About the Show
Music, politics, movies, and philosophy - All Downhill covers all of this and more with the gleeful abandon of a bonfire in a library. Join hosts Patrick J. B. Simmons and Michael Patrick Little as they talk, argue, drink, tell jokes, and chat with occasional guests in a loosely formatted show which runs the gambit from serious to silly based entirely on their whims and the topic at hand.
About Mike
Self-proclaimed as a “total badass” and the “standard repository of all useless facts,” Michael Patrick Little is a father of one, a graduate of Ball State University, a music fanatic, and a horror film enthusiast. With a taste for Ugandan gin, spicy food, and Søren Kierkegaard, Mike has dabbled in everything from writing to soccer to competitive Team Fortress 2. During his day job he wears a suit, but at night he's in a heavy metal t-shirt and baseball cap. A native Hoosier, Catholic, and Conservative Rawlsian, when not recording All Downhill, Mike can be found listening to metal with his wife and daughter.
About Patrick
Described by friends as “sarcastic,” “sort of a dick,” and “a jerk,” Patrick J. B. Simmons is an Eagle Scout, web designer, and occasional dungeon master. Having spent his late teens and early 20's fumbling around in a swamp, Patrick has developed a deep distrust of mosquitoes, alligators, and Frank Lloyd Wright. Never one to say no to a glass of tea or a burger, Patrick also enjoys drone music, dark comedy, and skiing. Patrick has played piano, melodica, and clarinet on stage and a mobster on film. When not recording all Downhill, Patrick is usually reading books or yelling at his computer.
