Barbara says just do it. Today we are talking about Wishcraft: How to Get What You Really Want, A Unique Step-By-Step Plan to Pinpoint Your Goals and Make Your Dreams Come True by Barbara Sher with Annie Gottlier. This book is all about living out your childhood dreams and going to a library to do research. Besides being outdated af, it has some solid advice for actually making yourself do what you always dreamed of doing, even if it is being a vet with a pet allergy or a rockstar with terrible stage fright. 

If your childhood dream was to be a writer then get to writing and send us your short stories to [email protected]

Sylvia might be a fraud but she has some decent advice. Today we talk about "Blessings from the Other Side: Wisdom and Comfort from the Afterlife for this Life" by Sylvia Browne. Of course, no talk about the afterlife is complete without libraries, the sims, and the location of the North Pole so stay tuned for all the answers of the universe.

On today's mini Syd tells us about the author, motivational speaker, and podcast host Malcolm Gladwell (aka the fastest teen in Canada at one point). We go over his books and why he is kind of to blame for the NYPD using stop & frisk. So listen up for some racial profiling.

On today's story time Sydney tells us some scary stories from a dimly lit room about a dead man, a skeleton stalker and a witch riding a horse. Delaney has the least disturbing story from Chuck Palahniuk's "Make Something Up Stories You Can't Unread" that is about a tennis ball who really is just trying to help his wife keep her house. Let us know if you wanna hear the story about corn cob dick, it will make you sick.

Grab a bowl of popcorn and a cozy blanket because we are watching movies based on books and judging. Today we talk about the 1995 classic, Clueless, based on Emma by Jane Austen. While almost all the names are changed and the plot was updated for teens in the 90s, it is a pretty good adaptation and just a great movie all around. Young Paul Rudd is 10/10.

Today we talk about Winter Solstice by Rosamund Pilcher which has nothing to do with Winter Solstice. Listen to hear how a nice love story is really about murder and adultery. Sydney says she's not gonna talk about bathrooms again but she does, and Delaney goes off about bog bodies for no reason. It’s an episode with something for everyone!
