51 – Under The Sea (Marine Life with Thomas Burton & Chris Chambers) Apr 09, 2020

Show notes

This week, Liz and Melody are diving into the ocean deep with aquarium expert Thomas Burton and marine biologist (and Melody’s husband and sometimes cohost) Chris Chambers. The boys give us the lowdown on many marine creatures: electric eels, deep sea isopods, giant squid, octopi, what Melody calls a "Puppy Dog Fish" and the fascinating and prehistoric coelacanth, just to name a few. We also go deep in the Marianas Trench and discuss the coral reef and how people are working to save it. Thomas and Chris answer the burning question, "Is a coral's mouth the same as its butt?" And so much more! We are supported by Just The Tip Handpoke Tattoos. Check 'em out!

COVID Classics – 15 – Cubs On The Loose (Kids w/ Isla, Leon & Penny) Mar 26, 2020

Show notes

Here we all are, in self isolation, many of us with our kids. And because of this, we took these last couple of weeks off from podcasting, which means, it's time for a COVID Classic! We present to you, Cubs On The Loose, featuring some of our very favourite kids, talking about kid stuff! We've made this one kid-friendly, so you can listen together, although BEWARE - the topic of sex does come up in the podcast. Also, we are sponsored by Just The Tip Handpoke Tattoos. There is an ad upfront, and although it may seem obvious, maybe it's not: we don't endorse children getting tattoos. We do however endorse Sarah's Just The Tips on COVID-19 2020 Fashion in our fresh intro. Enjoy!!

Let's talk about Mormons! Melody's bud from work Megan Lefebvre joins her in this chat with ex-Mormon and ex-Utahn Stephanie McGee. We start out with a quick primer on Mormonism and the American Jesus. Steph tells us about her upbringing and how her Mormon "shelf" came crashing down. We cover Joseph Smith's death mask, different levels of Hell, coffee as a gateway drug, Mormon underwear, performance reviews, the teachings of South Park and much, much more. There's also a super fun Mormon Quiz!

Happy New Year, Tigers! May we all put the teens behind us and forge ahead victorious into the Roaring Twenty-Twenties.

44 – My Daddy Is A Ballerina (1960s NYC w/ Justin Starkweather) Dec 19, 2019

Show notes

This is a special holiday episode, featuring a very special man in Melody's life: her dad Justin. Justin Starkweather (formerly John) worked in New York City in the late 50s to early 60s as a dancer, actor, film editor, puppeteer and stage-manager. He was a member of the original Camelot lineup on Broadway, with Julie Andrews and Richard Burton, and also rubbed elbows with many other successful performers. In this episode, he paints us a picture of a very different life and time. He tells us about some of his more famous connections, his legendary $60/month apartments, numerous burglaries, scary run-ins, his full dating calendar and his absolute love of dance. Hop on board the Justin train and come with us to 1960s NYC!
