Nurture and Support: Recent Episodes
Nurture and Support
Slow and steady wins the race. Finally another podcast….. Mel’s recommendation: You Need a Budget web app Mel recommends a handy zero-bed based budgeting tool this show. She has actually been using it for over 6 months and it has proved very useful. Annual and monthly subscriptions are available. You also get a free trial period that runs just over a month so you can take it for a spin prior to buying. Kelly’s recommendation: Oranges & Lemons by XTC Kelly revisits a favorite album by a too often overlooked band, XTC. This is a double album featuring … Continue reading →
Nurture & Support returns 🙂 Mel and I hope to get back to at least a monthly update for the podcast. Here is one in a row… Kelly’s recommendation: Oculus Quest 2 After many failed attempts, I finally have a VR device I love. No computer required, easy set up, and amazing VR experiences. Definitely worth a look (and once you get it, get the Vader Immortal series!) Mel’s recommendation: Alien III audiobook Mel LOVES the Alien series. Well, except for Alien 3 movie, which she pretty much hates… UNTIL she came across an alternative script by William … Continue reading →
WARNING: Several Star Wars spoilers (mostly the Clone Wars series) In this “Squat on the issues” episode Mike and I discuss Bo-Katan’s armor, The Mandalorian, and men in dresses. Sorry this one is as timely as we originally planned, but Mike had a few “moments” in this episode that I had to creatively edit. Took awhile 🙂 A YouTube version of this podcast with supporting images is available here https://youtu.be/IGdzykbd1QE BTW… here is a link to the Dylan Knows show mentioned in the podcast https://youtu.be/9Fk_HmrQjQ4 Be sure to subscribe to The Bog Panda YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/bogpanda Thanks for watching!

This week in sort of a Nurture and Support and Squat Cobbler combo, we visit with Gerald Webb about the amazing podcast “The Shadow Diaries” brought to you by the good folks at Studio71 and Snarled Entertainment. This podcast stars Madelaine Petsch & Kara Hayward and around episode 4, our favorite cantankerous, ugly shirt wearing friend Gerald Webb shows up. In a few weeks the season finale will be published and we plan to do a “tweet sync” where we all start the podcast off of the Snarled YouTube channel playlist at the same time and tweet along with it … Continue reading →
Special treat around the 18:30 mark 🙂 Kelly’s recommendation – The Boys This Amazon show is based on the graphic novels of the same name by Garth Ennis. While there are many tweaks, it does effectively bring forward the dark, funny, dark, strange world of the graphic novel. If you have problems with profanity.. not your show. If you have problems with VERY dark situations… not your show. The cast and writing are spectacular! Mel’s recommendation – Art With Flo Just like Kelly, Mel remains on the lookout for a graphic art Sherpa. Flo seems to be … Continue reading →
Some recommendations from two rising TikToc stars…. Mel’s recommendation – Tale of the Nine-Tailed Mel recommends viewing a Korean drama/urban fantasy called “Tale of the Nine-Tailed” (post crowded sourced translation). It is steeped in humor, mythology, action, and a camera-friendly cast 🙂 She also snuck in TicTok, VIKI, and Goblin mini-recommendations. Kelly’s recommendation – Canva While Kelly continues to make progress on learning GIMP, he can still use some help. Canva.com offers outstanding, flexible templates for a huge variety of items from YouTube banners, candle labels, greeting cards and MUCH more. Even if you are using the free … Continue reading →
This week Mel returns to Amazon and Kelly FINALLY learns GIMP (sorta) Mel’s recommendation: Aicook Electric Kettle After years of irresponsible tea brewing, Mel picked up an electric kettle with presets for the best temperature to brew green tea, white tea, Oolong tea, black tea, and coffee. She has really noticed the difference in flavor, and outside of missing the cool blue LED light on her old kettle, she has been very satisfied. Kelly’s recommendation: Logos by Nick YouTube channel After years of irresponsible editing, Kelly is FINALLY moving on from his Paint Shop Pro (version 6) … Continue reading →
Tangent Tally: I lost count This week Dr. Mike were SUPPOSED to talk about MySpace, but as is our wont, we meandered quite a bit prior to discussing it. Perhaps a roadmap of the tangents prior to the discussion of the actual topic would help: Mike’s latest unearned title 2020 Election What country would you move to? Mike’s take on the Bahamas and Canada Costa Rica’s plumbing Kelly’s trips to Canada and England Kelly’s knowledge of French Frozen Niagara Falls Frozen mist and the metric system TOPIC!!! (12:45 mark, link to video below) As mentioned in the podcast (at the … Continue reading →
This week marks Mel’s triumphant return to Netflix and Kelly’s continued quest for good free software 🙂 Kelly’s recommendation: Openshot Well, I finally gave up on the Windows provided solutions and downloaded a new video editor. It is called OpenShot. The interface is pretty straightforward and the features are numerous. It has been compared favorably to iMovie, so probably a good choice if you are looking. Mel’s recommendation: The Witcher Mel finally began to use her Netflix subscription and watched The Witcher (mosting in one sitting). It hit on all of Mel’s favorites… there are books, related video … Continue reading →
Tangent Tally: 4 This week Dr. Mike bravely battled the bad influence that is me as he listened to my latest song playlist featuring John Entwistle solo songs: My Size I Was Just Being Friendly’ I Feel Better Peg Leg Peggy Cell No. 7 Talk Dirty I figured to would be good to also include the Tonio K/Steve Jones song that came up in one of our tangents A mildly edited version of this episode is also available on YouTube. Our feed – http://nurtureandsupport.net/feed/podcast iTunes – Nurture and Support Stitcher, Google Play and The Bog Panda YouTube Channel. Thanks for … Continue reading →
This week Mel recommends some awesome candles you can light and enjoy as you binge Kelly’s suggestion. Mel’s recommendation: Novelly Yours Candles Mel found a clever way to bring up Gideon the Ninth again. That awesome novel – as well as many, many others are represented in candle form on the Novelly Yours Candles website. Mel also pointed out that the @novellyours Instagram is currently posting discount codes! Kelly’s recommendation: The Umbrella Academy I finally got around to watching this due to the encouragement of friend of the show Jeans, and I am SO glad I did. … Continue reading →

