Words n Turds

by Ben Shipley

Everyone’s a comedian. Our family is no exception - from 6 years old on up - we all gather around the microphone laughing, goofing and talking about things happening in our lives. We go from the inane to (very) occasionally the sublime. We look forward to you yucking it up with us.

Episodes

  1. “You Missed Us! You Really Missed Us”

    After a long delay, our family finally gets back together again for yet another classic Words N Turds episode. This time we sit down with the boys again to get their further insights on schooling during the pandemic, fun and general goofiness. Lots of goofing around and lots of laughs! Enjoy!

  2. A Tenuous Sanity in the Midst of a Pandemic

    Another episode with the entire family discussing what we’ve been doing to occupy our brain during the COVID-19 pandemic. As always, our quarantine doesn’t stop us from the inane to the juvenile - always joyful, always funny! Special Guest - Julee’s Mom!

  3. “How Much Do You Love Me?”

    Like millions around the world, we are stuck in our house together because of the CoronaVirus - and like many others we begin the scientific experiment this week to see how long our family can exist together without bodily harm coming to anyone. One week down and we’re good! In our podcast we…

  4. “On the cruise ship HMS Chaos”

    We get the gang back together to talk about our fabulous holiday journey - cruising through the Bahamas! Plenty of drama and humor as all of us recount the best and worst times on our cruise with a smattering of other random stuff. You’ll be on the edge of your seat! Enjoy!

  5. “Freaky Deaky” Minisode

    Julee and Ben interview Mydas and Banyan about what scares them. As always the non-sequitors are thrown around liberally. Recorded just before Halloween this is the perfect counter-programming to all of your holiday stress. Enjoy!

    A deep and probing interview with Phoenix and her “Best School Buddy” Shiloh. Learn about Shiloh’s impeccable taste in music (Hooray for THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS!), find out their exciting introduction and peak inside their adolescent minds to understand and unlock the secrets of the universe. Great...

  8. “When the Moon Hits Your Eye”

    Our first podcast that extends beyond the family within the walls of our home! Ben interviews his Italian family, Marco and Francesca about their stay in the USA. As expected, much inanity and tom foolery ensues.

    The family around the microphone for their first time - everybody is there Ben, Julee, Phoenix, Banyan and Mydas. Lots of talking, lots of goofiness and inevitable family fun.
