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!
May 02, 2019
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.

Episode 335: Scientists
Ah, Space Cadets.... we're shuffling papers, we're cold but still sweating, we're woefully underprepared--oh, wait, no, that's just me, HZ! Ross is on point (and en pointe) as always! SO--kicking it off with a warning to those of us who fake smile alll the time and moving right into some good news for LGBTQIA+ kids and teachers! Quick break for an unofficial TMBG DAS "All the Lazy Boyfriends" and we're back with a discussion of Autism Awareness! Short and sweet, huh? I think I need a shower now.....
April 11, 2019
Episode 334: Bloody Nature
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 so go right now and get yourself some treats! Baby Louis Satancakes, if you're listening, those Chick-o-Sticks were delicious.... <3
Music from Lee Chabowski's awesome band The Modern Airline with "Monster on the Campus" (live on WFMU)!
April 04, 2019
Episode 333: Technical Difficulties Pt. II
Welp.... we were going to have a really fun show today with Lee Chabowski calling in and we were going to talk all about his cool new thing "Bloody Nature" available here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUMIpJdiJww3Y2xcwUEfERQ and all his neat and awesome projects. And then the phones went down. So, instead, we're talking.... yes! Women's issues!! 7 ways the world isn't made for women PLUs a lively conversation about what's going on with Cardi B.! It's a pretty good ep overall but, still--next week, we're going to talk to Lee and it's going to be awesome!
Music: "Live by the Ocean" by Papas Fritas.

Episode 331: Full Worm Moon
Oh yeah, it's the Vernal (not Venal, Ross!) Equinox and a Full Worm Moon to boot and we're back with an all new Sound of tomorrow for YOU! We got moon news complete with witchcraft tips for ll your Wiccan needs, we got an Unshelved Mystery (whoosh!), we got some fake old meats, and we got an Ozone Update!

Episode 330: Drill Brush
What? A Wednesday without a weather emergency in Rochester, NY? Can it be? Yess...... so we're entirely on point this week (and also en pointe, BTS), right? Nope! Because the time changed! Still, though, The Sound of Tomorrow is coming through with some HOT PICKS, a dog walk warning, and some pseudoscience news for you! That fake meat thing we keep talking about? Probably never going to get to it.
Today's song is "House of Ghosts" by The Squires of the Subterrain, the Official Band of the Sound of Tomorrow. Grab their new CD "Radio Silence" available March 18 at squiresofthesubterrain.com or wherever you purchase all your finest music.

Episode 329: Brain Problems
Oh boy.... wow. Yeah. Sorry Space Cadets! After a very funny skit, this week's all new Sound of Tomorrow went quickly off the rails as both Ross and Heather completely forgot how to speak! But they still kept tryin'. SO--on todays exciting and extra-flakey show, we're talking about the fun thing Ross did last week! We're talking Problematic! We're talking.... more Problematic! And Seanan McGuire has a new book out!
TMBG DAS: Climbing the Walls LIVE at XM Studios!
Phew....
February 28, 2019
Episode 328: Snowday Part 4
All right, I gotta keep this short--it's shoveling time. Again. In today's exciting episode of The Sound of Tomorrow, Ross offers up what purports to be kitty news but turns into a discussion of the US healthcare system! We're doing a quiz! Heather takes a bold stance against tomb desecration! And there's even an Amelia Earhart Update all before the music break! After checking out "English Electric" by The Cleaners from Venus, we're back with some delicious Oumuamua t and a discussion of anger. Everyone, seriously congratulate Ross on not breaking during the skit. He nailed it!
February 21, 2019
Episode 327: Darren DeWispelaere
Today on this all new Sound of Tomorrow, we have special guest Darren DeWispelaere in the studio! Once we get the intervention out of the way, it's time to talk about allll Darren's bands up to and including Ian Downey is Famous! Jan the Actress! Veluxe! Disintegration! IDIF has a big show coming up this Saturday, February 23, 2019 at Skylark Lounge on S. Union where they'll be celebrating the release of their brand new record "Destroy Language!"

