Magnum, podcast - revisiting "Magnum P.I."

Breaking down our day at Comerica Park, surrounded by hundreds or thousands of Magnums — and a few loyal listeners! Jason Snell, Philip Michaels and David J. Loehr.

We’ve had a spooky vision! It’s your “Magnum, podcast” season finale live from Detroit on Magnum Day weekend! Your hosts introduce segments… in person! We differ on the quality of this episode, which a majority of our hosts really liked! Is it the prototypical Magnum episode, or is the psychic woo-woo too much? Is this a secret backdoor pilot? Is that how journalism works? We get to the bottom of it! [Last show of the season. But see you next year and we have some special plans in the meantime!] Jason Snell, Philip Michaels and David J. Loehr.

Hey, it’s the one with Ernest Borgnine! He’s a wrestler down on his luck, which means we have to turn to Phil to get a read on the wrestling nonsense in this episode. Sit down next to me on the same side of the sushi table, Mag, real natural like. Detroit Death Grip Dept.: We will be in Detroit THIS SUNDAY, August 16, for Magnum P.I. Day at the Detroit Tigers. We are going to try to meet listeners post-game at Union Assembly near the stadium. Failing that, email us at magnum@theincomparable.com if you’re going to be around and we’ll try to let you know where we are. Jason Snell, Philip Michaels and David J. Loehr.

Texas lightning? You gotta get inside when that happens. Oh, wait, it’s just the nickname of some con artist who claims to be a spy? Magnum wears a tuxedo and plays high-stakes poker? This episode forces Phil to introduce a very popular new segment, “That’s not how it works!” The segment recurs. A lot. Jason Snell, Philip Michaels and David J. Loehr.

Why are we here at this waterfall? Who has a gun? FLASHBACK! It’s a very silly episode that we admire for its silliness and lament for its laziness. Also, when are baseball games played? Talk about a flashback… Jason Snell, Philip Michaels and David J. Loehr.
