Past Episodes

  • Episode 290: Case-of-Beer-ia Aired: Wednesday, May 30, 2018

    Shut it, Mrs. G.! It's an all new Sound of Tomorrow! In today's Part 1, we're talking Roseanne and Racism which takes way longer than we'd thought it would but let to some kind of interesting ideas! Part 2: Your vote matters! (vote.gov) Did you restart your router? And rejection! Which is one thing but rejection from a food is cruel, dammit, why do I still have Morrissey lyrics in my head all the time? Shoo! Go away! Maybe it's just part of the illness brought on after I touched my lips to that foam mic thing....

    TMBG DAS: "The Bullies"!

  • Episode 289: Puff Aired: Wednesday, May 23, 2018

    Whoo-wee Space Cadets, it's another Sound of Tomorrow and another cornucopia of content! In this week's exciting episode, we're lightening up for once in our goddamned (no swearsies!) lives and taking about the royal wedding and baby names! After the TMBG DAS, McCafferty's bib, though, we're back to our usual dour selves discussing more reasons YOU need to get out and vote. Plus lava.

    PS--Be sure to stay tuned for the absolute train wreck at the end! :D

    Hi Mx Space Cadets! In this week's exciting Sound of Tomorrow, we're talking Men In Cars (Miss Craaaaane!), we've got an Anne Frank update (hot take? everyone farted.), legislation affecting the rights of trans people (please... please vote), and things your gynecologist wants you to stop doing!

  • Episode 287: Farts Aired: Wednesday, May 9, 2018

    Welp, you know what? We completely forgot to give any info on how to register to vote. Ugh, can we not remember anything?! But, fear not! So your Friendly Local Babe with the Power googled around for a sec and would like to take this moment to direct you to vote.gov. It looks like this site had good info on how to register in most states so go on out and get that done! We'll be so proud of you when you do! <3

  • Episode 286: UNFILTERED Aired: Wednesday, May 2, 2018

    Boy oh boy, Space Cadets, we are rarin' out of the gates with today's new Sound of Tomorrow! Starting it off big with Ross's UNFILTERED screed against the Rochester area drivers and grocery shoppers, we're onto what's the latest video to make Heather cry (Hint: "By the Time You Get This" by beloved TMBG. Look it up. It's great. You'll cry, too.). We hardly even get those filters back on for a discussion of how Janelle Monae and Kehlani's coming out announcements were received!

  • Episode 285: Talking TMBG with Woody B Aired: Wednesday, April 25, 2018

    Woody Battaglia of WAYO's own Almost Tuesday (Monday nights, 9-11) is back on the SoT and we could not be gladder! After a deep dive into the origin story and provenance of Uncle Al's Coconut cookies which mysterious appeared unopened in the broadcast room DESPITE THE FACT THAT WE'RE NOT ALLOWED TO EAT IN THERE and a discussion of how many teeth Heather has stashed in the secretary desk in her dining room (told you I know exactly where they are!)!!! Woody and Heather go on to recount their fabulous They Might Be Giants adventure last Thursday!

  • Episode 284: Abderites! They're SO Stupid! Aired: Wednesday, April 18, 2018

    Do you like old timey Roman jokes? Do you like science and space news? Do you like Morrissey*? Then today's all new Sound of Tomorrow is for YOU! Actually, its for you even if you're kind of not into any of those things.

    *You're going to want to rethink that one.

    TMBG DAS: "Tractor."

  • Episode 283: Tax Time Aired: Wednesday, April 11, 2018

    It's that time of year again... No, not tax time? What are you doing reading the episode title?! It's time for Ross to try to scam Heather again! But no worries.... we here at the SoT aren't terrific at scamming. But we sure are terrific at talking! So.... in the first part of the sow, we're talking about phone scams for reals, we're slagging on Millennials, and we're trying to figure out what the heck Flat Earthers really think is going on with the Earth! (Hint: we don't get it at all).

  • Episode 282: The Alt-Facts of Life Aired: Wednesday, April 4, 2018

    Girrrls! Girrrls!!! That's right. It's an all new Sound of Tomorrow with an especially amazing skit that HAS ITS OWN THEME SONG. Yessss! It's all downhill from there, really, but in the first half of the show, we're talking windpocalypse and puns and act two is all about email! And maybe a little bit about the last dodo on the internet..... 

    TMBG DAS: "This Microphone."*

    *Lyric:
    "Kindness is killing off my unfinished dreams
    And walking away, just walking away"

    See what I mean?

  • Episode 281: Ross Theta Aired: Wednesday, March 28, 2018

    Beep boop beep boop, who is that handsome AI? Well, it's good old Ross Theta, beaming in to bring joy and cheer and aiiiiieeeee! Power down, young man. Power down. In this exciting episode of the Sound of Tomorrow, we're kind of all over the place even more than usual! Let's see how much I remember.... We're talking Facebook data, urban legends, Roseanne, dogs at the hockey game, funeral candy, the SoT All-Time Greatest Hymns Playlist, and what doctors *really* think of your WebMD searches! Phew. I think that's nearly accurate. Hm.

    TMBG DAS: "Tick Tick Tick Tick"
