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.
July 01, 2021
Episode 431: Losses
Starting off this week with an excellent story of someone handling their leaked sex tape with grace and style and moving into a sharp non-segue with a tale of Heather Buys a Car! Then we're talking music and stay tuned because Ross makes Heather cry! It's a real whirlwind on this week's new Sound of Tomorrow.
June 24, 2021
Rerun: DJ Heather Zajkowski (2016)
Your Favorite Co-Host, Ross Johnson is out of the office today so you're left with DJ Heather holding down the old airwaves. The DJ set's called something like "CDs I Found in My Car" or "Guess How Old I Am for These Are the Songs of My Youth" or sometimes the "Sound of Tomorrow Music Power Hour in the Shower" but don't let that stop you from tuning in! 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.
June 17, 2021
Episode 430: Ghost Throuple

June 02, 2021
Episode 428: Markers
In this exciting new episode of The Sound of Tomorrow, we get totally sidetracked talking about the nanny cam Heather has trained on herself for her most recent bout with insomnia! Who knew she and her demon lover spent so much quality time together? After that, it's TV TV TV featuring an awkward and uncomfortable discussion of Scarlet Adam's blackface photos on Drag Race Australia. We'll talk more about that next week!
May 27, 2021
Rerun: Malcolm Whitfield
I know, I know.... I was supposed to call this episode "Episode 224: Ross Has a Tiny Tiny Bladder." But we almost always name shows with guests after the guests! Because I'm lazy and it totally works! So--needless to say, this is a fun fun one today because we are joined in the studio by the one and only Malcolm Whitfield (www.malcolmwhitfield.com, if he's remembered to pay SquareSpace after all)! We're talking about what Malcolm's been up to and some personality stuff and we're refuting some of the anti-trans nonsense spouted by a certain Milo, no not the cat from Milo and Otis (Milo was the cat, right? I swear, I saw the movie but it's been a long time). Plus---a caller!!! We have it all on this week's Sound of Tomorrow.
Music today from Visionstain with "Wall O' Worry."

April 29, 2021
Episode 424: Smorgasbord IV
In this exciting Sound of Tomorrow, we're talking, yes, you guessed it, Covid 19 and how we've gotten our vaccines!

I've already forgotten! Lemniscate, post, please!
April 22, 2021
Episode 423: YouTube Criminals
Space Cadets! We got thrown in YouTube jail!! Who would have thought..... So, we talk about that for a while, we have a little Drag Race discussion, there's a Clover Lawn Update, we're pretty much just catching up, really. But there's also fascinating facts you won't want to miss!
April 15, 2021
Rerun: Bloody Nature
We liked this interview so much, we wanted to play it again!
We did it! Space Cadets, on this very special Sound of Tomorrow, we kick it off with a skit written by the fantastic Austin Rich (featuring an original track by good old HZ herself) and then, after a little black hole update, Lee Chabowski and Rick Brame from Bloody Nature (www.bloodynature.com) call in from their shooting trip in Florida! By shooting, we mean rolling film, of course. Sounds like host of Bloody Nature Dale Attenbrow is handling enough of the, like, gun shooting.... eek. It was a fun call, though, despite the bickering and we sure do hope Stacy is going to pull through! We bid Lee and Rick a fond farewell (stay safe, guys!) and, during the break, patch in, yes, the very writer of the very intro skit Austin Rich calling in from his tour of Oregon! Austin's in clubs, on the air all over the place, and selling all kinds of goodies over at wtbc.bandcamp.com
Music from Lee Chabowski's awesome band The Modern Airline with "Monster on the Campus" (live on WFMU)!
April 08, 2021
Episode 422: VaxPowers
Ahh, in this exciting episode, we're kicking it off hot right out the door with vaccine passports of all kinds! Then it's off to the lighter topic of Do We Even Know How To Socialize Anymore (not that I ever did), and we finish up with the much more serious charge of the lawsuit brought earlier this week against RPD.
April 01, 2021
Episode 421: The Devil's Ham
Ah, the Devil, it's a new Sound of Tomorrow! This episode, we're talking doughnuts! We're talking devils! Something about canned ham! We're talking.... I can't remember. Vaccines maybe? I really don't know, y'all. We recorded a couple days ago......
March 24, 2021
Episode 420: 20 Minutes Into The Future
The Sound of Tomorrow is hacked by the Max Headroom podcast Twenty Minutes Into The Future!
