    Affordable Luxury!
    Jul 21 2025
    What goods and services have you been curious about (or longing for) but holding off on because you figured that they were reserved for those with more resources or disposable income than you?

    Wellllll, perhaps we can discuss something today that will give you the freedom to reevaluate :)

    -

    Also, in what may be the first instance of this since we finished the 300 albums series, we spent so much time on topic content that we had to move the poem to written format instead! Thanks for your patience with this ;)


    -Poetry Time-

    How to Be Hopeful

    by Barbara Kingsolver


    Look, you might as well know,
    this device is going to take endless repair:
    rubber cement, rubber bands, tapioca,
    the square of the hypotenuse,
    nineteenth-century novels, sunrise—
    any of these could be useful. Also feathers.
    The ignition is tricky. Sometimes
    you have to stand on an incline
    where things look possible. Or a line
    you drew yourself. Or the grocery line,
    making faces at a toddler, secretly,
    over his mother's shoulder.
    You may have to pop the clutch
    and run past the evidence. Past everyone
    who is praying for you. Passing
    all previous records is ok, or passing
    strange. Just not passing it up.
    Or park it and fly by the seat of your pants.
    With nothing in the bank, you will
    still want to take the express. Tiptoe
    past the dogs of the apocalypse
    asleep in the shade of your future.
    Pay at the window. You'll be surprised:
    you can pass off hope like a bad check.
    You still have time, that's the thing.
    To make it good.

    Thank you so much for being here,

  • “Let It Happen”

    “Let It Happen”
    Jul 18 2025
    It’s a Song of the Week!

    I am so excited to present to you this brand new music-centered feature on the show.

    Last year we had a blast (my word) listening to 300 albums and discussing them together. Ever since I have known that we were going to get back to holding space to talk specifically about music on the pod, regularly.

    And just about a year after we started that massive undertaking, the time is now!!

    So instead of album after album, we’re going to talk about ONE SONG AT A TIME.

    -

    This week’s SEVENTH installment song is by Artist: Tame Impala (I think I may have said during the episode that this is the sixth, but I was mistaken. Whoops!)

    And is called “Let It Happen.”

    It’s from their album Currents.

    Listen to it on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track...

    Watch the album promo I mentioned: https://youtu.be/nfmJilbZCas?s...

    Watch the official video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/pFptt7Cargc?s...

    You can also grab a preview on my IG @whereschloe; it’s up on the profile.

    There is no hierarchy; these songs are going to be in basically a random order, chosen for reasons that I’ll most likely expound upon within the episode. Along with an array of background, inspirations, time frame, album order, cultural context, related themes, personal experiences, etc.

    Any genre artist decade that I would listen to is up for grabs and who’s to know what will be next and why? ;)

    Remember your favorites.
    Discover something new.

    One song of the week at a time for however long works.

    I’m ELATED that you’re along for the ride,

    Please Don’t Touch
    Jul 17 2025
    Increased Summer travel means staying in hotels (or other short term accommodations) for lots of people. And in those places, you are NOT in charge of regular cleaning and things can fall along various point of the cleanliness spectrum.

    Listen, I’m not trying to freak you out (I’m not trying to freak you out!) but let’s take a look a some of the places you should be extra mindful of touching (or not touching) when you go to stay someplace that’s not your own home.

    And then enjoy your trip!

    So glad you’re here,

    Ever wonder ;) about various professions that you interact with regularly - food service, healthcare, education, etc - and if there’s any behind the scenes info you might not be privy to?

    Oh but there is! I definitely want to come back to this topic, but let’s start today.

    So glad you’re here!

  • Unusual Fears 4

    Unusual Fears 4
    Jul 15 2025
    We continue forward with talking about the rare and unusual phobias that some have been born with or developed along the way.

    Keeping in mind that although learning about such things can obviously be a point of interest, it’s also an opportunity for enhanced or increased empathy. To give yourself a way to see life from someone else’s perspective, and attempt to understand.

    It’s going to be alright; I’m glad you’re here,

    What’s *Good* About Aging?
    Jul 14 2025
    Most ppl think of the things that go along with aging as an inevitable recipe for decline. But it doesn’t have to be so! There are improvements afoot as you consider the blessing it can be to continue to be alive.

    Let’s look at some of them.

    So glad you’re still here,
