Lianna Holston Jan 06, 2022

Show notes

First episode of 2022! Jacki and Courtney bring in Lianna Holston, host of the inimitable podcast Tossed Popcorn, to dicuss what it is she has kept for much, much, much longer than she really should have. We do a deep dive into the world of Irish dancing, and why we've maybe been giving too much credit to Michael Flatley and not enough to Jean Butler. You'll just have to listen to the episode to find out how we even ended up there. You can find Lianna on instagram at @liannaholston.

Courtney and Jacki and joined by the lovely Danielle who has a bit of a collection growing. Sleep is so important to us and so are our heads.

Stuff We Lost Dec 16, 2021

Show notes

Courtney and Jacki basically forget they are being recorded for most of this conversation about things they have lost and can never replace. By listening to this episode you are gaining access to a typical phone call between two of the Closeteers. Don't worry though, Jacki isn't doing the dishes and hoping Courtney won''t mind.

The hilarious Sandra Akins joins Jacki and Courtney this week to get "grilled" about her love of hot dogs (see what we did there?). She takes us down memory lane to discuss some items she has kept that have proven foundational for her career in comedy. We also lament somes items we've let go of in the name love (AKA getting married and sharing space with a partner).
