  • The dickless maggot factory

    I look forward each week to the Weekly Skews. The dystopian news is delivered with a big side order of humor by Mark Agee. He really is smart, and knowledgeable, and Trae’s commentary just adds to the overall fun. This week’s discourse on the worldwide importance of the dickless maggot factory made me laugh out loud.

    Drew was on fire as guest host on the 6/2/26 episode. We have to get this man on a campaign trail as a senior political consultant. All expenses paid.

  • Best of the week

    I've been listening to the guys for years and I look forward to Weekly Skews every week. Never miss it. Smart and funny is perfect right now and Trae and Smart Mark are just what I need. Worth the listen and follow them down the rabbit hole to car rants, stand up specials, hysterical sketches, the Puttin' on Airs podcast, and the Wellred podcast. Right now I thank goodness for them! I need the LOLs.

  • Weekly ads!

    First off Trae has an overly exaggerated accent that’s like nails on a chalkboard but at least you can understand him. Mark mumbles so bad I can’t catch what he’s saying at times and the more excited he gets the harder he is to understand. This was tolerable until they started with ad breaks. One star! There’s better podcasts out there.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S6 Ep22: Good Skews – The Crack in Live Nation's Monopoly (with Devon Léger)
Q: What are some practical pivots or alternatives that communities are using to sustain live music?
Pivots include leveraging underutilized rural and urban venues, developing co-ops like Connor Burn Pub, promoting house concerts where artists keep most of the money, and building media coverage through local outlets like Seattle Picks to highlight regional talent and events.
S6 Ep22: Good Skews – The Crack in Live Nation's Monopoly (with Devon Léger)
Q: Could you summarize what's happening with Live Nation and why it matters for regional music scenes?
Live Nation is described as a near-monopoly controlling venues, artist promotion, production, and ticketing through Ticketmaster, which allows predatory pricing and market control that squeeze independent promoters and local scenes. The guest emphasizes that this consolidation harms communities and slows down the development of grassroots music ecosystems.
