Curio Podcast

This episode we are joined by Cassie's sister Kelli. The three of us have been friends for a long time, and love to laugh together. Listen as we tell drunken stories of old, a chihuahua pukes, and we talk about trombone neck tattoos. Oh, and singing.

"Oh God. I think I'm too high for this." - Kelli

Or Stupid Dumb People DriveTime Edition.

Picking people up from LAX airport can be a daunting adventure. Having a friend along for the ride can smooth out the roughness. We chat about the state of affairs in our country, traveling, driving the freeways, and more.

Being human has its perks like imagination and using tools. Being able to anticipate things helps us be prepared, but sometimes can cause anxiety. Kim and Cass talk about some very personal anticipatory gems and have a word-off. Music courtesy of Altadena Hotel.

Critiques of generally thoughtless behaviors. We cover mouth sounds, driving annoyances, rudeness and assless chaps. Join us as we drive slow in the fast lane and forget to use our blinkers!

After the purchase of a titanium spork and a trip to Walden Pond we contemplate the idea of stuff and our relationship to things. We also talk about transcendentalism, meditation, politics (vote!), and travel. Ziggy growls, singing emerges, and a reading by our friend Kaya.

We are joined this week by Quinn, and then Doug to explore the creative process. We explore confidence, the creative spark, and collaboration. A tiny bit of singing, Ziggy growls, Kim goes by snickerdoodle, Cass laughs too loud, and the universe cracked open. All music courtesy of Quinn.

We are joined by our guests Nancy and Cat to talk about the rage women are feeling in the current climate. Between #metoo and #whyIdidntreport, anyone who has experienced sexual violence has been forced to think about it all over again. Let's listen to each other, and #believesurvivors

Cass and Kim are joined by Nancy and Cat to discuss the idea of legacy. What do we pass on to society, and do we have a responsibility to do so? Ancestry, weaving, spinning, and making things are mulled over. We had so much fun with Cat and Nancy. Thanks for coming on the show!

Our friend Beck joins us to talk about some of our favorite songs. We discuss each other's picks and defend our own choices. This was way harder than we thought it would be! Silliness happens, way less singing than there should have been, and lots of laughing between these old friends. You can follow along with our picks on our Apple Music and Spotify playlists, both called Curio Podcast favorites.

An update on the immigrant children crisis. At the time of recording, we had no idea that the government has almost 13,000 children in detention. The Trump administration is now trying to quietly expand the program, making tent cities larger, and making their inhumane policies law. The cruelty cannot continue.

Recorded on 9/11/18, we talk about our memories of 9/11 and the impact on our lives.