Ross presents some lady news and Darren shares a tale of illicit backroom VCR heist dealings.
February 14, 2019
Episode 326: Smooch Smooch Horsie Sauce
It's Valentine's Day Eve and our hearts are warm but our fingers are icy.... because Rochester, NY is covered in ice. Sigh. BUT! That doesn't stop us from zipping through topics at a breakneck speed! We got period emojis! We got the last words of the Opportunity Rover and then we cry just a little bit again about it because we've already cried about it today! We got some Hot Picks! We're late on the middle break but it's "Sing You a Love You Song" by of Montreal and then we're back for... well, yeah, you know we can't just be lighthearted... we're talking about blackface and slavery myths right until we pretty much lose ever last ounce of energy in last five minutes. Happy Valentine's Day, International Crab Cakes! And remember: My battery is low and it's getting dark.
February 07, 2019
Episode 325: 7000 Hot Listeners
Well well well, we're on the road to fame and fortune, finally!, on today's all new Sound of Tomorrow! After reveling in the great news about our big break. we're talking about.... a whole load of nonsense, to be honest. We brought topics, really, we did! But Ross talks about going to the doctor for a while and Heather may or may not have had xrays when she was a kid and oh dear. We try to bring it back with a tirade about how everyone can just stop telling women to smile but, really, it's time to hear TMBG with "The Cap'm." The second half goes just completely off the rails as we launch our new segment "Pancake Fail." Maybe we redeem ourselves with some vaccine news realness at the end? But I doubt it. Thanks to all you hot listeners out there!
January 31, 2019
Episode 324: Polishing Our Auras
Hey, wow, it's cold in Rochester, NY and we're doing our level best to move our frozen jaws for you! In this week's show, we kick it off talking about the fun Drag Brunch we went to and then it's time for cheese. Ross fills in the last of the first segment talking about shows he's starred in and we're off to listen to "Coldest Day" by Madness. Because we can't just babble for the entire time, we're back for part 2 with trans youth studies and the new trend affecting women in the workplace. For the love of all that is holy, someone please make it less cold here! Please!
January 24, 2019
Episode 323: Our Feet Are Wet
Yep. Before the show, our feet got wet. So we're cold and not thinking quite right! But nevertheless, it's a brand new Sound of Tomorrow! We kick it off talking about Heather's headshot gone awry (with unplanned social commentary!) and then we're on to talkin' 'bout things we've seen. But you know we couldn't ignore it so, before the slightly belated break, we managed not to call those MAGA sh!ts anything we can't say on the air. Yay us! After taking a little listen to "Strange Weather" by Tom Waits, we're back with an article we both brought on how to talk to kids--or maybe even everyone--about body image! Now could someone please get us some dry socks?
^Not SoT feet.
January 17, 2019
Episode 322: Virtue Signaling
It's an icy day in Rochester, NY, but that doesn't stop us from being back with an all new Sound of Tomorrow! We kept on track, miraculously, with a discussion in the first half (ish) about virtue signaling and call-out culture and and clutter/TV talk in half (ish) two! Chris Fanning, I'll be right over to wake up those books for you!
Middle break was "What a Wonderful World" by Major Organ and the Adding Machine. Huzzah!
January 10, 2019
Episode 321: How the Radio Sausage Gets Made
HZ here! In today's exciting episode, we're banging out of the gates with the unplanned topic of how Rochester has made the national news after a local meteorologist clearly and blatantly uttered a racial slur on live TV! For more on this, here's a link to Chris Thompson's blog post I mentioned: https://540westmain.org/2019/01/09/more-than-one-cockroach-guest-blog-by-chris-thompson. This springboards us into a tax discussion followed by more on PC Culture. Truly, I cannot wait for the people who tell me they can't say anything anymore to tell me what it is they'd like to say. After the break, we've some some food and not nearly enough on cheese. The takeaway: alcohol is health food.
Because there's nothing like a grown woman still crying over the death of a pop star, today's middle break is Dollar Days from David Bowie's Blackstar. Yes, I did cry while listening to it and I will again.
January 03, 2019
Episode 320: Happy 2019
It's a brand new year and the SoT is back in the studio at WAYO! Kicking it off talking about Heather's whacky party traditions and then moving into New Year's resolutions (whaaaaa? We made New Year's resolutions? Well, kind of.), there's a little blip of science news before it's time to hear Happy New Year, Baby by Jo Ann Campbell! We're back in time to talk about grudges for a bit and then Ross breaks his top-of-the-show resolution by bringing in politics. You know we can't help it!
December 27, 2018
Episode 319: Her Affected Voice
Happy Boxing Day, Space Cadets! In this final SoT of 2018, we're talking about some feedback we (i.e., Heather) received, policing of women's voices, and internalized misogyny! So--business as usually, really. But we lighten it up at the end with a little RuPaul ReCap so all is not lost. Not yet! Happy new year and we'll be back in 2019 with more of the same old SoT nonsense you've grown to know and love! Or not..... <3
December 20, 2018

