  • Bonus: The WAYO 2020 Fundraiser Party Aired: Saturday, November 9, 2019

    Hey Space Cadets! Just a little special bonus content for y'all! For the third year running, we at the SoT have had the absolute pleasure of teaming up with some of our favorite people ever, the good folx at Almost Tuesday to close out the final hour of the WAYO Fundraiser. To thank you all for your support, I thought it could be fun to post the audio of our loosey-goosey late night Sound of Tuesday/Almost Tomorrow. If nothing else, at least there's proof that Ross and I do actually exist outside the hour from 4-5 on Wednesdays. xoxoH

  • Episode 360: Beadnose, Call Me Aired: Wednesday, October 9, 2019

    Wow, we have a jam-packed show today, Space Cadets!  We start off with a few stories from Ross's super-fun college reunion (it's been five years already?! Time flies!) and then we're into the rules for our very impromptu contest! If you know Ross's secret and want an SoT swag bag (for real, we have them), send the name of his new D&D character to jimmyspaceboy@gmail.com! You've got until the 16th so act now! Then we're talking about the silly silly furor over a new cute doll line. After the break we've got menses! We've got fat bears!

  • Episode 359: Nnnrrrrrrrrrrr Aired: Wednesday, October 2, 2019

    Wow, Space Cadets, we are tired and wired on today's Sound of Tomorrow! Out of the gate (heh) ('cause they, like, have gates at airports, right?), Ross is trying out his new tight seven on airplane food! On to DND adventures and then back to.... travel? with a discussion of the confusing new NYS driver's licensing system and can we get on a plane or not? Don't trust us on this one--we're obviously confused. After the break, we're back with more on how to suss out whether that news you like is fake or not and then, blissfully, we're all headed home for naps! Success!

  • Episode 358: DJHZ..... Again! Aired: Wednesday, September 25, 2019

    While the Ross is away, the DJHZ will play..... more songs for you!

  • Episode 356: Big Beastie Knowledge Aired: Wednesday, September 11, 2019

    Why isn't this ep called Wilderness Tips, you ask? Because, ages ago, I'm pretty sure we had one named that after a Margaret Atwood book I no longer own, alas! Still---we got a kicker of a skit for you today, Space Cadets, ukes and everything for YOU! Then we're talking Green Army Men AND WOMEN (and also Enby soldiers, too, naturally!), residential Facebook sites (Welcome to city living, jerks!) and, frighteningly, a plan to monitor people with mental illness to prevent mass shootings (no..... please, no.).

  • Episode 355: Lazy Aired: Wednesday, September 4, 2019

    Nah... laziness isn't even a thing! Quit being so judgey! Leave that up to us, the profession Liberal Weenies. Spoiler alert, yes, we're talking laziness in the second half of the show but not before we talk about that Analog Award thing (what? I'm posting this later than usual. I can't be expected to remember everything we talked about, jeesh!) a discuss an NPR listicle on 7 ways to get out of debt! Fun fact: don't believe credit card companies when they say interest rates are high to motivate us to pay them back more quickly; buncha liars.*
