    Episode 19: Is This The End?

    Frat boys! The Weasley Twins! Ashlyn's 2024 'fails!' That time Austin got 'shipwrecked!' And our Ultimate 2024 Joy Reports! ABOUT EPISODE 19 This episode is all about endings. Sad endings. Funny endings. Awkward endings. Here at the end of another year, we’ve got all kinds of endings to talk about! Endings can be hard! They can be traumatic! They can be a relief! So, whether you’re nostalgic for days gone by or terrified of what the future holds (or maybe a bit of both!) - we hope this episode is a good reminder that every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end.

  2. Episode 18: The Marriage Bed

    Episode 18: The Marriage Bed

    Wedding night goth girl! Batman! Catwoman! A desperate craving for Jurassic Park! Can this really be marital bliss? ABOUT EPISODE 18 This episode is all about long term relationships: the real-life joys and sorrows of the give-and-take required to stay together day after day, and year after year. Sticking with anything for 1, 5, or 50 years takes a lot of hard work and focused attention. But, long term commitments also offer us unique opportunities for personal and shared growth as we navigate life with our partners. So, whether you’re in a long term partnership or not, we hope that this episode makes you laugh, makes you think, and inspires you to embrace the ongoing work of building lasting, meaningful relationships with those you love! SHOW CREDITS Friday Candy was created and hosted by Ashlyn and Austin Sailsbury. That’s Us! This episode features music by Kyle Cox, John Roseboro, and Cataldo. Our theme music is by Robyn Quin. As always, a special thanks to Chad Snavely of Sound On Studios for his help with the audio production.

    Episode 17: Holly Jolly, Melancholy!

    Sleigh bells! Santa Claus! Cinnamon! And the blood of a thousand armadillos! This episode is all about thriving - and not just surviving - this holiday season. ABOUT EPISODE 17: Holly Jolly, Melancholy! For a lot of people, the holidays can be A LOT. This part of the year can be a complicated cocktail of nostalgia and change, where expectations and traditions often clash. Stir in a bit of family drama, a dash of seasonal depression, and a sprinkle or two of winter travel delays…and you’ve got a recipe for holiday burnout.  But no matter how you’re feeling about the holidays this year, Friday Candy the Podcast is here to swat the humbugs away and help you thrive during this special season! SHOW CREDITS Friday Candy was created and hosted by Ashlyn and Austin Sailsbury. That’s Us! This episode features festive holiday music by our friends Arlo and Joseph Bradshaw, Casey Chambers, Nikki Lane, and The Silver Fleece.  Our theme music is by Robyn Quin.

  4. Episode 16: Highway to the Comfort Zone

    11/22/2024

    Episode 16: Highway to the Comfort Zone

    Hammama trauma! Harry Styles! Helicopters! How to shower! And the life-changing art of Japanese Misogi! Episode 16 is all about getting as comfy as possible…but also, it’s about stepping out of our comfort zones! One of the scariest and most fun things about stepping out of your comfort zone is that you never really know what’s going to happen: you might discover a new hobby, you might score a new job, you might even meet your spouse! Ultimately, that’s what it means to step from the known into the unknown - you’re trying something new, taking a chance, and that always involves a bit of risk - you just never know what is going to happen and that’s okay! Oftentimes, stepping out of your safe little bubble is terrifying, it’s true. But it can also be thrilling and super valuable in your own journey of discovery and growth! CREDITS Friday Candy was created and hosted by Ashlyn and Austin Sailsbury. That’s Us! This episode features music by J⁠ohn Roseboro⁠, ⁠Museo⁠, Franc Castillejos, and ⁠Bryan Simpson⁠. Our theme music is by ⁠Robyn Quin⁠.

    Episode 15: Girlz Gone Wild

    Greek goddesses! Croatian cuties! Volleyball vixens! Dancing Queen! Cyndi Lauper! And the legendary axe-woman Paulette Bunyan! This episode is all about friendship! These special relationships can come in a million shapes and sizes: best friends, work friends, school friends, chatty neighbors, and casual acquaintances! But all friendships are valuable - they help to fight off loneliness and enrich our lives with companionship, hope, balance, and, hopefully, much joy and laughter! From the Swiss alps to the Moroccan desert and from suburban sleepovers to frozen football games, Episode 15 is a celebration of the many wonders of friendship in all its forms - from boyz being boyz to girls going wild!

  6. Episode 14: Scaredy-Cats

    10/25/2024

    Episode 14: Scaredy-Cats

    Sewer snakes! Sinkholes! Social Anxiety! Episode 14 of Friday Candy the Podcast is all about fear! No question about it, there is a lot of scary stuff out there in the world! And on today’s show, we are wandering into the deep dark forest of the sub-conscious to try and discover the sources of our fears, the strange and ridiculous ways in which they manifest in everyday life, and how we might confront and conquer the monsters that scare us!  Fear is really a fascinating thing. It can truly come in so many forms - both rational and irrational. It starts in our minds, but it can also overtake our bodies. Fear can stop us from taking risks but it can also help to spike the adrenaline that we need to run away from a mountain lion. At times, fear can save your life…but it can also stop you from living your life. Episode Credits Friday Candy was created and hosted by Ashlyn and Austin Sailsbury. That’s Us! This episode features music by Dark Canyon and Bryan Simpson. Our theme music is by Robyn Quin. As always, a special thanks to Chad Snavely of Sound On Studios for his help with the audio production.

    Episode 13: Unsolved Mysteries

    UFOs! Full moons! The Bermuda Triangle! The lost tomb of Alexander the Great! Rabbit holes! Black holes! And the (almost nearly) true story of the mysterious Disappearance of Lisa D! I think we can all agree, life is full of mysteries - they’re everywhere! From Easter Island to the Bermuda triangle, from the Ghost ship Mary Celeste to the Lost Colony of Roanoke - there are just so many strange and unexplained things out in our world. Episode 13 of Friday Candy the Podcast is all about exploring the unknown! From the nagging little curiosities of everyday life to the greatest unsolved mysteries of human history, today’s show is a celebration of curiosity, imagination, and wonder! As we lean into the shorter days and longer nights of the Autumn season, the leaves are changing, the winds are blowing, and - for some reason - we are suddenly reminded that we like spooky stories (spooky not scary!) full of magic, mischief, and mystery!

We talk a lot about living abroad and traveling around Europe on this show, but this episode is all about America, baby! And since we just spent the summer with friends and family back home, we decided it was time to celebrate what we love most about the good ol’ U S A; from Carolina barbecue to the California redwoods, there is so much about America that we appreciate and enjoy. The landscapes, the stories, the food, and most of all, the people! SHOW NOTES Friday Candy was created and hosted by Ashlyn and Austin Sailsbury. That’s Us!

HURRICANE RESPONSE In light of recent events, we're encouraging listeners this week to support the relief efforts of the American Red Cross by visiting redcross.org! Hurricanes Helene and Milton have recently caused massive amounts of damage in the American South and along the Eastern seaboard. And right now, many communities are suffering in the wake of these destructive storms. Luckily, no matter where you live in the world, you can help to make a positive impact as individuals and families in the affected areas work to rebuild. I hope you will consider joining Austin and I in supporting the American Red Cross. You can visit redcross.org today to learn more about the heroic work happening on the ground in places like Asheville, North Carolina. Donating online is quick and easy and it really does make a positive difference.
