Our interview with Mickey Down and Konrad Kay is relentless. Our mates Mick and Kon—co-creators, executive producers, directors and co-writers of HBO's Industry—took all the risk to reap all the rewards by repeating another pod appearance, wrapping up their big NYC press junket with us to trade in Loewe love and Issey insanity, brothel creepers, losing your wallet on a business trip, the hallmarks and themes of season 3 that set it apart from season 1's sex and drugs and season 2's plot and narrative, is HBO's coveted 9pm slot on Sunday nights what finally takes the show mainstream, the pressure of world building and how they measure success, picking out prosthetic penises, how messed up do you really have to be to convincingly bring such terrible people to life, writing dialogue to shock and appall each other, casting their dream sesh, swiping the corporate card for R&D, sitting in the director's chair for the first time, the many joys and few pains of how they work as a duo, Jon Snow's beautiful white ass cheeks, fumbling the Virgil Abloh merch bag, all the best fashion easter eggs from a show that truly loves fashion, taking the piss out of each other's personal style, their favorite garbage television, too many season 3 teases for the real heads to name and much more on Mickey Down and Konrad Kay's interview with The Only Podcast That Matters™.


In a world saturated with polished takes and predictable opinions, Throwing Fits offers a refreshingly unfiltered conversation. This podcast operates from the premise that two self-proclaimed grown dirtbags can provide some of the most genuine commentary on contemporary culture. The hosts navigate the ever-shifting landscape of style, art, and what it means to be a person with interests in today's world, all without taking themselves too seriously. Listeners are invited into a space where high and low culture collide, where a deep dive into a fashion trend can sit comfortably beside a rant about daily absurdities. The tone is less instructional and more observational, driven by a shared curiosity and a willingness to question the status quo. You'll hear the hosts grapple with the zeitgeist, often finding humor and insight in the most unexpected places. Their dynamic is the core of the show-a blend of camaraderie, playful ribbing, and moments of surprising sincerity that makes each episode feel like catching up with your most opinionated, yet oddly relatable, friends. It’s a dialogue about the things that shape our tastes and identities, delivered with a distinct voice that refuses to be neatly categorized. For those tired of formulaic discussions, this podcast provides a much-needed dose of personality and authentic, meandering conversation that somehow always circles back to what’s interesting, weird, or worth talking about right now.
