Bonanza premiered in 1959 and lasted for 14 seasons (so it totally counts as a 70’s television show…but more importantly it is one of our favorite shows so we just had to talk about it). It had one of the best dads on television and Katy, Kellie, and Mandy know what a good dad is. Lorne Greene (love him), Pernell Roberts (those eyes), Dan Blocker (the heart of the show), and Michael Landon (darn wonderful man) together with David Dortort (the historian, producer, writer and creator of the show) gifted us with a colorful, quality episodic dream of a series and there is a good reason why you can still catch it on television today. We hope you’re enjoying our music, Watering Trees, by Katy – performed and arranged by Samantha Theisen and Alex Brandenburg. Be sure to let us know if you are enjoying the show and if you have anything you’d like us to cover. https://wekkpodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/wekk-ep-3.3-85-growing-up-70s-bonanza.mp3

Kellie introduced Katy and Mandy to the British sitcom Miranda and all three of their lives may never be the same. So much gratitude to Miranda Hart, the star and creator of the show, for making something so wonderful and giving us permission to be happy (but also stupendously silly) in our own skin. This episode is about the show’s creation, the characters we love, and our favorite moments. We hope you’re enjoying our new music, Watering Trees, by Katy – performed and arranged by Samantha Theisen and Alex Brandenburg. https://wekkpodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/wekk-episode-3.1-miranda.mp3

Were you born in 1969? Katy and Kellie were. So for our first episode of season three we decided to celebrate all things fifty years old (and some quite a bit older). Learn about things that happened in 1969 (moon walking, protesting, murdering, protesting, internet-ing, Woodstock-ing, and more protesting) in this fun, whirlwind of a journey down memory lane….but not our memories….we were infants, people. We remember nothing. Also, enjoy our new music, Watering Trees, by Katy – performed and arranged by Samantha Theisen and Alex Brandenburg. WE’RE BACK! https://wekkpodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/wekk-episode-3.1-1969.mp3

Start your morning off right with Katy, Kellie, and Mandy as they relive their experience at the California Strawberry Festival in Oxnard, CA. Belly laugh with them as they entertain each other with science facts and (in the case of Katy) non-facts…Katy’s observations were mainly just an insane wish list. Mandy did her research, as usual, and Kellie simply knows things…lots of things… Music – Ben Sound – Ben Sound Music Link – Used via Creative Commons Music: http://www.bensound.com/royalty-free-music https://wekkpodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/wekk-ep-82-strawberry-festival.mp3

Katy and Kellie break down what they loved (Kellie) and didn’t love (Katy) about Moving Pictures – the next in the Discworld Series by Terry Pratchett. The imagery – wizards on a wheelchair…ladies holding tiny apes whilst climbing buildings – all top notch. But maybe (if you agree with Katy) there was too much? Or, if you agree with Kellie, just enough. You be the judge. And let us know.

Join Katy, Kellie, and Mandy as they talk about a class they took on how to handle a handgun. For many different reasons (which we talk about in the episode) we wanted to take this class and we each came away from it feeling much more knowledgable and prepared. We experienced many emotions (which we cover in detail) and learn which of us would be the most prepared in a zombie apocalypse (hint…it’s not Katy). This is the first of our adventure/class/instruction series.

We’re back! Katy, Kellie, and Mandy are back and dishing about what is coming up in season three. We are setting off on entirely new adventures and we’re taking you with us. We have a desire to enjoy all that life can throw at us and everything we can throw back. Thank you for being with us for the ride.

Join Kellie, Katy, and Mandy in a conversation about what has them freaked out, thinking, and pondering this week. And then stick around for a discussion about the 9th Discworld novel by Terry Pratchett – Eric.

Katy, Kellie, and Mandy chat about the latest news – Terry Pratchett’s unfinished work, Cassini spacecraft, and Venus – and then discuss a fantastic book – The Flavor Thesaurus by Niki Segnit – as well as Katy’s penchant for creating meals she believes are the “best that ever was.” (She’s slightly delusional, but in a good way.) Then in Growing up 70’s (starting at 28:30) Katy and Kellie discuss Ironside, staring Raymond Burr. It was a show with great writing, a fantastic musical theme by Quincy Jones, and directors that knew how to use stand-ins and teleprompters for their main star (tune in to find out why).

Enjoy a laugh (or two, three, four…) with Kellie, Katy, and Mandy as they discuss a You Tube channel all about dead people, a song that will never, ever, end (or at least not for a thousand years), and the name of the AI who will eventually kill us all. That and a whole lot more is in the first part of this episode. In the second segment, Beer, Books & Tea, Katy and Kellie discuss the eighth book in the Terry Pratchett Discworld series, Guards! Guards! (Starts at 31:30.) How do an group of obsessive compulsive evil doers handle life when they manifest a soul sucking dragon bent on destroying their home town? Spoiler – not very well. This is possibly the most timely book so far in the series with many of the main themes highlighting what is going on in our world today. Plus it is hysterically funny with possibly the best description of a used bookstore ever. Enjoy!