Episode 317: XMas DJHZ
Happy Holidays, Space Cadets! As has happened in past years, we're not in the studio today because we're getting all decorated and finishing up the shopping for next week's big Sound of Tomorrow Holiday Spectacular! So, until then, please enjoy our gift to you: a special DJHZ holiday mix! CW: it gets a little maudlin. I'm so sorry. I guess it's just that sometimes *I* get a little maudlin! But y'all knew that already.

Episode 315: Golden Record
Space Cadets, HZ here. So, the record wasn't the thing with the drawing of the naked people on it; the naked people are on the Pioneer Plaques from the Pioneer 10 and 11 launches. So, yeah, I'd been saying a plaque would be less weird! And I was right! BUT--credit where it's due, I'm not the one who just wanted the entire damned Voyager documentary AND bought his husband a replica of the golden record (The Sounds of Earth, it's called, turns out. Have fun building your Crosley replica, extraterrestrials!) so, ummm. ANYWAY! Today we're coming at you with Space News! Holiday decor tips from the White House! And Opinion Studies! Did we mention it's also very cold? xoxoH
TMBG DAS: Door to Door Minotaur
November 22, 2018
Episode 314: Thanksgiving 2018
Happy Thanksgiving, Space Cadets! In today's very special cornucopia grab bag, Heather's in full critter mode and can't even play her favorite Celibate Commandos Thanksgiving carol and Ross is busy blowing up the internet with his wild talk about how it's actually going to be ok if George R. R. Martin never wraps up that Game of Thrones thing he's been doing! Also: stochastic terrorism and tips for sprucing up your TG feasty festive table! Ughhh....
TMBG DAS: "Dunkin Of Course of Course."
November 15, 2018
Episode 313: Betty White at WAYO!
Ah, it's winter, Space Cadets..... BUT--after a brief paeon to the joys of snow and a remembrance of Stan Lee, our little hearts warm up as Betty White joins us in the WAYO studios! Due to contractual obligations, she's unable to actually speak on the air but, wow, she is sooo sweet and we really enjoyed having her there! And she really liked how we were talking about SCIENCE! That's right: we got alien probes, we got Neanderthals, we got Bone Science (Ross! Stop giggling!), and we got the kilogram! Planck challenge, anyone?
TMBG DAS: Ampersand
November 08, 2018
Episode 312: Catching Up
We're back in the WAYO LP Rochester studios for an all new Sound of Tomorrow! Since it's been a while, we're doing some catching up but you better believe we've got some voting talk and a few good tirades! That plus news from Rhode Island and several HOT PICKS! BTW--The Coasters did "Charlie Brown." Thanks for texting that over, John, and sorry we didn't see it during the show!
TMBG DAS: I've Been Seeing Things

Episode 310: DJ Halloween HZ 2018
Space Cadets! While Ross and I are back on the Spacebridge preparing for new week's Spooktacular 2018, please enjoy this Halloween spooky song DJ mix I put together just for YOU! Like what you're hearing? If so (or if not, come on, be a sport!), please go on over to donate.wayofm.org and give what you can to the WAYO 2019 fundraiser! Truly, it will mean so very much to us and we'll love you forever and ever! xoxoH

Episode 309: Luc Thiers
Space Cadets, it's our first show of the 2019 WAYO fundraiser and we have a very special treat for YOU! Can you see him? No? Then I'll just tell you it's comedian Luc Thiers! We're so glad to have Luc with us today to kick off the fundraiser in fine style! And do some push ups, too! We're doing challenges, we're singing songs, we're Chatting Cats (Luc's cat Coco is sooo cute!)!

