Plus, our verdict on the Freaky Friday sequel (Freakier Friday), Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson's rumoured romance, “recreational argument” families and the recent but inescapable rise of rage-bait, from Sydney Sweeney's genes and the Skims chin strap, to sex stunts and wedding cake-smashing.

“You know you're adopted, right? I'm telling mom!” In this week's episode, Alex and Jon discuss sibling relationships and how you can be best friends as kids and enemies as adults. Your “built-in best friend” doesn't sound so great when they're stealing your inheritance or picking the same baby names as you. People say Alex and Jon look like siblings and although they swear they're “husband and wife”…it makes you think why they always argue…like children. 0:00 - Intro33:21 - I Want More Alone Time35:26 - Do I Need To Have Two Kids?39:37 - Siblings as Coworkers 41:41 - I'm Not Sharing My Inheritance46:33 - Can You Watch My Child?55:41 - My Brother Picked The Same Baby Name1:00:59 -The Craziest Alaskan Wedding1:05:03 - Oh Brother!

We finally know which pricey infrastructure projects Denver voters will be deciding on this November, because earlier this week City Council approved the $950 million Vibrant Denver bond package. Did every neighborhood and community group get what they wanted? We talked about the bond a lot over the last few weeks and listeners, especially transit advocates, had thoughts as well — so host Bree Davies and producers Paul Karolyi and Olivia Jewell Love are reaching into the mail bag. They discuss your takes on bike lanes, back-to-office mandates, Mexican restaurants and issues that could dominate the 2026 elections. Bree mentioned this WHYY article about Philly's return-to-office mandate last year.  What do you think? We always want to hear from you!

This week we're diving into the pressure female authors face to turn their personal trauma into marketable content. Why is women's fiction so often mistaken for ‘autofiction'? And why does the publishing world seem to reward pain over imagination when it comes from women? Writer (and returning guest!)

To send us a message go to our website and click the Contact button.   You can find Suzy Krause at her website suzykrause.com/ and on IG at @suzykrause   Usually, Christmas in July sales feature new cars or mattresses, but we are giving you a Christmas in July book episode. Our guest this week is Suzy Krause, a Canadian novelist whose book I Think We've Been Here Before is set in the few weeks leading up to the Christmas holiday in a small town in Saskatchewan.  This book is cozy but not in a way you would expect because something terrible is about to happen.  A cosmic event is going to end the world, and residents have several weeks to prepare.  But this apocalyptic story is hopeful and uplifting and makes you feel good.  How can you combine the end of the world with Christmas and make it comforting?  That's what we asked Suzy because she has written a book that is nothing like I've ever read.  It's like a little unexpected gift under the tree.    For our book rec section of this episode, we are talking about diaries. And no, we're not going to be reading from our diaries because that would be a snoozefest. We've selected both nonfiction and fictional diaries that allow us to get a sneak peek into a historic event or a situation that we don't know much about.    Books Mentioned In this Episode:   1- I Think We've Been Here Before by Suzy Krause 2- We Need To Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver  3- A Mother's Reckoning: Living in the Aftermath of Tragedy by Sue Klebold  4- The Lathe of Heaven by Ursula K. Le Guin 5- Space Crone by Ursula K. Le Guin  6- The Millicent Quibb Schook of Etiquette for Young Ladies of Mad Science by Kate McKinnon 7- The Cicada Tree by Robert Gwaltney 8- A Five Star Read Recommended by Fellow Book Lover Lizzy Roth - Dead Water by C.A.
