Cousins Mark and Allie will be taking some extended time off from recording the pod for a while, but before we go we HAD to have a recap of all the hot takes from episodes past. We also discuss why 2022 has been our most hell-of-a-year yet for personal reasons. And to top off our fond farewell (for now) please enjoy, as is Spacetrash tradition, cousin Mark's ranking of a popular Christmas song! It's a GREAT ONE! Wishing you and your dear ones a wonderful and joyous holiday season. We love you. :) 

Sweet baby Jesus in retrograde, this year went fast!! Only 2 episodes of the pod left for 2022 and in this one we talk about what have been the highlights of the year, what we will be doing this holiday season, how cousin Allie's going to celebrate her birthday as a newly sober woman, and debate what Christmas song cousin Mark will be judging in our final episode of the year - as is Spacetrash tradition!

In which we do a cozy little riff about what Thanksgiving means to us, what we are grateful for, and why gratitude is the opposite of anxiety. We are wishing a very Happy Thanksgiving to you and your dear ones, may your season be chill and your sweet potatoes stay warm even though there's not a lot of oven space available what with all the holiday things. Love, Allie and Mark 

The cousins welcome, for the first time on Spacetrash, the talented and amazing cousin Emily! We learn about each other's social media savvy, introverted tendencies, and how the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse energy has affected us. We speak about the rise in popularity of introverted tendencies like the fetish of cancelling plans, the trouble with ghosting, and the general aversion to such things that were commonplace when Allie was a teenager like phone calls and voicemails - and what a frightfest answering machines were. We get into a slew of additional interesting topics highly relevant to living in modern society today!  Join us! :)

The cousins Mark and Allie break down what self care really means - to them individually and as a collective cultural phenomenon. Life is hard. That's just facts. Listen in to hear how we crack open the magic of self-care, however it looks - whatever it takes. 

Mark turns the big 3-0 on September 29th so to add to the festivities for the final SpaceTrash episode of his 20's we are joined by the ever-wonderful cousin Kate, Mark's older sister by 3 years!! Mark's sun sign being a Libra, we delve into the specifics - is Mark a typical Libra? What are Libras like? What makes them so especially loveable, fair, charming, and kind? And when exactly did Mark dial up his style game and start dressing to impress, as Libras so often do? As we wish our beloved and amazing Cousin Mark the Best 30th Birthday Ever, come listen in to learn why sometimes it's important to EAT THE LAST DONUT.  Mark definitely drops some serious words to the wise in this episode. Join us!

In which the cousins Mark and Allie talk about so many things from tricks to make your home smell like a beautiful fall bounty without burning dangerous candles, to what it takes to toss morals aside and enjoy a good serial killer series, with so many laughs and ridiculousness inbetween. And the count down to Mark's 30th birthday has begun! We just KNOW Lizzo will be fire on September 29th. 

In this episode, Mark and Allie talk all things career, work-life balance, and how the current culture is challenging (and in many cases outright rejecting) the idea of workaholism as a virtue. Also, Allie is becoming a certified life coach - what does that mean? Let's discuss!

In this UNHINGED episode, the cousins discuss the books they're reading, witchcraft, the FBI raid of former president trump and pumpkin spice lattes!

When the world around you feels impossibly bleak and on the precipice of getting even bleaker, what are we doing with our lives and what really matters? In this episode we talk about how the once ever popular 5-year plan has become more like a 3-week or 3-month plan as predicting what our lives will be like in this society even a year from now feels pretty overwhelming and maybe even impossible.
