The Big Boo Cast, Episode 402

I recorded in a hotel room this week – with my old microphone at that – so a thousand pardons for my sound quality as Melanie and I catch up on the last week of life (truth be told, I think my microphone stopped working about a third of the way through the episode, but who among us is surprised). We discuss Caroline’s 21st birthday, the continued persistence of the raccoons next door to Mel, and why I’m in Atlanta all week long.

As you might expect, we dabble in a little bit of Olympics-related current events, and it’s my turn for Five Favorites.

Hope you enjoy!

The Big Boo Cast, Episode 401

It’s an Olympics-palooza this week as Melanie and I talk about cheering for sports we already love as well as sports where we’re still in a learning curve but no less enthusiastic. ‘Tis the season for “U-S-A!,” marveling at the French scenery, and scrutinizing the Olympic parents’ heart rate monitors. We’re here for every bit of it.

We also break down my family’s weekend visit with Alex’s roommate, and it’s Melanie’s turn for Five Favorites.

Enjoy, everybody!

The Big Boo Cast, Episode 400

It’s episode 400 for our little podcast, so this week Melanie and I do a little reminiscing and reflecting. We’re delighted as always to visit with our most frequent podcast guest, Travis Cottrell, and we also revisit some audio clips that feature some of our favorite podcast moments. Plus we catch up on what’s been going on in San Antonio and Birmingham.

On top of all that, I share an airport story that continues to warm my heart, and it’s my turn for Five Favorites.

Hope you enjoy – and thanks, as always, for listening!

The Big Boo Cast, Episode 399

Melanie and I recorded this week’s episode late Tuesday night, and you will not be surprised to hear some significant audio issues in the back half (I left my headphones in Birmingham, I had to use my AirPods, and about 25 minutes in my AirPods microphone took over the recording part of the festivities). HOWEVER COMMA we have lots to share about our first couple of days in Dallas at Media Days (more to come on Patreon), and we’re thrilled that we managed to record at all because, well, we’re us.

True story: we would have re-recorded if time had allowed. It’s rough going, so thank you in advance for your patience.

We also talk about an unexpected Cowboy sighting, and it’s Melanie’s turn for Five Favorites.

Hope you enjoy!

The Big Boo Cast, Episode 398

Melanie and I were due for a catch-up when we recorded this week’s episode, so we talk about what we did on the 4th of July, my latest Pilates adventures, and Melanie’s commitment to watching The Chosen. I also share a run-down of the last few books I’ve read – because apparently reading is my job now.

In addition to all that, we share some of our thoughts about the most recent developments with Taylor and Travis, and it’s my turn for Five Favorites.

Enjoy, y’all!
