Sandwiched

There have been so many requests for our Christmas Special from a few years ago, that we decided to bring the whole gang together again. (Well, on repeat. We didn't really get together because, you know, elf-isolation...err... self-isolation... see what we did there?) Come celebrate with us all over again!

It's been a while, so Sharon and Trish figured their listeners needed a little update. And who joined them? Matt! Yep. The whole gang back together. Anyway, listen up. You might like it.

Sharon and Trish realized that their Sandwiched Podcast was really about life before and after the pandemic. What are we talking about? You'll have to listen as they cope with life in the era of Phase 3. Are we there yet?

Sharon and Trish catch up with each other, celebrate belated birthdays, and discuss how it's been for 10? 11?  weeks since they first sang the Covid song. You don't want to miss it, do you?

You know how we have so much time on our hands and we're trying things we've never tried before like baking bread and learning Mandarin? Well. How much do we really suck at these pursuits? We chat with the social-media non-influencer, The G, to discuss our hopes, dreams, and failures.

Well. Didn't these two just have the craziest time as the pandemic started! Listen to Trish and Sharon interview the intrepid pair, Matt and Erin, as they describe how the heck they both somehow ended up squatting in Toronto.

Hey something fresh and young this week. Imagine! Trish talks to Kenny and Kelly,  a couple of 30-somethings living in the big smoke. And do they have stories to tell! Do they! Meanwhile, Trish and Sharon always find something to moan about...ummm...I mean celebrate in these days of Covid-19.

Sharon and Trish reach across the ocean to hear what's going on in Scotland and the U.K. during the Covid19 pandemic. Friend of the pod, Wendy, zooms in with tales of drones, yoga, and Boris. And with a great accent too! Listen up!

Buckle up for a harrowing adventure starring our own Matt. Yes, that Matt. As the borders start to close, will he get out in time? Listen up!

Well, we're back from a short hiatus, just in time to give you a smile or two during this crazy COVID-19 event. How are you doing? We are fine and will tell you all about it. We missed you!

Just a brief explanation about our hiatus (and you know how THAT can hurt!)

We've gone back into our vast library to bring you one of the most favourited episodes. Yes, just in time for the festive season, it's our Christmas party episode! Join in as we talk turkey, sing some tunes, and eat delicious Christmas baking. And a Happy Holiday Season to our Sandwiched listeners!

Have you ever wondered why the television networks always show The Sound of Music during the Christmas season? Is it the nuns? The goats? Well we're piling on with a repeat of our fan-favourite SHOWTUNES episode! Enjoy!

Yep, we're going there. A trip down memory lane for all the ways we have watched or tried to watch TV over the years. From huge antennae in our backyards, to Netflix on our phones. You know there will be relatable hilarity don't you? Listen up!

Some stories, some sounds, some smells - ugh - and let's not forget the snacks! Yes, Sharon and Trish take a walk down memory lane (duh!) and trigger each other on the trials of babysitting in the 70s.

Are you like us? Are you challenged by the changing seasons and the clothes and outerwear that go with it? Well, we made a whole podcast about it. Sort of. You know how we roll. Get ready to fill your boots!

Gym class. It either brings back fond memories of friendly games of badminton or volleyball, or it conjures up the horrors of health studies and endless days of folk dancing. Well, Sharon and Trish are going to serve you up a bit of both, but Matt might actually win the prize for the best public school gym class.  Links discussed in the episode: Dialing For Dollars Maple Leaf Stomp  

Trish doubted they could make a whole episode talking about games shows, but wouldn't you know it? They gabbed and gabbed and were relatable and all that kind of Sandwiched stuff. Don't believe us? Take a listen!

It's season three. Yes, you read that right. Sharon and Trish reminisce about their summer adventures of the recent past...and of course the deep past. Because that's what they do. Can you relate?

Once again, Trish and Sharon reach back into the deep vault of our archives (ok it was 3 months ago) for a summertime gem. Camp songs! Remember the ones you thought were racy? the religious ones? That frickin' Kumbaya?!! And what about camp tuck. Blackballs, wax lips, gum that tasted like soap. Yep, nostalgia ain't what it used to be. Relive the excitement of our summer camp episode and try not to sing along.

We've reached back into our massive archives to bring you a summertime fave. Summer camps and first day of school and everything else that makes you happy or crazy in August. Yep, we've been relatable since early season one. Did you ever...? Ok, enjoy!

Just a little shout-out to ourselves. We celebrated one year of podcasts at a fancy restaurant in Hogtown this week. We toasted to ourselves, and to you, our dear and devoted listeners!

Remember the days before weed was legal? When it was dope? Maryjane? All sorts of silly code words so the adults wouldn't know what you're talking about? We sure do. And reminisced about our drug experiences (ahem) before it was all mainstream. Take the magic carpet ride with us again, man. Dig?

The kids are out of school, looking for work...or maybe they're already folding clothes at the local department store (is that even a thing anymore? Hmmm...add that to our production notes!) Anyway, enjoy a look back at summer jobs past!

