Past Episodes

  • Episode 217: A New Year's Revolution Aired: Wednesday, January 4, 2017

    Oooh, Space Cadets, today we're taking our title from Ragan Chastain's recent blog posting of the same name on her excellent site danceswithfat.wordpress.com and we're talking about that blog posting, too! Once we have our revolutions in order, we're onto some civics and philosophy, so much so we have to save our social media news for the next episode! Too much content to cover? I say, yes, please!

    Music break today by The Quitters with "That's Cool, That's Trash."

  • Episode 216: The Week Between Aired: Wednesday, December 28, 2016

    Hi Space Cadets. HZ here, just finishing up my delicious and nourishing repast of soyloni and spicy cheese spread. Et voila, my compliments to the chef. In today's exciting Sound of Tomorrow, we're starting it off easy listening smooth jazz style with some holiday wrap up and a quick round of mansplaining from Ross. You know how he loves to do that and I think it's pretty cute, really. Once we're warmed up, it's off to the races talking pockets and fake fake news! 

  • Episode 215: Holiday Spectacular 2016 Aired: Thursday, December 22, 2016

    Space Cadets, join us for a weird and wonderful adventure of songs and stories in this very special all new Sound of Tomorrow holiday time spectacular. From all of us at The Sound of Tomorrow, we wish you a very happy holiday season and a wonderful new year!

  • Episode 214: Holly Jolly DJHZ Aired: Wednesday, December 14, 2016

    Space Cadets!!! It's that time of the year.... that's right. Time for a Holly Jolly DJ mix from your favorite (?) Babe with the DJ Power! So make yourself a cuppa hot chocolate (go ahead. spike it.), sit back, relax, and enjoy some holiday tunes from the very very echoey Spacebridge.

  • Episode 213: Lady Business, Part II Aired: Wednesday, December 7, 2016

    Space Cadets, remember back in March 2015* when we talked about lady business? Well, we're at it again! I know, I know... like we ever stopped. Anyhow! On today's all new all exciting all ladies all the time Sound of Tomorrow we've got PMS as a cultural malady and the question of popular holiday tune "Baby It's Cold Outside" date-rapey or not. Plus! Live, in studio theatre! You won't want to miss a word.

    Music break from They Might Be Giants with "Bills. Bills, Bills."

  • Episode 212: Social Media Aired: Wednesday, November 30, 2016

    In this exciting episode of the Sound of Tomorrow, Ross and Heather are talking social media, meditation, and voting. What's that? They promised lady stuff, too? Only so much they can get into in an hour, Space Cadets. Sit tight for next week! 

  • Episode 211: Thanksgiving 2016 Aired: Wednesday, November 23, 2016

    Happy Thanksgiving, Space Cadets. On this day and every day, we are grateful for you....

  • Episode 210: Talking Politics with Nick LeVasseur Aired: Wednesday, November 16, 2016

    The political talk continues on this week's all new Sound of Tomorrow but fear not, Space Cadets! It's not just Ross and Heather howling in pain this week. This week, they're joined by local comedian and all-around nice smart guy Nick LeVasseur for a more tempered, more enraged discussion of what's going on in the US and some possible reasons why.

    Music today from Little Jack Melody and His Young Turks with "America."

  • Episode 209: Politics Aired: Wednesday, November 9, 2016

    Oh boy..... Space Cadets, did you hear there was this election the other day? Yeah.... so did we. And we're trying our best to make sense of it all. But it's hard. So, if you want to hear two people trying to grab for any kinds of tools they can get their hands on to understand what happened with the US Presidential 2016 election, this is the show for you.

    If you're just looking for some good music, though, skip to the middle and enjoy "Genesee Queen" by Rochester's own The Fox Sisters!