Dr. Mike joins Mel and I yet again for this round of recommendations. Technical issues continue, but improving 🙂 Kelly’s recommendation: Secrets of the Zoo The series, on Disney +, features The Columbus Zoo and The Wilds in Ohio. You get a ton of behind the scenes insights on how the animals are cared for and interacted with. Cheetahs, penguins, giraffes and more! There are 3 seasons currently available. Mike’s recommendation: Unsolved Mysteries Dr. Mike recommends the Netflix reboot of Unsolved Mysteries. Each show focuses on one mystery and they do ask for tips at the end. Sometimes, … Continue reading →

Dr. Mike joins Mel and I again for this round of recommendations. Due to technical issues and me forgetting to record parts of the show, sound quality and continuity get a little choppy here and there. Also, for the record, I am not glad Dean Jones is dead. Mel’s recommendation: The Outer Worlds (video game) This game is from the creators of the early Fallout game series. The Outer Worlds contains much of the same spirit and vibe as Fallout… but in space! Mel explains how she can’t bring herself to be the bad guy while Mike and Kelly listen … Continue reading →

Tangent Tally – 2 This week Dr. Mike and I discuss the first album by Tubeway Army, the self titled “Tubeway Army”. This features Gary Numan of course. The sound is a tad more punk-ish than typical Numan fare – not that there really is typical Numan fare given his diverse (and awesome) body of work. Very much worth a listen. As promised, here is the original album artwork… In this episode, you will also learn of Kelly’s appreciation for the grunt in music. While mildly mocked by Mike, perhaps this will open his … Continue reading →
When Mel and I are not buying things on Amazon, we apparently watch YouTube. Mel’s Recommendation – readwithcindy YouTube Channel Mel is a huge Cindy fan and describes her as funny, sarcastic and borderline bitter 🙂 Cindy discusses books and has also started to branch out into Netflix and anime shows… but mostly books. Mel loves her candid (good and bad) assessments. Be sure to also follow Cindy on Instagram and Twitter. Bonus for this recommendation… Kelly learned a new word… “BookTube”. Kelly’s Recommendation – Matt Atkinson Matt is a Gettysburg Park Ranger that provides some extremely interesting battle … Continue reading →

Tangent Tally – 0!! Dr. Mike offers up this episode’s prisoner (album) exchange, Guns N’ Roses “Chinese Democracy”.

