Why? The Podcast

With so much time on our collective hands, people everywhere are now looking for more movies to watch. We re-connected with Bob Trate from the Colonial Theater in Phoenixville, PA to talk about what he's been watching and one way you can stay involved with the local independent movie theater near you during this rough time.

For more information on the Colonial check out their website. And to join an on-line viewing party, check out the Colonial's Facebook page.

We get all of our football questions answered when we talked with Jake Sutherland. Jake is a tight end for the XFL's New York Guardians. How many people are hitting him up for tickets? Who names the plays? Do signs in the stadium really encourage them? Check Jake out on Twitter, or visit the Guardians' website for more info.

When you think of the perfect detective pair, maybe you think Crockett and Tubbs. Or Holmes and Watson. But you likely don't think of the 44th President and his Vice President.

Andrew Shaffer is here to change all that. He's the author of the Obama-Biden mysteries books that, while are a lot of fun for the politically informed, they're also actually really good mysteries.

We talked with Andrew about how he crafts his mysteries, why he settled on Biden and why the former Vice President is the perfect detective noir voice.

For more information on Andrew and all of the books he's written, check out his website.

Heidi and Luke were recently guests on The Love Pod, a podcast dedicated to discussing everything going on in the world of reality TV dating. They got together to talk about Love is Blind, the hit Netflix show. (In case you haven't binged it yet, you might want to give it a shot.)

If you're looking to get away, why not go to a galaxy far, far away?

We talked with Bryndee Barton from Loma Homes, the woman who oversaw the building of the home and talked over the details that they put into every room. For more information, or to book your time to stay at the Twelve Parsecs house, check out their website. You can also check out a gallery of the room inside the house at our website.

Love is Blind is a reality TV show on Netflix. And it's popular. And if you didn't know this, we're thrilled to know they finally got you out from under that rock.

We talked with two contestants about their brief stay in the pods, what they learned about themselves and why Andy might be a bad traveling companion.

When it comes to famous animals who paint, one swine who is taking the art world by storm is Pigcasso. When she's not painting in her barn in South Africa, she's designing Swatch watch bands and raising money to support the animal sanctuary where she resides. (And if that isn't enough, she's also bottled and about to start selling her own wine.)

We talked with Jo Lefson, who not only rescued Pigcasso, she discovered her unique talent. For more information, or to purchase a Pigcasso original, visit her website.

Who hasn't needed to blow off some steam? Who hasn't wanted to smash stuff? Well, thankfully, there's rage rooms. (And they're, forgive the pun, all the rage.) We talked with Kea Tull from the Philadelphia Rage Room about the creation of the room, what kind of music people like to smash to and who is the best rager?

For more information and to book your time in the room, check out their website. Rage on!

Matt Thomas is a world champion chess boxer. As the first American to try the sport, Matt broke new ground in a sport that combines the brains needed for chess and the brawn needed to hit someone in the face repeatedly.

Matt talks with us about his strategy  that he brought to the world championship and what gave him a leg up on his competition and about his charity that raises money through boxing.

Malcolm Brenner is fascinated with the idea of dolphin telepathy. After a life long interest in dolphins, (and a romantic relationship with a dolphin named Dolly in the 1970s) Brenner sat down to talk with us about communication with animals and his two books, Wet Goddess and Mel-Khyor.
