Band Wives

In this week's Q & A Minisode, Chondra and Misha chat about distance in relationships, keeping things fresh, saying no to normalcy and a big resounding yes to Trader Joe's, messy bedrooms and being weird.

In this week's throwback episode from tour, Chondra and Misha talk shop with Chonny's Coheed band-wife-mate, the fantastic (and always soothing!) Abigail Stever...from her important and ongoing volunteer work (with both the Compeer Program and as a Rape Crisis Counselor in New York State) to an ever-growing laundry list of accomplishments in life, love and family. Join us for ABBA, wine in paper cups, the best damn Linzer Tarts on Earth, and a deep love for finding your road family + never letting go.

[Disclaimer: What do you get when you have two different dressing rooms in two different time zones with two microphones between three band wives, one loud sound check and ZERO sets of headphones? Pretty bad sound quality. But this one was too fun to scrap. Apologies in advance. Thanks for listening!]

In this week's Minisode, Chondra and Misha skip the Q & A and catch up instead. Directionless, meandering, topic-hopping, sweet + salty...basically your average evening phone call between besties! Beginning of the school year exhaustion to whether Simulation Theory just might be true, their weekly takeaways from favorite podcasts, the process of editing a novel--and in the wide world of Band Wife news, weighing in on the recent and unfortunate Adam Levine drama.

Chondra and Misha sit down with wonderfully talented musician and mama Tivoli Crescenzo to talk about joining her brother's high school drum line as a middle schooler, creating core memories with your kids, her best friend Casey and sibling (un)rivalry. Join the Wives as they ask a million questions about living life in the Rain Shadow of the Pacific Northwest and beg Tivoli to build them a treehouse village in her backyard. Between two tour buses in two different states and technological challenges, it's a wonder this episode happened at all--but it was worth the wait.

This week's Q & A Minisode has Chondra + Misha talking about mental health and their own strategies for handling stress, loneliness and heartache (that may or may not work for you.) Also what it feels like to release a novel, fostering pets and why it's important to check your kids' backpacks on the first day of school.

The Wives are back this week with lovely, sugary sweet special guest Crysta Barrett. Kick your (high) heels up and sit in as they chat about talking to animals, weigh in on the best countries to visit, the unexpected creative joys of living in a place you love--oh, and the wedding gown that almost caught on fire under Reel Big Fish's tour bus.

This week's Q & A Minisode has Chondra + Misha answering a BIG one--how to stop the green-eyed monster from effecting your relationships. There's also gab about favorite kid's jams, victorian mourning gowns and why time absolutely isn't real.

Chondra and Misha talk everything under the sun with with dazzlingly fun and wise Band Wife Lexie Rule--from her job as chief of staff for an AI technology company, to uprooting your life in a global pandemic and potential side hustles as the voice of the Pout Pout Fish.

The Wives answer your burning questions in a bi-weekly minisode. This week Chondra & Misha chat about committing to your decisions, passions versus hobbies, and why choice paralysis is your biggest enemy.
