The Basement Yard
Experience.

In October 2024 Joe Santagato and Frank Alvarez took the podcast to Radio City Music Hall as The Basement Yard Experience. Three designs carry that live-show look: chrome letters over a champagne-and-tuxedos collage, a painted half-and-half face on a sunburst, and a Radio City keepsake with both show dates on the back. Printed to order on tees, long sleeves, crewnecks and hoodies.

  • Experience Tuxedos: chrome-gold letters over a champagne collage
  • Split Face: a painted half-and-half face on a sunburst
  • Radio City 2024: October 1st & 2nd printed on the back
