The Sound of Tomorrow

Rerun: Independence Day 2019

Happy 4th, everyone! Hope you're not hiding under the sofa from the fireworks but, if you are, we've got something to block out the noise: this here Sound of Tomorrow! Kicking it off clumsily but getting in gear talking about ways to slow down the perception that time is flying. After that? A fun drinking game proposal for if you watch the rally, um, parade from DC tomorrow! After the music break during which you'll enjoy The Incredibly Moses Leroy doing "The Fourth of July,: we're back talking TV. That's right--only TV. Not abortion news. Nope. Not that.

Episode 467: Acute Angle

Goodness me, it's a new Sound of Tomorrow! We're staring  off light with a tale of The Thing In Heather's House and a little disaster preparedness. Apparently Ross knows everything there is to know about radioactivity and space weather but it's all news to Heather. Then our very level-headed, fact-based discussion of reproductive rights devolves quickly into frenzied screaming. It's fun! We promise!

Rerun: Pao De Queijo

In honor of Heather making Pao De Quejo over the weekend, please enjoy this rerun from the beforetimes--August 22, 2019.

Mmmmm..... Brazilian cheese buns sure do sound good, don't they, Space Cadets? You know who will never know if they are? We won't!!! Because someone stole the tapioca flour (and the battery-operated Christmas candles) off my porch. That's right--HZ here hankering for a hunk of Pao De Queijo, forever unfulfilled. But there's joy and light! Because we're talking theft on today's new SoT but we're also talking friendship and books Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to send Ross a Snapchat of the cute thing Nigel is doing right now.

Recipe link (good luck finding the flour): https://hilahcooking.com/pao-de-queijo/

Your Favorite Co-Host, Ross Johnson is out of the office today so you're left with DJ Heather holding down the old airwaves.

It starts off a little rocky, I suppose, but it really gets good once the dancing starts!

Music help from all the greatest artists and bands.
