Teach Me Tiger

Oh, hi there. Welcome to Teach Me Tiger, a semi-educational chatcast that's gritty, honest, irreverent and generally a little silly. Meet Melody and some of her closest friends (and rotating cohosts Liz, Sarah, Chris and Nikki.) Teach Me Tiger explores new topics in conversation with these old pals and their smartest, most experty and/or enthusiastic buds. Airs every third Thursday.

    72 – Any Mummers Allowed In? (Newfoundland and Labrador w/ Gina Gill)

    Join returning cohost Sarah Wright and Melody Starkweather with the ever clever, funny and lovely real-life Newfoundlander Gina Gill as they venture onto the Rock. We cover all kinds (best kind!) - Newfoundland and Labrador accents, culture, heritage, literature, food, music, art, anxieties and true island love. Gina also tells us about her online Newfoundland culture magazine, Tint of Ink. Check it out! As promised, here are Gina's recommendations for contemporary Newfoundland and Labrador authors: Michael Crummy, Lisa Moore, Wayne Johnston, Michael Winter, Eva Crocker, Donna Morrissey, Joel Hynes, Mark Critch and Megan Coles. Note from Melody: as I am the host and "audio engineer" of this show, I was so focused on making Sarah and Gina sound good, I neglected to properly monitor my own levels. Sorry! Fixed it as best I could, but I am admittedly a little rusty after my big long hiatus. That being said, if you all contribute to the show's Patreon, maybe I could afford a real audio engineer!? Can't blame a girl for trying, anyway! ;)

    71 – I Camembert It Anymore (Cheese with Scott Starkweather)

    Slide into the melty world of cheese with Melody and her sweet baby brother and seriously silly chef Scott Starkweather. It's a cozy fam jam kind of time as these two Starkweathers discuss the Montreal Cheese Mafia, Swiss Cheese Cartel, human cultures, catacomb cheese, cheddar addiction, cheese theft and more!

    70 – It’s A Match! (Dating Takeaways with Clare Anderson)

    Mel and Clare have been dating it up for the last few years and they think they might have learned a few things. Clare came on Episode 61 to set up her very first Tindie profile, and we are just thrilled to have her back to tell us how that all went! Join us for a fun and candid discussion on hard-earned lessons, dating Do's and Don'ts, wild stories, and more. So much more! This is our first episode back after a loooong hiatus, and we are excited to be here. The show will go to monthly releases going forward, as this is a hobby, y'all, and I'm very busy! 3

    69 – I WANT A D*CK (Oral Sex w/ Casey Easton)

    If you didn't consider the title of this episode disclaimer enough, consider yourself DISCLAIMED: this episode is about SEX and we kindly ask that children, prudes, exes and immediate family members steer clear of this one. Now, for the rest of you perverts, are you ever in for a treat! Melody and best bud/former cohost, Sarah Wright, are sitting down with Casey Easton of Erotic Embodiment for the Teach Me Tiger season finale to talk all things ORAL SEX and more! We cover cunnilingus and blowjobs, obvi...but also, we get balls-deep in deep throating, gag-prevention, communication for lubrication, 69ing, dating as a confident grown-ass woman, how to relax and enjoy oral, consent...and then! A real live dick shows up to the party and gives us the penile perspective. What a sexy show, what a hot finale!

    68 – So Why Do I Feel Like A Psychopath? (Attachment Theory w/ Viara Mileva)

    Viara Mileva, PhD is back, with our good buddy Liz Cooper, to unpack childhood attachment styles, and pontificate on how they affect us and our interpersonal relationships as adults. Viara is wearing her former academic hat (she works now as a photographer,) as she spent years in the lab studying how primary caregivers and small children interacted and bonded (or in some cases, how they didn't do those things.) We break down the different attachment styles, how they're formed, and what they mean. We discuss whether one can work around these labels, or even overcome them. We also get into the importance of taking these labels with a grain of salt, and recognizing the complex series of factors that go into any and all of our behaviours. Attachment styles are but a piece of the puzzle, but they're an important piece and we've all got them. Let's get vulnerable, baby! We do mention several books on the subject. If you'd like to delve deeper, we recommend these: Attached by Amir Levine and Rachel Heller, The Jealousy Cure by Robert Leahy and Paul Gilbert, and Wired For Dating by Stan Tatkin.

    67 – Stories With My Pa (w/ Justin Starkweather)

    Back by popular demand, it's Melody's father Justin - and just in time for Father's Day. He's been working on a list of tales yet untold, and he's here to share them with us all (ever lucky!) Justin has been interviewed in several previous episodes of Teach Me Tiger - Episode 44, My Daddy Is A Ballerina, Episode 55, Trying Different Things, and Episode 58, The Hippie Years - telling stories from his wildly eventful and interesting life. Justin felt he'd left some good ones out, so here we are! Let's all hope he remembers more tales that he must recant in another future episode. In this episode, we hear a bit about Justin's own father, debacles onstage, his libidinous pursuits, and more. He's charming as ever. Enjoy and Happy Fathers Day!

    Vintage Classic – 26 – Millennialitis (Self-Care w/ Kim Murphy)

    Originally aired February 28, 2019. Hustle, hustle, hustle, baby! Kim Murphy, the ultimate healing hustler, is here to help us simplify our highly saturated lives. How do we tune in, instead of tuning out? What do we really want? Where in our lives are we leaking energy? WHO ARE WE?? AND WHERE THE HELL AM I??? After a real fun game of Icebreakers, we dive deep into the Millennial-and perhaps Xennial-condition that we’ve dubbed Millennialitis. We talk about detecting, avoiding and dealing with BURNOUT. And Kim gives us some great advice on how to romance ourselves to up-level our energy, restore vitality and improve our overall mental health. You can find Sarah at instagram.com/justthetiphandpoketattoos  and Melody at melodystarkweather.ca. To support the show, go to patreon.com/teachmetigerpodcast. And of course, it always helps us if you rate and review us and, BEST OF ALL, TELL YOUR FRIENDS! Thank you so much.

    66 – Quarantine Ketchup (Pandemmie Check-In w/ Liz Cooper)

    Best friends make the best fun, and we've all missed the BEST FUN with former co-host of the show and Melody's longtime good buddy, ELIZABETH COOPER! (Insert airhorns here.) This episode is a bit of a departure, in that it's not educational in the slightest, but you know what?! It's a global pandemic, the world's on fire, and we're going rogue! In today's epi, we are reflecting on the last 13 months of pandemmie life - unexpected perks, phone addiction, pandemic-tainment, a mental health corner, personal growth, excessive alone time, and wild new hobbies. We also go through a few of Arthur Aron's '36 Questions To Fall In Love' and not only do we fall deeper in love, but we get real vulnerable and intimate. Oh, and funny! We get funny, too.
