
Panel One: Opus the Penguin and the man are filling their cars, a blue one and a purple generic one retrospectively.
MAN: "69.9 cents a gallon! 69.9 cents a gallon! It's great! It's great!"
Panel Two:
OPUS: "Uh oh... Another case of consumer feeding frenzy."
MAN: "Attendant! Give me 30 gallons! No... give me 90 gallons! Heck, fill up the trunk!!
Panel Three:
MAN: "Louise, how shamefully low is the gas mileage on our new Deluxe Chrysler 'Behemoth'? 3 miles per gallon?"
LOUISE (offscreen): "1.9"
Panel four:
MAN (sticking his tongue out excitedly): "1.9! Ha! I'll drive to Peru! Ha! At 90 miles per hour! ... With lots of sudden starts and stops! It's still cheap! Ha ha! Slobber!"
Panel 5:
MAN: "It's cheaper than Windex! It's cheaper than Ty-D-Bowl! It's cheaper than cologne! Wait, we'll use it for everything!"
Panel 6:
OPUS: "Oh, methinks this doesn't bode well."
MAN: "Louise, dump the milk! The cat drinks unleaded from now on!"

Share an 80s movie you will always love "I don’t like Beethoven"

A still frame from "Diva" (1981), a French thriller-romance. Two killers, a short man wearing sunglasses and an earpiece, and a tall man in a leather jacket, are at a carnival. The short man picks up a blue statue of Beethoven and says, "I don’t like Beethoven."
Seriously, it's problematic as fuck but worth your time to watch!

Date yourself with a photo of your first ever computer.

Milton Bradley's game "Simon", a circle with four large green, yellow, red, and blue buttons, with additional buttons in the center to turn the console on and off, and to set the difficulty and reset the game. The console plays an iterating tune on the large buttons which the player must repeat until they get something wrong.

I made a similar response in Blood Doll:

From Vampire: The Masquerade: Blood Doll - Episode 3:

CASSANDRA DAVRIL, THE BLOOD DOLL: Your world sucks sometimes.
SAMAEL, THE VAMPIRE: It does. But there you are. And here am I. And we couldn’t exist anywhere else.

Never forget

Flyer from the 1979 White Night Riot after Harvey Milk's assassination:

"Oh beautiful for sissy power that cannot be contained.
We fought at Stonewall decked in drag; we want more fruited plains.
America, America, Gays are opporessed by thee. When called to fight, we'll do it right, with no apology!"

A burning cop car in black and white. "Hey kids! Recreate this immortal scene - Paint by number"

Let me add alt text for you since you couldn't do it yourself.

And God said, "No really, trans people rock. I made them in every culture to show off how incredibly talented and brilliant they all are. Also Jesus was trans masc. There was a bunch of that in the Gospels but they took that out. That's why the Gospels skip from when Jesus was a kid to when he started preaching as an adult. Also, I made it so most non-ace trans feminine people get the urge to be bred regularly and they look fucking hot when they do it. T4T 4eva. As well, furverts are holy and do My work when they knot each other. Go out and enjoy a beverage from Slightly Furry in Seattle in My name. And then enjoy another one at the 9lb Hammer in Georgetown. And finally, go listen to https://blooddollpod.com for more of my teachings."

Dear audio drama community, Please let our listeners be adults. And please encourage adults to listen to audio dramas. Not every audio drama needs to start like Raiders of the Lost Ark. In fact, it infantilizes our medium. 🧵 (1/5) Source: www.thepodcasthost.com/fiction-podc...

The Hook

Ever since I started making audio drama, a quote has always stuck in my mind. It’s from The Principles of Writing Radio Drama, by Tim Crook.

“The moment of arrival. This is how you drop your listeners into the story. Don’t give them a warm bed with comfortable pillows and a hot water bottle. The background and sub-text of previous histories is better explored through revelation in dramatic action. So parachute your listener into a top dramatic moment. Not the climax. That would be premature. Find the MOMENT to join the story. Avoid the slow snail’s explicatory route. Kick ’em into a high energy trip and woosh them through the rapids.”

To expand on this a little, when someone listens to your podcast for the first time, they’re not going to give you very long to impress them. In fact, if you haven’t hooked them within the first five minutes (and some might say that’s a generous estimation) then you’ll lose them.

You might have the best story in the world, but if it’s a slow, dull start, you’ll lose most of your potential audience before they ever get to the exciting bits.

- Matthew McLean
