  • 52! AI Music Revisited
    May 29 2026

    In this episode, Glen and Jim wade back into the world of AI, attempting to see how far its creative work has come in the last year or so. We gloss over the ethical issues and dive right back in where we left off in episode 32, last season. But now, instead of pitting Jim against AI, we give AI more info on Jim’s music and see if it can replicate his sound.

  • 50! Commercial Jingles
    Apr 24 2026

    They wormed their way into your brain and never left. This week, Glen and Jim dig into the surprisingly rich history of the commercial jingle—from a barbershop quartet selling Wheaties in 1926 to the earworm arms race of the ’80s and ’90s. What made them stick? Why did they almost disappear? And can you still recite the Big Mac ingredient list on demand? You already know the answer.

  • 49! Minisode: Disney Magic (Terms and Conditions Apply)
    Apr 10 2026

    Glen just got back from Walt Disney World — and he has thoughts. Three parks, three days, one very opinionated ten-year-old, and a crash course in why being a seasoned Disney Adult doesn’t mean the park can’t still humble you. Lightning Lanes, late nights, a dinner reservation that didn’t survive Hollywood Studios, and the moment EPCOT finally had its walls down.

    Feb 27 2026

In Part 2 of our Classic Sitcom Bracket, Glen and Jim dive back into TV comedy history to argue, reminisce, and lovingly overanalyze which classic sitcoms deserve to advance. Expect strong opinions, nostalgia bombs, and at least a few “wait, are we really eliminating that show?” moments.

  • 46! Minisode: We Wrote a Novel in Bed
    Feb 13 2026

    We swear the title of this episode is accurate. It’s also it’s not what it sounds like. This minisode dives into a bedtime-born writing experiment involving AI, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Alien, and the kind of creative momentum that only shows up when you should probably be sleeping.

  • 45! Classic Sitcoms Bracket (Part 1)
    Jan 30 2026

    This week on That’s Our Show!, Glen and Jim kick off a two-part “Classic Sitcoms” bracket—starting with a quick cold open, then laying down what “classic” actually means (rewatchability, characters/chemistry, writing, and cultural impact) before the gloves come off.

    Along the way, they trade early sitcom memories and build the master list, cut it down to a 32-show bracket, and run a fast, no-waffling Round 1 to see who advances. Part 2 brings the bloodbath: quarters to semis to the final… and any “committee review” outrage that follows.
