Local events, Aldi finds, mom life, and whatever else spirals into the conversation. This podcast is part community bulletin, part group text, part therapy session—covering what’s happening around town, what’s happening in real life, and what’s just not that deep (but we’re talking about it anyway). Snarky, chaotic, and always honest—come for the info, stay for the commentary.

If there's somethin' strange in your neighborhood...

Hail Mary's & Higher-Flying Drama

This week we're unpacking the celebrity headlines that have us looking skyward, getting into the latest football news, and catching you up on what's happening around Simi Valley. Plus, we're talking Halloween happenings, the Battle of the Bungalows, local events worth leaving the house for, and this week's Aldi Finds—because apparently our homes need more seasonal decor and we have absolutely no self-control in the Aisle of Shame. It's local news, celebrity chaos, football feelings, and midlife mom life, all served with a side of unsolicited commentary. 🎧 Hit play and join us. We've got a lot to cover, and at least some of it is probably going off the rails.

We Don't Want The Funk

This week on Now Ya Simi, after catching you up on my busy weekend, we get into some serious local news: Newly released bodycam footage from the July police pursuit and officer-involved shooting, plus the answer to the question some Simi residents have been asking lately: Why does it smell like that?! I’m also talking about local ways to remember the 25th anniversary of 9/11, the Simi Film Fest, the surprisingly fascinating history of Corriganville, and, of course, the Aldi Aisle of Shame. Come hang out with me!
