Should I buy a gun now after political turmoil and what immediate safety caveats should I know?
This is an iHeart Podcast.
Guaranteed human. Hey, Portlandia fans.
Carrie Brownstein and Fred Armisen here.
The dream of the 90s is alive in podcast form.
We're launching Podlandia AO Rewatch, our brand new podcast where we revisit every episode of Portlandia together, breaking down sketches, going deep on our iconic characters, and pulling back the curtain on how it all got made.
And we'll also be joined by the people who helped bring it all to life. Guest stars, collaborators, and friends, including director Jonathan Kreisel, the mayor himself, Kyle MacLachlan, legendary musician Amy Mann, and many more.
Kyle is going for it here. You fully improvised not just words, but a song, a melody.
Well, I thought you were all going to write a song.
I remember you thinking that. Listen to Podlandia, AO Rewatch on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
What's up, fam? I'm sports journalist Ari Chambers. Hey, what's up, y'all? It's your girl, Sam Jay.
And we're the hosts of Everyone Watches Women's Sports, a new podcast from Together and iHeart Women's Sports. We're breaking down the biggest headlines.
Naomi Osaka showing out. Shout out to you, Naomi. The viral moments. I've been obsessed with Kashawn Rock's boxing journey. She looks good. Her combos are swift. And the stories everyone's talking about across women's sports.
Because everyone watches women's sports. Listen to Everyone Watches Women's Sports on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
I'm Jake Brennan, and on my podcast, Disgraceland, I tell the stories behind music's biggest names. Like how the story of the Foo Fighters isn't just about music. It's about grief, shock, and the moment everything changed. Imagine that. You're in the biggest band on the planet, as Dave Grohl was in 1994 in Nirvana. And the phone rings, and you learn that your singer, your friend, the reluctant voice of a generation, Kurt Cobain, is dead. Listen to Disgraceland on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Listen to You're the Problem with Yamanika on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Hey everybody, Robert Evans here, and I wanted to let you know this is a compilation episode, so every episode of the week that just happened is here in one convenient and with somewhat less ads package for you to listen to in a long stretch if you want.
If you've been listening to the episodes every day this week, there's going to be nothing new here for you, but you can make your own decisions. What's pew-pewing my pews? This is Robert Evans, and It Could Happen Here, a podcast about it happening here, as it seems to be more every week. And when things get worse, one thing that a lot of folks start talking about is, should I buy a gun? And obviously this is a fraught question, and the only responsible answers to it are very complicated. And so to talk over some very complicated answers, we've got James Stout. And we have in the audience with us the great Carl Casarda. Carl of InRangeTV, thank you for coming on to be our resident firearms expert in this podcast where we try not to be deeply irresponsible.
Yeah, thank you for having me on. It's always a pleasure to come back to the show. And people always ask for more collabs, and here we are, but on a very important topic. And the only question I have now is, when do you change the name of the podcast to, Oh No, It's Happening Here?
Okay.
We're talking with the marketing people. It done happened here. Oh shit, it's happening again. It's been happening here. Here it is, here, now, right in this moment. Be here now, comma, it. Yeah. We've got to work out which one SEO is best, but we're on it, Carl. Don't worry. Great. We're working on it. So as I think both of you know, but maybe listeners don't, gun sales typically soar before elections as do ammunition purchases. People are afraid of gun bans has been traditionally one reason why. And the firearms industry is not afraid of hyping those up to increase sales in election years.
