Merry LITmas! It's the time of year, when everyone acts just a little bit better (2020 has set the bar pretty low, so it shouldn't be hard...) and people drink just a little bit more. And who doesn't love cozying up to a fresh holiday cocktail and a classic (or not so classic) Christmas movie? Join me, on EPISODE 10, where myself and season favorite, Adele Stewart, and newcomer Brianna Woods, talk about holiday traditions, Christmas Eve, or our love of Christmas movies. Featuring the never-before-heard-of potential new Hallmark movie script, 'Twas The Year After Christmas, a new holiday treat for the the whole family to enjoy, that embraces all of the stereotypes of of a quintessential Hallmark movie, and a surprise completely impromptu musical number. On behalf of everyone at Making A Martini, we want to wish all of our listeners the very happiest of holidays!

A great, and open conversation about the very present topic of systemic racism and white privilege in American and Pittsburgh. Strides are being made across the world. Slowly but surely. But the conversations need to continue. This episodes guest, Tru Verret-Fleming, makes wonderful points when looking at all aspects of the subject matter. So you're going to hear about the workplace, George Floyd, protests and marches, "Defund The Police," theater, and more. Let us know what you think, and let's keep the conversation going. Links to Tru, and the articles mentioned in the episode are below.

The day has finally come. My 30th Birthday. Anyone out there hit 30 and feel like its all downhill from here? I didn't, I'm just curious if you all did. In this episode, I talk with friends from college, who are all past the 30 year mark, and we discuss life after 30 and all the things we were/weren't ready for, the disappointing upsets, and the pleasantly exciting changes. If you like what you hear on this, you can also check out two of the guests, Hank and Joe, on their YouTube channel linked below.

In this episode I talk with my dear friend Jessica Buchman who has established a virtual campaign this year, to get people registered to vote.

For the first mini-episode, Spilling The MarTini, It's the debate we've all needed. It's time to finally address the fact that Grease 2 is the far superior film! Michele Pfieffer on a ladder should be all I need to say, but in case you need a few more reasons, take a listen. And comment! Let me know what you think!

The NFL, napkins, democracy. What do all of these things have in common? They are all things that millennials have killed!! Or supposedly killed. This week, we welcome back Adele Stewart, as we dive into millennials and the habits that cause the world to look at them and say, "It's all your fault!"

We're getting classy here at Making A Martini. Or maybe we aren't, but this episode, we're talking about Shakespeare! And there couldn't be any better guests for this show, than the hosts of the new podcast, The Bardcast: It's Shakespeare You Dick, Lisa Ann Goldsmith and Owen Thompson. In this episode, we not only discuss their first episode, Filthy Shakespeare, where they break down a TON of Shakespeare's innuendo's and double meanings, but also some of the things that we as a society have now because of Shakespeare! If you like this episode (and even if you don't) give their podcast a listen!

A continuation of the previous episode, my friend Mary O'Brian and I discuss the Netflix Original Series, Sex Education, as well as sex education in America. Links referenced in the episode are below, and if you want to read more from Mary, go to https://medium.com/@marypepperobrien.

Sexual Education Links
https://www.siecus.org
https://www.plannedparenthoodaction.org/issues/sex-education

***In the episode, comprehensivesexualityeducation.org is brought up as a resource, but that website actually no longer exists from when the podcast was originally recorded, and is actually now, an anti-comprehensive sexuality education website. For information on CSE and why it is important, the other websites mentioned in this podcast have it as well. ***

What better way to start off a new podcast, than by talking about...humping...knockin' boots...bumpin uglies. If you don't get the references, then you should listen to find out. First guest, Adele Stewart, and I discuss different sexual terms and definitions that may not be all that common. And if they are...then...that says more about you than it does us. So take a listen. How many do you know? Check out more of Adele's work at http://www.sweatpantsandatiara.com.
