SEASON ONE OF THE RPTM PODCAST
Welcome to our Podcast Archives, a treasure trove of our unfiltered, unapologetic early days. Here, you’ll find the raw, visceral essence of our first episodes—those messy, captivating explorations into the absurdities of human existence. Journey with us through the maze of urban life, where dark humor and sharp satire dissect everyday ridiculousness. From the grotesque rituals of modern dining to the chaotic farce of travel, we pull no punches in our cultural critiques. The human experience, with all its flaws and follies, is laid bare in these stories. At midnight, we explore the intersections of pop culture, society, and personal identity with a wit as sharp as a New York street corner. Our early ramblings might lack the refined production of our current work, but they thrum with raw energy and brutal honesty that captivate and provoke. So, dive in. Witness the growth of our craft, as we transform from brash novices to deft storytellers, each episode a step in our journey of artistic evolution. Enjoy these candid, unvarnished slices of life, bursting with insight, humor, and a unique perspective that resonates deeply.
