Cheryl and Danielle are taking the rest of the summer off! We know your schedules are super wonky with all that's happening during these months, and Cheryl's gonna need a support group once her daughter goes off to college in a few weeks.
We will be back mid-September with all-new guests and episodes, and a new timing format. In the meantime, catch up on any episodes you may have missed, and let us know what you'd li...
In Episode 27, Danielle and Cheryl are joined again by guest Katelin Cashman, a PA who specializes in women’s midlife health, to talk about exercise in midlife. As estrogen packs up its bags and leaves, our bones change and become weaker, muscles get smaller, connective tissue weakens (hello, balance), we start to feel the wear and tear of osteoarthritis, and unexplained joint aches and muscle pains bounce around (they might evade ...
In Episode 26, Danielle and Cheryl talk about the importance of planning the party you *won’t* be around to see. Of course no one wants to think about their demise, but there are a lot of things you should be making decisions about now, so that your crazy Aunt Patty isn’t making decisions about whether to bury you in the local cemetery or scatter your ashes off the back of a cruise ship in Bermuda. They discuss last wishes, plannin...
Danielle and Cheryl have been talking for 25 episodes. To celebrate, they decided you should hear someone else talk for a change – so they invited Menopause Specialist Katelin Cashman, PA, back to talk about bone health in middle age women. While 50% to 85% of variation in bone mineral density is due to genetics (thanks mom), you can also make changes in your diet, lifestyle, weight training, and supplements to optimize your skelet...
With Danielle’s birthday coming up, Episode 24 is full of chatter about gifts and regifting. There are studies that show that regifting is actually completely OK with the gift giver, but the gift receivers need to chill out and stop feeling so guilty (there’s even National Regifting Day on December 27 this year). They also laugh about themed gifts – calling to mind Cheryl’s momentary mention of liking owls that caused an avalanche ...
It's summertime, so Cheryl and Danielle are taking a well-deserved day off for the July 4th holiday!
We want to hear from you!

In Episode 23, Danielle and Cheryl are joined once again by Boston-based photographer Melissa Ostrow and they’re talking about photos – and how everyone looks the same in them these days. Going far beyond following trends, the trio has decided that platforms like TikTok and Instagram (influencers, they’re looking straight at you) are taking creativity away and pushing one similar look that lacks individuality. Cheryl, leaning on he...
In Episode 22, Danielle and Cheryl have an amazing guest who wants to help you put your best face forward – literally. Melissa Ostrow is a well-known photographer in the Boston area who has been making people look amazing in front of the camera for two decades in her professional career of portraits, party pics, corporate events, and more. She takes the hosts through a litany of tips on how to make sure you get your good side with ...
Episode 21 begins with Cheryl’s admission that she’s weak – she colored her hair after six months of grey root grow out. Then she and Danielle discuss how we’re becoming new people in a sense as we age and it’s hard - saying goodbye to who we were, and embracing (although sometimes not too eagerly) who we are now. For example, they remember when going out was just a fun thing to do, even…gasp…last minute. Now we have to check the r...
Was Avril Lavigne right - is life just too complicated? In Episode 20, Danielle and Cheryl realize that in their 30s, they were just training to be an adult. Now, it’s go time. At this age, we have mortgages, kids, aging parents, career changes, ever-changing bodies, and the constant challenge of making everyone happy. A wise friend once explained that it’s because we’re trying to make everyone happy no one ends up being happy, whi...
Spring cleaning has Cheryl and Danielle harkening back to the days of Atari, Mousetrap, even…gasp…rabbit foot keychains, as they get sentimental during Episode 19 of Everything Hurts. Cleaning out the garage or basement can dig up a bunch of emotions, especially when it involves sifting through boxes of childhood items. What gets kept and what gets trashed? The two revisit toys from the ‘80s that stood the test of time, as well as ...
In the U.S., nearly all adults (clocking in at about 98%) own a cell phone. That’s roughly 331 million people. The vast majority, about 91%, of those cell phone owners have a smartphone. In Episode 18, Danielle and Cheryl explore their love/hate with their phones. Yes, they’re obviously helpful but do we really need to be able to text, track, talk, and Google at any given second. Newsflash: we lived without them for centuries. They...
In this Episode 17, Cheryl and Danielle discuss how their tolerance and patience have changed as they age, and one place the difference is very evident is at gym. Is no place sacred? When they aren’t yelling at people to shut up in the sauna, they’re giving the side eye to those who don’t wipe down their machines after use. However, the meat of this episode is actually spent discussing how to stay cool at the gym – in a cold plunge...
Between Dr. Google, the internet as a whole, and tracking apps like Life360, we have access to too much info. Full stop. To begin Episode 16, Danielle drops one bit of info that we all should know – she recently took a job as the co-host of a new morning show on WZLX FM radio in Boston. Then she and Cheryl chat about how, overall, it’s exhausting how we have fingertip-access to so…much…information these days. Basically, they ask - ...
In Episode 15, Cheryl and Danielle raise a glass to how our middle-aged bodies handle alcohol. Spoiler alert – not well (Episode 1 started the conversation of When Happy Hour Turns Sad). Chiming in with plenty of knowledge is their guest, Katelin Cashman, PA-C, Menopause Society Certified Practitioner, certified functional nutrition informed professional, and founder of Plaistow, N.H.-based Journey Health. The three ladies talk abo...
In Episode 14, Danielle and Cheryl once again bring Kennedy Elsey, from Mix 104.1’s Karson & Kennedy AM show to share her diagnosis and subsequent ass kicking of breast cancer. They talk about how she worked with her caregivers through surgery and radiation, as well as a surprising (and documented) sadness you feel when you leave your fellow warriors she saw every day in the hospital. The trio also talks about osteoporosis and ...
Music is an integral part of most of our lives, as you can tell by the fact that you don’t care who sees you dancing when the grocery store jams hit hard. To hit all the right notes on this topic, Danielle and Cheryl sit down with guest Kennedy Elsey (of Boston's Mix 104.1 Karson & Kennedy morning show fame). When the three women were younger, reading liner notes to new records was an hours-long activity, as was waiting pa...
Cheryl and Danielle begin Episode 12 by discussing what some people choose to share on social media. Coming from a time where kids were trucks without governors and there wasn’t a threat of actions being blasted into the ether, it’s amazing what people will post these days. Parents will post kids throwing up; teens will post themselves doing stupid stuff. Is nothing sacred? Which brings the two ladies to life’s biggest lesson – by ...
In Episode 11, Danielle and Cheryl dive into the days of old school movies (Bueller…Bueller) and TV, as they reminisce about the ones they loved in their childhood (think Love Boat, Fantasy Island, Silver Spoons, Mash, Different Strokes, Cheers). And of course, there are shows they loved that wouldn’t exactly play today (looking squarely at you, Archie Bunker). But who doesn’t love a VHS tape (be kind, rewind)? After all, that’s ho...
In this episode of Everything Hurts, Danielle and Cheryl break down what friendships are and how they seem to change as we age. When we’re younger, our friends are our entire world. Then we move to college and things become a bit more spaced, but you’re still thrown together into classes, dorms, etc. In our 20s, people scatter and friendships ebb and flow. Once you get into your 30s, that’s when you start to take a look at your fri...

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
