ABOUT THE EPISODE

Miss us? We missed you! For this all-new episode, we're getting into the holiday, family fun spirit and chatting with Joe and Lauren of Gray Matters Games about their story as a company (a pull-at-the-heartstrings husband-and-wife effort) and the process of creating a board game from conception through production to release. Be sure to check out their site, buy a game—their latest is in Target stores and online now!—or give them a follow on social media. Psst...they also recently welcomed their first child into the world so maybe wish them luck on that journey, too!

ABOUT THE EPISODE

It is unbelievable this hiatus but we are back with a brand-new episode that we feel was definitely worth the wait! And, with new host Mary, we have a lot of fun (and maybe even some changes) in store moving forward. Without further ado, welcome Kitty Curran and Larissa Zageris to the pod! They are the amazing and dynamic duo behind “Taylor Swift: Girl Detective” and a new, choose-your-own-adventure novel that is oh so fun and lives up to the hype, “My Lady’s Choosing.” It was so delightful meeting and chatting with these ladies and we just know you’ll fall in love with them. I mean, our chat spans everything from T. Swift (obvi) to Nancy Drew to Riverdale to feminism. Buckle up, enjoy the listen, then go out and buy one of their books. Srsly. Be sure to check out the links below to follow them on the interwebs.

ABOUT THE EPISODE

We are back with yet another new episode! This time, we chat with two yogis — Erica Treais and Angie Jackson — who also happen to teach others how to practice. That’s right, yoga instructor wisdom is coming your way. We could not be more thrilled to also be releasing this episode during Women’s History Month, since both of these women exemplify what it means to be beautiful, strong, powerful and in control. That said, we share this with a bit of sadness as it is officially host Jessica Prost’s last episode. She will be around supporting the show in a different capacity but will no longer be one of the lovely voices you hear. Stay tuned for our next episode as we will be introducing a brand new co-host.

ABOUT THE EPISODE

We’re back with our first episode of 2018 (yay!), and we could not be more thrilled to return. We are so excited for you to hear from each the amazing humans we have been chatting with and learning from. In this first 2018 installment, we introduced listeners old and new to the elusive world of television production. At the time of this recording, guest Christine “Teeny” Stillings was in the throes of her team’s recent Emmy nomination for their production, The Oscars: All Access. We are happy to report that she has since been awarded that honor [*Congrats, girl!*] and can’t wait for you to hear from her and our other guest Alex Bryant. Combined, Teeny and Alex have over 10 years of experience in television and have received three Emmy nominations… and two wins!

Hear from Ashley Curd and Kate Jacobson on all things stand-up comedy from Detroit to L.A., including what the joke writing process is like.
