Episode 379: Gas Leak!

We're kicking off this week's Sound of Tomorrow with the harrowing tale of the gas leak across the street from Heather's house late night last week and then we're going straight to therapy because we need it and also Ross has been carrying around this article for three weeks and it's all rumply and stuff now. After "Don't Feed The Trolls" by Jonathan Coulton, we're back to tell you all about how, somewhere in this great United States of America, A REPUBLICAN MAN IS WORRIED ABOUT TAMPONS. We finish it off with a few Hot Picks and, there, the hard part is done.

Episode 378: Girl Detective

On this week's all new Sound of Tomorrow, Ross is switching genres in the very long intro skit and then we're taking about Black representation in TV and movie! After the quick music break, we've got Susan B. Anthony and sex ed. What more could you want?

Episode 377: SquirrelMoji 2020

All right, y'all. Another year, another disappointing update from Unicode. I mean, sure, we love the Trans flag and Mx Santa. But, again, no SquirrelMoji?! It's just too much...... After we dry our tears, we're off talking about BOOKS! After the break, it's vegan news and we're out! Sorry in advance--I think we're maybe a little snobby in this one. But you know us.... you know we're a little snobby sometimes. SQUIRRELMOJI 2021!

Episode 376: RATS The Musical

We're back with an all new Sound of Tomorrow and we'd like to remind you THE INTERNET HAS MANY LISTS OF RAT NAMES. Today we're talking Betelgeuse, we're talking space junk (in our trunks), we're talking old dude kitty cats (love you, Nigel!), and we're talking Tinder. Also, there's a song at the end. You know I'll listen back..... but not right away. 

Of Montreal with "Bassam Sabry" was the music break. 

SoT_376_RATS

Episode 375: Kicking Down the Menstrual Hut

That's right, in today's exciting Sound of Tomorrow, can you believe Ross expects Heather to broadcast from the menstrual hut he brought to the studio for her? NO WAY! She kicked it down! Right after they discuss perimenopause and right before they discuss Amazon Warriors.

TMBG DAS: Mrs. Train

SoT_375_KDTMH

Episode 374: Mostly Politics

Oh, yeah, we're back with another classic Sound of Tomorrow! Your favorite liberal weenies are talking about the new Binti show, they're talking about the ERA, and they're talking about some tips on how White people can be better in 2020. 

Music: "She Divines WATER" by Camper Van Beethoven. 

SoT_374_MostlyPolitics

Episode 373: New Year's 2020

After last week's very special John Linnell ep, Ross and Heather are back with the first official Sound of Tomorrow of 2020! And also, it's David Bowie's birthday or, well, this is the podcast so it was yesterday. And tomorrow is...... ok, well, we can keep our crying to ourselves, now, can't we (no, we can't.). BUT! Happy 2020! In this exciting episode, we're talking health news, Womanikins, New Year's resolutions (phweet!), and internet manipulation! Oh yeah.

Music break: "Dollar Days" by David Bowie, from his final album, Blackstar.

SoT_373_NewYears2020

Episode 372: John Linnell

Space Cadets, we're kicking 2020 off right with today's episode! That's right--Ross is OOO this week so Heather is joined in the studio by her partner in all things TMBG, Woody Battaglia, to play yes, that's right, the recording of their interview with John Linnell of They Might Be Giants! As you might imagine, this interview was one of the best things that could ever happen to these two TMBG lifelong fans. As you'll hear, John Linnell is one of the sweetest, funniest, loveliest people once could ever wish to speak with (not that that's a surprise; we knew all along!) and it was a dream come true to have a chance to speak with him.

Episode 369: We Forced a Bot (And We Liked It)

Wow, Space Cadets, it is COLD but the Sound of Tomorrow is on FIRE! Especially Ross which is why he's repeatedly trying to stuff Heather into a black plastic bag. In today's exciting episode, we're revisiting our baby podcaster days with a trip down memory lane! Very trendy, yes? After hearing The Cleaners From Venus with "Every Light In This House," we're back with another longer-than-expected HOT PICKS segment. Will we ever be warm again?

