  • Sips & Squabbles

    Here at Sips & Squabbles, we drink and we argue - and it’s a game show too. Join Emmett, Ryan, and Jadin as they’re put to the test by our witty host, Ben. Each round, the contestants are prompted with a scenario, ranging from the absurd to the borderline philosophical. Then, they have to argue to the host why their answer should come out on top - be it the most logical, persuasive, or simply the funniest. And don’t worry, we didn’t forget the “Sips” - every couple rounds, the contestants have to crack open a fresh can of hard cider. The winner of each round gets a point, and whoever has the most points at the end of the show will be crowned the GRAND CHAMPION!

    Produced and Written by Benjamin Nellis
    Co-Recorded and Co-Edited by Emmett Kearns, Ryan Crosby, Benjamin Nellis, and Jadin Vega

  • Where Toon Meets Reality

    Ever wondered what would happen if natural disasters just stopped and the effects didn’t last? Ever wondered if Spongebob actually ate a bomb? Find out on our podcast, “Where Toon Meets Reality,” a hypothetical, satirical and comedic podcast about real-life events played out like a cartoon... or if cartoons had to deal with the harsh realities of real life. Hosts Ted, Quincy, and Alyssa talk about cartoons and how the physics just don't make sense! We also flip the script, taking classic cartoon catastrophes and asking, “What if this happened in real life… and it didn’t just reset in the next scene?”

    This podcast is for fans of pop culture, history nerds, and comedy lovers who enjoy speculative “what-if” scenarios. Think Last Week Tonight meets Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, with a splash of MythBusters. It’s smart, irreverent, and wildly creative—perfect for animation fans, satirical history buffs, and anyone who’s ever wished they could survive a 100-foot fall by holding up a tiny umbrella.

  • Ex’s and Oh No’s with Unfortunate Ursula

    Ex’s and Oh No’s is an immersive podcast where "fans of the show" can call in and share stories about their love lives that, although unlucky for them, others find amusing.

    The show also sets itself apart from others because, while telling the story, audio from the actual date is heard as well. On this week’s episode of Ex’s and Oh No’s, we have Ursula joining us - or, “Unfortunate Ursula,” as some would call her. She got this name because of the many failed dating experiences that she has had in the past. This episode gives Ursula the chance to let the world in on one date that went particularly awry, and discusses aspects such as her date’s interesting quirks, poor dining etiquette, strange vernacular, and more. 

    Crew:
    Writer: Jill Melendez, Ireland Arceri, and Shaylyn Revenew
    Audio Recordist: Ruby Zuckerman
    Editor: Gianna Vozzolo
    Producer: Ireland Arceri
