Lot's of life getting in the way. But we back with a Goddess of a guest. Our newest Coversode brings us Tiana Thompson-Tyler where the ghosts were definitely in the machine. She speaks to what it takes about getting comfortable in how we choose and want to be seen. How do we verbalize our pains even to those who know and love us?  She gets into being unapologetic for how she sees herself as a WOC. Her brilliance leads us on the path of religion...oneness of all when discomfort rules. Tangents be tangeting while God's out here shutting doors LOL!! There's sadness in dismissal of intersectionality in marginalization. Our narcissistic traits seem to bubble up in a flow of ignorance. Its become a large part of our conditioning to distrust our inherent possibility of empathy. Connection is KEY folks, she teaches the beauty and healing in this. She's out here showing us how to reach for the blessings!!!  To check out all things Tiana Thompson-Tyler , check out the links below:

D "The Bearded Wonder" steps in for an assist, while Sierra Hartman of Grit City Mag comes to show us his wares.  Not a native of where he holds his heart...we get origins born from a place which brought Reaganomics and poor policing adjacent trials (insert joke here), tales of suburbia paint a picture of what safety looks like. Oh snap it's called Magic Mountain Boulevard. Bit of a fast forward gentrification is a real problem to be addressed. Military service opens worlds because early education doesn't always hit it's mark. What we internalize can be a battle of demons trying to take us down. Perspective is EVERYTHING! He turns his eagle lens onto landscapes rarely truly seen as he escapes into the areas where true essence lies. There's divergence of being within the crux of privilege. Our apologies the Somalia language is the Somali language, no disrespect intended. JoJo dives into her late night perusals...it's all circumspect.  Who knew one-way tickets can get you off the online dating train???  Enter the ultimate passion project where seeds get planted, allegiances are formed, and brilliance is born. Hey Tacoma it's time for the spotlight because the vision is focused on you. He finds himself blessed with the genius partner who is Sara (badass extraordinaire table of one please). A groove settles in with the artistry contained within the pages of this breathtaking endeavor. Shout out to NINA!! As always thanks to Max, Derek and The Chatter Network!!!

Gracing us with his presence in this Coversode for a return engagement is Dave Orton, because 3rd is the charm.  Sounds from the dungeon...all mid-cracker, requests go but not sure unheard. We're in new digs but with "old" friends. Straight out the gate we learn managers be managing by making mad scientist moves knowing how to make lightening in a bottle. As egos lay down, it's in the music Moonfever is born. As he talks, we discover honesty abounds within the writing process. He's sorry not sorry if you're listening you know. He's giving loving shout outs to all. At this point, names are getting epically screwed up...shots go down hard lol. Turns out eyes mean a lot to Dave too.  Rabbit hole here we come...Sayonara Nike, Hello Nelly, Google still works...moon fever is not a disability.  Age comes in to play, so the conversation turns to when do we lay down in our grave? Doing what brings us LIFE has no age stamp...massive blowout coming! FYI age and maturity are not mutually bonded. We peep into our collective souls in search of humanity. How and when do we decide to not hit send on our proverbial emotions yelp review? Patterns of growth ebb and flow, grace can come in doses greater than we imagine, opening eyes and ears allows the heart to truly see things. As always thanks to Max and The Chatter Network!!!

What once was lost is now found, as in audio. Our guest co-host is none other than Pretty Gritty Tours host extraodinaire Chris Staudinger. He comes armed with ALL the knowledge, which brings some disappointment in regards to a PNW land mass. Sorry, not sorry corrections happen. This Killersode centers around the history of Tacoma, and the many murders which play out. As live shows go, shenanigans and shots accompany discussion of the historical and paranormal which comes with some sadness. Origins of stories can be truly ugly, but nonetheless need to be told. Bays should come with a warning "don't take what doesn't belong to you" or ships may sink also don't hire douchebags, rich people stay committing atrocities, legacies of terror will play out through loops of time, and history continues to show protection of the vulnerable has never been a thing. Eyes are the window to the soul, and blindness is the way the darkness keeps us silent. Click one of the links below to hear more with Chris or take a tour with Pretty Gritty Tours:

Let the Chatter Network shenanigans commence as we try again to figure this thing out. Who gets called what is the mystery to be solved as Gabby does her best to keep all her voices together and inside. Saddle up to the bar because we're here for the drinking games people, rolling some dice time-morphing into a better understanding of our networks origins. Pandemic-shandemic things will come, and we're all greater for it. As we sit and reminisce, the glimpses of how we got where we are begin to make sense. Apparently, Halloween spirits like By The Cover or at least Chris of Pretty Gritty Tours...old audio appears. Old homes make for cool ghost stories and good ghost finds. Gather around the fire folks this turns out to be a hell of a ride!!

Age isn't anything when it comes to how we do,  and Jaivion McLaughlin brings us knowledge that can serve us all. His truth comes by way of a family love, which takes us on a journey of knowing this is how one gets through, his lack of years belies the curiosity that comes deep from within. Basketball is the pulse that seeds his future endeavors to fuel the world. Covid opens his eyes to a different understanding of placement, what we decide to do should and can be fun while helping others along the way, yet injuries take a redemptive arc to help see new vistas of how to process the world. SHOUT OUT TO O'SHEA for bringing us this soul of promise, but truly its Mom and Dad McLaughlin who really deserve the THANK YOU !!!

Coats, Cruella, and beautiful dogs crash in the studio with Charlotte and Tara from Bloodshed and Brews. Worlds apart friendship can be found as borders cannot be contained. Turns out hours in you can still get some good stuff. Brainstorms happen and once again Covid gifts us as they fall into their genius. True crime has its opening yet beer brings up the rear. Where does the love go? Or where does the love grow from within ourselves? As apps go, algorithms of hotness lead to money traps because shooting your shot can cause an ego death. Also, creepers be creeps (no reference to the producers extraordinaire in house)...dudes out there TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER!!! FYI Tara is not a hater even as Siri jumps in to try and save the day 😅.  Segue to vampires to let the right one in or call the right one in as long as they're sparkly. Time is when we find the space to love ourselves, it gives us a place to possibly find what's being sought. Flags out and eyes open its time to be authentic and real...let the chaos rain!!!

Her amazing story resonated with so many.  We interact with people on a daily basis as we walk around never fully engage in the lives that walk by.  As a child of immigrants, she experiences the differences that can run deep in America. The willingness to be so openly vulnerable and share with the podcast left us feeling full. As her telling unfolded, behind the scenes a strong storm was trying to take the remote interview Wi-Fi signal out and cut the interview out completely. Such a great book to take the #1 spot!! That's the Top 5 Coversodes of 2022. Please go jump back in or rediscover more about all By The Cover guests. Beautiful people serving up and letting us get our read on! Catch ya in 2023, and remember when you're reading someone else's chapter DON'T BE A B***H!!

He was one of two musicians who graced us with a peek into their book this year. He's a phenomenal guitarist, plus he can make DRINKS too!! We go on a roadtrip initially for what was one of our best interviews nobody will ever hear lol (sound check anyone). His journey is a story of love and dedication to the things which feed your soul...he was clutch enough to feed us twice.  Strap in and listen one more time to Coversode #2 "I Like Ritalin Too"

The third most listened to Coversode is #25  with Tara and Chris who became schoolies during Covid lockdown and the best part about this particular episode is that we'd never interviewed two people at one time before. With Creeper Cam on board for this ride it was sure to make for a bit of a crazy time...she's forever telling things to ask people things that we  forgot to ask which is always fun to watch. What happens when was one of your guests knows  all the ins and outs of the show (which is super dope) and the other one doesn't? You get some of the best titles that we've ever had lol. If you haven't listened or want to hop back in, it's Coversode #25 "Condoms in the Forest"

As stories go, she has bulldozed through life as a badass. This podcast always works to accommodate our guests and their time constraints. This week our guest took us for the time ride. Her story is so compelling, and could not be truncated. It was inspiring journey she took us on, so before you know it we were way beyond our allotted time. But her telling of her chapters required a measured rhythm only she could give it. We were happy to oblige, and go along for the hypnotic adventure.  Join us for this re-listen with #4  Coversode of the year with Teme Wokoma!!!