October 11, 2018
Episode 308: Duuude
Duuuuuude, the Sound of Tomorrow has gone completely off the rails this week and, really, isn't it about time? In this fractured episode, we're talking about Alaska's fattest bears and how Heather yearns to be one, we're talking 'bout wild vacations, we're talking about book. Then, holy heck, could it be time for the TMBG DAS already! Why yes, it is! "Flo Wheeler" here to entertain and mystify! The second act brings a wee little voting reminder and lots of great advice for raising your children courtesy of Slate.com and two childless individuals. Phew.... did we mention we're tired?
October 04, 2018
Episode 307: Goblin Boop Boop
Welcome, Space Cadets, to an entirely off the rails and completely new Sound of Tomorrow! This one is great because we kick it off in classic SoT style talking misogyny, rape culture, and voting but, after the TMBG DAS, we're onto a segment we call "Fun Stuff We Promise!" And fun it is.... we got space junk, we got junk junk, we got Pluto in a fancy dress strutting their planet stylee, we got new friends for Planet Pluto out there plus a Mars Rover Dream Date Candidate! Plus books! How do we even do it?!
TMBD DAS: "Thankful for Your Service."
September 27, 2018
Episode 306: Rape Culture
Well, Space Cadets, we have a tougie today.... Trying to kick it off light with talk if troubled dreams and a good news update about that group of disgusting anti-choice protesters we talked about last week, it's a quick and deep dive into a discussion of rape culture and the need to believe women. Just do it, ok--just believe women. If not for yourself and them, for us. Today's TMBG DAS is, appropriately, "Lake Monsters." There's no hypnosis like a mass hypnosis 'cause a mass hypnosis isn't happenin'.
September 20, 2018
Episode 305: La Crooooix
We got a pretty straightforward one for you today, Space Cadets! Ross is back from Hawaii so we are talking vacation time funtime! And stars, too! Let you think we've gone all soft, however, we're also pretty damned angry so.... You know.
The new TMBG DAS WAYO SoT intro is HERE! And this week's song is "The Communists Have the Music."

Whoa.... holy. Space Cadets. It's hot. It's so hot. So much effluvium..... so many miasma. But that's not stopping us from bringing you and all new Sound of Tomorrow today! Kicking it off with Tales from Fan Expo (Spoiler: everyone was really nice) and segueing seamlessly (nope. that's a lie) into a discussion of making spaces more comfortable for our non-binary pals, the first half even runs a week bit long!

Episode 302: Potpourri Part III
We're cleaning house on today's new Sound of Tomorrow, digging deep into our bags of saved-up notes and pulling out only the best leftovers for YOU! We kick it off with some follow up from past shows and then we're onto Conversational Narcissism (but aren't we always?). Note: we're not corporate shills for Olive Garden. After the TMBG DAS, Last Wave Alternate Version, we're back with books books book! Tossing out a few fun facts about weird or not so weird stuff people do in farewell, we gotta make make way for Music Matters! Because, indeed, it does.
August 23, 2018
Episode 301: Spacecat Spot
Hey, Space Cadet. Babe with the Power here. It's been a hell of a go lately..... But still, we solder on with a brand net SoT for you. Starting off sad (like, really sad. Like, I'm crying typing this.) with a eulogy for my beautiful Major Spot, the street cat toughie with a heart of gold. God particle, everyone is going to miss that guy.... We wipe away the tears and round out act one screaming into the void in classic SoT style. Got some leftover phone calls from 300 for the middle break and then we're off to the races with a discussion of trans men's perspectives on cultural sexism. I'll try to be not breaking down in some way next week but no promises!
He's looking out the window he managed to bust through for his big adventure! Aw, Totsy......
August 16, 2018
Episode 300: The 300th Show!
Ah, Space Cadets, we're practically breaking our arms patting ourselves on the back in this very special nearly-all-old Episode 300 of The Sound of Tomorrow! We have music, we have live show clips, we have the first skit we ever did as bitty baby podcasters, we had a whole lot more but the show is only an hour long! And it goes pretty quickly when we're laughing at our own jokes! Won't you laugh with us, too? In Episode 300, there's only a leetle Liberal Weenie bit at the top! After that, as the song says, the fun never ends. Until the show is done, that is.
August 09, 2018
Episode 229.5: Almost 300
Wellll, we didn't quite make it to 300 today, Space Cadets. You know how sometimes we can't quite get our stuff together? Yeah.... it was basically that. But all is not lost (no, not yet)! Episode 299.5 is here for YOU! We're talking thirsty thirsty science news! We're talking ROGUE PLANETS! We're talking privilege galore (robot-hugs.com)!

