The musical shenanigans, conversations and outright spiraling, nonsensical ramblings of Courteney Hooper and Andy Easthope, the delightful Rad Ants of Adelaide, Australia!
This week The Ants discovered that their audio for the "words with friends" episode sucked so bad that they needed to record a new pod. Good news, it's probably a lot more entertaining anyway!
This week the Ants talk about the songs that haunt them from their childhood. Also, there's a new professional themesong.

Episode 8: The Gift of Music
This week the Ants have gifted each other some fine ass albums, with Courteney gifting Fiona Apple's acclaimed The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than the Driver of the Screw and Whipping Cords Will Serve You More Than Ropes Will Ever Do and Andy gifting the luscious Plastic Bouquet by Saskatoon duo Kacy & Clayton and New Zealand mega-crooner Marlon Williams.

Episode 7: Fake Word Generator Adventure
Oh dear, this week the Ants opted for a fake word generator and in the ensuing chaos generated the Mudtrucking Jambaroos, as well as several other inappropriate and poorly improvised country songs.

Episode 6: The Gift of Music again
In the episode, the Ants have once more gifted each other an album of significance for their listening pleasure. This time around Andy selected Lateralus by the seminal prog-rock outfit Tool, best known for their elaborate and somewhat polyrhymthic vibeout tunes, as well as their sometimes hardcore fanbase. Courteney selected Amir by Tamino, an album with some crooning, a lot of complex feels and most importantly direct references to Dante's Inferno.
For the next "Gift of Music" episode there are two albums for you to get across if you'd like to follow along at home:
Andy gifts to Courteney: Plastic Bouquet - Album by Kacy & Clayton, Marlon Williams
Courteney gifts to Andy: Fiona Apple The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than the Driver of the Screw and Whipping Cords Will Serve You More Than Ropes Will Ever Do

Episode 5: Words with Friends
Join us for episode 5 of the Rad Ants Musical Jamboree as the Ants employ improvisational word-splooge techniques to create a series of songs based on the mystical selections of a random word generator.
With no sense of planning, control or an adult to set a clear direction, the chaos eventually rights itself in moments of melodic sync ups, hard facts, and some metal inspired tales of Galapagos.

Episode 4: The Gift of Music Part 2
Join the Ants this week as they once more gift each other an excellent (?) album to listen to and appreciate. This week, Courteney shit the bed and decided to gift Andy "Galaxy Crisis: The Strangest Midnight Broadcast" by Joanna Wang (https://open.spotify.com/album/0HQ8dE0XWzsdffjK2x5bAk?si=NyZ86OrOQzK5xE2EGMIDCA). Andy wasn't so mean, and gifted Courteney a work of art, Neon Bible by Arcade fire (https://open.spotify.com/album/4GT6uZod4p5RiDMOVHOMme?si=KYlPxZE6RQ2i7x_UAeGYQA). She didn't like it.
Stay tuned for more ramblings, a mouth trumpet intermission and of course, solid deep philosophical conversations.

This episode is further supplemented by a spiraling and potentially deep discussion on the nature of our planet, Earth, what they'd do if they had unlimited money... and hotdogs.
