Lynda Carter is gorgeous. I think we’ve said enough. But if we wanted to add more I guess we should say that Wonder Woman was campy fun. Katy and Kellie learned some surprising things about this show, such as the fact that the first season was set in the 40’s, but the last two were… Continue reading Growing Up 70’s – Ep 5 – Wonder Woman

Remember that show with cute paramedics and overly serious doctors? Emergency! first aired in 1972 and continued until 1979. Katy and Kellie chat about how much of it they didn’t remember. Katy’s memory pretty much stopped at how cute John Gage was. Kellie, of course, remembered more. (This was also an episode where one half… Continue reading Growing Up 70’s – Ep 4 – Emergency!

We all like to read, but we all gravitate toward different things, so starting with this reads we each brought something to share. Kellie shared her love for all things Harley Quinn, Kevin discussed The Killing Joke, Katy went into way too much detail about The Star Maker (and Freeman Dyson, Dyson Sphere, Kepler Mission…way… Continue reading Wekk Reads – Ep 53 – Harley Quinn, Killing Joke, Star Maker, Civil Eats

This is a four-minute announcement as we are taking a short break before beginning Series Two.

Kellie and Kevin wrap up Series One with the rousing excitement of “The Parting of the Ways,” where there are Daleks, and battles, and deaths… OH MY!

Kellie and Kevin review the penultimate episode of Series One, “Bad Wolf,” which is Part One of a two-part finale that they liked very much. The episode features British TV shows you may have heard of, Kevin gets a bit OCD on the details, as always, and the tension is cranked up as they head… Continue reading Wekk Whovians – Ep 12 – Bad Wolf – S1E12

Kellie and Kevin review “Boom Town,” where they revisit a villain from the recent past, they discuss Kellie’s knowledge (and Kevin’s lack of knowledge) of Cardiff and the show’s infamous “Cardiff Rift,” and finally, Kevin proves that he wouldn’t know an eggplant if it smacked him in the face. There are laughs galore on a… Continue reading Wekk Whovians – Ep 11 – Boom Town – S1E11

Spoiler – we love The Carol Burnett Show. There are some shows that are good no matter what decade you watch them. Katy and Kellie dish about all the reasons they love what Carol Burnett, Tim Conway, Harvey Korman, and Vicky Lawrence do, as well as discuss Carol Burnett’s book, This Time Together. We also continue to… Continue reading Growing up 70’s – Ep 3 – The Carol Burnett Show

For our second travel themed episode we talk all about a city we love. Ours is mostly from a tourist perspective, since none of us live there, but we peppered the conversation with a fun trivia contest – and *spoiler we never figured out the winner…they probably all tied. Some links in case you were… Continue reading Wekk Travel – Ep 52 – NEW YORK!!!

Remember The Hardy Boys? Didn’t we all have crushes on Parker Stevenson and Shaun Cassidy? Or was that just Kellie and Katy? I’m pretty sure we weren’t alone. In this episode we find out that it might have been better to leave this one way back in our youthful memories, however, we did learn that… Continue reading Growing Up 70’s – Ep 2 – The Hardy Boys

Are you already singing The Love Boat theme? We know you are. We did, too. Every day, for a week before we recorded this. In our first episode of Growing up 70’s Kellie and Katy have things to say about The Love Boat. They have opinions on the clothes, the cast, and the stories. They also invited their moms to… Continue reading Growing Up 70’s – Ep 1 – The Love Boat

Welcome to our second challenge – five servings of fruits and vegetables each and every day. For some of us it was easy and for others nigh impossible, but everyone learned something. We were once again joined by Kenny Rotter from Dumbbells and Dragons and Joe Hogan from Geektitude. The Wekk team also got together the next week… Continue reading Wekktrition – Ep 51 – Challenge #2 Fruits and Veggies

Kellie and Kevin review Part One of the epic two-parter that introduces us to the charming and mysterious Captain Jack Harkness, and possibly the scariest storyline of the Eccleston era.

It’s our 50th episode! Woot! To celebrate we invited our friends Joe Hogan of the Geektitude podcast and Kenny Rotter of Dumbbells and Dragons to chat with us about dragons. DRAGONS! We discuss our favorite movies, books, and websites. We talk about whether dragons who talk are better than dragons who don’t. We even sing some Peter,… Continue reading Wekk Chatter – Ep 50! – Dragons!

Once again we dive into podcasts and pick our favorites to share with you. Mandy chose a listener recommendation – Dear Sugar Radio and we talked about all the great advice Cheryl Strayed and Steve Almond give to their listeners. Kellie had us listen to Scott Sigler‘s audio recordings of his books and his Friday Fix podcasts. Kevin introduced… Continue reading Wekk Listens – Ep 49

Katy, Kellie, Kevin, and Mandy attempt to answer the tough travel questions – where do we want to go and where would we go if we could only travel one more time? Have you ever wondered why there’s an ATM in Antartica (which sounds like a great title for a novel…you’re welcome) then you must… Continue reading Wekk Travel – Ep 48 – Where would we go?

Kellie and Kevin delve into the magical world of 1987… chock full of big hair, Miami Vice suits, and Rose Tyler’s mistakes. This episode should actually be renamed “It’s Rose’s Fault,” as she nearly destroys the Earth. Listen to find out if Rose redeems herself and how we feel about cell phone technology in the… Continue reading Wekk Whovians – Ep 08 – Father’s Day – S01E08

For our first nutrition-focused podcast we challenged ourselves to reduce our intake of sodium. Katy, Kellie, and Kevin all tried in their own way to cut back. Some days we were more successful than others. Some meals were excellent (and others not so much). And some of us had garlic fries and a club sandwich… Continue reading Wekk (trition) – Ep 47 – Challenge #1 Sodium

In this discussion, Kellie and Kevin dissect “The Long Game,” with special guest star (who wasn’t widely known in America yet,) Simon Pegg, who plays a powerful man with a powerful secret. Does Rose finally impress  The Doctor? What’s that thing stuck to the ceiling? Is Adam just a curious, or is he an opportunist?… Continue reading Wekk Whovians – Ep 07 – The Long Game S01E07
