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.… Continue reading Growing up 70’s – Bonanza

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… Continue reading Wekk Podcast – Ep 84 – Miranda

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… Continue reading Wekk Podcast Ep 83 – 1969

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… Continue reading Wekk – Ep 82 – Strawberry Festival

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,… Continue reading Wekk – Ep 81 – Beer, Books, & Tea – Moving Pictures

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… Continue reading Wekk – Ep 80 – We took a class!

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… Continue reading Wekk – Ep 79 – Season Three!!

Join Kellie, Katy, and Mandy in a conversation about what has them freaked out, thinking, and pondering this week.

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… Continue reading Wekk – Ep 77 – Growing up 70’s – Ironside

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… Continue reading Wekk – Ep 76 – Beer, Books, & Tea – Guards! Guards!

This week it is a “get to know us” episode. Have you ever wanted to sit at a table with friends, laugh hysterically, and drink horrible beer? Well, we’ve got you covered. Who puts maple syrup in their tea? Who likes ice cream with beer? Who is playing Skyrim for the first time? All this… Continue reading Wekk – Ep 75 – Who in the world are we?

Gross news about bugs, facts about coffee naps, a run down of the D23 highlights, and a revelation about which of us would snort chocolate (and MORE) in our first section. In the second segment (starts at 30:00) Kellie and Katy delve into the wonderful, wacky world of WKRP in Cincinnati. In our fan requested… Continue reading Wekk – Ep 74 – Growing Up 70’s – WKRP in Cincinnati

In our first segment we chat about Olive Oil Regulations, Critical Role Podcast (yay!), What Remains of Edith Finch, English Heritage You Tube Channel, and the Netflix series, Anne with an E. Kellie also has a fantastic funny news story and we shout out our latest review. Spoilers for the Edith Finch game start at… Continue reading Wekk – Ep 73 – Beer, Books & Tea – Pyramids

Have you ever wondered about ranch dressing, english muffins, and jelly beans? We had and we wanted to share what we found out about the history of those foods. It’s some fun stuff, y’all. From cowboy lore, to massive global corporations operating in secret, to ancient foods converted into tiny beans we’ve got you covered.… Continue reading Wekk – Ep 72 – History of Food, Yo!

This week Wekk went a little crazy. We talk about dieting and ‘carb flu.’ A podcast called Pod Save America is recommended as well as Sense 8 on Netflix. Jill Lepore’s article in the New Yorker on her mother and Jane Franklin (Ben Franklin’s little sister) leads to an intense discussion about how women didn’t… Continue reading Wekk – Ep 71 – Kellie’s Corner – Wonder Woman and American Gods

This week we start off with a discussion about Imposter Syndrome. Credit to Neil Gaiman who recently blogged about it and prompted the discussion. Katy, Kellie, and Mandy realized they all suffer from it to varying degrees. Then we talk about Monstrous Child by Francesca Simon, Divinity Original Sin II Game Master Mode (so great),… Continue reading Wekk – Ep 70 – Growing up 70’s CHiPs

Besides learning more about Kellie than we intended (adding Kellie’s neurosis to the regular segments) Mandy, Katy, and Kellie share the books they want to be reading, the shows they think you should be watching, and discuss some stupid news. Then at the halfway point (34.22 to be exact) they switch to Wyrd Sisters by… Continue reading Wekk – Ep 69 – Beer, Books & Tea – Wyrd Sisters

Welcome to Wekk 2.0. In our new format you can enjoy a lively discussion of recent news, books, and television in the first half, as well as some great recommendations for podcasts or websites you should know about. Then we’ll give some shout outs to listeners and in the second half we have a special… Continue reading Wekk Podcast – Ep 68 – Growing up 70’s – Happy Days

What makes a hero? Circumstance? Bravery? Being an orangutan? Katy and Kellie chat about the fifth book in Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series – Sourcery. This one had some heavy themes – end of the world type subjects – and a very frustrating journey for a female lead (frustrating for Kellie and Katy…I’m sure Conina was… Continue reading Beer, Books & Tea – Sourcery

Katy and Kellie cover The Brady Bunch in this week’s episode. Katy has wonderful memories of watching the show as a kid…Kellie – not so much. Also, Katy drank waaaaaay too much and insults pretty much everyone. She apologizes. And then finally, there is a mini-blip of audio difficulty at the very end, but the… Continue reading Growing up 70’s – The Brady Bunch
