A husband and wife talk about family and pop culture. What’s the meaning of “family”? How do you even spell it? Is it wrong we watch more cartoons than our kids? Why do we put out feeders for birds but not squirrels (not even Flying Squirrels?) Do we watch mobster movies just for the murders? Do people really need a rhyme to remember how many days are in a month? Is Whomping Willow in Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter? Oh, and why did our ceiling collapse? Plus, Life Hacks, Southern Paula, Pappy the C-PAP Machine, Top 10 Lists, Painful Memories, Future News & More.

Disarming yet sly

I have enjoyed every episode of this podcast. Most recently, the piece on volunteering really got me smiling and thinking. Chris and Paula’s observations are delightfully homey, and their humor is gently self-deprecating. Good medicine on any tough day.

Hanging with friends

Listening to Chris and Paula feels like hanging out with friends - just talking about whatever comes to mind. There are many times when I wish I was able to jump in and add my 2 cents. The perfect distraction from the stresses of daily life.

Sound of Home

First off, opening music is so fun and gives nostalgic Saturday morning cartoon vibes. Love the realness, honesty, and hilarity. Reminds me of my family and I am here for it!