Episode 368: Little Miss P

Here we are again, it's an all new Sound of Tomorrow! In this exciting episode, we're discussing Period Badges and Porch Pirates! Plus, of course, neighborhood pages online, what a nightmare! After a little musical break, Ross is bored by the article on office talk so his Hot Picks turns quickly into Rant Pants. Looks for our Crampsy merch coming soon and a shout out to our beloved Canadian Girlfriend Daughter!

Space Cadets! It's cold out...... so cold..... But there's good news! Ross and I are related after all! He's been doing his ancestry research and it proves it! I knew all along..... BTW--HZ here. Just got in from shoveling. Ai.... BUT! After we have our little family reunion, it's off to the brain races on this week's SoT! Studies show that all kids are equally good at math! None of this "boys are better at math than girls." So take that, all my grade school teachers! PLUS--more good news: my dear relative Ross and I are going to live to a ripe old age because optimists live longer, turns out! Yeah! So, um, take that, uh..... all my grade school teachers! Yeah. That works. Did I mention it's cold out?

Wow, we have a jam-packed show today, Space Cadets!  We start off with a few stories from Ross's super-fun college reunion (it's been five years already?! Time flies!) and then we're into the rules for our very impromptu contest! If you know Ross's secret and want an SoT swag bag (for real, we have them), send the name of his new D&D character to jimmyspaceboy@gmail.com! You've got until the 16th so act now! Then we're talking about the silly silly furor over a new cute doll line. After the break we've got menses! We've got fat bears! We've got Mental Health Awareness Month!

Big congratulations to Holly, 2019's fattest bear. Beadnose, I miss you.

Episode 359: Nnnrrrrrrrrrrr

Wow, Space Cadets, we are tired and wired on today's Sound of Tomorrow! Out of the gate (heh) ('cause they, like, have gates at airports, right?), Ross is trying out his new tight seven on airplane food! On to DND adventures and then back to.... travel? with a discussion of the confusing new NYS driver's licensing system and can we get on a plane or not? Don't trust us on this one--we're obviously confused. After the break, we're back with more on how to suss out whether that news you like is fake or not and then, blissfully, we're all headed home for naps! Success!

TMBG DAS: "Call You Mom"

Music: "J'Faim, Toujours" by Little Jack Melody and His Young Turks.

SoT_357_PeriodPiece

Episode 356: Big Beastie Knowledge

Why isn't this ep called Wilderness Tips, you ask? Because, ages ago, I'm pretty sure we had one named that after a Margaret Atwood book I no longer own, alas! Still---we got a kicker of a skit for you today, Space Cadets, ukes and everything for YOU! Then we're talking Green Army Men AND WOMEN (and also Enby soldiers, too, naturally!), residential Facebook sites (Welcome to city living, jerks!) and, frighteningly, a plan to monitor people with mental illness to prevent mass shootings (no..... please, no.). After "Bassam Sabry" (clap clap) by Of Montreal, we're back with Hot Picks and Gay Jeans! I mean, Genes..... 

SoT_356_Beastie

^My favorite White Ninja comic ever. Stink! <3

Episode 355: Lazy

Nah... laziness isn't even a thing! Quit being so judgey! Leave that up to us, the profession Liberal Weenies. Spoiler alert, yes, we're talking laziness in the second half of the show but not before we talk about that Analog Award thing (what? I'm posting this later than usual. I can't be expected to remember everything we talked about, jeesh!) a discuss an NPR listicle on 7 ways to get out of debt! Fun fact: don't believe credit card companies when they say interest rates are high to motivate us to pay them back more quickly; buncha liars.*

TMBG DAS: "Ana Ng" live from some concert or other! 

*See? We're good at the judgey thing!

SoT_355_Lazy

Episode 354: You Wanna Buy a Watch?

Psst! Clank clank. That's right, your Radio Friends The Sound of Tomorrow are back for another hour of giggles and tomfoolery! After a brief Wildlife Talk with Ross and Heather, we're forging ahead with fake news. We were not rescued by the nice people who came in to find something they'd left in the studio so the music break was "Havana" by The Mabuses. After that? More friendship! And some commentary on masculinity.... Stay til the end to hear me start to panic when frat boys are mentioned! I had some bad experiences in college, y'all.

SoT_354_BuyAWatch

Episode 353: Pao De Queijo

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/

Music today from the Trachtenberg Family Slideshow Players with "Look at Me."

