The third installment of our podcast is now live, go have a listen!

We're also about to release the first installment of our new quarterly zine. If you've enjoyed our graphic tees, podcast episodes, and blog posts you'll definitely want to get a copy of the zine. It will be totally free of ads and loaded with satire, rants, fascinating facts, life pro tips, and more. The release is coming up this month, so stay tuned!

Lastly, a friendly reminder that US midterm elections are right around the corner! If you're in the US, be sure to vote! Make your friends vote. But even before then, make sure you're registered and find out your polling place. There have been reports of voter suppression shenanigans afoot, so make sure you've got your stuff in order! Make this patriotic kitty below proud of your civic engagement. If you're feeling extra spry check out this list of volunteer opportunities for all the candidates looking to get into office this fall and check 45's power. Lots of stuff you can even do from home in your PJs. Huzzah!

 Peace, love, and civic engagement,

Boredwalk

This week has been a doozy here at Boredwalk HQ, gang! Here's what's been going on:

• More podcast! We received largely positive feedback on our first podcast episode, so we decided to spring for a schmancy microphone and record another one! To listen on Libsyn, click here. To listen on Google Play Music, click here. To listen via RSS feed, click here. We've also submitted to (and been approved by) iTunes, but those lazy layabouts like to take their sweet time indexing new shows, so it might be a day or two before it's searchable there. If enough of you complain about SoundCloud we'll add it there. If you're the sort of maniac who listens to podcasts on Twitter, here you go. Like heaven, Spotify can wait.

Things we discuss in this week's episode: ski lifts built by raccoons, Vietnamese-style coffee, 19th century kangaroo memes and the laws that killed them, bizarre cover bands, food festival fails, and a brief Q&A with our production specialist Sarah about what it's like working at Boredwalk. We also discuss stuff we're working on and future plans for the podcast. Exciting!

• We're hiring! We currently have two full-time positions open — one for a production assistant, and another for an e-commerce specialist. Details for both can be found here if you or someone you know in the Los Angeles area might be interested. Pro-tip: Interested parties should pay close attention to (and follow) all application instructions. Failure to do so might (re: definitely will) result in us ignoring you. No offense, people-who-don't-follow-directions, but it's really a must-have around here.

• We added two new products: duffel bags and messenger bags. They're really durable, very stylish, and feature many of the graphics you've come to know and love!

• We've also added some new designs!

• Aunt & Uncle II: Electric Boogaloo! Shout out to our very first nephew (human division), Oliver! Sis-in-law Beth delivered the goods like a champ — figuratively and literally — and hooked our niece Annarose up with her very own baby bro!

We'd be remiss if we didn't also welcome our most recent niece (non-human division) into the fam as well: say hey to the goodest girl we know, Daisy!

 That's it until next week! We hope you all have a fantastic Labor Day weekend, and we'll be back next week!

Peace, love, and tacos,

Boredwalk

This week we decided to take a stab at recording a podcast. We share a little of what goes on here at Boredwalk and what goes into getting your favorite new shirts delivered to your door.

It might seem like it's all fun and games over here, but we sweat the details like crazy. This week we share some of the snafus that we deal with from vendors and how we feel about delivering an outstanding shopping experience. Have a listen and let us know what you think.

If you guys end up liking this, we'll do some more episodes and cover more topics. We'll share more behind the scenes anecdotes and bring you interviews and stories from our staff and other creative pros we admire. We'll also get the podcast properly syndicated so you'll be able to subscribe. Let us know what you think!