Kelsie is such a phenomenal person and we were so lucky to land her as a guest and she has such a friggin amazing story. But one of the things that happens in the podcast, I'm sure you guys know this already if you're a listener is that we tend to drink. We drink wine, we drink we shots. Sometimes we mix cocktails, and this particular episode ended up being a two-parter and it went over two hours. And you can hear yours truly here start to get heavily intoxicated, so much so that I actually started to call Kelsie something other than what is her actual name, and I didn't catch it and then once I caught it, I couldn't stop doing it LOL. So as you get into as you get into this episode, listen, listen closely, you'll start to hear it happen. And she was such a great sport about it. She's kind of let it go. But it's one of those things. It's behind the scenes that we just kind of ignore and we don't tell people about it. So get into #5  Coversode with Kelsie Nabbas. Enjoy!!!

Cocktails and wine bring the support this week. Lacking a twist of citrus and sparkling things open us into the story of Jay McGrath. Adjacency is key to the revolution...all HAIL NERDS. Jersey shore isn't holding his 4-year old self down, so it's off to Cali. Parental love and belief keeps him rolling along until aeronautics take flight in his heart of hearts but it's in the heart that dreams of being a pilot fade out. Not all is lost we discover because he's smart and only slightly angry as he manages to make a pivot. Black swans can be beautiful until they hit the aerospace jets, then they're just harbingers. Divergence on the path sees him doing less what gives back. There's power in being an adjacency magnet that really pulls gold, enter the genius of Alex. Our conversation becomes a seminar on technology's march toward a more sustainable future. Truly more nerdy than he let on. Cap'n Jay gets his own label, his brilliance is on fire with comprehension and compassion. He's out here to change the world one belief at a time. SHOUT OUT TO ALEX!!! Plus, none were harmed in the making of this episode. All in all his beauty truly shines through. Read more on Spectrum Networks here:

"Why?" you ask..... because he's back this week for our FIRST EVER Live-stream Killersode Evening on Saturday, Oct 15th at 6pm. Watch live on YouTube.

We finally get it right straight out the gate. We're kickin' it this week with Chris of Pretty Gritty Tours. He's starts with his nomadic origins. How should we maneuver life? Apparently through dad jokes. His journey heads out to sea, before he makes many a continental shift where he trades the lonely seas for romantic Mt. Kilimanjaro. Little foray in serial killer speak and he finds a wife - SHOUT OUT TO TAWNY!! We get philosophic about the grit Tacoma has to offer, no Seattle love in the moment. Taking a love of travel, history, and outstanding spunk a company is born. Turns out bringing history to life can get you the gig of a lifetime.  Covid rears its ugly head and creates lonely spaces, but revamping can breed genius to make it through. The power to bring dreams to life can be a tour de force, plus you might have a whale of time in the process.

We start a chat with Spencer Ries, the right hand of right hands. Artistry can bring out the fan in all of us, what he knows is he's drawn to things that make him think. Young age lends itself to untimely or timely forays out and about. This is where discoveries are made and here's to opening up fixations of vintage curiosity. As time moves on he learns through training from a master timekeeper, a beginning collector of things in need of tinkering, and yet modern concepts lose their novelty fast. He gets through high school while doing his thing moving by way of this life according to his brilliance. Sometimes struggles can lead you to what amounts to the perfect journey. Enter a  true BOSS and he gets the recognition that's due on a spirit of his making. Age is relative to soul of a person. As things open up, we discuss the shift into market doings...how do you engineer bringing the community together in a changed world without losing the celebration of artistry in human connection? Talk turns to future pursuits...it's expensive (colleges are you listening) but handiness is in his favor. Dogs of the market speak SHOUT OUT TO CASHEW!! His obsession rears its head. Seems it can keep the neighborhood affordable folks

