Gene Baur is the founder of Farm Sanctuary, a place of rescue, refuge, and adoption for hundreds of farm animals each year. Farm Sanctuary shelters enable visitors to connect with farm animals as emotional, intelligent individuals. Gene has also led campaigns to change laws about animal treatment and taken undercover photographs of farms, stockyards, and slaughterhouses, documenting deplorable conditions. His pictures and videos exposing factory farming cruelties have aired nationally and internationally, educating millions about the plight of modern farm animals, and his rescue work inspired an international farm sanctuary movement. Once called “the conscience of the food movement” by Time magazine, Gene walks the walk and talks the talk when it comes to food and animal rights. Jay and Gene discuss the political and cultural steps that will bring about the end of factory farming and a healthier approach to animals and food.

The Warning's Thunder at The Ritz 45:37

منذ يومين45:37

45:37

Send us a text Take a wild ride through rock history and roadside adventures as Mike and Tom deliver another unpredictable episode filled with concert tales and travel mishaps. Mike's musical heart is set ablaze after witnessing The Warning—three sisters from Monterrey, Mexico—deliver a face-melting performance at The Ritz in Raleigh. His VIP experience (which he didn't even realize he had purchased) granted him early access, signed memorabilia, and encounters with possibly the greatest bartender in North Carolina. Mike dives deep into the band's remarkable origin story: how these three sisters began playing instruments before age eight, learned on Rock Band video games, and accidentally went viral with a Metallica cover originally intended just for their grandparents. By the time they formed their band in 2013, they were just 13, 11, and 8 years old—yet their talent was already undeniable. Meanwhile, Tom recounts his eventful journey to Cherokee that quickly spiraled into chaos. What started as a simple road trip became a traveling circus complete with two chihuahuas, an extra dog (who promptly got carsick), and mysteriously appearing birds. His colorful description of entering an Indian Reservation dispensary wearing "a cowboy hat and a red cannabis shirt" with camouflage shorts paints the perfect picture of culture clash. The trip home featured the special anxiety only car trouble three hours from home can bring—though somehow the vehicle ran better at highway speeds than when idling. Between Mike's musical discovery and Tom's misadventures, the episode captures everything fans love about this podcast: authentic experiences, unexpected twists, and the undeniable chemistry between hosts who find humor in life's chaotic moments. Listen in as they prove once again that the alternative path makes for the best stories.…

When America Turned 200: The Soundtrack of a Nation 1:10:57

منذ 7 weeks1:10:57

1:10:57

Send us a text Step into a time machine to 1976, when America celebrated its bicentennial, bell-bottoms were wide, and the musical landscape was experiencing a revolution unlike any other. This vibrant year saw rock music expanding to fill stadiums while punk kicked down the establishment's door and disco seduced reluctant dancers across the country. Mike and Tom share their personal connections to this transformative year with palpable enthusiasm, exploring how Boston's groundbreaking debut album, Queen's operatic masterpiece "Bohemian Rhapsody," and the Eagles' mysterious "Hotel California" created the soundtrack to their formative years. Their genuine excitement bubbles over as they recall discovering Kiss at age 9-13, marveling at Steven Tyler's vocal range on "Dream On," and forming air bands with friends to perform Bay City Rollers hits. Beyond music, the hosts paint a vivid picture of 1976 America – a nation draped in patriotic red, white, and blue everything (including toilet paper!), where CB radios connected truckers and civilians alike, and innovations like Apple Computer were quietly changing the world. The conversation weaves through cultural touchstones from Rocky to Charlie's Angels, creating a rich tapestry of nostalgia. The hosts don't just catalog songs; they reveal how these tracks became intertwined with their personal experiences, from first crushes to childhood dreams of rock stardom. Tom's confession about using country music and Dr. Hook to get through lonely summers on the farm stands alongside Mike's memories of cutting guitar shapes from wood – authentic moments that show how deeply music shapes our identities. Ready to rediscover the year when Queen, the Ramones, and Donna Summer somehow shared the same cultural moment? Join us for this joyful deep dive into the music that defined 1976 and the people who loved it. Leave a message on our website at mtalpod.com – we'd love to hear your musical memories!…

