• Homesteaders

  Nate Petroski is an off-the-grid recluse who has a girlfriend he met online, millions of fans all across the country, and a bespoke beard-oil brand. Something isn’t adding up here. In this finale episode, Hannah and Maia step into the wilderness of the internet’s very own homesteading community. These influencers make a living documenting their alternative, self-sufficient lifestyles. And, in an increasingly volatile political and economic climate that has many people wishing to go back to basics, it’s extremely lucrative. But is being an internet influencer antithetical to the tenets of off-grid living? Or does it make it more community-oriented than the lifestyle allows? Listen to find out! Tangents include: a divisive Oscars season, Hannah becoming a female pickup artist, and the perplexing contradictions of AmishTok.  Support us on Patreon and get juicy bonus content: ⁠https://www.patreon.com/rehashpodcast⁠ Intro and outro song by Ian Mills: ⁠https://linktr.ee/ianmillsmusic

• Seapunks

  You don’t know what seapunk is. We don’t know what seapunk is. Even seapunks don’t know what seapunk is. Well at least, most of them don’t. It all started with a guy named Lil’ Internet and his dream of a barnacle-adorned leather jacket. Quickly evolving (or devolving, depending on how you look at it) into a much-talked-about, less-practiced internet subculture helmed by two rather dogmatic blue-haired musicians. While even they couldn’t define seapunk, which shares elements from just about every other early 2010s subculture, it became the subject of a slew of self-indulgent thinkpieces and a whole lot of internal naval-gazing and gatekeeping. No one, not even Azealea Banks, was safe from their pitchforks (or tridents). But in this episode, Hannah and Maia ask: is sea punk even about the sea? Is it even punk? And why did this subculture sink so early into its watery grave? Tangents include: the Bath & Body Works renaissance, buying gifts for teenagers, and Maia’s neglected goldfish Chloe.  Get a whole month of great cinema FREE: mubi.com/rehash Support us on Patreon and get juicy bonus content: ⁠https://www.patreon.com/rehashpodcast⁠ Intro and outro song by our talented friend Ian Mills: ⁠https://linktr.ee/ianmillsmusic

• Deadheads

  Whip out your tie-dye t-shit and skull-patterned socks, because it’s time to talk about the Grateful Dead. Or, rather, their die-hard, multigenerational, technologically proficient fanbase, the Deadheads. Born from the jug bands and acid test shows of 1960s San Francisco, the Grateful Dead took the world by storm with their experimental, long-form jam sessions that, for over five decades, drew legions of young hippies from across the country to experience (with the help of some very strong psychedelics) the pure sonic bliss of a Dead show. But, like laced PCP, nothing can be pure forever. And when your fanbase now comprises of the likes of Nancy Pelosi, Andy Cohen, and Anne Coulter, and your band is now helmed by indie demon John Mayer, you’ve gotta wonder… what went wrong? In this episode, Hannah and Maia are joined by Hannah’s father and former Deadhead, Patrick Raine, to discuss the legacy of the Deadheads, their spirited (or spiritual) online presence, and the dangers of a band outsized by its fanbase. Tangents include: Hannah’s terrible texting abilities, a lively discussion about downtown Toronto’s “The Well”, and Hannah’s dad’s love for the hit Bravo reality show, Below Deck.  Get a whole month of great cinema FREE: mubi.com/rehash Support us on Patreon and get juicy bonus content: ⁠https://www.patreon.com/rehashpodcast⁠ Intro and outro song by our talented friend Ian Mills: ⁠https://linktr.ee/ianmillsmusic

• Weebs

  Weebs… and the people who hate them. Japan has always had a distinctive relationship with the West. But ever since it broke out on the global stage with its “gross national cool” - distributing an array of films, shows, video games, and toys the world over, Westerners have taken on a particular fascination with the country. To the point that an entire Western subculture has formed around an interest… or rather obsession, with all things Japanese. In this episode, Hannah and Maia track how the weeb was born - from the radical DIY origins of manga and otaku, to the fedora-wearing white Redditors of today who hump h*ntai body pillows. But the question remains: Is a weeb a person who simply attends anime conventions and enjoys a vast knowledge of Japan, or a gooner with a Japan fetish? OR does this binary really exist at all?

• Murderinos

  Ever since Serial burst onto the scene back in 2015 , it birthed not only the world of podcasting itself, but an entire cottage industry of true crime podcasts, each one more ethically dubious than the last. But one such podcast may be, at least by title, the very worst: My Favorite Murder. This wildly popular series has been criticized over the years for its flippant water-cooler recounting of people’s real life traumas. And while My Favorite Murder made efforts to correct some of its wrongs, it has facilitated an avid online fandom called Murderinos, comprised mostly of self-proclaimed mentally ill girlies who have grown so prominent on the internet as to embody their own subculture. In this episode, Hannah and Maia discuss the bizarre formation of this alt-girl army, question arbitrary lines drawn in the true crime sand, and ponder whether shame is sometimes a good thing. Tangents include: Hannah and Maia undergoing public couple’s therapy, and Hannah’s coining of the term “shame-negative’.  Support us on Patreon and get juicy bonus content: ⁠https://www.patreon.com/rehashpodcast⁠ Intro and outro song by our talented friend Ian Mills: ⁠https://linktr.ee/ianmillsmusic
