587 - I'm a Professional
2026/04/17
Tonight's show was a bit different because we didnt' actually do any news! It has been so long since we've met up to put out a show that we just went for it and rambled with each other for a while and happily chatted with our wonderful chatroom. We hope you enjoy it, because I know we did!
Apparently we were also VERY tired. End of week late night shows are something of a herculean effort these days, but we did what we did!

584 - Cry Havoc and Let Loose the Swears of War
2026/02/02
Another FINE episode of Horseshoes & Hand Grenades is out for your listening pleasure. I think we really solved most of the world's problems in this one. We at least made sure people never joined a home schooling board, or created AI agents to help direct your life. So, mission accomplished?
Snow isn’t actually white — it’s transparent. It only looks white because millions of tiny ice crystals bounce light around like a busted disco ball, which is why packed or melting snow starts to look gray and sad once the light stops bouncing and reality sets in.

583 - My Senior Prostate
2026/01/25
This week we're back in FULL FORM. Like the mighty internet news voltron you were hoping for. Producer Jacob was back in the saddle providing news and solid audio for us to do the thing we were meant to do. This was a good one folks. I hope you enjoy it.

2026/01/25
It's been a long time, ladies and gentlemen, but we've returned! Smash and I took over the internet airwaves and produced a show! We're grateful for those that could stop by. Despite our audio being a little "not great" for this episode, we had a good time. We're looking forward to more and hope you come along with us!

Episode 577 – Bangin’ For The Nation
2024/09/20
Ashley and I have no idea what we're doing. What we do know is that we're trying to figure out how to make this show easier to manage. And by WE, I mean ME. I have to figure out where to move this thing and how to do it gracefully.
Who are we kidding? We're Horseshoes & Hand Grenades and no amount of branding was ever going to change that. So here's a new episode for you. Have fun!

A New Start
2024/09/10
There comes a time in every podcast's life where you have to make a change. That time has come for Horseshoes & Hand Grenades. The little podcast that could is sunsetting itself. We've been largely off the air for the past few years and despite our best efforts, we haven't been able to pull it together. So it is with sort of heavy hearts that we lay this podcast to rest.
BUT
Just because one podcast has to end doesn't mean another one can't take its place! Ashley and I are like a parasite. We can only truly thrive when we're doing what we do on the internet for the fine folks like you. If you're reading this, we want to let you know that we are BACK! For real this time. We're setting our expectations a little lower, and we're working with what we've got. What do we got, you ask? ONE HALF HOUR
That's right. We're going to be putting out a BRAND NEW podcast called “Stephen and Smash's Half Hour of Power.” It's a smaller show than Horseshoes & Hand Grenades, at least for now, with the small objective of producing 30 minutes of content once a week. We're shooting for every Thursday but there may be days and weeks where we have to move the date or time to get the show in your ears.
So hold on tight, add a new podcast to your podcast service of choice, and let's get this show on the road! There's no sense looking back when we have so much more ahead of us.

Factoid of the Week:
In traditional Chinese culture, the dragon typically embodies the qualities of power, nobleness, leadership, honour, luck, and success. In fact, the dragon is often considered the most highly revered zodiac animal of all. Many years ago, it was even commonly thought that the Emperors of enormous dynasties were reincarnations of dragons.
