S3 E13: Too Many Shoes in the Kitchen Feb 13, 2020

Show notes

This week, we're mixing it up a bit with a research topic from Casey! If you've listened to any episodes so far, you know that Casey cannot get a phrase right (Useless as a submarine door?) to save her life. This time, she's turning the submarine around and informing us all about the dark history of some common phrases.

S3 E11: The Story of Leche GaGa - "Break Some Stuff", Pt. 1 Jan 31, 2020

Show notes

This week we are joined by Ginny and her friend, Stephanie, for an episode from a completely different perspective. Stephanie is currently fighting cancer (or in her words: Cancer is fighting her). It's fair to say that she has one of the best attitudes we've encountered so far and it was a privilege to hear her story. Whether she's competing in a roller derby bout as "Leche GaGa" or giving the finger to the Grim Reaper, Stephanie does not let anything get her down. We can't even begin to describe the magic that happened while recording this episode-- it's better if you just listen.

Hope you enjoy this heartwarming ode to cats. Goodbye for meow.
