Jor Mom

So it’s been a couple days since a new episode of Jor Mom was supposed to be posted, and yet… nothing. Where have our heroes gone? Are they dead?! Did they have a horrible falling out? Is the podcast over for good?! SO MANY QUESTIONS. Despair no further, dear reader! All the answers you seek lie in the  audio file below! Click it, and be sated. Or don’t. Whatever. I don’t even care.

Another Monday, another exciting episode of Jor Mom! In this ultra-special collector’s edition variant chromium & holofoil cover (remember to keep one copy bagged and boarded for future resale– put your kids through college), Jorah & I revisit the days of yore with a look back on Livejournal, Cartoon Network shows of our youth and the emo culture of the early aughts. Also, I whine copiously about turning 25 and Jorah rolls her eyes a lot. Which you can’t really hear in the podcast, but you can feel it, because honestly, who wouldn’t?

ALSO! In this episode we are joined by the lovely Kelly a.k.a. hookeymonster from Swimming Blindly to talk about the hazards of living down under (which include scary pool-dwelling sharks and overbearing blog commenters). All of this set to some sick-ass jams in an unobtrusively low volume! This podcast has everything you could possibly want! *

Kelly’s blog can be found here.

In this edition of Jor Mom, Jorah tells us about her injured cock, I ramble about the music blogs I wish I could write, and we both share embarrassing secrets from our music-loving pasts. Apparently our lives were marked by a lot of mid-90s SoCal mall-punk. Friends, feast your ears on Jor Mom Episode 4: “Your Gay Injured Rooster”.

In this episode we review the work of Kevin Davis and Lazer Guided Melody.

For no discernible reason, this week’s edition of Jor Mom is all about Canada. And since a Colombian and a Seattleite can’t credibly pay tribute to a country they’re foreign to, we enlisted the help of one of our very favorite Canadian bloggers: the one and only Tristachio. Sit yourself down in your most comfortable ass-device and listen to the sweet sounds of Jor Mom as we pay tribute to the land that brought us Joni Mitchell and John Candy. Ladies and gents, I present to you Jor Mom Episode 3: “Fun-Buttered, Eh?”

The blog we review in this episode is Kyle Lees’s No Haikus Ever. Also, check out his strip Ski Ninjas.

In this edition of “Jor Mom”, Jorah and I get grossly self-congratulatory, spend inordinate amounts of time hypothesizing on the personal lives of some of our favorite bloggers, and unsuccessfully attempt to conceal our bitterness at never having been featured on Freshly Pressed. Feast your ears on the soothing sounds of international schadenfreude, as a girl in Seattle and a boy in Buenos Aires bring to you…

“JOR MOM”. Episode 2: “Barely Pressed”.

Ostensibly a podcast about blogs, we are akin to navigating TV Tropes on a school night: serpentine and desultory in our topic-surfing.

We are calling this weekly 30-minute string of non sequiturs and insulated palaver “JOR MOM”  (Get it? Because her name is “Jor”ah and my name is “Jor”ge? It’s clever, right? …  Right?).

You can listen to our very first episode (which we have lovingly titled “BALLS”) by clicking the lovely player below.

We hope you enjoy! A new episode will be posted every week, I think. Note the “I think“. It’s very important. We’re still figuring things out; format, schedule and content-wise, this may change dramatically next week. For now, we hope you at least partially enjoy our little pilot episode.
