Starting today, because this isour summer series, we're
(03:17):
highlighting entertainingpodcasts that are perfect for
family road trips.
If you've ever taken a roadtrip as an adult trying to keep
your kids from killing eachother in the back seat, or your
antics were so legendary as akid that they're now part of
your family lore, you know whatI mean.
Mom, he's touching my kneeagain.
(03:38):
Dad, she won't stop smackingher lips.
Oh my god, he just farted.
Roll down the windows, hurry.
And then there's theoft-repeated question Are we
there yet?
Are?
we there yet Are we there yet?
And throughout it all, you'rejust trying not to get in an
accident, oh, and enjoy thescenery.
(03:59):
Of course, there's always thelicense plate game that keeps
them entertained for maybe 10minutes if you're lucky.
But I have a better idea, andit's one that's guaranteed to
work for at least 50 miles, andI know that you already know
what I'm talking about Engaging,entertaining podcasts for the
(04:19):
entire family that kids as youngas six and as old as 16 will
love to listen to.
My first highlight is for apodcast called Tomorrow.
If you're a fan of the Anniestage play or even the Little
Orphan Annie comic strip, youand your family will love the
(04:41):
Tomorrow cast by GZM, aka Gen ZMedia.
Annie Warbucks is played bysinger, songwriter and dancer
Abby Grace Levi and AgathaHannigan.
The villain in Annie is broughtto life by Tony Award winner
Laura Benati.
Tomorrow is an originalscripted podcast series that
(05:04):
stays true to the TonyAward-winning stage play, but it
also seamlessly modernizes thestory into a contemporary tale
set in post-pandemic New YorkCity and five years after Annie
was adopted by billionaireOliver.
Daddy Warbucks Andy, by the way, in this particular
(05:25):
presentation is 15 years old.
Daddy Warbucks is played by thelate actor and musician, lance
Reddick, who had prominent rolesin the Wire, bosch, white House
Down and, of course, john Wick.
He died in March of 2023 at age60 and left a huge hole in the
(05:48):
hearts of all fans, including me.
Before going on, I just want tosay that I deeply admired Lance
Reddick's contributions to filmand TV and still mourn his
passing.
Tomorrow has 50 episodes andall of them are 18 minutes or
less, so they have short, sweetand fun episodes that engage
(06:10):
kids of all ages, particularlyyoung ones, because, you know,
sometimes they get a littlerestless.
I'm going to play a very shortclip for you.
It is from the trailer and willgive you a pretty good idea of
the spirit of the show.
Annie Tomorrow Preview (06:28):
The sun will come out tomorrow.
Bet your bottom dollar thattomorrow they'll be through.
Good morning, prisoner 845384.
Please state your name for therecord, my name is Agatha
(06:50):
Hannigan, and I appreciate theopportunity to tell my side of
the story.
Annie Warbucks and AgathaHannigan, two names forever
connected by events that madeone of them the richest girl in
the world and sent the other toprison tell me what you did, dad
.
I'm not some little kid that youneed to protect everything is
(07:11):
at risk, and harrigan is exactlythe kind of problem we don't
need.
Gen z media presents tomorrow anoriginal scripted audio
adventure inspired by Annie, themusical beloved by generations.
I spent my whole life lookingfor you, Mom and Dad hoping that
maybe what is it Sandy?
(07:31):
Hello, who's there?
Tomorrow brings the magic ofAnnie to the world of podcasts,
with great music and a brand newimmersive story full of humor,
heart, hope and mystery,starring Tony Award winner Laura
Benanti as Agatha Hannigan,alan Ruck as Drake, abby Grace
(07:55):
Levi as Annie and Lance Reddickas Oliver Warbucks.
What it's a broken rocketExactly like mine.
Jeryl Spear (08:14):
Tomorrow is so finely crafted and so richly
produced, I hope that everyonein your family has the
opportunity to listen totomorrow.
The next show I'll behighlighting is another
roadworthy podcast that's filledwith far-fetched fun and please
take me literally on that thatwill keep your kids entertained
(08:37):
while you do what you set out todo in the first place.
Take a road trip where goingthere is more than half the fun.
The show is called DiscoveringDad by Gen Z Media.
It stars Broadway andtelevision actors Adam Godley,
christopher Sieber, alexaNissinson and Banks Pierce.
(08:58):
Jess, by the way, is an angsty,angry high schooler and Corey
is a nerdy middle schooler whoappears to be pretty clueless in
most things that aren't bookrelated.
And Dad Dan is a fastidiousmiddle school science teacher
who is obsessed and I meanobsessed with keeping his family
(09:20):
safe, to the point they feelsmothered to the point they feel
smothered.
But then Dan's secret pastfinally begins to come to light
when an old nemesis shows up andkidnaps one of his kids.