Bell-Bottoms and Ballroom Blitz: A Journey Back to 1975 1:06:22

منذ 9 weeks1:06:22

1:06:22

Send us a text Step into a world where bell-bottoms were the height of fashion, rock music blared from 8-track players, and not a single person worried about gluten. Mike and Tom, your guides through this time-warped musical landscape, transport you back to 1975 – a pivotal year that shaped not just music, but an entire generation's cultural identity. The hosts share deeply personal connections to the year's biggest hits. Tom reveals how the Eagles' "Best of My Love" takes him back to childhood days learning to operate a combine harvester, while Mike recalls how Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" blew his 13-year-old mind with its revolutionary structure and theatrical power. Their different ages – Mike entering his teen years and Tom at just 8 – create a fascinating contrast in how they experienced these cultural touchstones. As they methodically work through Billboard's Top 40 from 1975, each song unlocks memories and stories. From Sweet's "Ballroom Blitz" to Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here," the music becomes a gateway to discussions about growing up, first crushes, lost friends, and family relationships. The hosts don't just play critic – they lay bare how these songs became emotional bookmarks in their lives, still resonating decades later. Between musical explorations, Mike and Tom take a nostalgic detour into 1975's popular toys – the Pet Rock, Weebles that "wobbled but didn't fall down," and the Green Machine that rivaled the Big Wheel. Tom's confession about stealing (and later returning) a much-coveted "Squirmle" toy adds a touch of childhood mischief to the conversation. Their regular characters Pip and Squeak provide comic relief with their bickering about a recent photo shoot, creating a perfect balance to the sometimes poignant musical memories. Join this journey through time where the memories might be fuzzy, but the emotions and music remain crystal clear. Next week, the adventure continues into 1976!…

1974: Time-Traveling Through Music's Transitional Year 1:09:31

منذ 11 weeks1:09:31

1:09:31

Send us a text Step into a time machine with Mike and Tom as they transport you back to 1974 – that fascinating transitional year when music was caught between the fading echoes of counterculture and the emerging sounds that would define the late 70s. What exactly is a "post-hippie hangover"? It's the perfect description for 1974's musical landscape, where rock was splintering into countless subgenres while soul evolved and disco's first sparkles appeared on the horizon. The guys expertly navigate through the year's defining sounds – from Led Zeppelin's peak touring years to Queen's breakthrough with "Killer Queen," from David Bowie's dystopian glam rock to Stevie Wonder's soul masterpieces. But what makes this episode truly special is the deep dive into one-hit wonders that dominated 1974 before vanishing into obscurity. Remember "Seasons in the Sun" by Terry Jacks? That melodramatic yet somehow cheerful song about death that had everyone either sobbing or rolling their eyes? Or "Rock the Boat" by the Hughes Corporation – arguably the first disco hit to top the charts before the genre fully exploded? The conversation takes a hilariously chaotic turn when Pip and Squeak burst into the studio, determined to defend "Dead Skunk in the Middle of the Road" and Jim Stafford's "Wildwood Weed" as underappreciated classics. Their passionate (if somewhat unhinged) musical commentary provides the perfect counterpoint to Mike and Tom's more structured exploration of the era. Don't miss the "What Were They Thinking?" segment highlighting the strangest hits of 1974, including Ray Stevens' inexplicable chart-topper "The Streak" and Paul Anka's cringe-worthy "Having My Baby" (which critics have called one of the worst #1 songs of all time). Between technological shifts like the rise of FM radio and cassettes replacing 8-tracks, 1974 emerges as the weird, wonderful middle child of the decade – not as revolutionary as 1967 or as flashy as 1977, but laying essential groundwork for everything from punk to arena rock.

