  1. Back From Wherever

    Many podcasters do seven or eight episodes and then disappear. You probably thought that happened to us. Well, for a while it did. Now we’re back. Sorry for the delay. Life sometimes has a way of making itself a priority and you can’t say no to that. In this episode, Rita and Phil discuss a…

  2. PG-009 Musical Impressions

    Hello everyone! Can you believe we’re actually putting out two podcasts within a 4 week period? No shit! Well, part of it is due to the fact that we recorded a longer than usual show on New Year’s Eve. Then it took us forever to get it together. We decided to divide it into two shows. Trouble is,...

  3. Fine pickings from the internet

    Hi everyone! Gosh dang, it’s been a long time since our last post. And we apologize for that.

  4. PG-007 Back from beyond wherever

    Yes, it’s been way too long since the last episode and we’re very apologetic about it. Too much going on. Sepetember was crazy with volunteer activities and then October came and went.

  5. PG-006 Phil reads Randy Scuffle and a walking tale

    Hi there, Rita couldn’t join us this time around because she’s been super busy with volunteer work and this is the high-season for the Berwyn Historical Society and their annual Bungalow tour.

    Hi everyone! This episode is a good one, with a variety of memories, commentary and juvenile behavior. Food: Phil and Rita frequently talk about food and this is no exception.

    It’s been a bad couple of weeks, so Phil and Rita start off with some juvenile humor. Hey we’re all still 12 years old.

And what would it be like in a state in which fireworks are completely illegal, so nobody has...

  9. PG-002 Vegetarian Options

    In this episide of Prehensile and Gretel we unscientifically examine a wide range of topics that, without any prior planning, ended up loosely connected to food. Lemons and Limes: Juice, zest and the summer sun. Vince Van Patten gets a mention in this segment. This episode was recorded just a day...

  10. PG-001 Geology of the Cranium

    Here it is. The very first Prehensile and Gretel show. We cover a lot of ground in just 20 minutes: ICD-10 Code Mockery These are the codes used to describe medical conditions. Some of them are funny. If you google "funny ICD-10 codes" or "stupid ICD-10 codes" you can find a whole lot of...