Because there's something foreveryone in your family,
including you.
Discovering Dad is a great rompwith an engaging storyline that
(09:41):
will appeal to kids of all ages,I promise, and their parents.
There are daring new exploitsthat show dad's real skills,
rival those of Indiana Jones.
They go treasure hunting andthey defeat the bad guys.
The episodes are short,action-packed and always end in
a cliffhanger.
It's like a Saturday cereal andthe cliffhanger I just
(10:04):
mentioned.
Well, sometimes that's aliteral cliffhanger.
So there you have it Severalhours of listening and hopefully
hundreds of miles of peace andharmony.
Discovering Dad (10:19):
Not exactly the adventurous type.
You know what they sayUncluttered kitchen, uncluttered
mind.
Who says that?
I do.
And you know what else I sayit's a new day.
Full of possibilities.
Ha Time to vacuum.
At least that's what theythought, until his past caught
up with them.
Leave now and no one gets hurt.
(10:41):
Knife twirling what?
Are you some kind of ninja?
No, he's a middle schoolscience teacher, turns out, the
mild-mannered Dan used to besomeone else entirely.
Get out of my house.
Who are you?
(11:05):
You get to the minivan, drivewhere You're not driving
anywhere, let go of me.
You overgrown shrimp, wannabe,or what or?
Or my dad will totally knock youout with a frying pan.
Come on, I don't know how longyou'll be out.
What are you about to say now,good man?
(11:26):
Come on, jess, buckle up, wait.
Wait, just tell me where youlearned how to do that knife
stuff.
It's called tanto jutsu.
I trained in Japan as in thecountry.
Yeah, it's, it's.
I'm not driving until youbuckle your seatbelt.
(11:49):
I'm not buckling my seatbeltuntil you explain.
They're on the hood of the car.
Yeah, yeah, I can see that.
Just hold on, jess.
You're going backwards and youyielded me for driving too fast.
Well, these are obviouslyextenuating circumstances.
Watch out, minilocks.
(12:09):
Squirrel, mr Combs.
Honey, calm down, I just needto.
Watch out, watch out there.
Better A 180 in a minivan Areyou kidding me, that was fire.
(12:30):
I'm going to be covering Gen Zmedia in the near future, but if
you want to get a jump on itnow, you can go up to
gzmshowscom.
We do have some new shows thatI want to alert you about.
I'm going to cover them in morein-depth next week, but just be
aware that there is a greataudio thriller, slash science
(12:52):
fiction, slash mystery calledOak Bridge.
And would you believe this?
Marvel now has its own podcast.
It's called the Official MarvelPodcast and there is some
inside information that isshared there that you'll want to
know about if you're a Marvelfan and at this point you know
(13:13):
there are very few people thataren't right Enjoy it.
We'll talk more about it nextweek.
Jerald, oh no, not you.
(13:42):
Again.
What are listening to?
Are you spying on me?
Oh, ais, you can't trust them.
But yes, welcome to.
What Are you Listening To?
A segment where I share whatI've binged this week, and it's
a good one.
This week I am in the process ofbinging on the Dating
(14:04):
Detectives.
It is a light-heartedinvestigation show hosted by
private investigator MackenzieFultz, f-u-l-t-z and comedian
Hannah Anderson.
Each week, the ladies exposeliars, cheaters and con artists
who've left a trail of brokenhearts, shattered egos and empty
(14:25):
wallets behind.
They also shine a light on thered flags to look out for when
you're dipping your toe into theuntamed and often dishonest
world of dating apps.
The episodes are dividedbetween guests telling their
stories and Mackenzie Undercoverepisodes where she retells some
(14:46):
of her most outrageous cases.
Because most of the episodesare standalone stories now you
can pretty much cherry pick yourway through the shows, which is
what I'm doing right now.
At the moment, I am listening toa McKenzie Undercover episode
called Nail Salon Secrets.
Of course, I come from thebeauty industry so I wanted to
(15:07):
listen to that where she tailsher surveillance subject into a
nail salon and sits right nextto her while the woman receives
a pedicure.
Having perfected the art ofsmall talk, mckenzie soon gets
her subject to open up aboutwhat she's really been up to for
the past few months.
Uh-oh, the one thing thatalmost made me pass on this show
(15:30):
I'm going to be honest is theamount of small talk that goes
on before Mackenzie and Hannahget into the featured subject or
story.
Before I explain a bit moreabout that and my personal
irritation, I want to say thatnot everyone would find this
off-putting If you love toengage in small talk and there's
(15:50):
a big benefit to being inclinedthat way their banter will
likely give you a more personalconnection to them and their
stories.
As for me, once small talk goesbeyond just a few sentences, I
break out in hives.