Early journeys through school takes her to places unseen and makes life a thing to be experienced. Time away can bring ingenuity as papers need to speak to knowledge gained and matters taken into her own hands allows survival of the mind. Which way does one turn as opportunity knocks? She reaches for creativity with understanding it's not always who ya know, but how much more you know in the void of nothing. She's here to take us on a twirl of the world as an educational incubator with her badass genius. We get into how industries of service can make you a master, being creative for creativities sake is fuel that can burn bright. Human connectivity is complex but worth all the messiness. Love is found in the depths of where we're willing and open to meeting ourselves. Does drive equate to the passion of the direction we're headed? Squirrels and coyotes come out of the woods to reveal an artist's beautiful resonance in entrepreneurial spirit. Enter Bunny the being who guides her onto the path of fur mama heaven, and communication with buttons allowing a convergence which turns into a potent connection. There's beauty and power in being to being interrelationship dynamics, critics be damned...honestly do better people. Moira Rose may need a wig named Devine lol. We close out with a power of all powers, so much to be banished. There's more to her and can be found by clicking on her places below:

He starts with a shoutout to his namesake, along with tons of familial love to go around. As we back into his childhood origins, it seems like separation of hearts can allow unity in hard circumstances. Luck abounds in the most unusual ways and adversity done in a somewhat easy manner opens the channel of communication. There's acknowledgement where children are concerned. As he moves up into his creation phase, friendships formed make the perfect brotherhood community...so problem solved. Conversation centers on motivation toward seeing others, journalistic hopes receive some truths, but dreams remain within the realms. Shout out to Olive Garden breadsticks!! PSA of truth is shared with a call for understanding.  He gets in on the ground floor to supplement passions, time turns toward the magic of artistry of wrist pieces. Question is will he be ahead of his time?? No watch fetishes here.  Looks like villains may emerge regardless because ease is everything. All in all vulnerability may be the key power to hold

She hears her calling young, as an only she finds joy in her tomboy ways. When left to one's devices the under pinnings of genius can start to bleed through. Rough edges conceal nothing, all hail masculinity...unless not. Mastering the architecture of the moment, love of how things go together, change comes and ideas blossom around the process. Tables turn without wasting a thing, and her desire to create out of the body of long held treasure. Questions asked, can we sustain this life? Stepping outside the limits, she strives to evolve her craft and speak out loud educating by way of example.  We discuss how societal industry change can allow for a resurgence to breathe in honest ways. Offers are made while geeking out...we meant what we said when it was said. She's on a mission to help us see the numbers through the prism of reclaimed patterns.

Alexa Fischer brings her radiating sense of purpose and delight in people to our fangirling session. Let the games commence. She discusses her East coast business mixed with West coast Cali vibrations. There’s always elements of full truth in origin. Discovery seeds of high school acting can get you to a keen sense of purpose, fascination with stories by the way pertaining to Humans of New York draws to walking in others shoes. Energy and vibes merged with drive bleeds sparks of creativity. We find out slaps can be linchpin guides toward happiness, striking relational understanding is best served with self love initially above all else, and it’s in these moments that compassion and curiosity blow doors open. Her chapters just keep unfolding, the wishwork starts to unfurl itself when it’s needed most. Under the light of magic, we get “sciencey” behind intention within the connection between heart and mind. Tools of navigation lead to roads undiscovered. Her dreamscape powers may help with flying through the window of her soul. Check out more about her below:

