Past Episodes

  • Episode 213: Lady Business, Part II Aired: Wednesday, December 7, 2016

    Space Cadets, remember back in March 2015* when we talked about lady business? Well, we're at it again! I know, I know... like we ever stopped. Anyhow! On today's all new all exciting all ladies all the time Sound of Tomorrow we've got PMS as a cultural malady and the question of popular holiday tune "Baby It's Cold Outside" date-rapey or not. Plus! Live, in studio theatre! You won't want to miss a word.

    Music break from They Might Be Giants with "Bills. Bills, Bills."

  • Episode 212: Social Media Aired: Wednesday, November 30, 2016

    In this exciting episode of the Sound of Tomorrow, Ross and Heather are talking social media, meditation, and voting. What's that? They promised lady stuff, too? Only so much they can get into in an hour, Space Cadets. Sit tight for next week! 

  • Episode 211: Thanksgiving 2016 Aired: Wednesday, November 23, 2016

    Happy Thanksgiving, Space Cadets. On this day and every day, we are grateful for you....

  • Episode 210: Talking Politics with Nick LeVasseur Aired: Wednesday, November 16, 2016

    The political talk continues on this week's all new Sound of Tomorrow but fear not, Space Cadets! It's not just Ross and Heather howling in pain this week. This week, they're joined by local comedian and all-around nice smart guy Nick LeVasseur for a more tempered, more enraged discussion of what's going on in the US and some possible reasons why.

    Music today from Little Jack Melody and His Young Turks with "America."

  • Episode 209: Politics Aired: Wednesday, November 9, 2016

    Oh boy..... Space Cadets, did you hear there was this election the other day? Yeah.... so did we. And we're trying our best to make sense of it all. But it's hard. So, if you want to hear two people trying to grab for any kinds of tools they can get their hands on to understand what happened with the US Presidential 2016 election, this is the show for you.

    If you're just looking for some good music, though, skip to the middle and enjoy "Genesee Queen" by Rochester's own The Fox Sisters!

  • Episode 208: Spooktacular 2016 Aired: Wednesday, October 26, 2016

    [read this all in a creepy voice, ok?]

    Greetings, Space Cadets! On today's bone-chilling Sound of Tomorrow, your spoooooky hosts Ross Johnson and Heather Zajkowski promise you thrills, and chills, and haunts galore! Tune in now for a plethors of all new, all-terrifying material plus Halloween chestnuts like The Undertaker, The Sound of Tomorrow Mash, and Halloween Night on the SpaceBridge. See you all in the cemetery at midnight!...... Hahahahahahahahaha!

  • Episode 207: Hilda Wozinowski Returns! Aired: Wednesday, October 19, 2016

    Halloween is coming, Space Cadets, and something very strange has happened. We don't know how long-deceased original host of The Sound of Tomorrow Hilda Wozinowski got control of the microphones or where she found any of the music she's playing here. And we certainly don't know a single thing about all that nonsense she's spouting about Heather and some kind of sharp, shiny axe.

    Despite the fact that this show was put together by some kind of mad ghost, though, it's a pretty good mix so..... BOO! Haunted radio show.....

  • Episode 206: Friendship Aired: Wednesday, October 12, 2016

    This week on today's all new all fun all in the sun Sound of Tomorrow, the show where WE HAVE SWEET SMELLING HAIR AND MAD RADIO SKILLZ (Ross can change that when he starts posting these, ok? -- HZ), we're talking about...... friendship. And Mars.

    Plus---an installment of Ross Johnson Presents Good Things That Are Good.

    Aaaaaand..... a HOT PICK! If you wondered, the cards that crack me up are from SetEditions.com! Lord. I'm still laughing.

    Music help from Nod with "Owe Love," a off their great album "Magnetic Anomaly."

  • Episode 205: Provocative Aired: Wednesday, October 5, 2016

    Dag..... you know what word neither Ross nor Heather could spell right off the bat? That's right. Provocative! And they're both pretty decent spellers! And only a little smug-not-smug about being so! Good spellers or not, today they're back with the radio game bringing you provocative (lord, that spelling) topics and matters of love and hate.

    Fun fact: when Heather was a kid, she thought that song "Elvira" by the Oak Ridge Boys was about Elvira, Mistress of the Night. Oom Poppa Oom Poppa Mow Mow, indeed.

  • Episode 204: DJ Ross Johnson Aired: Wednesday, September 28, 2016

    Rocking it out old school nerd rock style, it's DJ Ross Johnson! Let's get to the music, shall we?