Episode 352: Silent Book Club

Ain't no book club party like a silent book club party 'cause a silent book club party is SILENT! But not us.... no, on today's new Sound of Tomorrow, we're neither silent nor are we actually doing a book club! Instead, we're talking gratitude lists and their opposite! We're talking blue green algae (which isn't even algae at all)! We're talking boycotts! And maybe we're talking, just a little bit, cats!

Song of the day: "Fugitive Air" by Of Montreal.

SoT_352_SilentBookClub

Episode 351: Pizza Party

It's a pretty cheesy show today, Space Cadets, but we got your all new Sound of Tomorrow right here! After the delicious skit, Heather tries to dive right in but Ross demands a quick Nigel Tale! He soon regrets it, though, so we're off on the topic of anxiety and metal illness. After the TMGB DAS duo, "Have this Thing" and "Spy" (the original Dial-A-Song demo version), we're back with historical women! Short and sweet, yeah? Now.... where's my pizza? 

SoT_351_PizzaParty

Episode 350: #NoTallMen

Ok, Space Cadets---all y'all who have vaginas, please tell me: have you ever stored your license, credit card, and folded money in your vagina and, if so, how did you pay for your stuff at Target? That's right, it's an all new Sound of Tomorrow! Yes, we're talking about vaginas for too long, you say? Wish. After Vagina Chat with Heather and Ross, we're talking TREES! Then it's Aloha with "Summer Away" and we're talking Teen Drinking. Which reminds me, I am parched! 

SoT_350_NoTallMen

Episode 349: Claws Out

Hey, everybody, we've got a banger of a show today for YOU! Kicking it off with, once again, oddly enough, elementary school memories and the casual racism of the 80s, we're moving into good news for kitties and a bit of a diatribe on "please, everyone, be kind to your pets and also get them spayed and neutered!" The TMBG DAS is "Road Movie To Berlin" from that time they played the album Flood live in Australia. And then we're back! And Heather is mad..... taking down the patriarchy one article at a time? Yes, she's trying. So die mad. Heather will. 

Cats!

SoT_349_ClawsOut

^Nigel <3

Episode 348: I Remember Penfield

Whoo-wee Space Cadets, are you ready for a.... show? Fun BTS fact: I wrote some of my grade school friends about "I Remember Penfield" last night and Leigh was able to fill in the last verse I'd forgotten. I remembered the first line and then it turned into "Puff the Magic Dragon." But don't worry! I still remember "I Like Being a Kid" in full. Somebody help me. Childhood trauma aside, in today's new SoT, we're talking anti-racism, we've got some Backlash early pages book discussion, and hey, Henrietta did a pretty nice thing, eh? After The Magnetic Fields doing "When My Boy Walks Down the Street," it's time for HOT PICKS! And then that article about finding a new doctor we kept saying we were going to talk about. Yah.*

*At the end of most grade school choir songs, they made us do this move where we stretched out our right arms and flipped our hands and said "yah" dramatically. Whyyyy, Penfield Central Schools, whyyyy?

SoT_348_IRP

Episode 347: Amygdala Hijack

We got a jam-packed show today on ye olde SoT, Space Cadets! Kicking it off with some space news and annoying interjections about space noodz from your own HZ and segueing seamlessly (?) into talking about..... talking. Tell us about yourselves! JimmySpaceboy@gmail.com. After the TMBG DAS "It Was a Very Good Year" we're not procrastinating on discussing procrastination! And weeeeee will always love..... youuuuuuu!

Episode 346: 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. 

SoT_346_IndependenceDay2019

Episode 345: Camera Obscura

Smile, you're on hidden camera! Aw, nah... you're not.... unless you're in an Air BnB? Hey, wow, that's right, it's a new Sound of Tomorrow from sunny summertime Rochester NY's finest radio station WAYO LP Rochester! We're out of the gate talking about Ross's travel adventures and then Heather butts in with some info on how to search your vacation getaway for hidden cameras! The Sunshine Fix provides the middle break with "Mr. Summer Day," R.I.P. Bill Doss. And we're back with act 2 and a segment we like to call "Megetable: Fact or Fiction" which turns out to be a true example of how we work to vet our sources. Closing it out with some space news and some kind of psychotic break from the Babe wit the Power. Let's go get that solar sail!

