Reading is hard

Getting a home run against childhood neurodivergence

Kristyn calls in with the DWTS season 35 cast

We're all mourning King Harald V, obviously. But we have to learn, as a species, to move past it. What better way than to play "Who have I heard of?" with the cast of Dan

Legendary moments of TBP yore, plus sewage

You might have heard us talk about Tom's "Sporty Spice" incident long ago. This week, we found it. Enjoy us enjoying our own content for a while, before we talk at length

Finding missing children, and a decent meal kit

Nobody likes it when a child goes missing. Luckily, they're starting to do something about that, apparently. At least in Florida, anyway. Not quite as tragic as a missing

Radio stations used to do a lot of drug testing

You've probably heard that radio was a much wilder place back in the 80s and 90s. Pretty much every story you've heard is true. What you haven't heard is a news station t

Age is just a number, much like 2197

Ephraim Herschmann comes together at the last second

We couldn't find a guest for this show. At least, not until about ten minutes prior. Ephraim swooped in to save the day with very short notice. It's a good thing, too, be

The latest victim of the grim reaper's sprint is Peter Cullen, most famously the voice of Optimus Prime and Eeyore. Will this never end? We're not sure, which is why we g

Coyote vs. Acme vs. Distributors

Today's show is a double header. First you get hairstyling and grooming tips, then we talk about Coyote vs. Acme for nearly a half an hour. It's a movie that apparently a

Today's podcast goes round and round

Dolly Parton and Tim Curry die on the same day

August 25th is a day that will go down in infamy. No, not because that's the day Zimbabwe joined the UN, although that's very important as well. We lost two beloved icons

How picky do picky eaters get?

We've all known picky eaters. Perhaps we are one ourselves. Not wanting to eat an "Oreo chicken burger" isn't so much being picky as self-preservation. But kids seem to b

Costaki returns from the homeland, and also Alaska

Football season is upon us, which means Costaki is back. It also means news from Alaska and Greece. And jokes. Gotta have jokes. Topics: Taking very young kids to Disne

In which we wrestle with pronouns

Jack Hicks is back for what is likely to be a weekly appearance. Unless, of course, he gets cancelled for saying the wrong thing. Maybe it would be better if we stuck wit
