  • 102//Coachella Fatigue
    Apr 15 2026

    This week, Mickey is back with a solo episode to discuss his Coachella fatigue. Fresh off his Mayhem Ball depression—after missing the tour’s closing night—he dives into everything he hates about experiencing Coachella from afar, why he’d never want to attend, and the few exceptions that might actually get him out to the desert. He also talks about influencer culture and how it ties into the festival, the influencers he finds least insufferable, and shares his thoughts on Justin Bieber’s set and all its backlash. And of course, he gets into the Alix vs. Alex beef.

    Stay tuned for the second half of the episode, where Mickey discusses this week’s episode of Euphoria, plus new music from Chris Brown, Kungs, Isaia Huron, and more!

  • 100//A Tom Forbes Suit
    Mar 18 2026

    After much anticipation—and plenty of procrastination—the time to celebrate is finally here! This week, Mickey returns with Pulse Pounding’s very special 100th episode. You’ve listened to countless interviews with artists, songwriters, lesbians, therapists and Jehovah’s, but this time, the tables are turning.

    Mickey welcomes his very first guest host, Casey—his most trusted friend and confidant—to ask all the hard-hitting questions about the journey to 100. Join the pair as they discuss the origins of Pulse Pounding, the beginnings of Mickey’s comedic personality, and a recap of favorite moments and stories. They also reflect on the fear and anxiety of a first-time interview, the future of the podcast, upcoming stand-up comedy, and so much more!

    The biggest and loudest THANK YOU goes to the 'Extended Network', for always showing up and for tolerating the sometimes inconsistent schedule. Cheers to continued conversation, growth, and the next 100 episodes!

    Big thank you to Casey for putting so much time and effort into research and preparation, as well as finding the vision for exactly what this episode was supposed to be. Eternally grateful for you in every way.
