Rod brings the heavy and Jess brings the slow in this 2007 Music episode of Media Made!

First up, our hosts take on the sinister seventh album of progressive metal band Dream Theater, Systematic Chaos. Then, they look back at the divisive -- and ultra-personal -- third album by "our queen" Kelly Clarkson, My December. Just in time for Spooky Season, this episode's got vampires, demon slaying, and severe emotional stress! What more could you ask for?!

Against all odds, Media Made has a brand-new episode coming at ya!

Kicking off their block of 2007 shows with style and flair, Rod & Jess look back at a pair of underrated genre classics. First, they cover the charm and whimsy of Matthew Vaughn's fantasy adventure flick Stardust. Then, they take on the slick and stylish third film in Steven Soderbergh's Ocean's trilogy, Ocean's Thirteen.

Blimey! For the first time in Media Made history, we're looking back two British shows in a single episode! First, we segue once again into the world of web entertainment with one of YouTube's earliest success stories, Yu-Gi-Oh The Abridged Series. Then, we examine the quirky, nerd-focused sitcom throwback The IT Crowd. This is an episode for all you STANDARD NERDS out there.

Media Made is FINALLY back to its regularly scheduled programming! And we've got a new studio too!

On this fine Independence Day, we're looking back at two All-American bands and their respective 2006 debuts. First, we explore the strange world of faith-based rock music with The Classic Crime's Albatross. Then, we go retro with the chiptune-y goodness of Anamanaguchi's Power Supply. Join us as we take on these two cult hits!

Media Made is currently moving its studio! So rather than forgo a new episode this month, we've decided to release a special audio commentary track for Rod's 2006 movie, Casino Royale!

Grab your own copy of Daniel Craig's first Bond film and watch along with your pals at Media Made. We offer up all the thoughts and insights on Casino Royale and the James Bond series that we couldn't fit into our 2006 Movies podcast!

Media Made is back with our 2024 April Fools' episode!

In what we're calling "And Now For Something Completely Different...," Rod & Jess have put together a copy-cat episode. We're lifting the formats of two of our favorite podcasts and putting our own spin on them. First, we offer some relationship and life advice by emulating the Reddit stories podcast Reddit On Wiki. Then, we gotta go fast when we do our own episode of the video game music show VGMpire.

It's Rod's birthday! And he's giving himself a gift with this special episode of Media Made!

In the first of hopefully many specials, Rod and his good pal Michael look back at a classic prog rock concept album: Rush's 2112! They explore the history of the band, the circumstances of the album's release, the inspirations behind the story and songs, and the legacy 2112 left behind. Musicology, history, philosophy, and sociology abound in our first Concept Album Spotlight!
