This week I’m falling behind and catching up in an online Irish class I’m not really learning from anyway… which is totally my own damn fault. I also bitch about having china and crystal foisted on me and muse about...

This week I have a new podcast with a friend and I blab about the Cherry Poppin’ Daddies. I also complain about loudmouth old hags making sure the entire track and field oval can hear all the details about their...

This week’s show features a long rant involving Bono (but unlike early episodes of this show from years ago, I’m not mad at or about him) as compared to a certain bass player and his unnamed band running a contest...

This week, I rant about daylight savings time and morons who love it; tell a story about “the power of TWO schools here!” from my days as a studio assistant; and talk about recovering from the world’s stupidest injury. Also:...

Well, we think we’ve finally evicted the squirrels, but the little bastards are now trying to chew their way back in. In desperation and based on internet hearsay about human voices repelling squirrels, I turn to Monty Don and the...

This week, the war with the squirrels continues with the squirrels still finding ways in through the soffits and holes they’ve chewed to access the attic. There’s also a new maQLu compilation/album “Odds and Ends” and I insist the INXS...

Shit’s getting real in the war on the squirrels in the attic, complete with plans for nasty spike strips to make ol’ Vlad the Impaler proud. Also, some ugly British celebrity claims to have a sex tape she might sell...

This week I have a new writing schedule that I sorta kinda actually stick to. Sometimes. I’m also working on my writing portfolio, including writing completely new pieces to replace others that seemed good enough even two months ago, which...

This week I’ve been updating my blog and a few other places, which leads to me talking about when my site got hacked in 2019. I also reminisce on the time my mom found an interview with the degenerates in...

Well, it’s been… years… but I’ve decided to relaunch my rambling old podcast. Because why start a new podcast when I have one I can dust off and relaunch? This week includes: a nutshell recap of what I’ve been up...

Yet another reboot: After getting lazy and skipping the show last week, this double-wide episode has a dose of the old version of the show as Pyra raves about the wonders of an obnoxious old cartoon called Kevin Spencer, swaps...

This week, Pyra gets her shoulder hurt, sorta; plans to reformat one of her other podcasts; and discovers she might be accidentally micro-cheating on pranayama but it doesn’t matter since she changed pranayama techniques. She also reads a blog about...

Yes, as per the title, change is afoot here. Pyra makes a decision about the future of the show: she’ll change the direction and format of this show to be more of a reflection of her changing priorities and direction...

Another week, another show, another tattoo session… Also, Pyra decides she should maybe learn Japanese in case she decides to do the Shikoku pilgrimage years from now, has an online business idea that she won’t discuss because Google, and talks...

This week, Pyra whines about her sore throat, gives a brief report on last week’s Left Spine Down show, and discussed the end of her music project maQLu. Also: a blog about the manufactured outrage over Roosh’s meet-ups vs. the...

This week: Pyra slowly starts working on her New Year’s resolution to cook at home more but opts for McDonald’s rather than risk “catching the hipsterism” on Main Street; helps her brother with WordPress; mentions her growing mini-obsession with the...

On this week’s longer than expected episode: Pyra’s been lazy, but prefers to call it being in hibernation mode. Pyra also contemplates the future of the show and admits needing focus, falls off her hooker heels, gives a couple of...
