About This Podcast

In 1993, Brooke McEldowney began writing and drawing the newspaper comic strip 9 Chickweed Lane. Nearly 30 years later, it's still going strong. For some dumb reason, Brooke Dillman and Jeff Drake read the comic strip, even though it only makes them angry. This is their podcast, certainly one of the worst ideas for a podcast ever: a podcast about a newspaper comic strip that (as far as they know) no one reads. This is 9 CHICKWEED RAGE.

045: I'll Supply The Other Finger

Sep 29, 2025 1h 36m

So our journey this episode takes us to a recital, where Amos and Edda get a less than glowing review from a critic. They are SO BAD at taking any amount of criticism that they go onstage the next…

044: All Mandibles Glaring!

Aug 19, 2025 1h 55m

For this episode, we spend basically all of our time in the water, a Mac-El-Dee classic! But we begin with Edda staring at her reflection in a mirror, because of COURSE that's what she's doing. Edda…

043: I Hear You'll Do Anything for a Box of Mild Duds

Jul 28, 2025 1h 33m

So sorry we've been away for so long. If it's any consolation, these strips punish us quite handily for our laziness. Boy do they ever! The white hot romance of Juliette and Elliott is explored a…

042: You Didn't Pass the Panty Round

May 30, 2025 2h 5m

After two and a half years of doing this podcast, Jeff has obviously lost his mind. He brings thirty -- THIRTY -- strips to discuss, all about the lead-up to Seth and Fernanda's wedding. And boy oh…

041: Welcome to the Sex Toilet, Matt Fraction!

Mar 16, 2025 2h 13m

Matt Fraction really should be writing the new Batman comic, but instead he made the mistake of wondering, "What exactly is this comic strip Jeff and Brooke are talking about?" It's a dangerous…

040: A Bellowing Stag in Rut

Feb 16, 2025 1h 56m

In the days leading up to the wedding of Amos and Edda, Edda tries to seduce her (mostly) gay roommate Seth. He rebuffs her, or does he? She's engaged to Amos, but she (at the very least) dry humps…

039: Would You Mind Spitting In My Mask?

Dec 24, 2024 1h 38m

Amos and Edda are in a body of water, so that of course means that it is unclear: a) what kind of body of water it is, b) how deep the water is, and c) if there are any other people around. Amos…

038: Producing A Hissing Sound While Your Bosom Swells

Sep 03, 2024 1h 22m

First of all, we recorded on Brooke Dillman's actual birthday. That was fun. To celebrate, we welcomed our first-ever guest Adam Grosswirth to the podcast. He tipped us off to the disgusting…

037: Contemplation of the Ladies' Edible Underwear Sale

Jul 30, 2024 1h 41m

We do our best to figure out where this stupid comic strip all allegedly takes place, but we get distracted. I mean, it's sort of what we do, right? Along the way, Juliette climbs over a couch that…

036: I've Never Seen So Many Binoculars

Jul 02, 2024 1h 30m

Somehow, we limit ourselves to only five strips this episode. Seems impossible, but we actually did it. Brooke (Dillman) found a short run on one topic that, while only five-strips in length, carried…

035: 45 Tablespoons Northeast of Surly

Jun 06, 2024 1h 30m

As it turns out, Juliette is a professor. But she's more than that, she's also a total asshole. She treats the new Visiting Assistant Professor -- or Vizassprof -- horribly, all for our…

034: The Wormhole Is a Franchise

Mar 02, 2024 1h 35m

For some reason, Edda or Amos (here sometimes referred to as Edna and Otis) has gone through a wormhole and now Polly and Lolly are older. How much older? Well, we think The Master intended them to…

033: I'm Surveying You For Alternative Kiss Sites

Jan 29, 2024 1h 14m

What better way to start the new year than to take a look at the first Chickweed Lanes of 2024? Well, I guess it might be better to NOT look at them at all. But that's really not on the table for us,…

032: You Sneezed All Over Julius Caesar Dithers

Dec 28, 2023 1h 44m

After becoming convinced that Brooke Mac-El-Dee himself is listening to this podcast, we take a deep dive into his poor history with the ellipsis (and other punctuation). You see, in one strip, he…

031: Like Hookers Short on Crazy Money

Nov 20, 2023 1h 41m

It's the big day for Xiulan Ha'Penny Yuan and Hugh Portwhistle Godalming. For some reason, Xiulan has chosen Edda to be one of her two bridesmaids, because of course and why not? Look, Edda is a…
