    Introduction to CRISPY COATED ROBOTS

    Introduction to CRISPY COATED ROBOTS
    An introduction to Crispy Coated Robots: The only podcast that matters! 

    That’s right, many podcasts are funny and engaging as they entertain, interview interesting guests, discuss vital current events, and ponder deep intellectual subjects… what none of them appear to care enough to do is SAVE THE WORLD FROM THE NUCLEAR WAR TO COME! But hosts Jim Kovacik & George Wright Padgett (and now Joseph Johnson as Nebulor) are up to the task. Every Tuesday they send information to the future about pop culture items of today and yesteryear in hopes of avoiding the ‘Big Glow.’ 

    Listen in as they debate two unrelated Top 5 lists to insert into the time capsule container for the world to come. 

    “It’s Mystery Science Theater 3000 meets David Letterman’s Top 10 lists delivered with an absurdist quality that Monty Python fans would find familiar.”
