“Kinsey Is A Feeling” (w/ Lucy Dacus)

12/10/2025
The iconic musical trio of Matt Rogers, Bowen Yang and Lucy Dacus is BACK. The Grammy winning artist and dream person joins Las Cultch to ponder many questions. Are people who want to be politicians all bad? Who is hotter: you in the mirror or you in the picture? How do you make the first movie conversationally when you’re… a little shy? Also, The Muppets, engaging with strangers on planes despite your wishes, being an artist in a relationship with another artist and therefore depicting each other in art, and the puffy pizza at Kings Dominion theme park. All this, when dippin dots was “the future of ice cream”, experiencing awe, and singing “I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing” together at The Culture Awards this summer. All this, the question of what the hell Avatar: Fire & Ash about?!, poinsettias, and discourse on The Boy With The Dangly Earring. Lucy, we love you! Forever Is A Feeling is out on vinyl and should be streamed everywhere! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Introducing: CrimeLess

12/4/2025
Hello, Las Culturistas Listeners! We want to share a new show you might enjoy, CrimeLess. About the show: What’s the best way to rob a bank? How do you fake your own death? Can you deploy a swarm of bees to get rid of the cops? And if so, how (theoretically) would one do that? All of these questions and more are answered on CRIMELESS, a weekly talk show that breaks down crazy crimes and answers the questions that you’re too embarrassed, or too afraid, to ask, lest it land you on an FBI watchlist. Each week, comedian Rory Scovel and his co-host, the veteran journalist and true crime podcaster Josh Dean, break down a brazen heist, outlandish scam, crypto caper, monkey gang war, or otherwise outrageous crime. The story will catapult the hosts into an exploration of the minutia of the crime, the wild characters who committed it, and how the hosts could do it better. While the show will be funny, first and foremost, listeners will also learn something — at least enough to seem interesting for 10 minutes at a party. It’s How Stuff Works, if How Stuff Works got drunk and robbed a Papaya King, to pay for the Bored Ape NFTs it bought to cover its gambling losses. Or You’re Wrong About, but mostly focused on things that Florida Man did after smoking too much kratom. (Or do you snort kratom? We definitely need to do an episode unpacking WTF kratom is.)
