Monday was the 17th anniversary of The Sound of Tomorrow's first episode so, to celebrate, Heather has erased Ross and is instead basically doing an hour long ad for her other podcast! (20minutesintothefuture.org) But she's also playing some fun stuff for you so it's not all bad.

Don your finest caftans and get ready for another new Sound of Tomorrow! Today we're talking Mrs. Roper and Three's Company in general and then we realize Heather's in for a challenge because, if she does her Buy Nothing Challenge right, she can't buy a new caftan. But there's probably some secondhand ones around. Then whaaaat? Actual follow up from two weeks ago when we promised we'd let all you parents out there know what to do if it turns out your kid is the bully!!

It's a new Sound of Tomorrow! Contrary to what Heather wanted to hear, Ross said "genealogy" and not "geology." More family stories and way fewer rocks. Spring-boarding from the topic for family history of mental illness, we're straight into Back to School stuff! And what stuff it is. More on this next week as we didn't even get to talk about what to do when your kid if the one who's the bully!

Another day, another Sound of Tomorrow! Today we promise some good silly fun and delve immediately into TERFism and problematic fandoms. We really can't be stopped can we? But then we swear! We bring in the fun with a Can You Believe It set of history facts! Closing it out with good old grocery shopping tips and it's a wrap. (Note from Heather: the show image would be the dinosaur one Ross was talking about if I weren't posting this from my work computer.)

Berry Puff Levant here with the Sound of Tomorrow news! On today's new ep, Ross has a few gripes that really aren't entirely gripes and Heather's adopting drag daughters left and right. A few condensed novels, some Indian Vultures, and Life on Mars and that about does it. Anyone got an 8 mile long straw? Because we are THIRSTY!

Well, we're all over the map on today's new Sound of Tomorrow. Heather's getting over covid (but testing negative! Come on US gov..... make with more tests!), there's a full blue supermoon Sturgeon, etc., moon on Monday (witchcraft!), there's a rooster on the looster (calling all foxes!), and Imane Khelif is suing JK Rowling for cyberbullying (we hope Imane Khelif wins her suit and lots of reparations!). A bit of a content warning on this one: toward the end, Ross tells of the recent loss of his beloved Ludovich. He was a Good Boy and so very very loved. If you want to hear both your hosts cry on air, now's your chance.

We've got your koala-fications right here on today's new SoT. Kicking it off strong with a tangent on STIs and koalas and then right on into SIFT method of verifying whether information you hear is true or false. We hadn't planned on much about Kamala Harris being the likely candidate for president but these things happen and .... maybe we're feeling a little hopeful somehow suddenly?

Ross is back and it's an exciting day for The Sound of Tomorrow! We're talking T-Shirts which is fun and then we're into some more grim areas. Ross has something in his craw and Heather has some laws to talk about. But we cap it off with a fan talk about the cool play Ross was in! So... typical SoT, really.

Wow, for all the little gaffs and forgetting how to speak, it may as well be your old DJHZ what's in the bag! But believe it or not, she's dead sober. Just realllly tired. Still. It's another "Ross is away and Heather will play.... CDs for you" music mix!

Kicking it off with a little "How we spent our Fridays," it's a new Sound of Tomorrow. We stayed on topic pretty well today so stay tuned for lots of artichoke razzing and some way less fun stuff about what JK Rowling's giving the thumbs up to now.

It's chaos, Space Cadets, pure, off the wall hijinkery. But nothing can keep Ross and Heather apart, not late-running work meetings, not construction, not even the deluge! After the tiniest, miniest, mini-DJ set, Ross arrives and we take right off with snack chat, Reader's Digest, space news, a bear? What can you feed your dogs? And why is TV? Like we said: pure, off the wall hijinkery.

Holy cats, Space Cadets, we're back and we're ready to bicker some more!! After brainstorming a hit Hallmark Christmas Classic, we're talking about dogs on planes.

Wow, Space Cadets, it's Suddenly Summer in Rochester and we love it but we're also...... Hot 'n' Bickery! But it's all in good fun! In this exciting episode, we talk about our weekends (wrestling match. improv troupe. a party. Look at us go!). Heather outlines her Adventures in Healthcare (HZ here---anyone wanna come and look at my back? I'd really like someone to check it out.). More news on why AI is bad. And then another loop on back to healthcare! Not bad at all.....

