Top Chef’s Jamie Tran

Hobo Radio: A Pop Culture Podcast

The past year has been an incredibly difficult one for restaurant owners. Many have struggled to stay open and to stay financially solvent during a global pandemic.

This struggle is front and center in season 18 of Bravo’s Top Chef. It was also the motivating factor for Jamie Tran, chef and owner of Las Vegas’ The Black Sheep, to compete on the show.

We talked to Jamie about her path to becoming a chef, her restaurant’s struggles during Covid and what it’s like competing on Top Chef.

This week’s music:

  • Intro – “Giddy Up” by Tahuna Breaks
  • Interstitial – “Vishnu Meets Funk” and “Ancient Ritual” by Lucas PernĂ˝ & Miloslav Kollar
  • End – “Spirit Chef” by Miseryslims

Hobo Radio 587 – The Oscars aren’t good, everybody: HoboTrashcan’s Guide to the 2021 Academy Awards

Hobo Radio: A Pop Culture Podcast

Joel Murphy and Lars Periwinkle are joined once again by Molly Regan to share their thoughts on every major category in the 93rd annual Academy Awards ceremony (including all of the ones they definitely aren’t qualified to discuss, like cinematography).

It’s been a strange year for movies. With studios holding back on releasing their biggest films, there is a field full of unlikely contenders this time around. Will Hollywood take some chances and reward people they’d normally overlook? Probably not. But you’re going to watch anyway, so you might as well hype yourself up by listening to this extra-long episode.

This week’s music:

  • Intro – “Giddy Up” by Tahuna Breaks
  • End – “This Ain’t Hollywood” by Silence Is Sexy

Hobo Radio 586 – X always gave it to ya

Hobo Radio: A Pop Culture Podcast

Joel Murphy and Lars Periwinkle remember the life of the truly one of a kind rap icon DMX.

DMX has come up a number of times before on the show, so they also revisit two of those times – 1.) Hobo Radio 332, where they discussed the phrase “Twice as butt” from “Where The Hood At?” and 2.) Joel’s interview with Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland, where they explained how getting the rights to “X Got’ Give It To Ya” was like an episode of Law and Order.

They also vent their frustrations with Netflix canceling shows prematurely and the Arclight Theaters closing.

This week’s music:

  • Intro – “Giddy Up” by Tahuna Breaks
  • End – “X Gon’ Give It To Ya/No Diggity (Acoustic Mash-Up)” by Steven Smith
