Drew Mackie is a Los Angeles-based human who makes podcasts and sometimes other things. This is his website on the internet.

Here is a list of the things Drew makes. If you want to know more about them, you click on them. That is how websites work. Drew makes…

Podcasts!

Drew is the co-host of Gayest Episode Ever, a podcast about LGBTQ-themed episodes of classic sitcoms. You might have seen the video he made for this podcast documenting every single gay joke on the history of The Simpsons, which as of the time this paragraph is being written was viewed 3.5 million times. He also hosts Singing Mountain, about video game music, and Deep Cuts & Superficial Wounds, which is about lesser-known 80s music. He is the co-founder and COO of TableCakes Productions, a woman-owned, Los Angeles podcast network. He is the producer of Sam Pancake Presents the Monday Afternoon Movie, which is about made-for-TV horror movies.

Words!

Nowadays, Drew is writing at Thrilling Tales of Old Video Games, documenting gaming history and cross-cultural connections video games can offer. Case in point: “How Popeye Changed Video Games.” In addition to working as a news editor at the Santa Barbara Independent, he has also written for MSN Entertainment, People, Vulture, KCET and some others he’s probably forgetting. From 2003 to 2021, Drew wrote about pop culture on his blog, Back of the Cereal Box, which is retired but is still online. He is currently keeping a bare-bones etymology blog, The Singing Wolf, and will be posting longer essays on a blog here. He wrote an essay on the legacy of Shelley Long that does not suck. His story about an unexplained thing that happened to a hiker was reused without attribution by that one famous true crime podcast.

Weird Videos!

Sometimes Drew makes art-like video things that just sort of exist online. They’re hard to explain, so just go look at them, but if you want to see the one he likes best, check out “Marion / Marion,” which is a sort of music video remix of the original Psycho and the 1998 remake.

Other Things!

Some things I’m just not remembering, probably. Other things I do anonymously. Try and find me.