OMG it's Ross's birthday!!! To celebrate, he's come to WAYO after work like he does every Wednesday. But at least there was cake. Today we're off script (what's new) with some scary political stuff and a JK Rowling update (spoiler: it's just sad, bad news) and then we're on to brain worms! That Venn diagram about us being at the intersection of apocalypse and still having to go to work is looking pretty accurate right now, isn't it?

It's an all new Sound of Tomorrow and you know what that means! More pickup lines from Reader's Digest. We've also got some WAYO inside baseball (we will remember now to touch the thing knowingly....) and, while we're touching things knowingly, we're making plans for a PowerPoint Anal Sex Party! After that: gay math and how to try to feel just a little bit happier.

Oh boy oh boy, Space Cadets! Ross has been traveling and drinking those gay bar drinks and fighting with strangers at restaurants! And Heather wants to hear ALL about it!

Ah, Space Cadets, spooky season is upon us and, even though we have no Terrortacular for you this year, we're still in the Halloween mood! We're talking trick or treat niceness, costumes, as in, this is an actual message Heather received before we went on air, "Do you want to go out in costume this weekend or just dress normally and have everyone think we're going as vampires?," and Ross has a list of spookily queer movies that are fun for the whole family and maybe even Heather!

Y'all. I can't go back to reddit. I did Google "'trees of death' reddit" and came up with literal, apparently, trees of death, but nothing that makes sense. Ross suggested after the show that the trees of death that one person was going to set ablaze were probably cell towers and I think he's right. So that's what we're doing, babies. On this week's sound of tomorrow, we have follow up on the government safety album including feedback from exactly one child! We have more conspiracy theories than you can shake a stick at! And we have Jimmy Carter. What more could you want?

Wow, wow, wow, Ross and Heather gonna preach, to quote a favorite song of ours, on this ep of The Liberal Weenie Show!! Men are peeing wrong in the US and they better be washing their butts and hands, ok? You know what? Let's everyone wash their butts and hands. That'll do it. And do the rest of these things to live a super long time. Even as that prospect might sound less than appealing right at this very moment.

We're back live again in the wonderful WAYO studios and, slowly but surely, we are learning our buttons! Today we're talking about witch water and aliens, i.e., the Blue Supermoon and the Skylink Satellite Train (Spoiler: Ross is not a fan). We've got all kind of deliciousness for humans and dogs! And we would love for the US to develop some programs for the unhoused like that have in Helsinki. Because it's still the Sound of Tomorrow and it can't be just avocado toast and dancing around the yard naked

I know, I know.... I was supposed to call this episode "Episode 224: Ross Has a Tiny Tiny Bladder." But we almost always name shows with guests after the guests! Because I'm lazy and it totally works! So--needless to say, this is a fun fun one today because we are joined in the studio by the one and only Malcolm Whitfield (www.malcolmwhitfield.com, if he's remembered to pay SquareSpace after all)! We're talking about what Malcolm's been up to and some personality stuff and we're refuting some of the anti-trans nonsense spouted by a certain Milo, no not the cat from Milo and Otis (Milo was the cat, right? I swear, I saw the movie but it's been a long time). Plus---a caller!!! We have it all on this week's Sound of Tomorrow.

Music today from Visionstain with "Wall O' Worry."

We liked this interview so much, we wanted to play it again!

We did it! Space Cadets, on this very special Sound of Tomorrow, we kick it off with a skit written by the fantastic Austin Rich (featuring an original track by good old HZ herself) and then, after a little black hole update, Lee Chabowski and Rick Brame from Bloody Nature (www.bloodynature.com) call in from their shooting trip in Florida! By shooting, we mean rolling film, of course. Sounds like host of Bloody Nature Dale Attenbrow is handling enough of the, like, gun shooting.... eek. It was a fun call, though, despite the bickering and we sure do hope Stacy is going to pull through! We bid Lee and Rick a fond farewell (stay safe, guys!) and, during the break, patch in, yes, the very writer of the very intro skit Austin Rich calling in from his tour of Oregon! Austin's in clubs, on the air all over the place, and selling all kinds of goodies over at wtbc.bandcamp.com

Music from Lee Chabowski's awesome band The Modern Airline with "Monster on the Campus" (live on WFMU)!
