Change is Good
We're making new friends and keeping the old (one is silver and the other gold) on today's new Sound of Tomorrow even if Ross is refusing to do a round. After some catch up and talk about how awesome we and all of our friends and how we all look great, too, it's off to talk about the VP debate and fact v. opinion. We're as insufferable as this sounds but still--come on--tune in. You know you want to.
Monday was the 17th anniversary of The Sound of Tomorrow's first episode so, to celebrate, Heather has erased Ross and is instead basically doing an hour long ad for her other podcast! (20minutesintothefuture.org) But she's also playing some fun stuff for you so it's not all bad.
Don your finest caftans and get ready for another new Sound of Tomorrow! Today we're talking Mrs. Roper and Three's Company in general and then we realize Heather's in for a challenge because, if she does her Buy Nothing Challenge right, she can't buy a new caftan. But there's probably some secondhand ones around. Then whaaaat? Actual follow up from two weeks ago when we promised we'd let all you parents out there know what to do if it turns out your kid is the bully!!
We've got your good old DJHZ back at the console spinning some hinting toward Halloween tunes and more for you!

It's a new Sound of Tomorrow! Contrary to what Heather wanted to hear, Ross said "genealogy" and not "geology." More family stories and way fewer rocks. Spring-boarding from the topic for family history of mental illness, we're straight into Back to School stuff! And what stuff it is. More on this next week as we didn't even get to talk about what to do when your kid if the one who's the bully!
Another day, another Sound of Tomorrow! Today we promise some good silly fun and delve immediately into TERFism and problematic fandoms. We really can't be stopped can we? But then we swear! We bring in the fun with a Can You Believe It set of history facts! Closing it out with good old grocery shopping tips and it's a wrap. (Note from Heather: the show image would be the dinosaur one Ross was talking about if I weren't posting this from my work computer.)
Berry Puff Levant here with the Sound of Tomorrow news! On today's new ep, Ross has a few gripes that really aren't entirely gripes and Heather's adopting drag daughters left and right. A few condensed novels, some Indian Vultures, and Life on Mars and that about does it. Anyone got an 8 mile long straw? Because we are THIRSTY!
Well, we're all over the map on today's new Sound of Tomorrow. Heather's getting over covid (but testing negative! Come on US gov..... make with more tests!), there's a full blue supermoon Sturgeon, etc., moon on Monday (witchcraft!), there's a rooster on the looster (calling all foxes!), and Imane Khelif is suing JK Rowling for cyberbullying (we hope Imane Khelif wins her suit and lots of reparations!). A bit of a content warning on this one: toward the end, Ross tells of the recent loss of his beloved Ludovich. He was a Good Boy and so very very loved. If you want to hear both your hosts cry on air, now's your chance.
It's A DJHZ Summer, Space Cadets!

We've got your koala-fications right here on today's new SoT. Kicking it off strong with a tangent on STIs and koalas and then right on into SIFT method of verifying whether information you hear is true or false. We hadn't planned on much about Kamala Harris being the likely candidate for president but these things happen and .... maybe we're feeling a little hopeful somehow suddenly? Regardless----you know what we say: get out there and VOTE---no matter your stances---VOTE.
I was doing so well until I announced that a show that hasn't been on for ages was coming up next! Ahh. But at least I didn't let any swears on the radio. And you best believe I really truly almost played a whole darn lot of em. Phew!

Here she comes, Miss Time Science 2024.... and she's coming for Miss Information's tiara next! What? Oh hi. That's right! It's a new Sound of Tomorrow where we're hot right out the gates with a Hot Pick and a story from the very life of Heather. She'll keep you posted. Closing out the second half hour with a revisiting of logical fallacies. Ooo, yeah!
Ross is back and it's an exciting day for The Sound of Tomorrow! We're talking T-Shirts which is fun and then we're into some more grim areas. Ross has something in his craw and Heather has some laws to talk about. But we cap it off with a fan talk about the cool play Ross was in! So... typical SoT, really.
Wow, for all the little gaffs and forgetting how to speak, it may as well be your old DJHZ what's in the bag! But believe it or not, she's dead sober. Just realllly tired. Still. It's another "Ross is away and Heather will play.... CDs for you" music mix!

