Shenanigans Episode 354: We're Gonna Need Two Eiffel Towers

In this week's Shenanigans podcast, we're still functioning as a trio. One of us (who wasn't actually here this week) wants us to be more topical. So,,,we start off topical. Make sure you keep your breast health near the top of your list -- men and women. It's all about salt lamps and new basement smells as we start off the show. Allyn goes deep into conspiracy theories and the northern lights make the list this time. We talk about living in the moment rather than living through the screen of your cell phone and Monty Python is still awesome. Even after so many years. As always, this podcast should be listen only with caution in public and at work. We are adult humor.

Literally the Best Reviews: The Defector

The Defector - Chris Hadfield
Mulholland Books
368 Pages

Back in 2021 when Chris Hafield released his first novel, The Apollo Murders, I knew that I had to read more of Hadfield’s books. That book was so good, and so in the realm of the old science fiction novels that I used to love, that I eagerly awaited the next output by the former astronaut. The Defector is the follow up, and while it’s not a science fiction story, it is another great book. This was another one that I grabbed as soon as I saw it hit the shelves at the Lockport Public Library.

Shenanigans Episode 353: He Got Scared Straight, This Guy

In this week's Shenanigans podcast, we talk about the perks of being Gen-Xers and some of the issues we had as the same. Like being a human TV remote and learning how to use commercial breaks wisely. Kids these days have no idea. Hurricanes have been big in the news lately. Allyn learned something very important about those pesky little chestnuts we find on the ground this time of year. Vinnie goes on a long dialogue about home life. While the rest of us may not agree with all his points, he has to do what works for him. As always, this podcast should be listen only with caution in public and at work. We are adult humor.
