This Show Has Everything

In an age when the media landscape is as fractured as ever and quality across the board is waning, your TSHE hosts answer the call for the kind of critical analysis and historical context that is much needed today with a thoughtful, scientific and thoroughly researched discussion on media criticism though the lens of television theme songs. And by that we mean, a nostalgia-soaked TV-based version...

There were no utensils in medieval times, hence there are no utensils at Medieval Times. Would you like a refill on that Pepsi? Like Bill and Ted before us, your TSHE hosts are ready to explore what our lives would have been like in Medieval times - the era of history, not the restaurant (though, that comes up a lot). We would probably be very stinky/die of one fever but maybe our lives would have...

We like to think that we give things a fair shake around here, but sometimes you just can’t get there. This week, we’re talking about things that are Not For Me, which includes entries in the food, music, attraction, sports, and pop culture spheres. Also, Ann’s on a (probably unsuccessful) quest for more protein, Bobby gave Fella his own suite, and Meredith loves a good curd.   TSHE Recommends: A...

Listen back with us this week as we return to a conversation from July 2021 about why we love America. (It was complicated then. It's not less complicated now.) Here's the original episode description: In honor of America’s birthday, we celebrate the reasons we love—at least a little bit—our home and native land. Plus: Your favorite vintage nostalgic tech, Cool Aunt Hillary chauffeured some youths...

We come up with a lot of random topics while recording and while they might not be suitable for a whole show, you know your hosts can talk at length about almost any subject (are we guest producer, Doug Schrecengost?). With that being said, it's time to spin the wheel of topics (alternate question of the week - what’s your favorite kind of wheel?)! From our philosophy of lateness (not great!) to t...

Over at TSHE we’re not getting any younger, and that’s why it’s more important than ever that we focus on our fitness, even though it’s all been downhill (or should we say, uphill?) since Mile Run day in elementary school. This is also probably a good time to remind everyone that this is, essentially, the opposite of an advice podcast. Plus, scary moments, a cute moment, continued cinema studies,...

The TSHE Book Club is back, and your entire roster of hosts are in the (metaphorical) studio to dig into a story that’s both sensationalist and nuanced. We’re talking about Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke, and man, do we have a lot to say! Our discussion includes gender roles, internalized misogyny, and the crushing pressure of fantasy life, as well as strong feelings about a protagonist who is bo...

Batter up! Hear that call! The time has come! For one and all! To plaaaayyy ball! RECORD SCRATCH! While we had every intention of discussing our history with youth sports, your hosts were feeling their age and quickly pivoted to ruminating about how our bodies are failing us. Don’t worry, we have fun while we’re slowly decaying! In small talk (before we delved into aging), Hillary is still watchin...

From the vault *creaking noise* please enjoy this pre-Mother's Day delight which originally aired on May 10, 2021. 84: Maybe We are a Pyramid Scheme? As Mother’s Day looms, we have happily reconvened the council of Moms (™) and wow do we have a business opportunity for you!! Get in our downline! This episode we’re tackling a subject near and dear to our hearts - MLMs  (otherwise known as Multi-Lev...

It’s wedding season, so we’ve convened the TSHE Coven because everyone knows that “weddings are lady business.” We’re discussing our feelings about getting hitched in this day and age, insidious societal pressures, the matrimonial process itself, the worst wedding traditions, and of course our favorite wedding movies. Plus, more talk about Harrison Ford, and a patented TSHE detour into musicals. T...

Your hosts are otherwise occupied with mundane life BS, so please enjoy this classic episode from May 13, 2024. Original show notes below: Here at TSHE Studios y’all know we LOVE movies. But what if we told you sometimes, we actually hate movies. On today’s episode we’ll tell you about the times we came this close to walking out/turning off. We’re not trying to be haters, but Frodo is a whiny litt...

Space: The Final Frontier. These are the voyages of the Starship Skerritt. It’s continuing mission, the explore strange new worlds, seek out new friends and new stuff to pontificate on; to boldly go where no podcast has gone before! In light of the Artemis mission, Project Hail Mary, and just maybe wanting to leave Earth, your TSHE hosts are discussing space, again. Would we go? Does the Lauren Sa...