Our guest Alon Leichman is chill though in what seems like an undisclosed location. Trust and understanding starts in a kibbutz of communal life with ties to American past times. As tides come all rise together. He talks time slots for rides, and how the beauty of this life can lead to payout for all. We get extra lost but he aids in the translation. Dawning comes over us as realization sets in how lucky we truly are. Yes, we're speaking for all Americans...not that anyone asked. Origins of his baseball love come as blasts out the past, videos lend knowledge to his skills in Israel, and dreams grow to reality. Mandatory layover slows the progress of his aspirations but it builds on the integrity of what lies within. With blessings there can also be curses, life lessons may someday lead to change, but let's digress. His road to the pros involves having his accent on lock, he finds himself at a crossroads and pitches full tilt into coaching what he knows. Possibilities are mapped out in his choice of choices, yet it turns out he's incredibly versatile. We hold out hope to get our own ice cream flavor, which may require we hit the field to get our lactose on. Check out more about him below:

Early out things can be obvious to those that choose to look and speak. Kristen Gilbert chose a way to attract her attention, and serve no one but herself. She shows her brilliance lies only in the masks that she wears. Home cooking brings suspicion, while numbers abound in the areas worked. Trickle happens and eyes start to turn. Apparently beauty, being adept, and smiling can only shield so long. Discovery leads to charges but what truth reveals is evil and a lack of accountability when caring for those who truly serve us. We look into our treatment of our bravest, and how they receive once service is through. Red tape, budgets, and congress are the importance, as broken bodies and minds lie in the wake. Service connects only through disconnects...paperwork is the order of the day. History shows no matter the ugliness of theater when the curtain closes war rages on.

Out of a family of many, she finds herself in the middle place.  Strength can build you up from birth. We look at how her father infuses a sense of understanding that it takes a village to raise all.  There are playdates, friends, and halftimes filled with surprising instruments which are the star of the show. It comes down to Law and Order as she moves toward criminal justice. We pull up our seats to discover love and loyalty can cause us to shift our paths.  She navigates through raising a child, work, school and her brilliance to pull herself up. Store visits can lead to romance in the produce aisle. Shopper beware cupid's arrow can get you in the back. How long do you stand up and believe? Looks like until the world comes undone. Lessons are learned that lifestyles are never free, and there can be prices to be paid. Rising like a phoenix from the ashes of her bunk, she comes full circle. Dreams of her childhood return, she turns to advocating for those less likely to have people in their corners. Her educational prowess continues, we only imagine where she takes it from here.

That’s the way we step into this mystery with evil genius Jessica Payne. She begins in the rolling hills of Kansas before foraging the wilderness of California with a backpack full of her belongings, psych degree, and student loans. She discovers her reset and takes a pivot toward her passion.  It becomes obvious normal is only a mask people think they should wear, and once again COVID’s harshness brings about productive musings. We get into her twisty-turny ways of bringing out her creative brilliance, unplanned weirdness is us...she encourages while we cringe at the thought of being out there.  The surreal creeps in as realization hits, the dream is real.  Pursuits of passion are key to how we should live life. She puts us on the spot, we wilt under the pressure. Book titles be damned!!!! Her Coversode closes as she steals our murdery hearts with her kind of nerding.

Daniel Calderon drops in to chat on what we can only describe as the 4th Level of a H-E-DOUBLE HOCKEY STICKS kind of day!! Amebas can honestly become something, as long as they're not babies in the forest. He takes us around the ring of his athletic beginnings with his boxing journey.  Along the way, we learn he may or may not be a gift giving master. Discussion turns to early influences and how they can set your beliefs on the paths you're supposed to take...perseverance is the key for allowing challenges to be accepted.  Army secrets get out...he might want to look over his shoulder lol, there's understanding showing up can lead to success, and he may have an "apparel gear" problem.  Covid changes the landscape as his track and field career starts to hit its stride. He takes us to school and gives us a peek behind the athletic compliance curtain, we discover he may be on his way to becoming a wizard. Code switching, shots, and heat oh my!!! He gets to see himself in the lives he now touches. In the end, his real skill may be manipulating molecules into jet skis. SHOUT OUT TO MAX FOR BEING THE MAXIEST!!

