Past Episodes

  • The Sound of Tomorrow--Episode 628: Crunchin' Up The White House Aired: Wednesday, October 22, 2025

    It's nearly the WAYO 2026 Fundraiser and the fate of soundoftomorrow.com remains up in the air so let's go time traveling back to 1970s David Bowie with Janelle Monae. That certainly sounds preferable to being here in 2025. Yeah, the nation's president is ordering the White House demolition and tweeting AI clips of him pooping all over US citizens. Keeping it classy, as usual, is what we're saying. And also---you probably need a new mattress.

  • The Sound of Tomorrow--Episode 627: Mustache Ring Light Aired: Wednesday, October 15, 2025

    Whoo-wee, Space Cadets, it's a new Sound of Tomorrow and a new mustache for Ross! Will this year's WAYO fundraiser include a Best Mustache Pageant? Wait a week or so and you'll find out for yourself! Heather got vaccinated and had to fight for her shots which is why she usually sticks to beer. Ross has a lovely letter. And everyone! Get thee too a library stat!!

  • The Sound of Tomorrow--Episode 626: Bottle In Front Of Me Aired: Wednesday, October 8, 2025

    Pardon Heather's coughing, Space Cadets. She's in a bad way. And may be in a worse way of she gets all the vaccines she's signed up for next week (worse in the short run; better in the long run). So we're talking 2025 covid Booster FAQ. Why does it have to be so hard? And we've got some horrible news about conversion therapy. But Ross is rockin' a new dirtbag stash! Oolala Daddy!

  • The Sound of Tomorrow--Episode 625: Shark Eater Aired: Wednesday, October 1, 2025

    Welp, Space Cadets. It's happened. The Sound of Tomorrow files we've amassed over the past 18 years are in our possession (phew!) but no longer is the entire collection available unless you come to one of our houses which..... you'd probably like to but we don't answer our phones nor our doors.

  • Episode 624: Bye Bye Archives Aired: Wednesday, September 24, 2025

    That's right, the site we've been loading files to for the past 18 years is packing on up and calling it a day! Ross is not sad about this and Heather is. But fear not! We have the files and we can rebuild it. Maybe. We think. In time. Until then, enjoy this final (from this site) fresh new Sound of Tomorrow where we've for the eye doctor update and lots of good info on how to keep your mental health healthy, or try, during time when everything is really actually truly awful. 

  • Episode 623: My White Son Aired: Wednesday, September 17, 2025

    On today's very unprepared Sound of Tomorrow, Heather is caffeine deprived and Ross has a sore back AND was almost late because of gol-durned traffic! But Heather didn't have to DJ after all (phew). We somehow managed to pull it together for an interesting and informative talk how to hep keep your white son and mine from being radicalized online. Dizzy and aching, we still somehow made it work!

  • The Sound of Tomorrow--Episode 622: Sandra Bullock Aired: Wednesday, September 10, 2025

    We're so sorry to be the ones to tell you but Sandra Bullock and Kim Kardashian aren't going to friend you on Facebook. It's just another celebrity scam. If you hear from us, however, maybe? Maybe. But that also might be a scam. So be alert! And also be sure to watch your drinks.

  • The Sound of Tomorrow--Episode 621: Intimate Animal Experience Aired: Wednesday, September 3, 2025

    We've got your Fall Fun on today's new Sound of Tomorrow! We're talking adventures with bubble bath and other AI splendors. We are going to the petting zoo and also riding horses (and trains) but not hot air balloons. And we're getting some cute date ideas together so we don't just go dormant and hide in our homes while time swirls by so quickly around us. 

  • The Sound of Tomorrow--Episode 620: 1975 Aired: Wednesday, August 27, 2025

    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 619: By the Skin of Her Teeth (A DJHZ Mix) Aired: Wednesday, August 20, 2025

    There was a last minute change of plans for today's show so here's a DJHZ mix for you!
