The Big Boo Cast Melanie Shankle & Sophie Hudson

This week Melanie and I recorded at EIGHT FORTY IN THE AM, and you will hear that in our voices - no doubt about it. We talk about Caroline's Aggie Ring Day, their time at the A&M baseball game, and the latest with my kitchen. 

We also discuss our live show wardrobe situation, and it's my turn for Five Favorites.

Enjoy, everybody!

My microphone wasn't on for the first part of this episode (I PROMISE WE CHECK THESE THINGS, but computers / robots / user error / etc.), but thankfully Melanie's Official Look-at-the-Eclipse Break gave me time to correct the situation. In addition to the eclipse, we talk about college baseball, Kristen Wiig's skin, and the women's basketball championship game.

We also discuss an encouraging, hopeful doctor's visit that Melanie recently experienced, and it's Mel's turn for Five Favorites.

Hope you enjoy!

This week Melanie and I ponder the never-ending nature of a kitchen clean-out, we celebrate (and, in my case, grieve) the latest college baseball developments, and we recap our very lovely Easter weekends. A fine time was had by all.

We also discuss the high-quality Southern accents in a TV show we've both been watching, and it's my turn for Five Favorites.

Enjoy, y'all!

This week Melanie has traveled to New Hampshire, we both traveled to the Land of Sports Pain, and we recap all of those literal and figurative trips in this episode (needless to say, the trip to New Hampshire was by far the most enjoyable). On top of that, I explain why we're tearing up my kitchen, and I share some very exciting oven news.

We also discuss some TV shows we're enjoying, we ponder the wonder of baby leaves, and it's Melanie's turn for Five Favorites.

It was a big weekend-o-sports for the Aggies and the Bulldogs, so naturally Melanie and I recap all the exciting developments before we catch up on the latest with the college kids (Caroline's spring break and Alex's 21st birthday). We also catch up on the latest with Kate, though admittedly we only know whatever TikTok has told us.

Plus, Melanie has found a show that she enjoys, and it's my turn for Five Favorites.

Hope you enjoy!

This week Melanie and I share some very exciting updates about my sore throat and her injured leg, so basically this is a medical podcast now. In addition to breaking science news, we talk about college baseball, Free People's declaration that it's microshorts season, and Melanie's big make-up / beauty product clean-out.

We also discuss the fact that this week marks Alex's 21st birthday, and it's Melanie's turn for Five Favorites.
