Bob has issued a new heavenly decree: naps are now sacred law. If you’re upright for more than four consecutive hours, you’d better have an excuse signed by management.

In this episode, Bob explains why naps aren’t laziness but wisdom…little miracles that reset sanity, health, and perspective. From enforcing nap slips in Heaven to demonstrating the curl, the sprawl, and the glorious belly-up, Bob makes his case for rest as a necessity, not a guilty pleasure.

✨ Takeaway: On Earth or in Heaven, rest is power. Stop treating naps as indulgences. They’re fuel for the soul.

PS from JennySometimes the world glorifies exhaustion, but Bob reminds us that slowing down is an act of strength. I hope this episode gives you permission to rest…without guilt. 💛

My dearest friends on the internet,

It’s official: Bob Out Loud Season 2 has launched, and I’ve returned with…suggestions.

Yes, even Heaven isn’t perfect…and naturally, I found the Suggestion Box. My list? Improved snack rotations, a Designated Nap Zone, and proper regulation of sunbeams (because racing Chihuahuas for sunlight is beneath me).

But here’s the deeper truth: suggesting improvements isn’t discontent…it’s devotion. You improve what you love.

🎙️ In this episode, I’ll walk you through my heavenly notes, why harp music should be replaced by the sound of a crackling fireplace, and what all this means for your life on Earth.

Because perfection isn’t about ignoring flaws. It’s about caring enough to polish what you’ve been given.

Very truly yours,Bob

PS from Jenny

Thank you for being here for the start of Season 2. I never imagined this little podcast would grow into such a beautiful community, and I’m so glad you’re with us for the next chapter. 💛

Season 1 of Bob Out Loud began with a healthy, smug, orange-and-white tabby who had just been given a clean bill of health. None of us imagined that by the end of the very first season, Bob would be speaking to us from his new perch in heaven.

In this season finale, Bob reflects on the journey we’ve taken together…from his sharp-witted rules for living, to his pep talks, to his ongoing war against the vile. With humor and raw honesty, he reminds us that life can change in an instant. Health and happiness are fleeting, and sometimes the vile beast is mysterious, silent, and without explanation.

Bob’s message is clear: don’t wait. Tell your vile beasts, both animal and human, that you love them. Hold them close. Because while we can’t hold on to everything forever, we can hold on to each other.

Season 1 ends with gratitude, truth, and one final tail swish from Bob: love lingers louder than loss. Season 2 will begin next week!

Episode 12 is here, and Bob is tackling a subject humans obsess over far too much: legacy. Will we be remembered? How? Bob, of course, has it all figured out.

In A Cat’s Guide to Being Remembered, he delivers five snarky, foolproof lessons on how to leave your mark…from spreading fur in every possible crevice to establishing rituals humans can’t quit. It’s witty, sharp, and just sentimental enough to make you smile.

As always, it’s his words, my voice in less than 5 minutes.Listen now for Bob’s masterclass in immortality, complete with fur, sass, and sunbeam wisdom.

Think Heaven is all clouds and harps? Bob’s here to set the record straight. From customizable sunbeams to lap time with a 100% approval rate, he’s spilling the top five surprises about the afterlife—cat edition. Sass included.

In this week’s deeply personal episode, Jenny steps behind the mic solo for the first time since Bob’s passing to reflect on the quiet, powerful lessons she learned from her best friend. From loyalty and boundaries to naps and resilience, Bob’s legacy lives on in the truths he modeled every day without fanfare, and often with a grumble.

If you’ve ever loved someone with your whole heart—and had to learn how to keep going without them, this episode is for you.

Bob will be back next week in spirit, ready to share his signature snark, warmth, and wisdom from a slightly higher vantage point. Until then, Jenny shares her heart and Bob’s lasting impact with the community he built.

And you don’t need fixing either.
