October 26, 2020 Episode 11: The F*cking Haunting of Hood River
Today, we bring to you what started as a NOPE episode, but turned into a tale of witches and a possible haunting at the Elks. Join us as we talk witchy woman brewers, learning history the lazy way, and spook ourselves out immensely. This episode is somewhere between a full-length and a Quickie. The veil is very thin right now, people. Stay focused and please, please be kind in every realm.

October 14, 2020 Quickie 15 - We were best friends in a bathroom somewhere
In today's Quickie, the hosts dive into a couple times in their lives when they've had the hindsight clarity to say, "Holy shit. I should've been dead." Kat talks about roaming the back alleys of Seattle while Kristyn explores some of the most questionable vans she's climbed into with strangers. In Kristyn's words to her friend recently, "Much of my life could be described as a cautionary tale to parents of female children." Cheers!

October 05, 2020 Episode 10 - The Wedding Celebration Anniversary
"I tried to warn that town that we were coming."

The hosts pre-recorded this episode, knowing it would launch on Kristyn's one-year wedding celebration anniversary with her husband, Dave, and assuming she might be out of town or just drunk. We talk wedding lessons, advice, intimate moments, fun memories, terrorizing a small Washington town, and everything in between. It also helps that Kat sings praises about the entire weekend for the entire episode - what more could an only child's ego need? If you were there, we'd love for you to share some memories and photos. If you were not, we hope this will give you an idea of how much fucking fun we had. Pour a stiff drink for this special episode. Cheers.

September 30, 2020 Quickie 14 - I'm really hoping that this is the dreamboat
In this episode of playing Girl Talk, the hosts explore career paths, Justin Bieber's beautiful face, street meat, and what it feels like to win a Ferrari. You won't want to miss out on this revived rendition of a classic 80s game that made all girls feel like shit. Pour a strong drink - this one is sure to take you back. Cheers!

September 21, 2020 NOPE Episode - Remember the T
This NOPE Episode is about Marsha P. Johnson. She was a revolutionary and a trans womxn who lived her full truth openly and in defense of others from 1945 until the 1990s when she was murdered. Our "NOPE" episodes highlight womxn who decided that enough was fucking enough, and took matters into their own hands.

Marsha was a mother to many and a beacon of hope in gay and trans rights activism at a time that, while not long ago, was brand new. We hope you can learn a little to take away with you and that you will share Marsha "Pay It No Mind" Johnson's story.

September 16, 2020 Quickie 13 - I feel like my furniture has stories

September 07, 2020 Episode 9: The rich kids go on Spring Break
When you were growing up, what did other families have that made you think they were wealthy? In today's episode, the hosts explore some of their own notions about what "being rich" looked like when they were young, and also chat about how these ideas are formed. We share responses from listeners that range from vacations to mini vans to name brand cereal to ponies. For today's listening, we highly recommend cracking a Shasta and getting comfy on the living room floor or taking your banana seat bike out for a spin. Cheers!

September 02, 2020 Quickie 12 - I'm about to be just a walking stencil of vinyl
Kristyn got Kat a used Cricut machine for her birthday at a garage sale recently, and when Kat opened it, it was as if she'd unveiled the holy grail. So we decided to record a quick little episode to capture her enamored and shocked response, along with chatting about 80s babies' obsessions with putting stickers on EVERYTHING! This episode includes a special guest appearance from OG Podcast Mutt, Murdock.

August 24, 2020 NOPE Episode: Welcome
Welcome to the first NOPE Episode of Thunder Thighs & Lightning. These periodic episodes will feature womxn throughout history who have decided they were fed up with the patriarchy and done with being oppressed by societal rules, so they just said, "Nope." We will try to teach you a little bit about their story before introducing their involvement in activism, feminism, protest, education, reform, freedom, and many other empowerment efforts. While we try to be exhaustive and include our sources, please note that we simply cannot tell you their whole stories, so we always recommend doing some more digging on your own.

Our first featured woman is Mary Ann Hall, an entrepreneur and madam from the Civil War era, who simply saw an opportunity to build her empire on something that almost all people want: sex. Not much was known about her until the ruins of her well-appointed brothel were unearthed on the National Mall while breaking ground for a museum in the 1990s. Pour yourself a fine glass of sparkling and join us as Kat weaves the tale of this legend. Cheers!
