Alive Podcast - by Flarup: Recent Episodes
Mat Elfring, Andrew Parks, And
Each week, Mat and one of his friends watch music videos from the past and present, delving into the stories the videos try to tell.
It only took a year and a half, but we’re finally discussing the music video that kicked off the video revolution: “Video Killed The Radio Star” by The Buggles. Additionally, Mat struggles to discuss “This Is America” by Childish Gambino and decides to go into it when there’s someone else cohosting with him. So instead, he discusses Marshmello’s “Alone,” which is fitting since there’s no co-host this week.

Marshmello – Alone
Childish Gambino – This Is America (Mat doesn’t fully discuss it, but you should watch it anyway)

Before Episode 54 hits your ears, our Madonna episode, you may be wondering what the guys do while watching the music videos. So we recorded us watching “Express Yourself” by Madonna to give you an inside baseball look at the show. Warning: We were a few beers in that night. In addition, we read some viewer mail, and Mat discusses putting down his dog last year. Yeah, this episode is tonally all over the place.
