pplpod Episode 136 dives into Howard Kremer’s wonderfully sideways career—comic, rapper, podcaster, and architect of the eternal “Summah” ethos. We trace the MTV cult classic Austin Stories, the alt-scene years that sharpened his soft-voiced mischief, and the birth of Dragon Boy Suede—comedy rap that’s both filthily specific and shockingly musical. Then it’s the Earwolf era: Who Charted? turning pop charts into a weekly hang (with Kulap Vilaysack and a rotating crew) and Grifthorse’s thrift-store gospel with Megan Koester. We unpack the craft underneath the goof—commitment to premise, gentle subversion, earworm hooks—and the DIY tradition of the Have A Summah albums that made a season into a worldview. A love letter to a lifer who proves you can be weird, warm, and wildly consistent—all at once.