Kicking it off with a little "How we spent our Fridays," it's a new Sound of Tomorrow. We stayed on topic pretty well today so stay tuned for lots of artichoke razzing and some way less fun stuff about what JK Rowling's giving the thumbs up to now.
It's chaos, Space Cadets, pure, off the wall hijinkery. But nothing can keep Ross and Heather apart, not late-running work meetings, not construction, not even the deluge! After the tiniest, miniest, mini-DJ set, Ross arrives and we take right off with snack chat, Reader's Digest, space news, a bear? What can you feed your dogs? And why is TV? Like we said: pure, off the wall hijinkery.
Holy cats, Space Cadets, we're back and we're ready to bicker some more!! After brainstorming a hit Hallmark Christmas Classic, we're talking about dogs on planes. Then it's off to travel tips and, alas, a JK Rowling update. Sorry to all you disappeared bi folks. Sorry to Taylor Swift for the vicious NPR slam.
Wow, Space Cadets, it's Suddenly Summer in Rochester and we love it but we're also...... Hot 'n' Bickery! But it's all in good fun! In this exciting episode, we talk about our weekends (wrestling match. improv troupe. a party. Look at us go!). Heather outlines her Adventures in Healthcare (HZ here---anyone wanna come and look at my back? I'd really like someone to check it out.). More news on why AI is bad. And then another loop on back to healthcare! Not bad at all.....
OMG it's Ross's birthday!!! To celebrate, he's come to WAYO after work like he does every Wednesday. But at least there was cake. Today we're off script (what's new) with some scary political stuff and a JK Rowling update (spoiler: it's just sad, bad news) and then we're on to brain worms! That Venn diagram about us being at the intersection of apocalypse and still having to go to work is looking pretty accurate right now, isn't it?
We've got a fun one today! Kicking it off with an epic Hot Picks sesh and then we're skipping the brain worms because Heather has an NPR piece relevant to some very current things that have happened in her life.
It's an all new Sound of Tomorrow and you know what that means! More pickup lines from Reader's Digest. We've also got some WAYO inside baseball (we will remember now to touch the thing knowingly....) and, while we're touching things knowingly, we're making plans for a PowerPoint Anal Sex Party! After that: gay math and how to try to feel just a little bit happier.
Oh boy oh boy, Space Cadets! Ross has been traveling and drinking those gay bar drinks and fighting with strangers at restaurants! And Heather wants to hear ALL about it! Plus, have you ever considered living with a roommate? Maybe you do live with a roommate? If so, we have some tips for you and a little insight into what it would be like to live with us, too (Spoiler: it would be bad. You would be sad.). All this and nothing more on today's new Sound of Tomorrow!
It's an all new Sound of Tomorrow but Heather's still rolling out her pick up lines from Reader's Digest! Are you from Toledo? Because you're the only toe I..... lido. Um, yeah, needs some work. We've go Twitter happenings (not good) and gardening tips (good) and that's about it? Tune in anyway. We're always a good time!
We're back live in the studio with a brand new episode! Talking about our travels and what we did for the big eclipse (Norse cosplay. It was Norse cosplay.). We also calculated the new lunar time scale and, what? More Madonna? You know it.
Grab your coziest blankets and get ready to take a snooze because your DJHZ is here with all the sleeps and dream you could want.

We're OOO so DJ Ross is taking the helm with a Mega Madonna Mix!!
1. Madonna - American Life
2. Madonna - God Control
3. Madonna - Devil Pray
4. Madonna & Joe Henry - Guilty By Association
5. Madonna - Impressive Instant
6. Madonna - Body Shop
7. Madonna - Till Death Do Us Part
8. Madonna - Sooner or Later
9. Madonna & Anitta - Faz Gostoso
10. Madonna - Back That Up to the Beat
Well..... grab yourself a big bowl of beef stew and some biscuits because it's Sound of Tomorrow time! There's a cadaver in Heather's tap water. It was bound to happen. We have caller in to talk about it and then Ross has more premium Panspermia content! Welcome to our new SoT mascot, Panspermy!! Look out for the Devil Comet and Eclipse coming soon (wear your Eclipse glasses for the latter!). And then everything is horrible again.
It's the Sound of Tomorrow! Ross wants to know where Kate Middleton is. Heather, as usual, has no clue but she still won't shut up about the Glass Spider Tour and Viktor Manoel. Have you seen anyone Waack? Then we're somehow even getting gayer. And finally? The sad truth about how short the path from TERF to Holocaust Denier really is.
Well, it's a show..... Space Cadets! Today we're talking and traders and Traitors, we've got an orange in a sock, anyone know how we can get on reality TV? Heather has remembered how to transfer calls to the console. Panspermia! Wooly mammoths. Oh, RuPaul.... come on.

