Hears the Thing episodes

  • 11 - First Time Being Robbed by a Monkey
    Join us on a catch up chit chat between two friends after their first two weeks in a new country. Emily marvels at the state of cartoons these days, Ashley gives a quick lesson in speaking Hindi, and both of us recall our first time being robbed by a monkey!! We also explain a little bit of what we are doing in these new places job-wise, which you may have been curious about because we have been nothing but vague about this beforehand. Enjoy!

  • 10 - First Time Teaching

    Join Emily and Ashley as they hang with the youths for what seems like the 6th week in a row. This time, we enter an elementary school and take on the challenge of corralling some kids in Miss Patt's (Emily's sister) first-grade classroom. With a newfound appreciation for teachers, integrated math, and carpet time, we rewind time and reminisce on what school was like when we were younger and trials are associated with being in charge of a ton of kids. 

    Special shout out to Beth Patt and Dayton Elementary for welcoming us here.


    This is our last episode in the States for a little while.

  • 9 - First Time Babysitting

    This week on HTT, we face our true fear- kids. We, as grown adults, babysat for the first time. Listen along as we talk kids, their incredible ability to manipulate and negotiate with mean adults like me (Ashley), Emily's distaste for VBS songs, and our new identities to them (after one evening of being their caretakers). Thanks for listening!

  • 7 - First Time Riding Electric Scooters

    On this week's episode Ashley and Emily finally start taking life by the handlebars and hit the fast lane as they zip through Portland on electric scooters. What is a generally fun and exhilarating time takes a slight turn as Emily puts her life (and knees) on the line for the sake of reporting our first hand accounts to YOU. 

    A special thanks this week to our friend Chase Stubblefield for all of his hard work, coordination, and research that went into the creation of this episode. You can keep up with micromobility through his socials:

  • 6 - First time Summiting a Mountain and Hitchhiking??

    It's a format switcharoo as Emily and Ashley reminisce on their first time summiting mountains (which happened BP [before podcast]) and decide on an AP [after podcast inception] whim to hitchhike. Join us as we go to Central Oregon, where we summit mountains, miss turns, and hike out to roads where our car is not parked. We talk hitchhiking,  its pros and cons, how we tried it, and how we didn't get murdered. For the first time. Enjoy and leave a review!

  • 5 - First Time Making a TikTok

    Enjoy as Ashley and Emily do as the Youths do and dive into the world of TikTok. We discuss the phenomenon, and then make one of our own. We hope you get inspired by our art here to make your own! Check out our insta @hearsthethingpod to see the art we made!

  • 3 - First Time Asking Someone Out
    In this week's episode we tried asking people out for the first time. We were filled with spirally regret, slight despair, but really come out the other end as better people. This experience is ushering us into a new era of our lives, one where we are filled with confidence and zeal for love and life (kinda). Tune in to hear about our rocky road of DMing people and faux pas in date etiquette.
