This Show Has Everything

Aches. Fever. Congestion. All of the pain that lasts about a day as Bill Gates’ new 5G microchips* take hold in your bloodstream and rewrite your DNA. Now that more people are getting their vaccine shots, Bobby, Meredith, Christy and Hillary are dedicating a show to the inevitable sick day you’ll take (even if you don’t really need it) after you get the jab. And we know you will, because you belie...

It’s a gathering of the TSHE Coven (After Dark™) and we’ve got some petty grievances to air against our families, coworkers, fellow humans, and, frankly, the universe itself. From broken car promises to climate-controlled spaces to skirt (and money!) theft to avocados, we rehash all the things that just grind our gears. Along the way, we decide that some of these grievances are real and justified,...

Grab a glass of the mandatory book club wine as we ponder the start of the TSHE book club! Help us choose a book that does not improve us, has no questions in the back, and will not impart any wisdom (except that John Mayer is probably a dirt bag). Join us as we try to become the next Oprah or Reese! Will Kendell Jenner’s Instagram be our favorite book? Maybe? But Meredith’s bringing the Chardonna...

The TSHE Coven returns for Women’s History Month, and we’re determined to embrace our time to shine. In that spirit, we’re taking the opportunity to cover a trio of lady-focused health topics (don’t worry, guys – you can listen, too!). Christy and Hillary share a few things they would have liked to know before their mammograms. Meredith found an answer to nightmarish menstrual cycles. Ann was (lit...

After weeks of weather delays, the TSHE Cinema Road Trip Spectacular is back on the road as Hillary, Bobby, Ann and Christy head south—“South-South Atlantic,” to be specific. (Except Florida, because that *definitely* needs its own show.) This one’s full of thoughtful choices, from studies of historic inequity (The Color Purple) and not-so-historic inequity (The Hate U Give) to uhhh… lifelong roma...

Your TSHE (T.S.H.E.) hosts have had quite a momentous few weeks! We have lots of life updates with a major focus on the complete failure of the power and water infrastructure in the State of Texas (HEB not included). Follow Hillary’s somewhat meandering soliloquy describing her frozen journey from Nashville to Dallas, and finally to her very waterless neighborhood in Austin. It’s a frustrating, th...

Bobby, Christy, Ann, and special guest host Matt are traveling back to the heady days of picking instruments, finding musical niches, suffering band envy, and making our chorus teachers cry (kids are cruel, yo). We’re discussing our musical histories, bringing up sibling grievances, deciding which group is the coolest * to be in, and asking why instruments are gendered, for God’s sake. In small ta...

The time has come once again when, instead of producing original content for the show, we explore the treasure trove of stuff our listeners (and in some cases, our co-hosts) bought on Amazon using our affiliate links. Plus, Meredith is bested by chips and guac, Bobby is a delicate little flower, Christy is struggling with her senses (also her wifi), and Ann … excuse me, Lady Cordelia Fitzgerald …...

The Coven is back and ready to use our witchy powers for (mostly) good (and possibly a little evil). Today we’re talking about some of the popular shows we came late to love, as well as a few WE WILL NEVER WATCH, SO STOP TELLING US TO. On the list we’ve got genre fare, beloved dramas, renovation tent poles, and game shows from our grandparents’ era. Plus, the trouble with fanatics, a lot of puncha...

This week, we take navel-gazing to a whole new level by way of a Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® personality inventory test. Is it bunk science that shouldn’t be taken out of context? Possibly. Is it stellar fodder for the show this week? Definitely. Listen as we share our results, and then take the survey and see which TSHE host is just like you! As a fair warning, odds are pretty good you’re a Mira...

Looks like we made it! As we finally (hopefully) end the disastrous reign of #45, your hosts at TSHE are finally letting out a big exhale. Join as we give some reasons to celebrate or at least take a big breath and calm down in this (for the love of God) less chaotic era.  In more personal news, Bobby says goodbye to Cupcake (RIP), Meredith travels back to the summer of 1999 in her mind and receiv...

It’s a special edition of the TSHE Road Trip Across America Cinema Spectacular™ as we make an almost-Inauguration Day stop in Washington DC! Of course, our nation’s Capitol isn’t just a place—it’s a state of mind. Our wide array of movies reflects a range of perspectives on government and politics and life as we anxiously await a peaceful (hopefully) transfer of power.   Plus: TSHE Listener and Di...

