As we do most years we are taking advantage of the final episode of the year to take a look back at the year that was. 2025 was, as years go, “a bit of a year” for most of us. As we all firmly enter our mid-40’s I am pretty sure full calendar years of whimsy and fun are things of the past. At least until we start experimenting with whatever drugs they will be giving old people in the year 2060.
To begin with, let’s just toot our own horn a little bit, shall we? Between this show, Go Plug Yourself and all the festival shows we do in a year we ran up about 30,000 downloads in 2025. I know it’s a drop in the bucket in the big podcasting game but even that modest number is big enough to make me smile a little. Thank you rare listener who reads the show notes, we do it for you.
So after making a little room for our personal 2025s we dive into some of the headlines from the world of sports and politics. The politics talk bums us out so then we talk about more fun things like movies, TV shows and video games. Those were a lot more fun.
We keep the general theme of “year in review” going over on Garbage Time. Scott and Keith talk about some of the albums and concerts they enjoyed in 2025 and then turn their gaze to the future to figure out what movies and shows might pique their interest in 2026.
If you would like to show your support and head over to Patreon and subscribe at the 9ES Deluxe tier to listen to this and all past episodes of Garbage Time that would be appreciated.

It’s the Fall TV season everyone, which means less and less every year. With HBO releasing some of their biggest shows during the summer and Netflix just out and saying that they don’t care about traditional programming schedules, we’re less shackled to the idea that this one time of the year is for new television.
