Filthy Armenian Adventures
Based in Los Angeles, California, FILTHY ARMENIAN ADVENTURES is a travel agency for the soul that takes you all over the map of our cultural apocalypse and deep into its most forbidden and forgotten territories. Where no topic is taboo. Where no personality is too extreme. Where the past is never past, the present’s always present, and the Santa Ana Winds are always blowing. Where the most enchanting public or private figures in our landscape are dared to abandon their masks and join a Filthy Armenian in his quest for truth, gold, and John Galt’s motor. Subscribe on patreon.com/filthyarmenian for access to twice as many episodes, including the most intimate and scandalous ones. Each episode is both a stand-alone ear movie adventure and part of an ongoing, twisted narrative that can only be experienced in full on Patreon. Created and hosted by Alec Mouhibian.

My Other Show, and Jerry Sandusky
Tuesday Jun 06, 2023
Tuesday Jun 06, 2023
As I take a few extra days to prepare my bombshell Bob Dylan adventure, allow me to introduce my other podcast THE BACK WALL, a raunchy and reactionary psychedelic sports show I co-host with Glen Rockney of Rare Candy fame. This is our most popular episode so far, and you need no interest or knowledge of sports at all to care about it. It features one of the biggest media/legal scandals of the century, one that most people assume to be legit. The ep features John Ziegler, former LA talk radio host and the central character in David Foster Wallace's excellent feature story The Host, who torpedoed his career to prove that ex Penn State coach Jerry Sandusky is innocent.
If you like what you hear, get a free trail subscription to The Back Wall on Patreon for a lot more.

Hippie sermons in the desert. Zoomers cancel Blink182. The hipster devolves from rock n roll to useless lib nag. Not Star Wars, but Spiderman explains the end of things.

Wednesday Mar 22, 2023
To some, it is paradise. To me, it is the deepest darkest pit of childhood fear and boyhood loathing, Longhouse HQ, symbol sight & sound of chthonian meandering maternal schemes. Can the circle be unbroken? Two of my favorite boys in the world take me to THE DOMAIN of the trauma beast (after a pit stop at diner heaven) on this Linklatery Texas-forever Smelly Sue torture sojourn to the DEPARTMENT STORE. Can I sniff my way to appreciate the pastime of my mother? Can we learn to enjoy the things we hate? Can the rhythms of Texas overcome trauma? My sis, a shrink, hops on the phone to help me review the case.
