Scribble, Doodle & Bleed Podcast

Knives & 1970s Sitcoms We’re back! After a short hiatus filled with travel, schedule changes, new jobs, Mother’s Day, and the general chaos of being alive, Scribble Doodle & Bleed has returned. This week’s words were knives and 1970s sitcoms , which somehow led us toward laugh tracks, finger knives, Edward Scissorhands, black eyes, lucky pennies, missing bagels, and a surprisingly passionate discu...

A Friendly Grizzly This week’s words were grizzly and closed , which of course pushed us toward bears, cabins, and places that may or may not be safe to enter. After a few minutes of bantering, we began, as usual, by definition-dipping. A grizzly isn’t just the bear. It can also mean gray-haired or gray-streaked. Huh! Who knew. Leah brought a drawing of a very sweet-looking grizzly, done in ink an...

A Little Polish, A Few Jonathans This week’s words were Jonathan and nail polish , which sounds like the start of either a very specific apology letter or the world’s strangest beauty tutorial. We began with our usual definition-dipping and learned that Jonathan comes from Hebrew meaning gift of God , though Urban Dictionary would have you believe it’s actually the name of the world’s most interes...

A Little Paint, A Little Residue This week’s words were paint and residue , which immediately felt like the aftermath of something. A storm. A project. A feeling you can’t quite scrub out of the corners. We started by definition-dipping, because apparently paint is not just a substance you smear on a surface. It’s also a verb, a radar term, and somehow connected to piebald horses and basketball co...

Arrrr Matey! This week’s words were pirate and funk , which kinda felt like either a dance party at sea or a hygiene problem below deck??? We did just enough definition-dipping to know pirate can plunder more than ships and funk can be both bassline and musty mood, and then we let the words set sail all on their own. Michelle, Dad (Dave lol), and grandson/nephew Axel built three exquisite corpse s...

Scribble Doodle Bleed: Screwdriver This week’s word was screwdriver , which immediately required clarification because… are we talking about vodka and orange juice or the thing you keep in a junk drawer that may or may not actually be there when you need it? We didn’t have one on hand, which both felt very wrong but also very on brand. We clinked imaginary glasses. There was brief Googling. There...

Scribble Doodle Bleed — Formaldehyde This week on Scribble Doodle Bleed , our word was formaldehyde , which led us into conversations about preservation, memory, taxidermy, art-show nerves, and the strange emotional territory inside ordinary materials. We found ourselves circling the uneasy relationship between care, decay, and permanence, and the ways creativity often begins in small observations...

In the debut episode of Scribble, Doodle, & Bleed , mother-daughter duo Michelle Scott (visual artist) and Leah Scott-Kirby (writer) spin gently, and occasionally wildly, around the theme of dizziness . The conversation begins with Michelle sharing a poem inspired by a disorienting moment in a grocery store, exploring how the body can interrupt the ordinary and quietly insist on attention. From th...