Ice drops outs the door and through our veins as we get into the horrendous abuse story of the Turpin children. It all comes to light in the early morning hours of January 2018 day. Thirteen victims with parents who chose to turn from love to torture and lack of concern for life.  Being locked away breeds joint suffering, which leads to where bravery finds the way to speak, and time allows the outside world to step in. How does the search for a life and justice reveal the cracks in the rescue? Into the world of CPS we dwell, and discover what we most suspect. When the tables turn, will there be responsibility on the powers that be? Innocents look to escape into a world to be seen, heard, and finally truly loved. Our tears fall and anger rises in us to ask more questions of how the system fails on the regular.  Is it overload, malfeasance, or just plain disregard? Children truly are the future. Let's love them and give them the chance to lead the way. To find out more or if you know and suspect a case of child abuse click the links below:

Origins are everything, especially when hearses are involved. His pursuits of all things creepy came out early, turns out wanderings for work can bring us into contact with the powers that be. He gets into why para-sensing people do what they do, and not all are doing it for the right reasons.  There's a catharsis in writing and teaching people how to access the understanding of paranormal happenings. His belief in elements outside of ourselves leads to acceptance of trust in knowledge, energy allows for projections coming through. Plus, we get a couple of his otherworldly experiences that keep us on the edge of our seats. Check your compasses and buckle up for a great ride!!

We have Dango Cellan in the house. We learn that beginnings can create trials, yet he shows how this can create triumphs. Our conversation looks at how parents bring about deep belief, and the paths we start aren't alway the paths we end up choosing. Music allows for the escape from pain while on the journey to healing. He talks about learning through making moves, forays to Nashville bring a musical way of life, and winning the lottery can happen sometimes at warp speed (all puns intended). He lets us in on how pop-punk rock open doors to a whole new way to live. As you give your love and faith, it comes back to you. Genuine love of music brings connection where people come together.  All the love to Zac Brown, you've got the best dad!! Get into more of his genius by clicking the links below:

It involves the killings of four beautiful African American girls in church during the1963 infamous church bombing in Birmingham, Alabama perpetrated by cowards. We jump into racism in its most wicked form. Shattered was a place for worship, celebration, activism, and being seen. Loss of childhood innocence and carnage becomes the order or day. How does the search for progress bring out such vile, cruel intentions? Looks like ripping worlds apart births moments of stronger opposition. A search for understanding shows we're still not there yet. Racism continues to plague. In the quest for united states, it seems we are still divided we fall. Discomfort needs to become the order of our day. We sit still clamoring for justice. Our rage is reignited yet again. When will we as a nation start to reach for understanding of what's beneath our skin is what keeps us whole as a collective.  Our tears flow for justice. Are we ever going to wake up and decide we all matter...that there's beauty in our differences?  Life and the pursuit of happiness is a possibility for us all. Well, if we decide or choose that we want it.

We're kickin' it this week with Chris of Pretty Gritty Tours. He's starts with his nomadic origins. How should we maneuver life? Apparently through dad jokes. His journey heads out to sea, before he makes many a continental shift where he trades the lonely seas for romantic Mt. Kilimanjaro. Little foray in serial killer speak and he finds a wife - SHOUT OUT TO TAWNY!! We get philosophic about the grit Tacoma has to offer, no Seattle love in the moment. Taking a love of travel, history, and outstanding spunk a company is born. Turns out bringing history to life can get you the gig of a lifetime.  Covid rears its ugly head and creates lonely spaces, but revamping can breed genius to make it through.