Tangent Tally – 1 On a special edition of Squat Cobbler, Dr. Mike and I return to our favorite topic… Alice Cooper. Alice recently released “Don’t Give Up“. This is a song about our resolve to get though this pandemic together. It appears each band member recorded their portions while sheltering at home. In making the video, Alice asked fans to submit pictures of themselves holding a sign with one of the words from the lyrics. Mike and I complied of course… We are still looking for a confirmed Dr. Mike appearance, but I got lucky and showed up at … Continue reading →
Kelly recommends watching TV, Mel recommends reading. Like we do. Kelly’s Recommendation – Disney Prop Culture This is a Disney+ show hosted by movie prop collector Dan Lanigan.

After some shelter at home chat, Mel and I continue our long history of recommending Fitbit products (note to Fitbit, we remain VERY open to trying out new products) and provide a cool recipe as well. Kelly’s Recommendation – Fitbit Versa 2 This is a good looking, long battery life, reliable smart-ish watch at a price point WELL below the Apple Watch and its ilk. The only drawback is no GPS, but that has only been a minor issue for me. Mel’s Recommendation – Artisan Bread in Five As Mel explained it, this site … Continue reading →

This week Mel and I are joined by Dr. Mike and he and I offer a rare joint recommendation. Mel’s Recommendation – Stardew Valley Mel recommends a game that will give you all of the joy of Animal Crossing, but for $7.99 in an app store verses having to buy a Switch.

Tangent Tally: 1 This week Dr. Mike and I discuss the Frank Zappa / Captain Beefheart / The Mothers of Invention album “Bong Fury”. This is a great mix of the two very different styles of Beefheart and Zappa. This episode is also available on YouTube.

You decide… Our feed – http://nurtureandsupport.net/feed/podcast iTunes – Nurture and Support Stitcher, Google Play and Kelly’s YouTube Channel. Thanks for listening!

This week Mel and I offer up two very different recommendations. And I still don’t get ASMR. Kelly’s recommendation – Stobe the Hobo Youtube Channel Let’s address this right away. I sincerely apologize for pronouncing Stobe as “Stub” or “Strobe” throughout the episode. I have no clue why I goofed this up. I think I did it correctly ONCE. Regardless, this is an intriguing channel from an intriguing man as he hops freight trains across the country. Mel’s recommendation – Soke iPad Screen protector Protect your iPad screen and make even better use of the Apple pencil with this … Continue reading →
Tangent Tally: 4 This week Dr. Mike and I discuss the original Marilyn Manson group’s album “Portrait Of An American Family”.

Two pretty good recommendations this week if we do say so ourselves… Mel’s recommendation – Boba Tea from Adagio Tea by Elizabeth O. Mel recommends her current “tea of choice”.. Boba Tea. Also, to help me on my path to tea nerdom, Mel suggested the Ingenuity to brew my tea. Kelly’s recommendation – Roxio VHS to DVD 3 Need to convert VHS or other media to digital? The Roxio VHS to DVD 3 might be the ticket. Affordable and easy to set up. If you like, here is the YouTube version of this episode. Please subscribe! Want to subscribe … Continue reading →

Nurture & Support returns with our favorite guest Dr. Mike. Bear with us since it has been awhile and we had to catch up. Recommendations (worth waiting for) begin around the 8 minute mark, but before that you will be treated to: Mel’s current Internet access situation An audio tour of Dr. Mike’s office/home We do eventually get to recommendations.

Tangent Tally: 2 This week Dr. Mike and I step though another playlist, this one from me. No real theme to the selections, just songs I truly enjoy.

TANGENT TALLY: 2 This week Dr. Mike and I discuss a former hero of mine who had some very unpleasant things to say recently… Pete Townshend. Pete shared in a Rolling Stone article that he was glad Keith Moon and John Entwistle were dead and that he was basically the only thing good about The Who. He also managed to work in the The Who aren’t a band anymore, in an interview to PROMOTE The Who’s upcoming new release. Nice work Pete. Clearly Pete knew we were coming after him and he has tried to back-peddle some, passing his words … Continue reading →
TANGENT TALLY: 3 This week Dr. Mike and I discuss an article on podcasts written by Matt Labash for the Spectator. Yeah, basically we share our thoughts on his thoughts on podcasts on our podcast.

