Ep 203 - If I Had a (Reasonably Priced) Hammer… May 31, 2022

Show notes

Comedy is a shaky business, so could Paula shore up her career with some metaphorical 2x4s and some good carpenter nails? We mean: Could she run a hardware store? Aaron Lutz from Lutz Hardware joins us to measure Paula’s mettle for our Career Corner. Plus, in Toni’s absence, is it a good idea to have Bonnie go it solo and give us an Oral Report on our potential new listener base in New Zealand? You’re about to find out!

If you can’t tell fantasy from reality, you’re either a)psychotic, or b)a typically confused modern media consumer. What’s real and what’s not out there? How can we tell? Peter Adams from the News Literacy Project is here to help us sort the facts from the merely fact-flavored. Plus: Aw, gosh, stop it, we’re blushing… it’s Mailbag! Flattery Edition.

Ep 200 - Right Here, Right Meow May 10, 2022

Show notes

Last week we explored the incredible talents of dogs. This week we give equal time to explore the question: Do cats HAVE any talents? And if so, can they be persuaded to, you know, use them? For good? Can Paula’s cats be taught to think INSIDE the box? Mikel Delgado helps us get inside the feline mind! Also, in our quest to find new listeners, we’re heading to Antarctica. For some reason. It’s Toni and Bonnie’s Oral Report.