Been away a minute, and it's NERD ALERT time. With our return we've got Grant Colombini of Excuse The Intermission Podcast. One of the reasons behind how we're currently chattering the way we chatter. Talk immediately turns to  accents and road rage. Do they make it better...no it's road rage. Our nerdiassance into Star Wars begins with an understanding that nerds have come to the front of the line. He looks at older brother love and appreciation, and a youngling's confusion of their decades. We get into rebellion for rebellions sake, what happens while you're waiting to exhale...MAGIC apparently! He captivates us with his genius love of storytelling. Can redemption be found in sharing one's soul?  Since he's a genius we say yes and RPatz is the ultimate rabbit hole.

With that comes this Killersode. This killersode involves the heinous prison murder of Darren Rainey.  Our anger grows over the collective abuse and neglect at Dade Correctional Facility TCU in South Florida.   Does incarceration breed necessity for inhumanity? Who's minding the keepers of human life and the keys? Turns out no one. We wonder how those charged with care choose their jobs over the most vulnerable inmates. Prison is supposed to rehabilitative, not deadly. It seems time and time again our system of policing falls short. Which leads into our social justice subject of the US prison system. We know not all law enforcement officers and officials are incapable of doing their jobs, yet it only takes one create to wreak chaos and havoc. Protect and serves seems to become secrets and fear for so many. Does damage created in the name of public safety keep us safe at all?

Hey we're coming at y'all with an episode replay close to our hearts. But before we head down memory lane, we've got some housekeeping. We maneuver the crap that is Covid once again and celebrate our network home. Once that's done it's a return to our beginnings. Jump back in to discover how Myleyah got her nickname, why we think men and women struggle to understand the other, and why deep talk and laughter heal the soul.

What does it take to be seen? We discuss the origins of Brandon Teena's life.  As we try to live our lives open an honest, is it our truth that matters, or whatever society thinks? When we love, is it our hearts that matter most? We're frustrated again as we see police fall down on the job. Looking at Brandon's life, we see the violation of his life both when alive and in death. We wonder will we ever see a world fully accepting of a person's truth. Education and love are the key to embracing humanity. Before the Oscars "incident" we get into the AMPAS (aka Academy Awards people) and why the Oscars suck...yeah we're not impressed. This week's social justice issue revolves around the mistreatment through laws, abuse, and murder of transgendered persons, most often transgender women. As time marches on, we see that turning back time is the order of today's society in certain parts of our country.  Does the damage to peoples identities make life safer for the whole in lieu of safety for the individual? Maybe we should be looking to do no harm. Please click either of the links below for the Human Rights Campaign or The Trevor Project. In using his last name (Teena) we recognize there may be confusion , but there's no disregard for how Brandon saw himself.

Coversode pt. 2 with Tara and Chris (yes Creeper Cam too).  Ms. Frizzle may make a bus fly, but this is true luxury. Life dreams are not everything they seem, zodiac signs try to  cancel out ADHD, and opposites will cause friction. They discover Covid plans and bus building will change relationships. Babies versus metal babies, overloaded disagreements don't make grandstanding any easier..doppelgängers be damned.  Americans doing things the way they want...Gucci for Swiper so no backpacking through Europe. Co-host auditions begin  without permission because some of us cannot read or are just tired. In the end, Sir Isaac Newton is thankful time travel doesn't exist. He gets to keep his head.

Tara Combs and Chris Kollar come to the cast and sit for some talk. The discussion opens from the beginnings, which is where it usually happens.  There's a jump back onto the trail of youth and discovering games can be harbingers of disease knowledge. We look at whether qwerty keyboards or pagers ruined the world, and by extension college. Once again shout out to Tom!! Relationships of all types have a way of changing who we are, but bring with it balance.  We apologize to Sasquatch for taking liberties with his social life. Our conversation turns to genealogy discovery and the serendipity of how small the world is. They discuss how codependency through covid can be greater than we realize, road trips are invigorating...and can a lead to bigger ideas.

