Hero or Dick

Welcome to Hero or Dick — the podcast where Kate and KJ dig into the strange, funny, and unforgettable corners of history, pop culture, and everything in between. Each episode, we take on famous (and infamous) figures, events, and ideas, breaking them down with humor, insight, and just enough irreverence to ask the question that matters: hero…or dick?

From legendary icons to the odd stories behind movies, music, and everyday life, we pull the threads that make people and moments extraordinary. Along the way, you’ll get Kate’s infamous Fast Five lists (and KJ forgetting his), personal anecdotes, and plenty of chances to weigh in with your own takes.

Ever wondered if a celebrated artist was secretly a scoundrel? Or if a movie villain actually had a point? We live in those gray areas — the messy, funny, human places where the line between hero and dick isn’t so clear.

Join us bi-weekly for deep dives, playful banter, and the kind of conversations that leave you laughing, thinking, and maybe a little surprised. Whether you’re here for the history, the pop culture, or just to see if Kate finally got her car back, Hero or Dick is your go-to podcast for stories that entertain as much as they reveal.

Thanks!

Hero or Dick, Episode 13: UFOs & Unexpected Stardom

Lights, camera, action! Join Kate and KJ in this extraterrestrial edition of "Hero or Dick." Alpena's getting its moment in the cinematic limelight, and our very own Kate plays an intriguing part in the movie's production. As the film reels spin, KJ delves into some otherworldly experiences involving UFOs. Are we alone? Maybe. Are we entertained? Absolutely!

Dive into their out-of-this-world (pun intended) discussions, and brace yourself for their famous "Fast Five" lists—which, thanks to KJ's penchant for delightful digressions, is more like a "Leisurely Five." And speaking of recurring themes, Mr. Jason Bateman makes yet another appearance in their chat. What's the deal with that? Tune in to find out, and enjoy a rollercoaster ride of humor, local lore, and some intergalactic intrigue. 🎬🛸🎤
