Dear Pod,

Have you look outside lately? The weather can't make up it's mind and neither could we. So, this week we're throwing a GRAB BAG your way. The menu is full. We're talking exotic foods, massage parlors, postcards and a visit from Moth. Pour yourself a Shasta, listen to us in you car and try not to fall asleep.

Time to put the month of romance behind us with the memory of LOVE LOST. How do you really feel about that new beau of yours. Do you stay or do you find another partner for a trail six month run? Apparently, there are no rules. Just like this week's episode of knowledge and wonder.

The month of "Love" continues on. This week, we complicate matters by throwing in a steamy LOVE AFFAIR that will make you sweat with excitement and fearful that you're going to get caught. So, put on those dark sunglasses, check-in to that seedy motel and turn on your lover on to a new episode of DEAR POD!

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. One. Two. Three. Four. Just Four. Today we are reaching deep into our Hope Chests and finding all of our hidden LOVE LETTERS. Join us, won't you, as we take another attempt at our month of Love Themed topics and see how long you'll last until the sugary sweetness is so intense, your back molars just fall out. Happy Valentine's Days Everyone!

Lots of things to LOVE during this episode. To start with, how about priests not letting you sing Love Songs in church? No? What do you think of a couple who met at a casino nearly sixty years ago and they are going back for their anniversary? Still nothing? Oh, have I mentioned that Erin just had her first colonoscopy and it was epic? Yeah. I knew that would get your attention. Enjoy!

Fire up those VCR's and grab your Jane Fonda tapes, because this week we are EXERCISING! It's the new craze. Haven't you heard? The New York Times Best Seller List actually has three books on it that's all about exercise. What is this crazy world we are living in? I betcha the next new craze would be TV cameras following people in their daily lives. I know. That would be ridiculous!

GUEST ALERT!!! Let's all meet in Downward Dog as we remove all the saturated fats during this HEATH & WELLNESS episode. Board Certified Health Coach and Author, TARA ROSCIOLI, shows us just how easy one homemade honey syrup can make our cocktails tastier and (dare I say) healthier than ever. In the meantime, can someone please help me up? Somewhere between the Cat and Cow pose my back went out.

In an era that has been penned as "The Great Resignation", we at Dear Pod offer you NEW JOBS/NEW BEGINNINGS. Is your office manager giving you the side eye by the way you dress for work? Will your Dad treat you like Logan Roy treats his kids in the family business? Questions will be answered just as soon as you drop your resume with the gal at the front desk and we're done with this coffee break.

Screw Dry January. We're still in a pandemic and we're celebrating the new year by, no surprises here, DRINKING. Are you worried if your mother will have one too many cocktails at your upcoming wedding or that your Golden Retriever might be developing a drinking problem? Listen. There is no problem that we can't solve together if we sit down, be honest and face the issue head on.

Let's just have a drink first.

5...4...3...2...1...HAPPY NEW YEAR GRAB BAG! As we kick out the crap year that was 2021, we wait in the wings with judgement in our eyes to see how 2022 will perform. Will 2022 be all vocal riffs and tricks but with no real voice? Will the new year promise us fame and fortune but just turn out to be a deadbeat dad? Roll up your sleeve as we inject you with the healing booster of laughter and booze in this year ending episode of DEAR POD.
