The Break Room

The Break Room is a weekly podcast dedicated to plumbing the depths of pop culture, hosted by Marc "The Bus" Hudson, Thomas "The Tank" and "Dirty Dirty" Dustin Taylor.

History
While producing the podcast Pickled Embryo in 2006, Marc decided to start another podcast, after having failed with an extremely short-lived in 2005. Inspired by Wasting Time at Work podcast, Marc wanted to talk about topics that you'd find yourself chatting about with co-workers: movies, TV, music, top 10 lists, personal lives, etc.

In February 2006 he recruited former co-host Dave Bush and Dustin Taylor and they recorded their first episode on March 4, 2006.

The show underwent a temporary name change in mid-2007, becoming Mediasharx with the intent of focusing more on movies, TV and music topics, but the show returned to the name The Break Room with episode 68 because they are unstable like that.

While it was intended as a permanent ending at the time, the show went on a long hiatus in July 2009 with episode 150, only reuiniting annually for a holiday special. However, the show returned in January 2013 with episode 151, with Thomas replacing Dave.