Now this is just as an aside.
My boyfriend can carry on smalltalk with anybody at any time
(16:16):
and I can't go to a local marketwith him that he doesn't run
into somebody he knows casually.
And you know, it's weirdbecause I find myself feeling
trapped right away and I startfeeling my blood pressure drop
and then I swear I feel like I'mgetting ready to go catatonic.
So I have to bolt and go tosome other part of the store.
And it's not like I haven'ttried.
(16:38):
I have actually even studiedarticles that say things like
what to talk about when there'sno topic.
What are the most interestingtopics?
What is not considered smalltalk?
What to talk about instead ofgossip?
I almost broke out in hivesreading about how to do it.
I tested several episodesbecause I wanted to see how much
(17:00):
of a problem this would be forme, and I found that some shows
are much chattier than others.
For the long-winded ones, Idecided to fast forward through
the BS at least halfway throughtheir conversation so that I
could listen to some greatstories without having to reach
for a Benadryl.
I recommend that you check outDating Detectives and let me
(17:22):
know what you think.
If you want to listen with me,my next episode will be In the
Nude, and this is one whereMackenzie goes undercover at a
nudist community.
I'm really curious how she'sgoing to pull this off without a
recorder, a camera or even apen to hang on to, and even
(17:43):
though she'll probably becarrying a phone wherever she
goes pretty obvious when you'rerecording.
So I'm not really sure howshe's going to pull it off, but
if you know me, you know I'mgoing to find out.
I'm going to be playing a clipfor you and it is about a
gentleman that came to McKenzie.
He told her he believed hiswife was cheating and he wanted
(18:05):
her to tail her and find outwhat she was up to, particularly
Friday through Monday, becausethose are the days every week
that he was away on business andthings just seemed hinky while
he was gone.
The story is going to pick upwhere she starts tailing her.
Here we go.
Dating Detectives (18:23):
So it's Friday afternoon, right, the
first day I'm doing surveillanceon her and she goes to a nail
salon, right, and I'm thinking,oh good, nail salon.
And by the way, to theprofessor who said you're a girl
, you'll never make it as a PI,whatever.
This is the exact reason why weneed girl PIs is because a dude
can't go into and I mean dudescan go in a nail salon they can,
but you're gonna notice them.
My husband goes and getspedicures, but it's always like
(18:44):
20 other women and like myhusband and like people look at
him.
So you would notice, especiallyif he was like checking out,
like focused on another girlthat's creepy.
Thank you, exactly.
So she goes into a nail salonand typically I, on a case like
this, I'm not going to followsomeone into a nail salon
because I don't need to know.
Like you know, she's going to anail salon there's it's not a
(19:04):
nightclub, like the husband said.
So, specific to the case thisit wouldn't make sense for me to
go into the nail salon unlessit's like a, a, like a workers
comp case or something where,like I need to see what their
injuries are or whatever.
But because a nail salon islike kind of a gossip hub a
little bit.
Yes, I was just thinking that.
So of course I'm like, yeah,like I want to go in and hear,
(19:27):
like what's what's going on.
So I go in because I can fit inand I want to hear, like what's
going on and I cannot recordaudio, but that doesn't mean I
can't still obtain information,right?
So I'm, nail salons are wherepeople spill the beans, like
it's just like your hair, yourhairstylist, like you spill all
(19:48):
the goss to her, right?
So I'm in this nail salon, she'sin a pedicure chair by the time
I go inside and you know how,like when you go into a nail
salon, they tell you oh, go tothis chair, go to that chair.
I didn't, I just sat down, Isat right next to her because I
was like, oh hey, I'm just goingto sit down right here.
So I did.
So I sit down in the chair andI am just like ready to get some
(20:13):
information.
And the nail tech ladies werelike, okay, you're doing this.
You were just kind of sittingdown.
What are they going to do?
Make you move.
Right, exactly, and so, like thecustomer, they're going to go
to the customer, they're notgoing to lose money and risk you
leaving, and so sometimes,sometimes, you just have to,
like, own the space and if youjust have to assume the position
and not wait for someone totell you what to do, you just
(20:34):
have to do what you have to doto get the information.
So that's what I did and itworked out.
It usually does.
So I'm starting a conversationwith my pedicure lady, because
it's kind of quiet, no one'sreally talking, and so I ask her
I say oh, what are you doingthis weekend?
You know, just kind of, and youcan tell that I'm clearly just
trying to start conversation, tokind of break the ice or
whatever, but I make sure that Isay it in a way that's kind of
(20:56):
loud and my personality, anyways, is very inclusive, and so when
I'm, when I walk into a room, Inever meet a stranger.
I'll talk to anybody, right?
