Number 1: The Big Boo Cast, Episode 510
This past week, thanks to a trip to Michigan, I enjoyed a break from surface-of-the-sun temperatures, but the Shankles have had to deal with some severe summer weather in San Antonio. Melanie and I talk about both of those things in this episode, along with Mel's newfound interest in a previously unknown-to-her historical figure. We also discuss the fact that I discovered the cheeseburger of my life in Gallant, Alabama. On top of all that, I have many thoughts and feelings about a Netflix documentary I watched over the weekend, and it's Melanie's turn for Five Favorites. Hope y'all enjoy!

Number 3: The Big Boo Cast, Episode 508
On this week's episode Melanie and I are astounded by the bid day balloon art at the University of Arkansas, not to mention that Melanie teaches me some things about how to list clothes on Poshmark and she has approximately 48 TV show recommendations* since I am in a TV slump. *This is a slight exaggeration. I also rave a little bit about our latest Patreon book club book, and it's Melanie's turn for Five Favorites. Hope you enjoy!

Number 4: The Big Boo Cast, Episode 506
On this episode I give an update on post-surgery Lucy, Melanie relays the details of a Lionel Richie concert, and we speculate maybe way too much about what Lionel's health concerns might be. We also talk about Melanie and Caroline's great decorative achievements with a gallery wall. On top of that, we discuss a current frustration I have with Amazon, and it's Melanie's turn for Five Favorites. Hope you enjoy!

Number 5: The Big Boo Cast, Episode 507
This week Melanie and I are both awash in the most tender feelings about friendship, so Melanie shares all about her weekend at the lake with friends - and I share (part of) a poem, written back in the year of our Lord 1990, that Emma Kate recently discovered when she was cleaning out her parents' house. Also, Mel tells us about spending a day at the Hotel Emma pool with Caroline, we discuss that we're both in a rut with earrings, and it's my turn for Five Favorites. Enjoy, everybody!
