Ep 23Ep 23 - Mustache-Grown Diamonds and Wafeles with Covfefe

E

This week the DTH Gals, Cara and Brea, discuss how cold it needs to be to freeze a mustache; how awesome you need to be to invent something like waffles; how bad you need to be to get into one particular U.S. symphony orchestra; how amazing one U.S. poet was and how tragic it is that more people don't know about her; how long muscle memory and neural pathways last; how lab-grown diamonds are made; how relatable Ron Livingston is as the title character of a new-to-Cara show; how nasty one football player's line of microwave meals is, according to reviewers; how annoying Microsoft Word is when it gets stuck in the wrong language; and how delightful classical guitar--and one guitarist in particular--is. Of course, there are some side trips along the way, so get in, buckle up, and enjoy the ride.

Ep 22Ep 22 - Jack the Ripper with the Shawl in the New Yankee Workshop

E

A little thing like single digit temperatures isn't going to stop Brea and Cara from recording an episode for their DTH Besties.

Tune in to hear the gals attempt to pivot from their recording routine (yikes) to avoid the oh, so frigid temperatures!

Ep 21Ep 21 - Bicycle Monarchies and the Juggalos Who Love Them

E

This week, DTH Gals Cara and Brea explore the equally foreign-to-them worlds of monarchies, hip-hop screamo fans, UFOlogists, archaeologists, birdwatchers, and fans of all things creepy and mysterious. Brea also researches what to buy for a milestone birthday of a classy sister who has everything (hint: it ain't classy), while Cara bores herself senseless with two of her least-favorite topics. We're sure you'll find it fascinating, though. All that with some fashion and orthodontia thrown in for good measure!

Ep 20Ep 20 - Clippy the Paperclip and Presidential No-Nos

E

This week, the DTH Gals discuss a place U.S. Presidents aren't allowed to visit, and one Commander in Chief who defied the rules; old idioms using obscure words; one of the "50 British actors" and his medical condition youngsters sometimes think is just him being cool; butt cushions (of course); fashion; marketing gimmicks; sailing etymology; state symbols; weird (unless you're into that kind of thing) porn and the rule associated with it; and LIT birthday celebrations (Cara gets schooled). Could they possibly cover any more topics? Probably. Tune in to find out!

Ep 18Ep 18 - World War II, Cashew Chicken and Other Conflicts

E

In this week's episode Brea and Cara run the gamut of topics from Clams Casino to celebrity deaths in 2023.

Ep 14Ep 14 - Chivalrous Thugs and the Mystery of the Pork Butt

E

How many times can two people use the word "butt" during a podcast? Twenty-six. No, they aren't interviewing Tina Belcher. The gals are taking a deep dive into pork this week. And buffalo.

Foot fetishists (and haters) rejoice! The DTH Gals are talkin' feeeeeeet in this lucky thirteenth episode. Why are feet so weird? Is Brea secretly foot obsessed? Why is Cara so self-conscious about hers? And why the heck are they talking about it?! Also, what is an OBE and how does it differ from all of the other "Look at Me, I'm Fabulously British" honorary titles given by the royal family? All that, plus the ladies recap their Halloweens and an equally scary (bad) football game that has them thankful for November and the fast-approaching holiday season. Press play now!

Brea and Cara are home from South Carolina, and everything's back to normal... well, as normal as these two can be. The DTH Gals are taking a trip back in musical history to the 90s and even further back, to WWI. Back to the present, if your car audio app isn't playing nice with your phone, Brea may have the fix for you. And Cara delves into the origins of the name of a famous crime-fighting organization.

Cara shares some more war terminology from her educational exploits into Ken Burns's documentary, "Vietnam." And serendipity continues to reign supreme as the women discover the things they've both discussed during the week, separately, with other parties.

Ep 10Ep 10 - Historically Bad Choices and the Clumsy Gene

Ep 8Ep 8 - Clown-Faced Toby Jugs and Nocturnal Sea Monsters

E

Can a person have a caffeine hangover? Yes! Because the DTH Gals are both suffering from one during this episode. Listen, if you dare, as they discuss sugar chests, toby jugs, backfiring trash talk, and basement antacids. Cara takes a deep dive into a subject already covered by Brea in Episode 7 (Alzheimer's Association, please sponsor us) and publicly declares her love for Iris Apfel. Brea shares a brilliant idea to upcycle her life-worn end tables and begs listeners for a cure to an ailment she inherited from dear old Dad. All of this and so much more!

Ep 7Ep 7 - Chimeras, More Than Meets the Eye

E

Last week, it was miniature donkeys; this week, the DTH Gals crack themselves up over cartoon donkey impersonations. Brea goes overboard with searches inspired by her morning logic puzzles, while Cara once again transforms the podcast into Memory Lane, crooning along with some Cranberries tunes and talkin' childhood 'toons. Plus, are you ready for some football? These ladies are, and so is one toy maker who's already riding high with a hit movie this summer and now wants to cash in on a little NFL action. All that, AND the continued NAME THAT CAR debate on this week's Delete This History.

The girls continue wading through the nostalgia pool and learn about a must-have item for football season. Join the DTH Gals for another week of internet searches that must be deleted!Author Robin McKinley's Blog: https://robinmckinleysblog.com/
