Trying To Be Better with Joel and Steve

TTBB 86 - F*@# Your Feelings!

Joel (shockingly) has an issue that needs to be unpacked.  It turns out words can be hurtful (even if not intended to be so) - and that people's feelings *are* valid.

Also if you are watching Better Call Saul but haven't finished it - here there be spoilers. (Sort of.  Proceed at your own risk.)

TTBB 84 - The Chaos of Chaosness with Brian Griesbach!

Joel and Steve have a Marvel-ous conversation with comic book aficionado Brian Griesbach! 

(The person responsible for the pun in the previous sentence has been sacked.)

TTBB 83 - Joel and Steve Face The Music

Joel and Steve get called out!  Finally!  Former guest Eduardo Bousson emailed with some thoughtful and rational critiques of recent epidsodes. Joel and Steve also randomly ran into each other in person last night - it was weird and great! They talk about Lincoln Calling music festival, and other local music events/acts - and how they are increasingly out of touch with what's happening. Joel is prepping for his tenure application, which we know will go well!

TTBB 81 - They’re Baaaaack!

Joel and Steve put up a new podcast after taking the longest break since they started the podcast!

They talk about Joel's trip to the Pacific Northwest, "Newsies" at the Pinewood Bowl Theater, a book by Sam Tallent called 'Running The Light' (which you should go get right now), the Dan Savage Lovecast - and the passing of Steve's friend Seth.

You can hear Joel and Steve's April 2021 conversation with Seth after his brain cancer diagnosis here:

TTBB 80 - This Is Not Fine

Joel and Steve discuss the Supreme Court's repeal of Roe v. Wade.  That's it.  If you're pretty OK with that - this is not your podcast.

(Let's face it - anyone that is OK with that stopped listening to Joel and Steve a long time ago.)

Joel and Steve are OK with this going on their permanent record.
