Gallagher, Jr. sits down with comedians, actors, musicians, authors, and creators of all kinds to talk about the work they love and the stories behind it. No gimmicks, no script. Just two people connecting, laughing, and diving into what makes life and art awesome.

10 YEARS OF AWESOME! That's right, we've hit 10 years of Everything is Awesome, and we're doing what every other IP does when they hit major milestones: REBOOTING WITH A GENDER SWAP! Ok, not really, BUT it is fun that our guest this week, Taylor Kellar, is such a big Back to the Future fan, as it ties into a major conversation that Garrett Smith and I had back in the first two episodes of this…
Talking with Erin Stegeman feels like sitting down with someone you’ve known forever and immediately picking up where you left off. Erin is a writer, director, and performer who has spent years creating smart, scrappy parody work, and in this episode of Everything is Awesome , we spend a lot of time talking about what happens to creative projects long after you think you’ve moved on from them. We…
Talking with Craig Liggeons is like talking to the guy at the convention who has seen everything, read everything, and somehow remembers every lineup change and post-credit scene along the way. Craig is a Philadelphia pop culture personality, comic book expert, and host of Comic Book Gurus , a show that dives into comic book movies, comics themselves, and fan culture from a Philly perspective. In…
We're dropping this a little late because Kev's oldest got injured in wrestling! Back to a normal schedule next week! Mike and Kev are back! After taking a sick week, the boys are back to take a look at movies, video games, and TV projects that are coming in 2026. They also take a minute to reflect on their creative goals for 2026.

PIVOT! We'll be back next with our look ahead to 2026, featuring Mike DeAngelo, but we're both feeling a bit under the weather. So, we chat with a different Mike! Enter Michael Pickard—an award-winning author who got his start in writing in an unconventional way. From letters to his daughter to writing the perfect time travel story, Michael's story is that of a true independent creator. That…
It's officially 2026! It's time for our annual tradition of sitting down with Mike DeAngelo to talk about the previous year—that's right, it's the Everything is Awesome 2025 Rewind ! We look back at the entertainment, specifically in film and video games [with a touch of TV and books] that we enjoyed with some rough top ten lists. We also take the time to reflect on what each of us has done…

200 episodes. Man, that's something special. This is the first podcast I've done where we've hit that number. Happy Hour hit around 175 episodes or so before I shut it down, though I may have been part of The Stabcast for close to 200 episodes. Regardless... this is special, no matter how long it took to get to it. And just like we did for Everything is Awesome Episode 100 , we're playing a game!…
This is one of my absolute favorite episodes I've ever recorded. When I sit down and think about my favorite episodes (and, to be fair, every episode has a special place in my heart), they are usually on opposite sides of the spectrum. Our live shows, which I love, are either in a "Late Night" format or a panel from a convention. We have episodes like 100 (and next week's 200th episode) where we…
Let's talk about podcasting and how no one is an expert. Everything is Awesome is nearly 10 years old. I've been podcasting for nearly 19 years. Yet, an entire interview is missing. It happens to the best of us. None of us is perfect, and we should always be striving to learn from our failures. "Failure is Success Training." ~ Kevin Smith It's a short episode this week because of said failure…
