10-questions: rocks, hummingbirds, music, coffee education, and more
It had been a while and we had had a bunch of plans and ideas including music reviews, a book club to discuss The Road, and a bunch of other things we'd not gotten to or simply forgotten about. Clearly, we haven't done any of these. So we leaned into our standby, a series of 10 questions from…

10-Questions: Neighborhood strolls, being a dog, hobbies, and more
Finally getting into the new year, here's our latest 10-questions contribution. And, as we suspected, Adam misidentifies the organ played by Booker T. It was a Hammond, not a Wurlitzer. (So embarrassing.) Also, there's an announcement here that we're taking suggestions for future music reviews....

2025 in review
During one of the 50ish hours when we had a chance over a Christmas holiday gathering, we revisited this annual recap tradition with all family members, including Sam's podcast debut and quick cameos from Gus and Nina. Rather than being one more thing-to-do in the midst of the visit, this was…

on the job
Representing Gen X and Gen Z, Adam and Reed consider the nature of jobs, careers, and working. We compare how we each have gotten jobs, how we experience our work, and what we aspire to in our futures.

10-questions: Still surprising, even if we’ve asked these before
After a long pause we're back with a new 10-questions episode. We don't think we've asked any of these questions of each other in the past, but we also know that we can't really remember. At least the answers are different -- and surprising.
-
10 Questions: Spleens, hygiene, media productions, Irish traditions, etc.
A 10-questions episode after a long pause in our mouthsounds production cycle. It was simply nice to touch base and talk about things that matter--and a lot of things that don't. A longer recording but we had a lot of unimportant things (spleens, hair in food, PhDs, etc.) to catch up on.
-
2024 in review
It's now a tradition: Reed and Adam welcome special guests Anna and Karyn to review the year's notable, memorable, and otherwise "best" events, occurrences, and revelations. It's better than writing a Christmas card and more fun to talk to one another about our collective experiences in 2024.…

10 Questions: Ingratitude, travel, evolution and much more …
Reed's in town, so that prompted this typical 10-questions structured episode in which we surprise one another with curious prompts about life's great mysteries. What kind of fish would you be? What Muppet would you travel with? Revealing truths about family members, aspirations, mantras, and so...
-
Cars, Coffee, Cribbage, Career: a review
The 4 c's, one might say. Or just a random assortment of what life dishes up to put into a review episode. Originally we conceptualized a review of our day-to-day worklives, and then we'd realized that a review of cribbage would be interesting, and then we thought that probably we'd be drinking...
-
musical revue
Apparently and accidentally it's a tradition now: Our third review of musical selections in as many years. We mostly use this as an excuse to share some tracks and stories of how we relate to them, but also some cutting edge new recommendations from one album that is only days old, as well as one...
-
on feelings
We explicitly promote Mouthsounds as a podcast in which we do not speak of feelings. But we do reviews and we do ask each other questions, and in this case we decided to bend our own rules for this Very Special Episode so that we could essentially do a review of emotions. Reed and Adam each ask…
more -
history and future, myths and truths
A return to our 10-questions format after some time away. Brand new questions not heard on any other podcast, along with the same solid answers and life advice you've come to expect about important and wide-ranging topics. Reed contributes outstanding life advice to his parents in the same…
more -
whiskey business
It's been a while, but we're back at a live recording in which we reminisce a bit about a few things, most especially about travel to Ireland that included fish and chips (an original theme of this podcast endeavor) and whiskey. We sample Irish whiskeys and talk about our impressions and...
-
Jesus of Nazareth, David Attenborough, elephants, aardvarks, et al.
A 10-questions episode in which one of us will say, "I have very little experience with elephants," and the other will state unironically, "I haven't read any of the Jesus books, but I have seen some Batman movies." This and much more intellectual ground is covered.
-
2023 in review
We made good on our promise to welcome back special guests, Anna and Karyn, as contributors to a family year-end review. Again, there are more feelings than usual, but also great recollections of the year and recommendations of stuff to read, paths to walk, things to watch, people to visit, and...
-
Coffee tasting with limited slurping noises
Reed's home! We haven't been able to coordinate a recording until now, but being in the same place and being right up the street from our favorite coffee shop, it was time to finally make good on our intention to sample espresso drinks in front of the microphones. Finally, listeners can learn…
more -
Potatoes, yoga, bigfoot, and other made-up stuff
Notable quotes from this 10-question episode: "Potatoes are great." "That's a choice." "I just do things or don't do things." "That looks like a recipe for having broken glasses."
-
Music Review 2: The Sequel
In this latest installment of our 5-star podcast we offer our second review of music, highlighting songs in five categories picked by each of us. This brings up a collection of conversation topics, themes, and historical figures including Supreme Court Justice Alito, Jesus, and Billy Joel. We…

