Six episodes into Season 3, WWWS continues to operate with the reassuring sense that it knows exactly what it’s doing. The early-season rust has largely been shaken off, the new segments are finding their footing, and The Last Great Podcast Of The Modern Era remains a title we’re prepared to defend despite the absence of any formal recognition.
This week, Say What Now? ventures into the world of hobo slang, giving Big Uke another opportunity to decipher the language of a bygone era. The terminology is unfamiliar, the interpretations are questionable, and the historical record may yet demand an apology.
The WWWS Mailbag also makes an appearance, opening the floor to listener correspondence and reminding everyone that sending something to the show is one way to ensure it gets discussed by two people who may not be qualified to discuss it.
Meanwhile, Big Uke reports back on his latest cinematic assignment, Charley Varrick (1973), a crime thriller involving a bank robbery, double-crosses, and the sort of complications that make a perfectly ordinary criminal enterprise go sideways. It’s a fitting choice for an episode where the only thing more uncertain than the characters’ loyalties may be the hosts’ interpretations.
And, as always, 3 Things That Can Kick Rocks brings the proceedings to a close, because even a show operating at the alleged peak of modern podcasting still has grievances to air.
Hobo slang. Listener mail. Criminal misadventures. Fresh complaints.
The momentum continues. The standards remain entirely self-administered.