We see how it can encourage us to be seen and unseen. We're all yes to the strength of the collective to raise the truth for the individual good. Our discussion turns to the struggle of being empathically natured, wandering while looking for the dream and trying to understand what feeds it.  She talks seeing the world through pain, and what it takes to rise up out of the darkest moments, who shows up for us when we need it the most, and recognizing our worth isn't based in others eyes.  We hold the power to decide for ourselves how experiences fully shape us. Closing out, she shows her profound sense of entrepreneurial spirit working to light this world on fire.  If you or anyone you know is suffering or in emotional distress, please click the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline below for support.

It starts from a reset place...audio be damned. He talks boredom of life, old cars used for racing, origins of talent and how it often doesn't fall far from the tree. We talk drugs (meaning weed), do the affects make you stupid (nah), but the discovery of how it's not a bad thing to bring out artistry.  He dives into how bassists are underrated, what we're willing to sacrifice for passion...money may not be everything, record deals can suck, safety doesn't allow for creativity, but canned creation can stunt the process. Plus, creeper cams can throw off the whole vibe when unexpected. To listen to Dave's guitar mastery, click any of the Hyro The Hero links below

We look at his origins through art, Pee Wee Herman connections, to his iconic SNL Bill Clinton impersonation. But what happens when money and success doesn't buy happiness, especially if things don't fit?  As we love, is it required we give all of who we are? We try to comprehend why police and doctors sometimes fall down on the job. We get into to the subject of intimate partner violence. What are the signs? There are so many...if we're looking and able of getting the help. Education is key, but the love of self is always the answer.

Nerds unite on mutant power origins, he discusses where the principles of art require examination, understanding the draw art has on us, and where friends can help bring you through to the beauty of it all.

What happens when cancel culture collides with mental health? We wonder how something originating from Black Twitter intended for the good and power of the collective can become something so ugly it can kill?  Does our want to punish people or "Cancel" them come with any avenues for innocent until proven guilty or redemption?

We get into how grandmas can speak truth to your villain identity, being raised with a deep masculine self, and biology not being it what it's chocked up to be. Growing up being seen amongst people where you least expect it, understanding marginalized groups, and making spiritual representation work along the lines for all people.

Our discussion wanders through the passions of deep Spanish familial cultural traditions to near death, and energies coming to us when we least expect. She opens up about her insistence to ignore her calling, meet cutes of destiny, stepping into and standing up for our gifts, plus having deep spiritual beliefs that allow us to be guided. The conversation veers through the importance of self-advocacy in order to live. We dive into how amongst the ravages of the pandemic, she took her spiritual depth and turned it into a blooming wellness vibe to be reckoned with.

It's starts with being excited for the hope of 2022. She talks origins and why they matter, assimilation through education and the navigation maze that lies within. Impacts of our immigration system injustices on families along with forced deportation, straddling the duality of living amongst multiple cultures. She shares her passion for diversity and inclusion in education, and shaping the future of these through her work and want to give back. Her belief in collective love is greater than the sum of one

She shares meandering life while building oneself through the presence of mindfulness. We dig deep into her abilities on a spiritual plane, and how she uses them to guide others to trust the process, and come back into our stronger selves.

The following episode will contain discussion of severe medical malpratice, death, murder, abortion, and overdosing that may be triggering to some of our audience.

In this week's episode, we discuss the horrendous crimes of Dr. Kermit Gosnell in Philadelphia. Hack abortionist or pill factory dealer? We wonder do women's lives actually matter? Does body autonomy belong to us or the Supreme Court? We open this long chapter on what we hope is not a return to the dark ages.

This Coversode, we get a read on Courteney Kay.  From her origins of being raised by a modern day rapping Dr. Seuss, Spiderman costumes, the wrongs of Sixteen candles and the cringe of Jake Ryan. We learn how college culture fired up her views on dating, relationships, and relating to the public. There’s big words, perusing doppelgängers, and wanting normal humans to be Pinocchio. She discusses how her passion for the world of dating expanded into online companies and how that helped parlay her into becoming a matchmaking genius