SoT_345_CameraObscura

Episode 344: Your Summertime DJHZ

Episode 343: Clairvoyant Medium

Rule number one: keep vacuum cleaner hoses away from your genitals. That's right, it's an all new Sound of Tomorrow and we care about the health and safety of your privates and our own! After that Medical Hot Tip, we're talking about Heather's big Lily Dale adventure. Space Cadets, what's your take on mediums? And what's your take on me (take on me)? After "Hearing Aid," this week's TMBG DAS, we're off to Niagara Falls Comic Con! NB: that unexplained mass on the moon is, yes, cheese. And a little drag news to round it on out. Can you take a man in spirit?

Episode 342: Misty Cheboygan

We're back and flakier than ever! But the show must go on! So, it being June, we're kicking it off after pre-topic banter (tell me your trust circle stories! 585-542-5502, jimmyspaceboy@gmail.com) with 6 things straight people who go to Pride should know before they do and 4 reasons should definitely go out and support Pride! Rochester folks: look for Ross and his elaborate headdress in July! Yum. Break music is, appropriately, "June" by Camper Van Beethoven and we're back with some eye rolling over the male in Boston who is pushing his Straight Pride Parade nonsense. &%$# that male. Then, what what? Ross has some tips about sex and consent from the kink community via NPR! Hottt.

Episode 341: Shut Up, Nobody Cares

And also you're annoying. Nah, we're just kidding! Unless we aren't! BUT--kicking off today's all new Sound of Tomorrow, Ross has a new thing he's testing out from PornHub! It's the Boner Buddy or I think that's what he was trying to get at, anyway. Look for us on Charlotte Beach if the weather ever gets above 45 degrees! After that, got some local sports news (I know!) and then "Malefic Dowery" by Of Montreal to reset our nonsense. Act Two is all about DNA testing and what of yours the police can get their hands on and we're out!

Episode 340: Kondo-Shaming

That's right, we're back in the WAYO LP Rochester studios this week for al all new Sound of Tomorrow and, boy oh boy, are we trying to keep it light. There is SO MUCH going on right now.... reading the news is hard. SO--we're kicking it off with a RuPaul ReCap! Who do you think is going to win the Season 11 crown? Let us know--jimmyspaceboy@gmail.com or 585-542-5502! After checking out TMBG's "Pet Name" (live in St. Louis), we're back with a discussion of hologram tours and then, heavens, can it be, Ross has a little Kondo-shaming for Heather? Say it isn't so! (It's so.)

Episode 338: Protesters

We're out of the gates with a great big skit during which we broke very minimally (pat pat) on today's new Sound of Tomorrow! After the verry long drama, we've got an Unshelved Mystery (whoosh) and then it's time to hear "Month of May" by Arcade Fire! The second act gets, frankly, more somber and frightening as we talk about anti-abortion protesters and the new bad on abortion in Georgia. I'm not kidding, folks... I'm terrified.

But also: menses!

Episode 337: A Miscellaneous Wednesday

Gosh, we were mostly looking for people to call in today and let me know what they wanted me to leave them in my will but I guess all our listeners have some phone anxiety, poor honies! But we have tips to help that for you! And we have some stuff about BOOKS, yeah, we love 'em. After rocking out to a little "Psychotic Feeling" (my latest non-stop Of Montreal jam), we're talking diet culture and weight stigma. You know we couldn't keep the whole show sunny and fun!

What do you want me to leave you in my will? Drop me a line at JimmySpaceboy@gmail.com to claim your creepy doll!

Episode 336: Sleep Animals

Aww, Space Cadets, we got some sleepy animals for you today! And some smart animals that definitely know their names! Sooo.... speaking of sleepy, indeed, this episode description is. Ok! This episode, we're talking about how cats know their names and so do dogs, we got a Jack the Ripper Unshelved Mystery (whoosh, there goes the dust), we got a sleep study where you get to choose an animal, we got some great news about a recently developed malaria vaccine, and we got a little teeny stuff on voting! Are your breasts akin to any specific canine breed? Or would you want to do an SoT book club with us? If either/or, drop us a line at jimmyspaceboy@gmail.com! We'd love to hear from you. 

Music today: "Rushes of Pure Spring" by Ladybug Transistor.
