A Walk in the Park

Hello A Walk in the Park Podcast listeners! In this episode Babs explains some things that are Currently on Her Mind, that she is Currently Consuming and a couple of Life Shares (aka the Season Six Segments). And we once again have MB back for MB’s Corner! Please listen and enjoy.

Thanks to Delta travel delays, this podcast episode is a Babs Mini-sode. If you enjoy hearing Babs talk about the climate crisis and what she is doing about it, want to hear her thoughts on the recent Chinese spy balloon situation or on Michelle Obama’s new book - The Light We Carry, some Super Bowl musings, and other things happening in her life, then please listen and enjoy!

In this episode Ris and Babs discuss the current debt ceiling crisis and the one trillion platinum coin, climate fiction (Goodbye, Florida!), Facebook memories, college decisions, crazy work drama, and yes, sports! Tom Brady retired for the second (and probably last) time and Novak Djokovic won the Australian Open! It’s always an eclectic list of topics because that’s how we roll. Hurrah!

We’ve been doing this podcast for a fair amount of time at this point and have reached our official 100th episode! In honor of this accomplishment, we are trying to change up our format with some newly introduced segments to give our podcast more consistency on what you, the listener, can expect. The segments are: “Currently on Our Minds”; “Currently Consuming”; “Life Shares”; and of course, “Sports.”

In this episode Ris and Babs discuss Climate Change, standards of care in the medical community, TV shows, books, and family travels to Argentina (Babs) and Italy (Ris). We talked for so long that we didn’t even get to that much sports talk!

We suspect that no one has really missed us BUT as this is our 99th episode (not including “Pre-Season episodes back at the beginning in 2018), we are making a pledge to up our game for the next and official 100th episode! (With the long-term goals of higher quality recordings, more consistency and a regular and engaged audience.)

For now, in this episode, Ris, Babs, and MB cover Hurricane Ian, sports (including Major League Pickleball expansion - Would Gronk be good at pickleball?) , upcoming travel and the holiday season. It’s always an eclectic group of topics because that’s how we roll.

We are busy people in the summer, and it is challenging to sync up our schedules. But Ris and Babs did go on their annual girl’s beach trip. On the roads of Alabummer, they weave their way through the local, national, and international, worrying about the vineyards in France, waxing philosophical about civilization and discomfort, and reminiscing about the beginnings of the Seaside Sisters.

In this episode, Ris, Babs, and MB bounce around from summer air travel woes to the Supreme Court and other current events, including of course, Wimbledon — and what IS the beef between Nick Kyrgios and Stefanos Tsitsipas? Throw in the CIA and Chief of Disguise talk and we have ourselves an episode!

Please listen and enjoy!

This is a very special episode because Ris and Babs were podcasting in person! Ris came to visit Babs and enjoy the pool and the palm trees and partaking in pickle ball, pickle purchasing and more! And now you know - Ris and Babs love pickles and uh, so did Jesus! Please listen and enjoy!

You will have to do a deep listen to understand the name of this episode. As usual, Ris and Babs discuss the wide world of sports (specifically tennis and the NFL) along with important life updates involving unicorns and seeing one another in person. Sprinkle in a bit of movie talk and the ongoing state of our economy, along with MB’s Corner, and you have a mega episode! You don’t have to listen to it all in one go, but when you do listen, please enjoy!

In this episode, Ris, Babs, and MB cover the “T’s”: Twitter, Tennis, the Tom (Brady, that is) and the usual life stuff: family, school, and the like (e.g., Bottoms booted for her bottoms). Please listen and enjoy!