Our feed – http://nurtureandsupport.net/feed/podcast iTunes – Nurture and Support Stitcher, Google Play and Kelly’s YouTube Channel. Thanks for listening! Kelly (@kellythul) and Dr. Mike (@officialpagan)
TANGENT TALLY: 3 This week Dr. Mike and I review an awesome piece of rock cinema call “Cold Cold Coffin” by the bass player of the original Alice Cooper Group, Dennis Dunaway. You NEED to watch this. Outside of discussing this, Mike and I find time to reiterate our deep desire to secure the Battle Axe tour costumes (designed by Dennis’ wife Cindy) and begin plotting our own “Squat Cobbler – Behind the mic” podcast cinema. Dennis… if you are out there… we REALLY need those costumes. Here is the Kickstarter site for Cold Cold Coffin – https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dennisdunaway/cold-cold-coffin-rock-cinema Our … Continue reading →

TANGENT TALLY: 2 This week Dr. Mike and I discuss interesting album extras, most notably a COMMODORE 64 PROGRAM hidden on the “Electric Eye” album by Prodigal. As with most podcasts, Mike has a hard timekeeping up with me – but this week he actually taps out and drops off the recording, only to return full of shame and self-doubt later.

This week Dr. Mike and I return to an issues-based episode, which is EXACTLY what people would want for two clowns that mostly review Alice Cooper albums. Our intent was to discuss the #deletefacebook energy coursing through Twitter.

Tangent Tally: 6 This week Dr. Mike and I discuss “El Camino – A Breaking Bad Movie”. We also reveal we are MAJOR Krysten Ritter fans.

No one thought, and even fewer wanted, Dr. Mike and I to reach 100 episodes. But we did. Episode 100 is full of clips of “special” moments pulled from many of our earlier shows. You’ll hear who all our guests were, a litany of “So Kelly, are you a ____ guy?”, and a few well wishes to boot. We have had a lot of fun with our 1st 100 and look to keep on rolling. Be sure to listen ALL the way to the end for an easter egg and check out a very special (and lightly edited) YouTube version … Continue reading →

Tangent Tally: 1 Another recommendation show this week gang…. Mike: www.movieposters.com A high quality, reasonably priced site to secure… yes… movie posters. An example of a recent purchase by Mike: Kelly: Duel (movie, 1971) A movie that remarkably parallels Squat Cobbler as well as being a great thriller. Here it is in all of its free glory Mike also found this truly Monty Pythonesque movie poster for Duel on his recommendation… Social Media recommendations: Mike: Nikki Bilderback (in a sad attempt to unseat me as Nikki’s favorite) Kelly: #punoftheday (search it on Twitter or Instagram)
This week Mike and I do a recommendation show. We are using OBS and standard Google Hangouts to record now, and I clearly I have some learning to do. I THOUGHT I was muting my mic via the Hangout, but clearly that was not the case. So this episode you will be treated to ice clanking in my drink and nearly omnipresent labored nose breathing. Hopefully for the last time. Sorry!! Kelly’s Recommendation: Colonial cooking and such on the Townsends YouTube Channel Mike’s Recommendation: Unsolved Mysteries: The Unexplained Original Broadcast Soundtrack Social Recommendation from Mike: Terror Vision on Instagram … Continue reading →
Tangent Tally: 2 This week Mike and I are joined by our long time friend, Allison Victoria-Wolfe. We Twitter-met when Swamp Shark aired and Allison has been kind enough to join us several times on various podcasts. She is always amazingly fun to chat with. Since last we met, ALLISON WON SEASON 15 OF WORST COOKS IN AMERICA! We talk a lot about that, Mike and Allison exchange cooking tips, and Allison bravely addresses her anti-cheese stance as well as “the pepper flake incident”. We also get to hear a little bit about a project Allison has in pre-production! … Continue reading →

One of Mike’s favorites… One of Kelly’s…. Mike’ Recommendation: To automate his new secured bunker Mike has started to use good quality, affordable Sengled Smart LED bulbs. And lots of Echos and Dots. Fun fact. This was our last podcast recorded with Google Hangouts on Air. Mike and I wondered when our first one was… March 14, 2013 – Snarkalec Radio.

Two fun recommendations this week… Mike – Arcade 1up Arcade Cabinets Mike highly recommends these price point friendly, not too difficult to set up arcade cabinets. List to the podcast to get the lowdown the pros and cons Some stills rom Mike “Mr. Fix-it” assembly… Bonus pic, Kelly’s old school pinball machine Kelly – FaceApp You all have heard of it. The aging ability is AMAZING. But, might want to consider deleting once you get a pic you like. As promised… old Mike and Kelly…

So… Mike had to record this episode from his phone and the sound quality is pretty poor. Sorry!! We’ll fix it for future episodes. It is super rocky at the start, but improves after the introduction.

