(a.k.a., “The Godfather is an Episode You Can’t Refuse”)

Christmas has come and gone, but we hope that you—like us—are still merry and filled with joy! “What is this new episode in my feed,” you may ask. Well while we are still hard at work in our podcast workshop getting things ready for season two, we have something special just for YOU. In the two remaining weeks leading up to January 9th we are re-releasing some of our favorite episodes with never before seen video footage! And this one has some special AI-inspired additions.

Whether you’ve seen The Godfather or not, you know the Godfather. This movie (and book) is quoted, referenced, and featured all over popular culture. So we decided we ought to take a look and see if it is everything it’s cracked up to be. We’ll explore iconic characters, memorable quotes, questionable morality and family loyalty. Does this style of storytelling really have an enduring legacy, or is it overrated?

In our 12th episode, Jeff introduced Josue to the music of Frank Sinatra, exploring his classic album 'Classic Sinatra' which features his greatest performances from 1953 to 1960. They discuss their favorite tracks, the well-crafted lyrics and unique skills of Sinatra, and the cultural significance of his work. They also touch on the evolution of music and how Sinatra's style continues to influence artists today. But first, a quiz that tells us what kind of mobster Josue really is!