We can't even remember what the conversation is about this time. We know we talked. We mocked a bit. We went back to our roots and pretty much just had a coffee chat. You don't want to miss us before we take some summer off. Join us!

So many of you have been asking why we fiddle at the beginning...well clearly you didn't listen to our third episode of season one! So do it NOW. (Yes, there may be some summer reruns. Ahem.)

The Millennials sure have a lot to say, so we let them keep going. And if you put your podcast speed up to 1.5, you won't be able to understand a thing they say. Man they talk fast! Anyway, enjoy the kids. Sharon and Trish will take back the mic in June (we hope anyway!)

Hurray hurray it's the month of May! Sharon and Trish will be off celebrating their birthdays (send cards, good wishes, money etc. to sandwiched.ca, thank you very much), so they've handed over the microphones to the millennials. Hear about the sandwiched generation from a whole new perspective, ring pops and kale not included.

It's almost that time again to send your kids off to summer camp. Well, it's still months away, but get into the summer camp mood with our look back at campfire songs, gum that tasted like soap...and so much more!

There's not a man, woman, or child alive who doesn't enjoy a good packed lunch hashtag-amIright? So of course we talk about lunch and food and the San Francisco treat...and so much more. Listen!

From Broadway's golden years, to Disney™ and the jukebox musicals, Sharon, Trish, and Matt get your toes a'tapping and your voice a'singing. This is "not to be missed" podcast goodness, streamed right into the comfort of your home. Sing along - or wince if you must - as Sandwiched celebrates the timeless tunes of Broadway and Big Screen musicals.

Is there any topic we can't spin into a whole episode? Clearly NOT! We tackle the very Sandwiched topic of hair, the styles, the chemicals, the mistakes, the curlers. It's all here jam-packed into one fine episode. Get your curling irons ready...

Really? Talk about work? No one likes work. Work work work. It's all we ever do. All we have to do. But sometimes it's funny. Yes really it is.

Our music episode certainly brought out the stories in you! Who knew Neil Young would be on every list? But also THE RIVAL BOYS! Our listeners are the best story tellers. The best!

From dungarees to low rise jeans. From flood pants to painter pants. Sandwiched travels through time wearing only the coolest of the cool jeans ever. Yes we do. It's Sandwiched: The Denim Edition. Yep.

Well we are back! With a heart-stopping, pants-dropping, hard-rocking, booty-shaking, love-making, earth-quaking, justifying, death-defying, legendary E Street Band. Ok maybe that's a bit of an embellishment. But Trish, Sharon, and Matt take you on a musical journey through the past, and it doesn't suck!

Sharon, Trish, Matt, and few hundred of their friends gather for a party of Christmas presents, party food, pageants, and family Christmas fun. And there are even some surprise guests. Don't miss it! happy Holidays!

This is a promo - with real live dogs - for our Christmas special that will launch next week. You have to hear it to believe it.

Trish and Sharon met one dark fall evening as they had both signed up for adult beginner fiddle. Clearly, they bonded on their hobbies that would get them through the long Canadian winter. So in this podcast, we talk about some of our wacky winter clubs and crafts and sports and stuff. And we almost swear! Imagine!

As we hit some gloomy days in November, we are comforted by the sickly smell of pumpkin spice, and the delicate sounds of invading critters. Sounds like fun, eh?

Enjoy this bonus episode...yes bonus because HOLY CRAP three in October! Costumes and candies from the past. Sharon and Trish (and Matt) aren't spooky at all. And honestly, we didn't even try! (French maid? Really?)

The most 'sandwiched' of topics, marijuana. From being scared of ending up in a Turkish prison, to being schooled by our 80-something parents about the benefits of CBD and THC, we reminisce about our experiences with weed in the 70s, and Matt sort of makes fun of us. (We hope we don't get sued.)

Cornish hens and budgies. Sleeping beside the furnace and more family fun. Get ready for your turkey coma!

Drive-in concession stand food server and bugs. Camp Counsellor, bugs and smokes. You gotta hear it! And we fess up to some earlier mistakes. Our listeners are so smart!

When families go away...and hilarity ensues. Totally sandwiched.

Yes, we have been away, but we just want to let you know we will be back in early September with new podcasts. I know, you can hardly wait. Neither can we. Stay tuned!

Summer treats from our small-town past. And how the seniors get all the fun with their "medicinal" drugs.

We keep forgetting to explain why we fiddle at the beginning of our podcasts. Mystery solved in this podcast! We also chat about our senior parents and tech...this time, online banking. Deep breath...

In this episode, we reflect on the bland, boring food we used to eat growing up in the 60s. A time when having spaghetti and meatballs, or sweet and sour chicken balls was considered exotic.

Sharon and Trish begin their journey to podcast land. They discuss family road trips from when they were kids in the 60s and 70s. Not to mention the food they used to eat! Baloney with little bits of macaroni in it. Seriously. No Bento Boxes back in the day. Join the chat!
