We're so glad to have Luc with us today to kick off the fundraiser in fine style!  And do some push ups, too!

  • Episode 308: Duuude Aired: Wednesday, October 10, 2018

    Duuuuuude, the Sound of Tomorrow has gone completely off the rails this week and, really, isn't it about time? In this fractured episode, we're talking about Alaska's fattest bears and how Heather yearns to be one, we're talking 'bout wild vacations, we're talking about book. Then, holy heck, could it be time for the TMBG DAS already! Why yes, it is!  "Flo Wheeler" here to entertain and mystify! The second act brings a wee little voting reminder and lots of great advice for raising your children courtesy of Slate.com and two childless individuals. Phew.... did we mention we're tired?

  • Episode 307: Goblin Boop Boop Aired: Wednesday, October 3, 2018

    Welcome, Space Cadets, to an entirely off the rails and completely new Sound of Tomorrow! This one is great because we kick it off in classic SoT style talking misogyny, rape culture, and voting but, after the TMBG DAS, we're onto a segment we call "Fun Stuff We Promise!" And fun it is.... we got space junk, we got junk junk, we got Pluto in a fancy dress strutting their planet stylee, we got new friends for Planet Pluto out there plus a Mars Rover Dream Date Candidate! Plus books! How do we even do it?! 

     TMBD DAS: "Thankful for Your Service."

  • Episode 306: Rape Culture Aired: Wednesday, September 26, 2018

    Well, Space Cadets, we have a tougie today.... Trying to kick it off light with talk if troubled dreams and a good news update about that group of disgusting anti-choice protesters we talked about last week, it's a quick and deep dive into a discussion of rape culture and the need to believe women. Just do it, ok--just believe women. If not for yourself and them, for us. Today's TMBG DAS is, appropriately, "Lake Monsters." There's no hypnosis like a mass hypnosis 'cause a mass hypnosis isn't happenin'.

  • Episode 305: LaCrooooix Aired: Wednesday, September 19, 2018

    We got a pretty straightforward one for you today, Space Cadets! Ross is back from Hawaii so we are talking vacation time funtime! And stars, too! Let you think we've gone all soft, however, we're also pretty damned angry so.... You know.

    The new TMBG DAS WAYO SoT intro is HERE! And this week's song is "The Communists Have the Music."

  • Episode 304: DJHZ Redux Aired: Wednesday, September 12, 2018

    While Ross is away, DJ Heather will play.... some music! For you! <3

  • Episode 303: Moby Dick Ain't Rock 'n' Roll Aired: Wednesday, September 5, 2018

    Whoa.... holy. Space Cadets. It's hot. It's so hot. So much effluvium..... so many miasma. But that's not stopping us from bringing you and all new Sound of Tomorrow today! Kicking it off with Tales from Fan Expo (Spoiler: everyone was really nice) and segueing seamlessly (nope. that's a lie) into a discussion of making spaces more comfortable for our non-binary pals, the first half even runs a week bit long! Part two is books books books and more book! Because we know you love it when we talk about books.... <3 Next week, DJ HZ returns! Got a request?

  • Episode 302: Potpourri Part III Aired: Wednesday, August 29, 2018

    We're cleaning house on today's new Sound of Tomorrow, digging deep into our bags of saved-up notes and pulling out only the best leftovers for YOU! We kick it off with some follow up from past shows and then we're onto Conversational Narcissism (but aren't we always?). Note: we're not corporate shills for Olive Garden. After the TMBG DAS, Last Wave Alternate Version, we're back with books books book! Tossing out a few fun facts about weird or not so weird stuff people do in farewell, we gotta make make way for Music Matters! Because, indeed, it does.
