Hey listeners, here is the special release of our song from last week's episode. If you haven't listened and want to learn about how cloudy day came to be- tune in, you've got plenty of time to catch up. Thank you for listening and keeping up with us; until next episode- that was the thing, buh bye! 

Join Emily and Ashley as this weeks guest Ian Patt talks them through how to write a song. Ian talks about what has inspired his songwriting in the past, and gives the hosts tips on how to write a song of their own. Then, Ashley and Emily listen to Tear Drops on My Guitar and Right Where You Left Me by Taylor Swift a bunch to inspire a song of their own which Ian even produces a taste of  and you can find it in the episode! Ashley and Emily wrap up the episode by talking about their songwriting process, and how they came to Cloudy Day, Hears the Things debut single. Thanks for listening, and Happy 50th episode!! We will see you soon after a few weeks break!

This week on HTT we have a special guest! He is a husband, card dealer, poker expert, father and tax preparer of/for Emily- it's Roy Patt! Roy tells all the insider info that we sort of know- gambling is a losing bet and the house always wins (kind of). We talk about how to play blackjack, Roy's Christmas presents (all poker books), the type of person who does the best in casinos, and what it feels like to win and lose (it's not good, either way).

Thanks friends! Let us know if you have had any big wins or life-shattering losses and leave a review on Apple Podcasts or wherever else you listen to pods!

This week on Hears the Thing Joel Sigrist talks us through Getting a Job for the First Time. Joel has created a course on How to Find a Job in 4 Weeks, and in putting this course together, he has done a lot of research into what recruiters are looking for when hiring potential candidates, which a lot of which he shares with us in the hour we had him on. Joel, Ashley and Emily have all gotten their first “adult” job in the last few months, and so we talk about that a bit in keeping with the theme of the podcast for doing this for the first time. Again, Joel is very knowledgeable and full of tips to think about when it comes to finding a job fit for you, how to apply, what to make of your resume and LinkdIn, how take on interviews and more!

This week on the p'dcast, we have long-time friend of the pod, Catherine Romanaggi, on to "see" or more aptly, hear, a psychic. We used Psychic Source to connect with our psychic, Hope! Catherine had her aura read, her tarot cards interpreted and got a connection with someone's grandma.  Join us to hear about our takes on the spiritual realm, our beliefs in psychics, and to hear about what Catherine's future holds. 

Cheers friends! Let us know if you have had any psychic encounters and leave a review on Apple Podcasts or wherever else you listen to pods!
