Bemused Podcast

Yes, that's right, it's an episode all about our favorite four legged companions. No, not squirrels, DOGS!! So many dogs! All of the dogs. I am joined by a new Shannon (not therapist Shannon) to talk about what to when thinking about getting a dog. Shannon is a dog trainer and an all around puppy expert. She is so into dogs that she even has an entire podcast dedicated to out canine companions. So enjoy today's episode, even if you are more of a Cat person.

Our month long salute to all things Theater continues, but don't worry, if you aren't a theater person we will have a brand new episode all about PUPPIES this Thursday. We are going to change up the way episodes are released, which I explain in the intro. Today's episode I am joined by yet another brilliant director friend Dave Hanson. Dave and I discuss local Utah theater, the stuff we love, the stuff that we want to see more of, and of course, Dave is going to give us his top tips and recommendations for getting the part! Enjoy and Happy Auditions everyone!

Calling all theater people! This episode for you. Come on, you all knew this was coming. I'm a theater kid and I can no longer not do an episode (or several) about the wild, wacky, and often soul crushing world of live theater. I am joined by my friend and fellow theater kid Josh Richardson as we discuss audition do's and don'ts. What is going to get you to stand out, and what is going to sink you faster than a production of Titanic. If you are in theater, have kids who want to do theater, or just want to take a peak behind the curtain, this is the episode for you.  Enjoy!

Today we have Therapist Shannon (LMFT) in studio to talk about Intuitive Eating. What is intuitive eating you might ask? Well it goes far beyond counting calories and fat grams and macros and micros, and in fact, you might be a little bit shocked by what we have to say about diets in general. We also hit upon body image, beauty standards, and whether or not you should retire your scale forever. Hope you enjoy!

Sorry for the delay folks. I had an out of town job that proved more tricky than anticipated, but hey, to make it up to you I'm posting part one of my discussion with Lawyer Andrew (Esquire Heywire) today and then you get part two tomorrow! Hooray! Today I blindside Andrew with the most Googled dating questions (maybe). Adult themes and language throughout so please, use your best listening discretion. 

And YOU get a boundary!! And YOU get a boundary!!! Boundaries for EVERYONE!!!!! Personal boundaries that is. We are not talking about politics and walls, we are talking about the boundaries we set (and sometimes fail to set) in our own lives. Let's be honest, setting healthy boundaries can be hard, which is why I have Shannon (LMFT) back in studio to talk about why boundaries are important, why we often fail to set them, and what are the real world consequence when we don't.....and do!

We are joined today by Levi, but we aren't talking about Autism, though it does get a little wink and a nod. Today we are talking about Narcissism, personality disorders, and where they might stem from. We also get into childhood trauma and some other heavy topics.

 We have Lawyer Andrew (Esquire Heywire) back in studio to talk about the Justice System and hit on a couple of hot button topics. We discuss sexual assault, the Josh Powell case, and touch a little bit on the juvenile court system as it exists in Utah. We delve a bit into the day to day life of a public defender, and Andrew gives some insight into why sometimes the justice system may not seem all that just.

As always, listener discretion is advised.
