Manage episode 505801131 series 3660959
Ever wonder what happens when podcast hosts dish about their favorite guests? Alexis and Robin take you behind the scenes of their nearly 20-episode journey, revealing the moments that made them laugh, learn, and occasionally gasp in surprise.
From Amber's hunting adventures in Texas (where everything's done at long range and requires "a really big gun") to Mel's horror media enthusiasm that kicks off the conversation about spooky season, the hosts reminisce about the diverse voices that have shaped their podcast. They celebrate Amore's nail artistry that inspired Alexis's two-toned manicure, John Rosenthal's insights into Texas redistricting, and Amanda Edwards' campaign for the historically significant District 18 seat.
The conversation flows through Houston's flourishing poetry scene with Kathy Crawford, where "what skill you have will be celebrated," to Jovan Taylor's political aspirations while maintaining his day job. Listeners get intimate glimpses of memorable moments like when Falcon and Sushi reunited on air to discuss LGBT bar history in Houston, including the mysterious disappeared disco ball that once hung at the Montrose and Westheimer intersection.
The hosts highlight Dr. Maria Gonzalez's efforts to maintain inclusivity in education, Jennifer Marie's boundary-setting "honey badger" style, Sharon Franti's documentary filmmaking journey, and Francine's work with Nova Ukraine. They touch on conversations about artificial intelligence with Jacob, trauma healing through poetry, and Frost Murphy's diverse fitness approaches from home saunas to jiu-jitsu.
This retrospective episode captures the essence of meaningful conversations that extend beyond headlines and social media snippets. Want to suggest a topic or be a guest? Reach out through the website or email – Alexis and Robin are eager to continue building their podcast community with your help.
