A Walk in the Park

Hello A Walk in the Park podcast listeners. Here is another Babs Mini-sode where she struggles with the meaning of life (a classic mid-life crisis, perhaps) and cheers herself up with sharing her love of Scientfic American. This mini-sode launches from ennui and existential angst to psychedelic toad venom to critical race theory, the right-to-repair movement, and more. Please listen and enjoy!

Hello, A Walk in the Park podcast listeners. Welcome to our longest episode ever. What can we say? Many things are afoot in this crazy wide world of ours: Tennis (always), Tom Brady (unreal), The NFL (all over the place), Wine (yum!), Ukraine ($%*!@$ Putin!), Gas prices (perspective), the Oscars (episode recorded before The Slap Heard Round the World). You don’t have to listen all in one sitting, but when you do listen, please enjoy!

Babs here for another Mini-sode. She rants about February 2022, laments over the war in Ukraine (partially in song), highlights some Opinion pieces on Russia, and closes out the mini-sode with a story for her family’s story archive (spoiler: it involves an alligator!)

In this episode, Ris and Babs talk about life and travel, reliving the infamous Chiringa Frose before diving into world events from the truly awful - Putin’s invasion of Ukraine - to ongoing bummers - Novak Djokovic’s tennis status. And in MB’s Corner, we catch up on college, spring break plans, tennis, Tom Brady, the Winter Olympics, and other entertainment. Please listen and enjoy!

Hello, A Walk in the Park podcast listeners! In this episode, Ris and Babs are together again in-person regaling you with talk of booze and food and beauty and battles!
