    From Rookie to Resident Alien: What We're Streaming

    From Rookie to Resident Alien: What We're Streaming

    Our favorite shows are back and we’re happily streaming again! With the actors and writers strikes behind us all, we'll tell you what's hooked our attention. There’s Nathan Fillion in The Rookie and unexpected depth in 9-1-1 Lone Star. There's the speculative genius of For All Mankind and the quirkiness of Will Trent. How we still find time to write and get to work on time, is anyone's guess.

    Review Rant: Stars, Frowny Faces, and Rotten Tomatos

    Review Rant: Stars, Frowny Faces, and Rotten Tomatos

    We’re back! With all the regularity of the BBC’s Doctor Who season schedule, we’re on the mic again. This week we’re poking fun at the ratings and review systems that are foisted on us every day. Who decided frowny faces should measure sadness? And are more of them a good or a bad thing? 
    On a personal note, Barbara shared her health challenges from COVID to cancer, with a side of surgery. Through it all, creativity became a lifeline, with flash fiction, a geek love ballad, and a newfound appreciation for Rush.
    Join us as we navigate the bizarre world of reviews, where every rating has a story, and every frowny face has its day.

    You're Not Going Anywhere With Those Tight Hips

    You're Not Going Anywhere With Those Tight Hips

    Barbara and Teja attempt to stretch their luck by testing their physical flexibility and mobility. While following along a virtual class, they try their best to manupulate their muscles and ligaments they didn't even know they had. Can they survive rotating their hips like pretzels and dialing their kneecaps like doorhandles? Maybe...

    Box Store Bounty: From Snacks to Massage

    This is not about finding the best deals on family-sized hand sanitizer or stockpiling frozen salmon. It's about a self-indulgent, one-hour experience in a box-store traveling exhibit of an immersive full-body massage chair.

bonjour_yall ,

Fun and thought provoking!

A casual conversation between two smart, funny, witty people. It feels like they are in your living room and just chatting about real life stuff. Gets me thinking about different points of view and shared experiences (I too have a teenager). A must listen for sure!
