Sweet Little Ladies

WE BACK! After a short hiatus, Sweet Little Ladies Dana and Raegan are back with a new episode just in time for Valentine's Day.

For the first time, they asked listeners to send in stories about their worst Valentine's Day dates ever and there are some DOOZIES discussed. They round out the episode by dissecting a list of supposed "bad" Valentine's gifts. (Spoiler: most of them are actually good gifts.)

Sure, a witch could have a broom, a cauldron and a pointy hat. But she could also be any underprivileged woman in 1692-1693 Salem, Massachusetts you were beefin' with!

Hosts Dana and Raegan delve deep into the Salem Witch Trials to find out what REALLY happened, and how things got out of hand so quickly. And are some of the societal problems that caused the madness still factors today? Oh, oh you betcha.

Can an Aries and a Capricorn even host a podcast together? Well guess what...they already do.

In episode eight of the Sweet Little Ladies podcast, hosts Dana and Raegan dissect astrology and why anyone would look to it for meaning in the god dang first place. While they start off skeptical, they find that they may be a truer Capricorn and Aries than they first realized...

Look, you can either listen to this Study Abroad episode of the Sweet Little Ladies podcast at your leisure, or hosts Dana and Raegan can corner you at a party and tell you about their study abroad experiences at double the length and volume. Your choice. Learn about where Dana and Raegan studied abroad in this seventh episode, what they were supposed to be studying vs. how they ACTUALLY spent their time, and the wildlife they encountered along the way. (For Dana, a shark. For Raegan, old, horny Irishmen. Equally dangerous, if you think about it.)

What do you get when you take a desperate need for attention, a large capacity for rejection, plus a smart mouth and a pinch of mental illness? A stand-up comic, of course. Episode six of the Sweet Little Ladies podcast is about comedy - the thing that brought hosts Raegan Niemela and Dana Ehrmann together in the first place. They discuss the specials and movies they watched as kids, what in the hell made them want to get up on stage and tell jokes in the first place, and some of the weird venues they've had a chance to perform in.

Do girls go to college to get more knowledge or do they go so they can study The Canterbury Tales and then get postgrad jobs that have NOTHING to do with that? You decide. This fifth episode of the Sweet Little Ladies podcast is about going to college. Hosts and stand-up comics Raegan Niemela and Dana Ehrmann discuss their journeys from choosing a school to switching majors a bajillion (that's a technical term) times and how they're dealing with debt now that it's all over. Bonus: Hear about Dana's time staying overnight in a former one-room schoolhouse in rural Wisconsin.

Do you think the inventors of the world wide web knew that eventually it'd be used to argue whether a dress was white and gold or blue and black? Probs not. This fourth episode of the Sweet Little Ladies podcast covers the world wide web and follows stand-up comics and hosts Raegan Niemela and Dana Ehrmann and their journeys growing up in the digital age. Raegan teaches us how the Internet got started, but maybe even more importantly, we find out where Dana & Raegan would rank each other, MySpace top 8-style.

Whether you're a sports newb or a Brewers or Bucks devotee, this episode is for you. Stand-up comics and friends Raegan Niemela and Dana Ehrmann look back at how growing up playing and watching sports has effected their interest in sports today. Dana explains basic sports rules, terminology and playoff structures, while Raegan discusses the parts of sports culture that appeal to her most.

Some say that people go to therapy because of the other people in their lives who won't go to therapy. Hosts and stand-up comics Dana Ehrmann and Raegan Niemela aren't going to disagree. The second episode of the Sweet Little Ladies podcast tackles mental health and the events that led the friends to therapy. As Dana's therapist once explained, "it is what it is."

This is the introductory episode to the Sweet Little Ladies podcast by Raegan Niemela & Dana Ehrmann. The main discussion reflects on the topic of food. For Raegan, cooking is a therapeutic outlet, and she's been known to make pasta from scratch. On the other hand, Dana grew up on Cheesy-anas (listen to find out), and the topic in general conjures up anxiety. Before they get to that, though, the friends talk about capital punishment. ...It's a wild ride.