It’s time for a dessert bracket full of madness to come down to one. The listeners voted. Did we listen? And what does that say about us? Come for the results, stay for the emotional baggage. Plus, we vibe out (even if our pets can’t) with something that sure felt like small talk but, for technical podcasting reasons, wasn’t. TSHE (might) Recommend / the jury’s still out Scarpetta Tovala Connect w...

We’re back on our dessert bracketology grind as we narrow the contenders down from 32 to four (and find out how basic we are). Make your voice heard! We want to hear your opinions, even though they may not count. Our Final Four: CARROT CAKE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES APPLE PIE HOT FUDGE SUNDAE TSHE Recommends: The Correspondent Kagi English to LinkedIn Translation Connect with the show! This is your s...

In order to line up with the Oscars, we’re releasing this episode a little early! Here’s the Oscar ballot for your review - Oscar Ballot   Your favorite Oscar prognosticators are back and here to hopefully help you win your office pool! And, as it’s our favorite season (RIP Catherine O’Hara), Christy is here!! Listen as we try to make an educated (kinda) guess on who and what will win this year. P...

The bracket is set! Bobby, Ann and Meredith took last week’s on-air efforts and added in (or, in some cases, soundly rejected) your listener feedback to complete the official TSHE Round of 32 best desserts—plus one immediate elevation to the Hall of Fame. All that plus an overdue copy of Spice World, questions about the last name Spunkmeyer, and what loving Ani DiFranco and Subarus says about at l...

As March Madness approaches, your hosts thought it was time for another TSHE bracket. And if there’s anything we’re equipped to discuss, it’s ranking sweets! Join us as we try (really hard) to whittle the top sweets down in a categorizable fashion (see below)! It’s harder than it sounds! Please give us your suggestions! We’re willing to take them into account. As is the TSHE way, we also discuss b...

It’s the season of Lent, but instead of giving up our vices, we decided to pile on a few more and celebrate Reverse Lent. Smoking, video games, more meat, cussing – we’re pursuing things that would undoubtedly cause our mothers disappointment. In small talk, Ann is getting back on the horse (not literally), while Hillary has rizz (whatever that is). TSHE Recommends: Love Story Connect with the sho...

The crew is out and about this week, so please enjoy this classic episode from July 10, 2023. Original show notes below: We’ve all got stories about the strangers we’ve lived by, and Ann, Meredith, and Hillary are no exception. In that spirit, we’re recounting tales about neighbors, good and bad (but let’s be real, they’re mostly bad). We discuss unexpected political friction, neighborhood creeps,...

Your northern TSHE hosts are officially fed up with ice. (And cold. And snow.) So this week, we expel ice, because enough is enough. Plus, Meredith violates her HIPAA, Bobby complains about baby pictures, Ann returns to the arena (even though she’d rather be in the Dairy Queen Club Room) and we all have theories on where the smart, pretty and talented Hillary is this week. TSHE Recommends The Olym...

This week, we’re returning to one of our favorite activities: complaining about other people’s behavior. Grab your water bottle and your butthole leggings and join us as we head to the gym to talk about etiquette. Non-adherence to studio dress codes, children run amok, people who get in your space – it’s all fair game as we break down the things that make us roll our eyes when we’re minding our bu...

Like Gwyneth before us, your TSHE hosts have had some sliding doors moments in life. While it doesn’t mean we’d cut our hair into a blond late 90s pixie, we have pondered what our lives would’ve been like had we chosen a different path. Some options include, retail girl bosses, a lawyer, or perhaps a Toby Ziegler? Imagine a real life Two Cathedrals ($.50 in the jar)! In small talk we’re excited to...

Your TSHE hosts are back in action this week and are diving in without a plan. Fires and fllods? Pedestrians and pestilence? Join us as try to determine if our recent plagues are biblical or just an iron deficiency. Plus: Is Bluey good?  TSHE Recommends The Pitt (Season 2) Connect with the show! This is your show, too.
