We’ve breezed right past our first month! How did that happen? Our guests Angela Shelton and Frances Callier, affectionately known as Frangela, had my co-host Dennis Hensley and I laughing so hard we could barely breathe as they took us through the process of their hit podcast, Idiot of the Week. While the conversation is NSFW or appropriate around children, it was very educational about where NOT to try and poison your spouse!

On Tuesday’s show, we welcomed the lovely and funny Jennifer Elise Cox, most famously known as Jan Brady from the Brady Bunch movies and currently starring on Web Therapy with Lisa Kudrow. Once again, the laughter was deafening as co-hosts Jeff Schroeder and Jordan Lloyd shared their favorite videos on YouTube, including Kanye West’s rants and Stone Cold E.T.’s drive-thru insanity! You also won’t want to miss our hilarious Top Ten Songs Of All Time lists, featuring vocals by Jordan Lloyd!

On Wednesday we welcomed the breakout star from Bravo’s Make Me A Supermodel and actor-turned-activist, Ronnie Kroell who was in discussing FriendMovement.com, a film and campaign he is producing with Elliott London that addresses the bullying epidemic that is taking place in our schools. With my co-host Cindy Hooker, we shared our own experiences with being bullied and reiterated to our young listeners, it does indeed, get better.

On Thursday, we debuted a brand new voice from Australia. Songbird Ange Takats called in from Down Under to discuss her new album Arva and her travel memoir The Buffalo Funeral – Soundbites from a Songbird in Siam, where she shares her adventures as a young white woman living alone in Asia – from being confronted with heroin addicts in Hanoi – to having her breasts massaged with Tiger Balm while filming a story about Thai boob jobs. I will wait while you run and purchase the album on iTunes!

Also not to miss in this episode, was the following clip from Ash Beckham at Ignite Boulder. Not only is this an exceptional speech, it sparked a valuable conversation between co-host Jeff Schroeder and myself.

And that concludes another week! See you next week when we welcome Kourtney and Lianna from UBN’s Libations and Relations, Luciano Costa from SoCalSocialClub, author and bloggess extraordinaire Jenny Lawson, Dirty Pop with Lance Bass’s Drew Pokorny, advocate Ash Beckham and Hart of Dixie’s Carla Renata!