Music of 1973: Memory Lane 53:31

منذ 13 weeks53:31

53:31

Send us a text Step into the musical time machine as Mike and Tom explore the soundtrack of 1973 – a year when rock anthems, soul classics, and unforgettable ballads dominated the airwaves. What began as casual workplace conversations about beloved songs has transformed into a passionate deep dive through the year's defining hits. From Elton John's "Crocodile Rock" to Gladys Knight's "Midnight Train to Georgia," the hosts offer fascinating insights and personal memories triggered by these timeless classics. The episode reveals surprising discoveries about familiar tunes – songs they've loved for years but never knew the titles of, or beloved melodies whose artists remained mysteries until now. These revelations highlight how deeply music embeds itself in our memories, often detached from the details of who created it. The hosts' enthusiasm reaches its peak when discussing personal favorites that didn't make the Billboard Top 40 – including Aerosmith's "Dream On," Deep Purple's iconic "Smoke on the Water," and Golden Earring's driving anthem "Radar Love." Their stories capture why these songs continue to resonate decades later, becoming soundtracks to pivotal moments in listeners' lives. Between reminiscences of backyard bonfires and high school jukeboxes, Mike and Tom demonstrate how 1973's diverse musical landscape – spanning rock, soul, country, and pop – created cultural touchstones that transcend generations. Whether you lived through 1973 or are discovering these classics for the first time, this episode offers both nostalgia and fresh perspective on a year where musical boundaries dissolved and unforgettable hits emerged.

Judicial Scandals and Vintage Vinyl: 1972's Greatest Hits 46:31

منذ 15 weeks46:31

46:31

Send us a text Ready for a podcast that bounces between courtroom scandals and Chuck Berry's only number one hit without missing a beat? We've got you covered. The gavel comes down hard in this episode as we tackle the bizarre case of two Democratic judges arrested for harboring illegal immigrants. One judge allegedly helped an undocumented defendant escape ICE agents through a courthouse back door, while another kept a suspected Venezuelan gang member as a "handyman" in their guest house. As we unpack the legal and ethical implications, we can't help but wonder what motivates supposedly impartial judges to risk their careers and freedom for such actions. But this isn't just a current events show. We take a delightful detour into the musical treasure trove of 1972, sharing personal stories about iconic tracks that defined an era. From Don McLean's "American Pie" (no, it wasn't about Lynyrd Skynyrd) to Badfinger's Beatles-esque "No Matter What," these songs carry powerful memories. Mike recalls making out to The Raspberries' "Go All the Way," while Tom shares how Dr. Hook's "Sylvia's Mother" became the soundtrack to lonely summer days on his sister's farm, played endlessly on an 8-track player. Of course, our resident troublemakers Pip and Squeak crash the party with their own questionable 1972 selections. Chuck Berry's innuendo-laden "My Ding-a-Ling" makes an appearance, as does something about a dead skunk in the middle of the road. The segment culminates in our discovery of perhaps the strangest song of 1972 – a track called "Jungle Fever" that leaves us genuinely wondering if we're hearing torture, kidnapping, or something else entirely. Whether you're a music enthusiast, a news junkie, or just someone who appreciates unfiltered conversation, this episode delivers on all fronts.

The MT Alternative Takes on Tariffs, Trade Wars, and 1971 Music 43:56

منذ 17 weeks43:56

43:56

Send us a text Tariffs might sound like the economic equivalent of watching paint dry, but Mike and Tom transform this seemingly dry topic into an entertaining deep dive that challenges conventional thinking. Our budget economists tackle Trump's controversial trade policies with their signature no-holds-barred approach, arguing that while tariffs may cause short-term pain, they're already yielding results as countries rush to the negotiating table. Vietnam has offered to remove all tariffs, India is lowering barriers on American goods, and the UK sees these policies as an opportunity to attract investment. Despite mainstream media's often one-sided portrayal, Mike and Tom highlight how many farmers and small businesses support these measures, believing they'll level the playing field against countries that have exploited unfair trade advantages for decades. The $28 billion Market Facilitation Program that aided farmers between 2018-2020 gets a mention, showing the complex support systems behind these economic strategies. Just when the economic discussion reaches its peak, Squeak crashes the podcast with his bizarre musical tastes, sparking a hilarious debate about whether "everybody was kung fu fighting" is factually accurate. This unexpected detour provides the perfect counterbalance to the policy talk before Mike and Tom launch into their nostalgic 1971 music segment, sharing personal stories connected to classics like "Knock Three Times," "Mr. Bojangles," and "Indian Reservation." The reminiscing reveals surprisingly intimate moments – from Tom's first romantic note (plagiarized from a McCoys song) to Mike's experimental youth with "Indian Reservation" as his soundtrack. These personal connections to music create a warm, relatable atmosphere that perfectly balances the earlier policy discussion. Whether you're interested in trade economics, nostalgic music, or just enjoy listening to unfiltered conversation, this episode delivers something for everyone. Tune in, lower your expectations, and enjoy the beautiful chaos that is the MT Alternative Podcast.…