Don your red petticoats, Space Cadets, because it's Leap Day! We've got little known Leap Day traditions, Ross pronouncing German words, Heather taking a stab at some other not-English, and plenty of talk about the upcoming nuptials. Plus! Things Reader's Digest (A Trusted Friend in a Complicated World) says no one says anymore but we kind of think we still say some of the stuff.
Got a little mixed bag here on today's Sound of Tomorrow. Ross has a Madonna update, thank goodness, and Heather has some Bowie-related research to add to that. Then we're going to hospice care. Not into hospice care. Not yet. Just covering the topic. Here's hoping some day our insurance will recognize our eyes as being parts of our bodies!
Hey Space Cadets, are you the acid to our litmus paper? Because every time we meet you we turn bright red. Happy Valentine's Day! For you, our sweet little sweeties, we have an actually fun ep where we're talking about masturbation (don't get too aroused--its still us talking about it. Remember our show on porn?) and we have some premium Sexy Single Seniors (old folks, not high schoolers, to be clear) content straight from Heather's new favorite site: Reader's Digest online (A Trusted Friend in a Complicated World).
We're back with another exciting Sound of Tomorrow! After a very brief discussion of Taylor Swift, it's an Amelia Earhart Update! Ross has an excellent queer history lesson for everyone. And then..... fur and leather: the quandary.
Welp, it's finally happened. Electric cars are ganging up to take down the electric grid in [town name here]. Prepare for the rolling blackouts. It's a nationwide frenzy that's absolutely not true, all on today's new Sound of Tomorrow. Also: butter coffee.
It's a new day and a new Sound of Tomorrow! We're all hopped up on Pizza Wizard and Ross is still talking about Madonna! And Heather still has OCD. But not quite as bad now.
The temperature is cold but the Sound of Tomorrow is HOT in today's new episode!! Ross has tales of seeing Madonna and, wow, was she great!! And get your bingo cards ready (DON'T do the drinking game!): Got a list of all the stuff Trump is promising to do if (when) reelected in 2024. Will any of the items dissuade the Trump voters in Heather's life from casting a ballot for him? Probably not.
It's the Sound of Tomorrow! For those of you who care about moon stuff, it's the first new moon of 2024 on 1/11/2024. Get your black salt ground or whatever it is you have in mind. In today's episode, we're talking about Madonna and all the gross ageism and sexism directed so openly toward the ultra famous, talented, and successful mega-star. Also--we're mad at the Pope. Go figure. Til next week, stay aroused, Space Cadets!
It's a new year and a new Sound of Tomorrow! Or, not really.... we're still up to our usual antics. In this exciting first show of 2024, we're looking up arena sizes and talking about big show, we've got some generational commentary, and we're debunking NPRs projected tech trends for the new year. Also, Heather really is horrible at fantasizing.
We're ending 2023 right, Space Cadets, with an extended cut of us talking about being aroused. It's the show kick off you've been waiting for! Then into some Resolutions Lite, some really sad bad scam updates, and a little climate cheeriness to end on a high note. Thanks for sticking with us the whole year through and we'll see you all again in 2024!
It's solstice time, Space Cadets, and don't forget the last full moon of the year, the Cold Moon, on Tuesday December 26! On today's SoT, we've got solstice facts and proof of Heather's ever unraveling grip on the nature of time. We've got the confederate monument. And we've got yet another new scam!
Oh the weather outside is frightful, but the SoT is still delightful. On this week's episode, we're talking about tipping, we have some updates and musings on dogs, hey, yo, don't donate to The Salvation Army! They're all around bad! But we have a few suggestions for better places (Heather here with a note: The South Wedge Food Pantry is now called The People's Pantry if you're looking for it.). Stay warm, y'all, and remember: everyone just wants cash.
It's that time again--time for new Sound of Tomorrow! In this exciting episode, we're talking about travel! We're talking about odds and ends! That's right: we've got friendliest cities, we've got the word of the year, and we've got Norman Lear. What we don't have is Heather's voice but that's ok. She's just hoarse from all the laughing.
It's cold in Rochester, NY, Space Cadets, and you know what that means! Ross and Heather are CRANKY!! We're worried about new respiratory illnesses--especially the canine one. Ross doesn't like that Heather and her [made up author name here] guy say The Blue Zone is a lie, and Heather's somehow got it in for any blankets that aren't on a proper bed. Get ready for 6 more months of our frozen flailing!
Guuurl.... It's a new Sound of Tomorrow and, in a headline that smells a little like James Madison's crystal flute, we're talking about the uproar and outrage about the recent reclassification of Roman emperor.. empress? Elagabalus. And also the fabulous utopia Elegapolis, werk! More nuanced and interesting is moving onto a discussion of Louisa May Alcott and her many times over stated male identity. Heather learned a lot today, that's for sure! Closing it out with a bit on more scams to watch out for and into the night we go!
It's a new Sound of Tomorrow but Heather has the same old cramps. Or, different? Worse? Or the worse ones are back? Perimenopause is something else, y'all. We'll check with Suzanne Sommers and get back to you. Otherwise, we're mostly talking scams and punching teens with a little AI throw in to spice things up. The Beatles are overrated! Come at us. We're in fighting shape from punching all those teens.

We did it!! With your support, we achieved the WAYO 2024 Fundraiser goal! But there' s still time to donate! Donate.wayofm.org is the place to be!
In the exciting episode of the Sound of Tomorrow, we're accidentally destroying the studio, we're talking about film fests and regionalisms (and made up vocabulary) and tai chi! Plus a super secret hidden little moon. Aw.
Space Cadets, it's time! Open up those wallets and give generously (according to your means) to the WAYO 2024 Fundraiser!! Get some swag and feel great about yourself by supporting WAYO and The Sound of Tomorrow for another year!! In this exciting episode, of course we're talking about the fundraiser! Also, did you know that the WAYO studio is haunted? We found out today. Hm. Even scarier, Ross refuses to set up a movie date with Heather. Whyyyy? And, while you're donating so generously, think about buying some cake mix for your local food pantry.
