We got moon news complete with witchcraft tips for ll your Wiccan needs, we got an Unshelved Mystery (whoosh!), we got some fake old meats, and we got an Ozone Update!

  • Episode 330: Drill Brush Aired: Wednesday, March 13, 2019

    What? A Wednesday without a weather emergency in Rochester, NY? Can it be? Yess...... so we're entirely on point this week (and also en pointe, BTS), right? Nope! Because the time changed! Still, though, The Sound of Tomorrow is coming through with some HOT PICKS, a dog walk warning, and some pseudoscience news for you! That fake meat thing we keep talking about? Probably never going to get to it.

  • Episode 329: Brain Problems Aired: Wednesday, March 6, 2019

    Oh boy.... wow. Yeah. Sorry Space Cadets! After a very funny skit, this week's all new Sound of Tomorrow went quickly off the rails as both Ross and Heather completely forgot how to speak! But they still kept tryin'. SO--on todays exciting and extra-flakey show, we're talking about the fun thing Ross did last week! We're talking Problematic! We're talking.... more Problematic! And Seanan McGuire has a new book out!

  • Episode 328: Snowday Part 4 Aired: Wednesday, February 27, 2019

    All right, I gotta keep this short--it's shoveling time. Again. In today's exciting episode of The Sound of Tomorrow, Ross offers up what purports to be kitty news but turns into a discussion of the US healthcare system! We're doing a quiz! Heather takes a bold stance against tomb desecration! And there's even an Amelia Earhart Update all before the music break! After checking out "English Electric" by The Cleaners from Venus,  we're back with some delicious Oumuamua t and a discussion of anger. Everyone, seriously congratulate Ross on not breaking during the skit. He nailed it!

    Today on this all new Sound of Tomorrow, we have special guest Darren DeWispelaere in the studio!

  • Episode 326: Smooch Smooch Horsie Sauce Aired: Wednesday, February 13, 2019

    It's Valentine's Day Eve and our hearts are warm but our fingers are icy.... because Rochester, NY is covered in ice. Sigh. BUT! That doesn't stop us from zipping through topics at a breakneck speed! We got period emojis! We got the last words of the Opportunity Rover and then we cry just a little bit again about it because we've already cried about it today! We got some Hot Picks! We're late on the middle break but it's "Sing You a Love You Song" by of Montreal and then we're back for... well, yeah, you know we can't just be lighthearted...

  • Episode 325: 7000 Hot Listeners Aired: Wednesday, February 6, 2019

    Well well well, we're on the road to fame and fortune, finally!, on today's all new Sound of Tomorrow! After reveling in the great news about our big break. we're talking about.... a whole load of nonsense, to be honest. We brought topics, really, we did! But Ross talks about going to the doctor for a while and Heather may or may not have had xrays when she was a kid and oh dear.

  • Episode 324: Polishing Our Auras Aired: Wednesday, January 30, 2019

    Hey, wow, it's cold in Rochester, NY and we're doing our level best to move our frozen jaws for you! In this week's show, we kick it off talking about the fun Drag Brunch we went to and then it's time for cheese. Ross fills in the last of the first segment talking about shows he's starred in and we're off to listen to "Coldest Day" by Madness. Because we can't just babble for the entire time, we're back for part 2 with trans youth studies and the new trend affecting women in the workplace. For the love of all that is holy, someone please make it less cold here! Please!

  • Episode 323: Our Feet Are Wet Aired: Wednesday, January 23, 2019

    Yep. Before the show, our feet got wet. So we're cold and not thinking quite right! But nevertheless, it's a brand new Sound of Tomorrow! We kick it off talking about Heather's headshot gone awry (with unplanned social commentary!) and then we're on to talkin' 'bout things we've seen. But you know we couldn't ignore it so, before the slightly belated break, we managed not to call those MAGA sh!ts anything we can't say on the air. Yay us!

  • Episode 322: Virtue Signaling Aired: Wednesday, January 16, 2019

    It's an icy day in Rochester, NY, but that doesn't stop us from being back with an all new Sound of Tomorrow! We kept on track, miraculously, with a discussion in the first half (ish) about virtue signaling and call-out culture and and clutter/TV talk in half (ish) two! Chris Fanning, I'll be right over to wake up those books for you!

    Middle break was "What a Wonderful World" by Major Organ and the Adding Machine. Huzzah!