This is the first of Mike and I sharing themed playlists/mix tapes of songs. This was Mike’s idea, so we kicked it off with his six song playlist featuring female singers. Pretty great group of songs where you can listen to here.
“I got a Gibson without a case, but I can’t get that even tanned look on my face” Tangent Tally: 6.5 This week Mike and I review the Who’s “Quadrophenia”. This is an outstanding album and we both marvel at the drumming of a certain Mr. Keith Moon. I apologize that I made several unforced errors in the review. I goofed up on what songs were on what side, confused the band member themes, and I managed to explain the song structure of “Helpless Dancer” while we were discussing “Dirty Jobs”. In my defense, I was tired and still in … Continue reading →
“I try to save myself, but myself keeps slipping away” Tangent Tally: 2.5 This week Mike and I discuss the sprawling, 23 song long Nine Inch Nails album, “The Fragile”. As is our wont, we get right to business with Mike saying “Let’s jump right into this.” at around the 11 minute mark of the podcast.

“Vocabulary seems to be the opiate of the people” This week we review Tonio K.’s EP “La Bomba”. Five songs of wonderment. As with the previous review of the Dwarves album, we visit the Book of Proverbs 🙂 As promised, the amazing “Mars needs Women”…
“Everybody needs an antibody” So…. This week Mike and Kelly review the Dwarves album “Blood Guts & _____”. This was a really fun review, but there is a HEAVY dose of strong language in this episode, so wanted to give you a heads up. Enjoy?

TANGENT TALLY: 12 Given our tendency to go off on tangents in past Squats, we have introduced the tangent tally – a feature on all future Squat Cobblers (and past ones when Kelly gets around to it). Just our gift to listeners to warn them in advance on how meandering an episode might be. Also, in what is likely a vain attempt to cleanse future shows from this, we decided to do a show of nothing but tangents to “get them out of our (Mike’s) system”. So enjoy our discussion of hashtag games/bacon/MABA hats/The New Orleans Saints/the “big game”/Applebees/Women’s World … Continue reading →

My prison is your brain, your prisoner’s insane This week Mike and Kelly discuss Kelly’s recommendation – Ian Hunter’s “Welcome to the Club”. This is a wonderful live album featuring the incomparable Ian Hunter and Mick Ronson’s amazing guitar work. As mentioned in the podcast, Kelly had assemble a playlist to fully recreate the actual album experience via YouTube, it can be found here.

“I”ll do anything…” This week Mike and Kelly discuss an album recommendation from Mike – Type O Negative’s “October Rust”. While a bit of a departure from their typical music, this is a very enjoyable album. As per usual, Mike and Kelly go through the album track by track and share their thoughts. As promised, here is Mike’s Grandmother’s favorite track… (honestly) As also promised…
Had we named it, it would have been related to the Sea-man talk at the end of the episode. This week we return to recommendations… Mike – Podcast: Video Palace Available on Shudder and Apple Podcasts, “Video Place” is a podcast about a podcast seeking out rare VHS tapes. So meta.

This week Mike and Kelly discuss the album/EP by Deep Watch, “Endless Fragments of Time”. This work has had its share of controversy given its somewhat sketchy debut on Spotify. You be the judge.
“It’s bigger than King Kong” Thanks to a suggestion from our listener Mick, this week Mike and Kelly discuss Battle Axe by Billion Dollar Babies. When the original Alice Cooper group went there separate ways, three members of the band formed Billion Dollar Babies. The concept for Battle Axe was to be the follow up for the the original group’s final collaboration, “Muscle of Love“. While there are some moments, listening to this album (and Alice’s “Goes to Hell” and “Lace and Whiskey” outings that were also released around this time) point out how amazing the original group’s mixture of … Continue reading →
I’m the bump on your head as you step on the rake At “breakneck speed” Mike and Kelly review the latest Alice Cooper release, the live album “A Paranormal Evening at the Olympia Paris”. Outside of song discussion you’ll learn of Kelly’s deep love for the French and the usual uncomfortable reveal of Mike’s inner passions. In the review, Mike mentioned the cover might be a bit similar to the newest Prince release. You be the judge… Also, as promised, Zorro’s Ascent (sadly, not on this album)
