    Ep. 34 The Solstice Is Nigh

    If four horsemen herald the apocalypse, who heralds the winter solstice? That’s right, it’s Florence and Diane. Armed with t-shirt cannons filled to the brim with confetti, hearts full of love, and eyes devoid of pupils, they’ve come knocking on your podcatcher to spread the joy of the solstice. Florence gives you a glimpse of what to expect during the solstice, they cuddle you by the yule log to lull you to sleep with a solstice tale, and Diane helps a listener get the best legal photos of the moon the world has ever seen. This is Paper News Out Loud.

    Ep. 30 Close Encounters with Mars and Meal Prepping

    Once upon a time, Mars loved Earth so much that they just couldn’t stay away any longer. They moved closer and closer until they gently crashed into the blue planet and destroyed all the life on it. Diane takes us on an intergalactic journey through the mind of Mars and why it is just so darn close. Then our podcasters help us pack and prepare for our trip to the Red Planet. And finally, Florence helps a listener who needs a little help packing lunch. This is Paper News Out Loud.

So great

This show is absolutely hilarious. An absolute blast, the hosts are delightful, the ad breaks are creative and funny, and the whole thing is just very very funny.

Required Listening

Diane and Florence bring me all the best, most relevant, and most accurate news. If you’re someone who is always on the go and is hyper-plugged in but not sure what news you’re looking for: this is required listening.

Gosh these ladies are funny!

I am so happy that I decided to check this show out! Diane and Florence are so dang funny. I think my favorite thing about this show is how they are able to deadpan some of the most absurd things so that I’m sitting there being like “yeah seems reasonab....WAIT WHAT?” And that is always a fun experience. Listen to this. Binge it. Make it a part of your life. FOREVER.
