Baby Mine Podcast

Second year grief seems harder than the first. Maybe it’s grief fatigue, maybe it’s just simply the shock has worn off and we are sad. No matter why, it's been a real bummer lately. You may say we sound like a broken record, but with so much outrage in the world and turmoil right now, broken record seems to be in fashion. Just call us fashionable. We picked a good record to play this week with “Tw...

Episode 6 of this podcast covers “Me and Magdalena” by The Monkees and was the hardest episode to post. We finished this episode on Mother’s Day and it took until Father’s Day for me to actually write something. As of this writing, it has been 18 months since Kathleen has been gone. I used to think about her dying years before she did as her health seemed to be generally declining and I wanted to...

Some songs take you places. Although you planned this trip very well, you don’t always know where you are going. “Girl Girl Girl” starts with a little cowboy trot pulling you toward it. This song may contain a secret message, we really aren’t sure but the obscurity is pretty wonderful. The song has some connection to the southwest.

In Ep 4 of Baby Mine, we talk about the David Bowie record Everyone Says Hi from his 2002 album, Heathen. Please take a moment to enjoy the pure joy of this live version of “Everyone Says ‘Hi.’” This record conjures up many subjects, not least of which is Bowie himself. We discuss him less as a musician and more as an Artist. Like our late daughter Kathleen, Bowie made you look at almost everythin...

Baby Mine Ep 3 discusses the bombastic record Pound Cake by Blvck Bvunnie’s Thot Squad.

Listen to Thot Squad's Pound Cake Check out Blvck Bunnie and Grandma on Instagram (now that's what I call caregiving!) This episode discusses...

In episode 2 of the Baby Mine podcast Tim and Katie discuss the record Nobody Loves you More by Kim Deal . She’s a twin, a caregiver, and she’s from Ohio! It’s no wonder that this record made the playlist. We have always been big fan of anything Ms. Deal is connected with, and Tim was really looking forward to the release of the album of the same name which was released in November 2024. We had to...

In this episode we discuss the mysterious and beautiful Sandy Denny record from the 1972 “Sandy” LP, “It Suits Me Well”. This song has a beautiful and sad feel that reminds us of the Irish and Celtic folk songs that Katie used to sing to Kathleen every night to her until she was 22 when she left the house to live semi-independently. These songs include “Molly Malone” aka “Cockles and Mussels” , a...
