Rooster and I had ourselves another fun year on Phone It In, a show that has held on to the #2 spot on the SoBros Network podcast charts for two years running now, behind only The Unofficial Titans Podcast in terms of downloads per episode. I’m proud of this show and the work that Rooster puts in to keep a fresh rotation of topics going. I’ve tried to wrap my brain around what the secret sauce here is, and I just keep coming back to how Rooster and I are unapologetically unafraid to bring our sense of humor and genuine curiosity to topics that interest us. If you haven’t already checked out an episode, I’ve picked my five favorite shows from 2022. Since we’re starting to wind down for the year, there’s no better time to introduce yourself to this show that is among the best and most creative shit we do here on SoBros Network.
The Best of Phone It In, 2022
Ep. 28: The Wendigo – link – I love a good and cold winter tale, and we kicked off 2022 with the perfect one. This one *ahem* got a little off the rails, but it’s always fun talking about a gluttonous creature that lives in the woods and eats people.
Ep. 34: Devil’s Den – link – Not only did the Devil’s Den episode make me hesitant to ever go camping in a state park in the middle of nowhere, but it was also our most popular episode of the year, having more downloads than any other show we did in 2022!
Ep. 35: Teddy Roosevelt and Bigfoot – link – I’m a big Teddy Roosevelt guy. I think he’s one of the most interesting figures in our country’s history. I’m also a huge Bigfoot guy. If I can combine the two, I’m going to do it 10 out of 10 times. Did Roosevelt expand the National Parks services in order to protect folks from Bigfoot? Inquiring minds want to know.
Ep. 36: The Lake Michigan Triangle – link – Some of my favorite episodes of this podcast are the ones that I go into knowing very little about the subject matter. I had never even heard about the Lake Michigan Triangle before we did this show, and I was thrilled to hear what a bizarre phenomenon it truly is.
Ep. 38: Creepy Reddit Stories, Pt. 3 – link – I mean, c’mon…it’s the Reddit episode! Every year, Rooster and I pick some creepy shit we read on Reddit and we share it with each other and the Phone It In listeners. And, you know what? Every year, it hits. Every year! It’s one of my favorite annual traditions we have here on SoBros Network.