Episode 299: Fear of a Porn Planet
Here at episode 299, we've got a big show ready to go! We kick off the hour with tales on Heather's recent adventures (mostly swearing and screaming) and we keep right on that theme of swearing and screaming right into a discussion of how it might sound were we to try have a "civil" conversation with a racist. After the TMBG DAS "John Postal," we're back with sexxy doctors and a steamy discussion of porn (Haha, it's not steamy. Come on. You've heard us talk about porn before.).
Episode 300 is NEXT WEEK (unless we pull some kind of screwy numbering shenanigans again). Wanna do us a favor? Give us a call at 585-542-5502 and leave us a message! Say whatever you want! We'll do it in pre-prod so we can even bleep your swearsies! <3

Episode 296: Sorry, Thank You
We're back at the glamorous WAYO 104.3 studios with an all new Sound of Tomorrow! Kicking it off big with a discussion of A Trump Voter in Heather's Life (how angry are we all the time? Answer: very. All the time.) in Part 1, we lighten it up a little for Part 2 where we're talking about saying "thank you" instead of "sorry." It's nice idea, huh? And we wrap it all up with a big discussion of gendered voices on your GPS, your Siri, you Alexa, what have you. No--what have you? Looking for reccs.

Episode 294: Dirty Crevices
What's that you hear? The sweet sweet Sound of Tomorrow? That's right! We're back in the studio with our usual angry tirades plus.... BUTTS! In this exciting episode, after some primary election news, we discuss the recent spate of white women calling the police on black children who are doing NOTHING wrong. It's just racism, right? The answer is that simple? But don't worry! After the TMBG DAS "The Neck Rolls Aren't Working," we're back with, yes, as promised..... BUTTS! Space Cadets, do you suffer from Polished Anus Syndrome? You will no longer once you hear Ross's tips 'n' tricks for a clean and healthy anus. Because we're us, there's just a quick little end cap of in/civility to talk about (spoiler: we're tired of being nice all the time) and we're out!

Episode 293: Separated Families
Ah, Space Cadets.... you know we try to keep it light.... and we fail.... but we can't not talk about the thousands of children who have been ripped from their loving families are are currently being held in concentration camps. This is horrific and nauseating and, sad to say, exactly what the Trump supporters in my life wanted to happen.
Some resources on how you can help are listed here.
After the TMBG DAS "Insult to the Fact Checkers," we try to bring in a little fun with the return of SQUIRRELMOJI! Except there's not a squirrelmoji yet. Unicode!!! [shakes fist] Got a little confirmation bias politics stuff and we're out. Thanks for listening, everyone.

Episode 292: Incel Belle
Welp, it finally happened, Space Cadets. We both forgot how to think on the same exact day. So--welcome to an all new, all tail-chasing Sound of Tomorrow! Ross has donned his best rainbow Speedo for Pride and we're off to the races with a RuPaul Recap and a brand new topic: things kind of suck for cishet men, too. You didn't think we'd say it, huh? After the TMBG DAS "Corrupted Lyle," we're bringing it down ('cause you know we can't help it) talking about depression and what "get help" can sound like at look like at times. But the good news is you don't need to scrub your recyclables!!!
