Past Episodes

  • The Sound of Tomorrow--Episode 577: No More Questions Aired: Wednesday, October 16, 2024

    On today's new Sound of Tomorrow, Ross has a lot of great stuff about elections and we even learn where the Monroe County Board of Elections is! You can google it, too. We're talking Prop One and how some folks like to spin unconditional love as abuse. And Heather feels seen in a somewhat surprising way.

  • The Sound of Tomorrow--Episode 576: The Magic Man Aired: Wednesday, October 9, 2024

    Space Cadets, have we got an episode for you! Heather has new cans (my cans!) and a Reader's Digest Update. Ross reports that the BBC honest and truly had to address the fact that people here in the US are running around saying the Deeps State Magic Man controls the weather (we're hoping the best for our fellow citizens in storm-afflicted areas--not making light of those folks' plight at all). Heather and Ross are working together with more Fun Facts about fact checking. And neither of them know how to pronounce Naloxone*!

  • The Sound of Tomorrow--Episode 575: Truthiness Aired: Wednesday, October 2, 2024

    We're making new friends and keeping the old (one is silver and the other gold) on today's new Sound of Tomorrow even if Ross is refusing to do a round. After some catch up and talk about how awesome we and all of our friends and how we all look great, too, it's off to talk about the VP debate and fact v. opinion. We're as insufferable as this sounds but still--come on--tune in. You know you want to.

  • The Sound of Tomorrow--Episode 574: The Body Bank (DJHZ) Aired: Wednesday, September 25, 2024

    Monday was the 17th anniversary of The Sound of Tomorrow's first episode so, to celebrate, Heather has erased Ross and is instead basically doing an hour long ad for her other podcast! (20minutesintothefuture.org) But she's also playing some fun stuff for you so it's not all bad.

  • Episode 574: The Body Bank (DJHZ) Aired: Wednesday, September 25, 2024

    Monday was the 17th anniversary of the Sound of Tomorrow so, to celebrate, Heather has erased Ross from the show completely and instead is taking an hour to basically promote her other show (20minutesintothefuture.org)! And play some fun stuff for you, of course.

  • The Sound of Tomorrow--Episode 573: Mrs. Roper Aired: Wednesday, September 18, 2024

    Don your finest caftans and get ready for another new Sound of Tomorrow! Today we're talking Mrs. Roper and Three's Company in general and then we realize Heather's in for a challenge because, if she does her Buy Nothing Challenge right, she can't buy a new caftan. But there's probably some secondhand ones around. Then whaaaat? Actual follow up from two weeks ago when we promised we'd let all you parents out there know what to do if it turns out your kid is the bully!!

  • The Sound of Tomorrow--Episode 571: Back to School, Pt. 6 Aired: Wednesday, September 4, 2024

    It's a new Sound of Tomorrow! Contrary to what Heather wanted to hear, Ross said "genealogy" and not "geology." More family stories and way fewer rocks. Spring-boarding from the topic for family history of mental illness, we're straight into Back to School stuff! And what stuff it is. More on this next week as we didn't even get to talk about what to do when your kid if the one who's the bully!  

  • The Sound of Tomorrow--Episode 570: Dinosauria Aired: Wednesday, August 28, 2024

    Another day, another Sound of Tomorrow! Today we promise some good silly fun and  delve immediately into TERFism and problematic fandoms. We really can't be stopped can we? But then we swear! We bring in the fun with a Can You Believe It set of history facts! Closing it out with good old grocery shopping tips and it's a wrap. (Note from Heather: the show image would be the dinosaur one Ross was talking about if I weren't posting this from my work computer.)

  • The Sound of Tomorrow--Episode 569: House of Acrolin Aired: Wednesday, August 21, 2024

    Berry Puff Levant here with the Sound of Tomorrow news! On today's new ep, Ross has a few gripes that really aren't entirely gripes and Heather's adopting drag daughters left and right. A few condensed novels, some Indian Vultures, and Life on Mars and that about does it. Anyone got an 8 mile long straw? Because we are THIRSTY!
