    Heyyyy Space Cadets, we're back. There's going to be a gala for Rita Moreno here in Rochester! Will Ross wear his tux and go? Will Heather wear her evening gown and go? Probably not.... And then we're onto a segment called "Slavery in the USA: Not as Long Ago As You Were Taught (Or Even Not Taught Depending On When and Where You Went to School." Closing it out with some tips saving money and/or time.

  • The Sound of Tomorrow--Episode 618: Bra Fitting Aired: Wednesday, August 13, 2025

    We've got your Venn diagram of hateful and stupid on today's new Sound of Tomorrow! Here and across the pond, transphobia is apparently all the rage and we are utterly enraged. Tune in now for four distinct stories of bigotry and phobia. We're sorry. We've been trying to be upbeat bit, well--we're still The Sound of Tomorrow. 

  • The Sound of Tomorrow--Episode 617: Clankers Aired: Wednesday, August 6, 2025

    It's adventure time on The Sound of Tomorrow! After our glorious new theme song, we're on to tales of the weekend and a saga of CMAC. Heather has learned about USPS Informed Delivery and she does not like it. Then we're on to Clankers, yes, Max said we can say it on the radio so we do!! AI is....... maybe not so great. And that's about it for today's new Sound of Tomorrow.

  • The Sound of Tomorrow--Episode 616: National Cheesecake Friendship Day Aired: Wednesday, July 30, 2025

    Another day, another Sound of Tomorrow! Ross has something stuck in his craw (it's bad having something stuck in one's craw!) and, goddamn, yeah, it's a real problem. The Rochester Mountain Lion is back back back, babies, and Heather has some Cougar Facts (appropriate, right?). Then we're onto AI and, well? Then we're off to that new vegan spot, Sagebrush. 

  • The Sound of Tomorrow--Episode 615: Glucose Aired: Wednesday, July 23, 2025

    The new SoT Theme Song by the magnificent Adam Donnelly continues to knock Heather's socks off on today's new Sound of Tomorrow! Ross and Heather are pondering new things to learn and how they're not doing it, they're whining about the US healthcare system again, Ross is watching his glucose IN REAL TIME, plus a prebiotic soda class action settlement. 16 bucks, yo! 

  • The Sound of Tomorrow--Episode 614: Waiting for Superman Aired: Wednesday, July 16, 2025

    It's the dog days of summer and Ross and Heather have basically gone to the dogs so today? Yeah, we're talking dogs. And Superman! And Superman as a Queer Icon? Plus a firefly update and then a little absolute ennui like only the SOT can do. 

  • The Sound of Tomorrow--Episode 613: NEW THEME SONG ALERT Aired: Wednesday, July 9, 2025

    Wow wow wow, Space Cadets! We have a great new theme song done my Mr. Donnelly himself and we couldn't be happier! Check out his latest album at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dd-zcKz9aqU&list=OLAK5uy_mIctXoWiAAHXATB..., ok?? It's super good and we're even on it! On today's show, we're talking an Ilyana update (good news, knock wood!), superstitions, how to get my in these hotter temps, and commonly held misconceptions. Fun!

  • The Sound of Tomorrow--Episode 612: Fireflies Aired: Wednesday, July 2, 2025

    Summertime continues to roll on this all new Sound of Tomorrow. Heather has put in a garden and she's hoping for tomatoes! She's also learning all about fireflies and needs to tell Ross (and you) all about what she's learned. Ross has a report on Hetero Awesome Fest (spoiler: it was not awesome) and that is it for episode 612!

  • The Sound of Tomorrow--Episode 611: Two Young Bears Aired: Wednesday, June 25, 2025

    And we're back! After a long hiatus, Ross and Heather return united to the WAYO studios for a very "we forgot how to talk on the radio" episode. But talk we do. Rochester Broadway Theatre League and how they do a lot of movie musicals! ZooBrew: sad or no? Honey honey, honey. Latest TERF guidance is to take and disseminate photos of people while they're in the bathroom. And! Superman V The KKK. We didn't forget so badly after all.
