Q&A with my dad - Happy Birthday Larry!

In this episode, it is Larry’s birthday, and that means he is the one in the hot seat. Patty has curated a brand new set of questions (many inspired by the NPR podcast Wild Card!). You'll learn things about Larry you probably didn't expect. Then we head into our one-day-sponsored-by Ground News segment, where we continue to follow the evolving situation in Iran and keep each other journalistically honest! Text us or send us a voicemail!

The Generational Pendulum - Are We Just a Response to Our Parents?

Does every generation consciously react against the one before it, or is it more subconscious than we think?  In this episode we explore the generational pendulum: the social, political, emotional and spiritual patterns that ripple from one generation to the next. From grandma and grandpa, to Larry, to Patty. We trace the micro and macro trends we’ve noticed in our own family, unpacking the learned behaviours, beliefs and values that get passed down, pushed back against, or quietly absorbed without us even noticing.  Then our one-day-sponsored-by Ground News segment where we turn to the news as it happens. Please note that at the time of recording (February 2026), the conflict in Iran was beginning to escalate. Text us or send us a voicemail!

Q&A with my daughter - Get to Know Patty

In this episode, it gets personal. Larry takes the reins and brings 10 questions to Patty for an old-fashioned Q&A. An insight “into the Patty.”  Then we head into our one-day-sponsored-by Ground News segment, where we dig into a few topics dominating the headlines (at the time). As always, we’ve got opinions.  Text us or send us a voicemail!

News vs Opinion - Whose Truth Is It Anyway?

Is there any real news anymore? When the line between reporting and opinion is blurred, what does that mean for democracy and public trust? What is our responsibility as consumers to interrogate what we read, watch and share?  In our first heated topic episode, Patty and Larry have takes and they don’t always align. We also introduce our brand new segment: the (one day sponsored by) Ground News segment where we put headlines from our opposite angles under the microscope. This one got lively. Rumpelstiltskin!  Text us or send us a voicemail!