21 an episode with questions about adulthood as well as more important things
Number 21 is a 10-questions episode on the leading edge of Reed's 21st birthday including a surprising number of coincidentally interrelated topics from the father-son duo. We range widely, Supreme Court decisions to beverages to time signatures, with lots in between. (And Happy Birthday to Reed,...
-
20 a review of Ted Lasso
Now that the show is completed (we think), Reed and Adam review Ted Lasso in its entirety. Or at least the parts that we care to talk about and how we relate to them.
-
19 twenty questions, including one about being 21 in 2023
One of our favorite things, a 10-questions episode, alternating queries between the two of us to explore our ideas about sock matching, favorite shows, annoyances, admirations, etc. We also poke fun at librarians, dads, physicists, and moms.
-
18 a year in review, 2022
Our special contribution to society is this review of the year after the entirety of 2022 has completed. Better yet, we include special guests, Anna and Karyn, to review music, movies, outings, fruit, members of the judiciary, shoes, and many other categories not covered by other podcasts or...
-
17 everyday and extraordinary
A long overdue 10-questions episode in which Adam provides thoughtful, homegrown inquiries while Reed lets the internet source his questions. It works. We talk about all the things from everyday boiled vegetables, shoes, and classes to facts about the origin of our existence, jazz on vinyl, and...
-
16 ten questions, pacific timezone
Reed's moving back to the dorm in Oregon where he's getting ready to start as a new resident assistant. We recorded this 10-questions episode the night before, discussing not only our adventures but the flavor or radish and the color of chartreuse; and we also tackle big issues like art,...
-
15 fathers and sons, birthdays, and a court date
Reed and Adam review favorite father-son relationships in fictional settings, wonder about how these stories are told and which are the most admirable examples, and ponder why so many storytellers kill off the moms before the stories even start. Also, it happens to be Reed's birthday when we're...
-
14 CD Revolutions, the Best Boat Name, a Treatise on Snow Globes, and Boring Contemplations on Fruit
In which Reed returns to his childhood home for the summer and we contemplate the midway point in his college career. We respond to a listener's questions, incorporated into our regular 10-question format. This wide ranging conversation hits on all of the most important topics, including various...
-
13 A Pandemic review with a side of Supreme Court
In which the father learns from his son how the Supreme Court works. Also, a review of the pandemic, revelations about the effects of podcasting, the value of university coursework, and other reflection.
-
12 College Majors, Flying Dragon Poop, Pre-Netflix History, and more.
This eclectic 10-question episode covers lots of ground, including stories from Adam to Reed about how the days of old transpired with the advent of email, CDs (and mixtapes, too!), and no glimmer of Netflix or even the internet as a web of information. We also steer discussion towards important...
-
11 A More Normal Very Special Episode
In which we get back to our roots, a typical review episode, but with the special addition of a guest. Along with Emma, we review Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. And, we also review Utah. Spoiler alert: Both are good. Other bonus information and discussions about school, brine flies,...
-
10 Our Review of Song Covers
In which we take on the technical challenge of recording ourselves and samples of audio all at the same time. We came across the idea to review song covers -- remakes of original songs -- in comparison with the originals, when Adam was trying to get ideas for how to play Dua Lipa's "Levitating"…

09 New Year, New Questions
In which we revisit our new occasional feature of 10 Questions posed by each of us. Deep discussion of pressing issues ensues, including Santa Claus, conspiracy theories, the French tuck, and our overall life purposes, trajectories, and aspirations. Also includes acknowledgement of our...
-
08 Ten Questions
During Thanksgiving break, Adam and Reed were able to record in the same room with the help of a borrowed mic and some borrowed time. We changed things up by devoting our podcast to 10 questions we each came up with to ask the other. We almost talked about feelings. And also, Darth Vader.
-
07 A Walk in the Woods
In which Adam and Reed discuss a visit that includes a walk in the forests of Western Oregon. We also discuss some music and the best coffee.
-
06 Role Models
It's a good bet that there is no other podcast that considers both John Belushi and Jane Goodall in the same conversation. Reed and Adam review Blues Brothers, talk about college food, and discuss the merits of the game of cribbage.
-
05 Back To Schools
In which Reed and Adam talk about being back in school and what they're learning so far. A review of a Mary Oliver poem and a check of the listener mailbag is included. (Spoiler: There was no mail to respond to, but you can contact us at [email protected] and we'll respond in a future...
-
04 Moving Day
A special edition of mouthsounds in which we record from a stranger's RV in western Oregon. More important, we've just completed a day's drive in preparation for moving Reed into the dorm for year 2 of college. We discuss the roadtrip and what to expect and hope for in school.
-
03 Character Development
Reed and Adam review Schitt's Creek and then discuss favorite TV shows and admirable characters, on screen and otherwise.
-
02 Fish and Chips, Favorite Trip, and a New Pet
Our second episode features a surprise guest, consideration of favorite foods, a best trip, and the potential of a new pet. Also, we muse about whether or not we could have sponsors and intro/outro music.
-
01 The First Episode
Our first episode, which we like to call "Episode IV, A New Hope." In this podcast, we introduce "Mouthsounds," both the idea and why we use it as our podcast title. We review "Black Widow," talk about coffee shops and teaching, and generally warm up for future podcast recordings.