America had a near death experience this week, and your TSHE crew is here to discuss theirs! As opposed to seditious acts, Meredith, Christy, and Hillary are talking about their close, mostly teenaged encounters with the grim reaper.  We made it through though, and hopefully so will the USA! In other, less fatal subjects, we break down the “Bean Dad'' controversy and our own fathers’ responses (ou...

It’s a new year, but if you want some tips on resolutions, you’ll need to try another podcast, because we’re too smart to challenge 2021 to be better than 2020.  Instead, Ann, Bobby, Christy, and Hillary are examining why we choose certain products over others and recalling their epic battles for our consumer loyalty. It turns out we’re probably more susceptible to marketing and advertising than w...

We’re in the final throes of 2020, and what a year it has been. This week, Bobby, Ann, Hillary and Meredith fire up the mics for a little post-holiday chit-chat, figuring no one would mind if this episode was a little short. (Narrator: It wasn’t.) There isn’t any Christmas magic left but we’ve got plenty of leftover turkey, gingerbread architecture, a forgettable frozen pizza and several batches o...

Are you a hard working lady from the city who has lost all hope for Christmas (and love)? Well do we have a show for you!  Join us as we break down the TSHE Christmas classic (™) A Princess for Christmas. Sketchy Buffalo bonafides, dubious accents, confusing lineage, funky hip hop dancing and Sir Roger George Moore KBE - what more could you want? We also ruminate on Ann’s journey through the steam...

Oh, the games people play. And by “people” we mean us. Ann, Christy and Meredith are pulling out the Monopoly board and arguing over who has to host game night. From computers to tabletops, phones to cards, we’re sharing our favorite time-wasting, stress-relieving, family-bonding fun. Who learned hearts from her brutal grandma? Who shot a lot of bad aliens? And who is a less-than-gracious winner/l...

Some of us worked there, some of us shopped there, some of us fell in love there, some of us just loitered there for hours on end. And now, Hillary, Ann and Bobby are (virtually) out on a Friday night to talk about the mall! How much do we have to say? Just look at the run time on this episode.    Also discussed: Ann’s latest holiday movie review (with a new, ho-based rating system), Bobby’s big n...

Why would you hire a 12-year-old (most likely, girl) to babysit your child (and niece/nephew/neighbor)? We have NO idea, but The Coven (™) will attempt to answer with their varied babies raising babies experiences. From unfair accusations to uncomfortable discussions with drunk dads, we cover our adventures in babysitting (as well as the actual movie, Adventures in Babysitting, which, yikes?). Als...

It’s going to be a small, chill Thanksgiving this year, but that doesn’t mean we can’t still enjoy the star of T-Day food. No, not turkey - we’re talking pie! Pie is (almost) universally beloved, but making your own from scratch is daunting to most people who aren’t accomplished home bakers. Thankfully, one of our hosts has some experience in that realm and has decided to pass her knowledge along....

Bobby, Ann and Meredith fire up the mics on a Thursday night to talk about life, lies and your Amazon buys. We’ve got awkward bathroom windows, accidental attempted insurance fraud, light at the end of the home-repair tunnel, dreams of repeating kindergarten, and for some reason a surprising number of pompoms. Also, our dentists are quite impressed with us, even if they’re (more than) a little rud...

You’ve been waiting for it (we’ve just been really really busy...)! It’s the return of the TSHE Moms Council!  We’re rejoicing in this historic election as well as talking back to school nonsense/situations, a nanny soap opera, pod politics, supply drama, lies involving children, and much more. All that with maybe a touch of celebratory champagne! We (Hillary) couldn’t resist! Additionally, Hillar...

#57: The Real Answer to These Problems is Very Boring I think we can agree that 2020 has been a rough year, and we’re all looking for something to help us feel better. Unfortunately, not all treatments are created equal -some are straight-up quackery- and that’s why we’ve formulated a clinical-strength episode devoted to the problematic “lifestyle brand” Goop. We discuss the allure of “health and...

In honor of her birthday, Hillary leads Christy, Ann and Bobby through a list of 27 of her favorite things! Grab your favorite bike shorts, crop top and fanny pack, and settle in for a show we were extremely excited to record, and not just because it meant the rest of us could coast while Hillary did all of the work. Plus: An overdue Jamtracker™ update, more cracker talk, the battle to be America’...

Is anybody feeling hungry? If you aren’t now, we guarantee you will be once you’ve listened to this show. Meredith, Ann, Bobby, and Hillary are slicing up some cheese, grabbing a jar of fig jam, and talking about crackers. From the platonic ideal of a Triscuit, to a “meat essence” salt bomb, to staples of our childhood, to what we serve when we’re being fancy, we’ve got thoughts about crackers. Th...
