  • Running with Cats.

    You know how I love to run and have a bunch of cats? Yeah, no, that's not me. That's Robin Savage. 

    She's a funny lady. 

    Besides the exercise and the pets, and taking care of her family, she also finds time to be a comedian. 

    Enjoy our silly conversation. 

    (Please note: no cats or geckos were harmed during the taping of this podcast)

  • Taya Gaines talks about conspiracy theories!

    I love having guests on my podcast.

    This week, my friend Taya Gaines stops by to teach me about some conspiracy theories she has been investigating.

    I'm open minded, but I am also a bit of a skeptic. 

    Does Taya convince me? 

    Listen and find out!

    This 3rd and final installment of our group podcast series features the Sketchy Television ensemble (Jyna Johnson, Daniel Aken and Robin Savage) chatting, eating, drinking, waiting and finally watching our Christmas Special as it aired Live on the Really Late Night Sketchfest 2022.

  • Last week was more than 7 days, podcasts I LOVE, & what are my fave ladies up to?

    On Wednesday, I thought it was Thursday, and by Friday, I was done. Last week was like a really bad roller coaster. It went upside down so many times, and I hate that. Where the fuck are my sunglasses? 

    Ya wanna know my current favorite podcasts? Well, I'm gonna tell ya!

    I have some actresses that I really adore, and a singer. You know who they are: Kate, Sandy, Kathryn and Amy. This week, I tell you what they're doing these days.

    This and so much more on the latest episode of Contrary Gardens!