"Batteries not included: EVs and 1970 Jams" 54:34

منذ 19 weeks54:34

Send us a text What happens when you mix high-potency mushroom gummies, helicopter dangling, and forgotten hits from the 1970s? The latest MT Alternative Podcast delivers all that and more as Mike and Tom embark on another mind-altering journey through random topics and musical nostalgia. The hosts kick things off with their ongoing "scientific experiment" involving mushroom gummies, creating the perfect mindset for their signature tangential conversations. They quickly dive into a passionate rant about Tesla protesters who destroy the very electric vehicles they once celebrated – a perfect example of what Mike and Tom see as leftist hypocrisy in action. As they note, "The irony or the hypocrisy, or both... you already paid for it, you stupid ass." The highlight of this episode comes in two parts. First, Troy joins for an interview where he details his long-standing feud with Squeak – a rivalry that began when Squeak catapulted "an ungodly amount of marshmallow fluff and rainbow sprinkles" onto Troy's beloved 1995 Civic. The animosity between them has now reached legendary status, with Troy declaring, "Some grudges are bigger than us." Later, the podcast showcases five forgotten gems from 1970, including Edison Lighthouse's "Love Grows" and Marmalade's "Reflections of My Life." Tom and Mike's genuine enthusiasm for these tracks reveals their deep appreciation for an era when "songs told stories" instead of today's "gibberish." Their musical journey is punctuated by personal memories that demonstrate how these songs became interwoven with their life experiences. The madness reaches its peak when Squeak himself appears, recounting his harrowing journey to the studio – dangling from a rope beneath Troy's helicopter after a mid-air mishap. His indignation at this "ride" provides some of the episode's most hilarious moments. Whether you're a nostalgic music lover or simply enjoy listening to two friends ramble through whatever topics strike their fancy, this episode delivers the unfiltered, unpredictable entertainment that MT Alternative fans have come to expect. Join us again next time for forgotten hits from 1971!…

Send us a text Mike and Tom kick off another hilarious episode by unveiling their shiny new toy - a Zoom PodTrack P8 mixer that promises to make their ridiculous conversations sound crystal clear. "The stupid shit we say will sound much better," they joke, perfectly capturing the essence of their unfiltered approach to podcasting. Between sips of cold beer, the duo embarks on another "research" session with Crispy Blunt Minis, setting the perfect tone for their wide-ranging conversation. Their candid political musings feel like eavesdropping on two friends at a bar rather than a scripted discussion, touching on border security policies and media double standards without taking themselves too seriously. The podcast hits its comedic stride when they share a collection of absurd 911 calls and the dispatchers' brilliant responses. From someone reporting a "suspicious package" (which turns out to be their Amazon delivery) to callers complaining about bad haircuts, these stories showcase the hosts' ability to find humor in everyday absurdity. Their genuine laughter throughout this segment is infectious, pulling listeners into their world of lighthearted banter. The appearance of recurring characters Pip and Squeak adds another layer of entertainment, with ongoing jokes about Squeak's mysterious encounters with a squirrel and the promise of Troy picking him up by helicopter for the next episode. These running gags create a sense of community for regular listeners while remaining accessible to newcomers. As they wrap up, Mike and Tom preview their upcoming musical segment on forgotten songs from their youth and remind listeners about their website where voicemails can be left. Their casual sign-off perfectly captures why fans keep coming back – for the unpretentious, genuine connection they've created that feels less like a produced show and more like hanging out with old friends.

Prepare for belly laughs as we recount Squeak's hilarious squirrel misadventure caught on video, and explore the treasure trove of ridiculous excuses people concoct in daily life.

So, take a break from the serious, and join us for a hearty laugh and a chance to embrace the absurdity of life.…
