    The Big Boo Cast, Episode 426
    Jan 23 2025
    Our dear friend (and most frequent podcast guest) Travis Cottrell is with us this week, and what a treat it was for Melanie and me to get to catch up with him. We talk about college football, NFL football, what we've been watching lately, and how we feel about looking up setlists before a concert.

    We also discuss 80's music (WHO AMONG US IS SURPRISED), and it's my turn for Five Favorites.

    Hope you enjoy!

    On this week's episode Melanie and I talk about my snow days here in Birmingham, her playroom clean-out in San Antonio, and our thoughts about the upcoming national championship college football game. We also discuss a couple of epiphanies I experienced this past week (and, as a follow-up to our last episode, one of them is Wicked-related).

    As if that weren't enough, we have an exciting heating pad update / development, and it's Melanie's turn for Five Favorites.

    Enjoy, everybody!

    The Big Boo Cast, Episode 424
    Jan 9 2025
    Clearly the Lord is up to something in 2025, because on this episode Melanie shares a tip for cooking with a rotisserie chicken, and I talk about seeing a movie that I had been resisting because of its rampant popularity (so sorry, I'm weird, still haven't seen Titanic, etc.). On top of that, we recap our exciting New Year's Eves ("exciting" is a relative term, but alas).

    We also get an exciting update on the health of Melanie's scalp, and it's my turn for Five Favorites.

    Hope you enjoy!
