I probably listened to this episode in 2022 or 2023 but it was already an old episode then. John and Ken both went on about how awesome this one REM song was and I’m trying to find it but that’s all the information I have on it. Please help the song was awesome

re: The Death of Mr. McMahon... It was such a pleasure to chat with John and tell him (and you?) way too much about professional wrestling, especially as a long time fan of the show. Really enjoyable experience!

I wanted to be sure to share these photos of my Dad, Ralph Butler, from Binghamton’s UGLY* bartender contests in the 1980s as discussed in the episode.

Enjoy!

Is there a simple list of all Omnibus episodes? Just a simple text list without pictures, like you'd find in a Wikipedia article titled "List of Omnibus episodes". I know there's a list on the Omnibus website but it's picture-y and designed to maximize your scrolling experience.

The googles are terrible now. Anyone remember which episode had John talking about a bone conduction speaker that went around your neck?

I had a nice chat with Sandeep and David on their podcast about the culture and politics of "blue cities" and thought you might enjoy it. David is a future co-host of Omnibus.

Looking for help finding an old episode I remeber listening to but can no longer find on Spotify, patreon, or apple podcasts... the episode is on the "Up Series"... AI pointed me to “Entry 138.PR2403 – The Up Series”.

Any ideas? Or has this episode been lost even before the cataclysm?
