Plain Donuts

This week, Steve and Alicia have a special guest, author of the novel Donn's Hill, Caryn Larrinaga! They tangent off as usual before chatting with Caryn about writing, publishing, and lemon bars.

More info about Caryn, and links to Donn's hill and other writing on her website: http://carynlarrinaga.com

We mentioned a way that your local independent book store could order the paperback if you want to buy it from them, that is http://www.indiebound.org/

This week, things get a bit more controversial than normal - Steve is quite the bad one and decides to rant and rave before announcing that he's 1/16th Native American. Things calm down after that, and we and chat about weird historical events before diving into Oscar drama (including some discussion around past allegations of Casey Affleck committing sexual assault).

Steve and Alicia have Jacob (Nightghost49) as a guest on the show! He's a dad, a husband, a streamer, a YouTuber, and an all-around great guy with a rad voice! During a live stream and recording, they discuss the life of a man with essentially three jobs. Unsurprisingly, eventually things get weird. This is Plain Donuts, after all.

This week, Steve and Alicia ask Siri some weird and personal questions before talking about presidents, books, and presidential books.

Steve and Alicia chat about the frustration with a football type game, and take questions about Valentine's Day before finally brainstorming ideas for the suburban super hero, Chalky Laser-Eyes.

In this episode, Steve and Alicia doggedly pursue humor in pets in spite of the world's ever-increasing cattiness.

This episode is about pets. Sorry for the pugs... er... puns.

This week, Steve and Alicia welcome their first remote guest, Kola: Social media maven extraordinaire! They spend time chatting/lamenting about Instagram and Facebook, creativity, fandoms, and answer some social questions from the audience before things get weird.

This episode, Steve gets in a Twitter beef with Flat Earthers, Alicia talks about her visit to the ER, and they both get down with the sickness. They also try to come up with a name for the faithful Plain Donuts followers.

Steve and Alicia have a guest! Sarah Hanisko, a doctor! She's a doctor specializing in conflict resolution, so our hosts and their guest take audience questions all around conflict (and some games and some Batman). Steve also yells about the Flat Earth theory.
