Critical Wade Theory

I'll talk about everything from politics to entertainment and philosophy. I'm also a part-time entertainment writer and working-class from the UP of Michigan, so that might come up occasionally. Oh, and I make weird experimental music and sometimes host a college radio show.

CWT #87: Lily Allen, a pop star I actually like

CWT #87: Lily Allen, a pop star I actually like

Just a quick music recommendation. Her music is decent, she has funny lyrics, and she's certainly not bad looking (which does not hurt). As far as relatively modern pop stars goes, I think she's prob…

CWT #86: A.I. riffs on the Cactus Cat and Woolly Yeti ("buttered-up polar bear"?)

My last attempt on A.I.-generated content regarding cryptids wasn't the funniest, so I tried it again. This time I got some pretty decent results, complete with A.I. mentioning a "buttered-up polar b…

CWT #84: A.I. invents the word 'Squeezebuffling' after I give it info on a cryptid

What does "Squeezebuffling Shy Guys" mean? What does it have to do with a  cryptid called a Cactus Cat? I don't know, but an A.I. text generator came up with that word (apparently). I even did a Goog…

CWT #80: The hero's journey down the drain

CWT #79: Have an old-timey music party w/Ace Brigode and pals!

I talk about an old-timey musician named Ace Brigode. Also, as desperate time-filler material near the end, I randomly mention some vague conceptual updates regarding the podcast and make fun of myse…

CWT #78: Non-Fan Challenge: 50 Cent Edition

CWT #78: Non-Fan Challenge: 50 Cent Edition

Does this rapper belong in the crapper? I've listened to ten different 50 Cent tracks on Youtube. Which song would I feel most comfortable listening to again? Did any tracks impress in any way? Here …

CWT #77: Truth, Propaganda, Trust + the Banality of Evil

Many, and probably most, ‘good’ people are decent, but they are as capable of extreme, moral self-delusion as anyone.

That is often called "the banality of evil." Ordinary people often flock to power…

CWT #75: Absu [metal more extreme than Mountain Dew X-Treme!]

Alright, so I don't know a whole lot about this band, and I might piss off some fans with my corny, half-assed jokes. But just remember I'm riffing half the time here, following a very loose script (…

CWT #74: Conflict is inevitable...or is it?

We have many problems in the world that, in normal circumstances, seem insurmountable.

CWT #70: Direct Democracy vs. Voting Out of Fear (AKA 'Representative Democracy')
