The Wrench and the Pauper

from Fairly Harmless · host Fairly Harmless Squad

Andrew and James open up with James confidently mixing up Tommy Lasorda and Tony La Russa. Two different people, two different teams. Not even close. The NBA takes a beating next. Neither host has cared much since the Jordan-Pippen Bulls, and they will tell you exactly why. College ball is a different story: real teamwork, real stakes, and an NC State shoutout for good measure. Then things get entrepreneurial. James pitches Shelf, a dating app for people who can balance a plate of food on their stomach, and the brainstorm spirals into a full graveyard of cursed app names: Doormat, Wrench, Turkey Baster, Meat Mallet. The episode closes with an enthusiastic, completely unpaid endorsement of Prime Barbecue in Knightdale, and a nod to Longleaf Swine in Raleigh, who referred the business to a competitor when their equipment failed before a catering job rather than just canceling. Integrity in the barbecue industry. It exists.

Star Trek: Romulans Bearing Gifts E.A. Escamilla & C. Holmquist Romulans Bearing Gifts podcast hosted by Eric, Cat, Carl, and Caleb. We set out to discuss episodes covering all series and eras of Star Trek. We've been podcasting together for quite some time on Sci-Fi Party Line, Mostly Harmless Cutaway, and Prognosis Negative—from Sci-fi to Doctor Who, to film, we are finally focusing on the original wagon train to the stars, STAR TREK. We started covering some of the newer series episodes with Picard S2.Each week the regular hosts take turns selecting any episode they like, non-chronologically and as a group we discuss. Occasionally other guest hosts and friends-of-the-show may drop in with their own picks as well. |VL Explicit Tired as Moms Mostly Harmless Media Two moms tackle the realness of being a mom - the expectations, failures, heartfelt moments, and the exhaustion. We meet weekly to laugh over wine as we cover various mom topics - work/life balance (or lack thereof), always being late, hidden poopy kid underwear, school car rider lines, random mom rules we have to follow, and many, many more. This podcast is raw and real. If you want the truth in all of its glory, this is the podcast for you. Have some fun with us and listen to our real-life stories. Get ready to laugh! Explicit WTP Paranormal Podcast Lee Gant and Andy Naylor What's the Point?... Paranormal podcast taking an irreverent and normally fairly sceptical look at all things weird. Explicit Tony Martin’s SIZZLETOWN pots n pans productions Welcome to SIZZLETOWN, the award-winning ‘late-night call-in podcast’, hosted by comedian and broadcaster Tony Martin, with Matt Dower on the ‘pots n pans’. All the callers and guests are played by Martin, via the elaborate editing and sound design of fellow ‘Get This’ veteran Dower. What starts as a fairly straightforward concept (with just three sound effects) becomes steadily more complex, with full-blown musical numbers, multi-caller forums and a talking cat. WARNING: Frequent foul language, and concepts both adult and juvenile. Explicit
