Our Swing Generation, Technology and the Zombie Apocalypse - Part 1
We’re special. Why? We can divide our lives almost perfectly in two phases. The first phase - the internet, who dat? The second - the invasion of soul-sucking screens and apps!! The fact that we straddle these two eras makes us what call a "swing generation". But do we have superpowers because of this? Will our pre-internet skills and memories be secret weapons that ensure our survival in the impending no-wifi having zombie apocalypse?! Join us as we talk about all this, Oregon Trail, Google Maps, sexy scavenger hunts and much much more…

Our bodies: the ultimate betrayal
PSA: We are mad sorry about any sonic inconveniences this episode may cause you. We recorded it in adverse situations in the past, before we tightened up our sound game. Apologies. (Breath) Now with that said , welcome to the first of many episodes on the body (ours, yours, everyone's) and how it begins to change as we enter our 40's. You know the signs: suddenly you have to "lift with you legs"; your stomach is sensitive; your doctor is on speed dial; you think every little pain might be the signs of a terminal illness. Your body has been changing without your approval. It is almost a crime. Join us as we jump on the case.

Our history as quitters
By the time 40 rolls around we’ve all quit a bunch of stuff. We’ve left jobs, walked away from relationships, called it quits on countries, and even abandoned friends on the top of a mountain. Join us as we unpack our sometimes hard, sometimes liberating, but always entertaining...history as quitters.
