Running In Slow Motion with Sidney & Tamra Smith You Hear Good Things podcast network Comedian Sidney Smith and his wife Tamra — a sharp-witted educator with a soft spot for flowers — team up to navigate life, goals, and culture at their own hilarious, at times, in-depth pace. They call it “running in slow motion,” and that pretty much sums up the vibe. This isn’t a marriage podcast (their union ranks a generous 5 out of 10, after all), but it is a refreshingly honest, smart, and funny take on relationships, ambition, and everyday chaos. From real talk to pop culture and unexpected interviews, it’s a joyride of relatable moments and laugh-out-loud observations. Explicit Skipping Church: Science Fiction and Religion Ryan Does You're just skipping church?!?! Pretty much. My name is Ryan Does and these are the spiritual, theological, tangential conversations I would rather have ... Welcome friends! Will you skip church with me? Explicit Still Pretty, a Buffy the Vampire Slayer podcast Chipperish Media In Still Pretty, story expert Lani Diane Rich and film scholar Noelle LaCroix dive deep into the symbolism and narrative in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Explicit Cocktale Hour John, Danny and Kelly Here is where you learn all those things they don't teach in school. Nothing is sacred as we pull back the covers on current events and big picture philosophical ideas.We are podcasting out of Los Angeles and try to keep our identities secret because in real life, we're pretty darn famous.
