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.....
^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!

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.
August 22, 2019
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."
August 15, 2019
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.
August 08, 2019
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?
August 01, 2019
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!
July 25, 2019
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!

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?
July 11, 2019
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!
July 04, 2019
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.
June 27, 2019
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!
June 20, 2019

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?
June 06, 2019
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.
May 30, 2019
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!
May 23, 2019
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!
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.
March 28, 2019
Episode 332: Springtime DJHZ

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!

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 318: The 2018 Holiday Spectacular!

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

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....

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?

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!

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?
