Someone stole Dorothy’s iconic ruby red slippers from a museum in Grand Rapids, and the mysterious Hollywood shoe heist is now the subject of a new podcast docuseries, “No Place Like Home.” The shoes were missing for 13 years, and to find them means following a yellow brick road to all the reasons people continue to be obsessed with Oz, Dorothy, Judy Garland and the man behind the curtain. 

Easy Listening - Ep. 122 - The Ruby Slipper Heist

Are you listening to a podcast, as you search for a new podcast, because you’re obsessed with podcasts? This is the place for your ears. Gina Grad and Teresa Strasser (The Adam Carolla Show) celebrate and break down your favorite shows using audio clips and interviews to highlight the stuff that makes them burst out laughing, burst out crying and burst out into night sweats. (There's also a better than average chance that a clip they share will lead to a juicy reveal about themselves.) There are half a million podcasts in this world; G & T are here to help navigate with this weekly walk down podcast lane.

TV & Film

Comedy

Teresa and Gina both have new books out. Teresa went on the Adam Carolla Show to promote her new book, “Making It Home,” but it kind of sort of didn’t exactly come up. Gina picked Teresa up from the studio, and they had kabobs and discussed the swing and miss. They still love the Ace Man, despite his foibles. They discuss how Teresa’s book is now the top new baseball book in America, which is crazy, since it began as a few pages she read to this audience’s Patreon. Gina also recounts her awkward final appearance on Adam’s show, where they did, indeed, discuss her book MY EXTRA MOM. Yes, there’s self-promotional book talk all around, but it’s also an emotional, revealing and fun look behind the scenes.  

The Girls Give Big Updates

  Teresa and Gina get together to talk about the latest changes to G’s employment and the exciting projects they both have on the horizon. (*Sorry for the slight hiss in the background!)    

Ep. 139 - Gina Looks Back at Her Time on the Adam Carolla Show

It’s been a minute, but Gina Grad and Teresa Strasser pick up where they left off, only there’s less of Gina these days. She details her recent breast reduction, life on the Adam Carolla Show these past few months, and updates us on step-mommyhood. Meanwhile, Teresa explains why her upcoming grief/baseball memoir has a new subtitle, and both hosts agree that “grief is really having a moment.” Just a little check in after a year or so. They missed talking to each other, and missed the Easy Listening easy listeners. Give it a listen. There are no ads to fast forward through, because, c’mon, like these two can deal with invoicing and taxes. This is just some free talk because two old friends couldn’t stay away! Free, and worth every penny.

Ep 138 - Your Boobs Don’t Stop

The only title that is more uncomfortable to say out loud than Adventures with Dead Jews, is perhaps People Love Dead Jews. These are the titles of Dara Horn’s Book and companion podcast. Speaking of uncomfortable, Dara isn’t afraid to point out all the reasons the mainstream christians love Anne Frank…but only up to the point where she was caught by the Nazis. G & T walk you through this experience.

Easy Listening - Ep. 137 - JEW-ISH THOUGHTS ON JEWS

Fallen Angel is a new podcast series documenting the origin story of Victoria’s Secret. Secrets uncovered include: models have to be skinny and it leads to eating disorders! The modeling industry is filled with skeezy people! Sometimes, models are treated poorly! So, this series isn’t exactly breaking any news. It’s not solving any crimes. And yet, they couldn’t stop listening to it.