So I don't mind kind of talkingto her, looking over at the
girl next to me and be like, oh,you know, what are you doing
for?
the weekend or whatever.
And yeah, I'm bubbly and Iwanted to drum up conversation,
get everyone talking, and I saidI'm kind of new to the area,
(21:18):
I'm recently single and so Istarted asking about the
nightclubs when should I go tomeet people Exactly?
Where's a cool?
place to party and hang out andwhatever.
And so we're I'm talking to the, the nail tech or whatever, and
she's like, oh, I, you know, Idon't go out very much, like I
have small kids, and so she'skind of quiet about it, hush,
hush, like she doesn't have muchto say.
(21:39):
But I am, like I said, makingan effort to include all the
ladies in the salon in theconversation, kind of like steel
magnolias in the hair salon.
You know what I mean like it'sgirl talk.
Yeah, absolutely you.
Hmm, I wish there was someonearound here who goes out on the
weekends that might know Exactlywhat I can do.
That's what I wanted to do.
So finally, after kind of liketalking and you know, kind of
(22:03):
chit chat a little bit here andthere, homegirl chimes in and
she shocks me Like she.
I do a double take at her whenshe starts talking, because when
she starts talking she soundslike freaking Jessica Rabbit,
like that very sultry voice orwhatever, and I'm like holy shit
, okay, wait, can you do it?
What does she say, okay?
So she says you know, if you'relooking for a really great
(22:27):
nightclub, you should try thisone.
Like okay, thank you.
She gives me the name of anightclub that I've never heard
of.
Now, I'm from this area, but Idon't get around to this
particular area of town verymuch.
So I just chalked it up to I'vejust never heard of it.
Like I'm just not from thisparticular area.
Whatever it makes sense, Idon't think anything of it.
(22:48):
Well then she hands me abusiness card with this name of
the club on it and she's talkingto me and she goes here you go,
and she's got these long,beautiful fingernails, and she
hands me this card and like allsexily, and I'm like okay, and
I'm like are you hitting on me?
Thank you so much.
And I'm like, oh, are you abartender there?
(23:09):
Or whatever, like trying to askher questions, like get her
talking about this club.
So I'm like, are you abartender there?
And she goes, oh no, I bring mydates here.
And I'm like I'm sorry, what,like that was too easy.
The math wasn't mathing for asecond.
And I'm like, ok, like I'msorry, what Like what for a
(23:35):
second.
And I'm like, okay, like I'msorry, what like what.
And so then after a minute,like I had this light bulb like
eureka moment, and I'm likelooking and I was like, oh, oh,
okay, she's an escort itdefinitely has the vibe of a
girlfriend show and if that'swhat appeals to you which it
does to me I suggest you listento it.
Jeryl Spear (23:55):
Let me know what your favorite episode is and
I'll report back next week on Inthe Nude, which I talked about
earlier in the show.
And now it is time for the mainattraction, for our review
(24:23):
segment.
I am going to be talking abouttwo separate podcasts.
The first one is definitely apg rating.
It doesn't really throw up anytriggers, but I will tell you
there is one mysterious death inthis particular podcast,
although it is not graphic atall until it isn't, because
(24:53):
there is some action in it andthe calmness allows you to bond
quicker and better with thecharacters.
I believe it's now rankednumber seven as of this week,
but it has been as high asnumber one for science fiction
podcasts.
Now I have listened to theentirety of season one and thus
far nothing about sciencefiction has been mentioned or
(25:14):
even alluded to in the series.
Now that could change withseason two, which isn't out yet,
but I don't know.
It's not science fiction to me,not yet anyway.
The second season is scheduledto drop in mid-August.
Trap Street is a new mysteryfrom the creators of Strange Air
, and it has to do with anunemployed gamer named Josh, who
(25:38):
has received a mysterious emailwith two attachments that
magically open up.
The first image is that of awoman with red hair and green
eyes, and the second is an oldmap of a town called Ocean Bay,
which is several hours away fromwhere Josh lives.
Josh is a very sweet, a verynice guy.
(26:02):
He lacks drive, he'sunmotivated, he is content to
float through life.
He's not sure why he's beingsent to Ocean Bay, he doesn't
ask enough questions, but oncehe arrives in Ocean Bay, events
unfold that force Josh to makedecisions, be more assertive,
and by the time the first seasonends, I will happily report
(26:24):
that I no longer wanted to kickhim in the behind to get him
going.
Here's a clip so you canunderstand the mood in the
middle of San Francisco.
Trap Street (26:55):
I know, it's just a weird thing.
Well, at least you look likeyour pictures.
Thanks, so do you.
Are you?
ready to order?
Yes, I'll have a whiskey sourWith bourbon or rye Bourbon and
you Prohibition ale, pleaseGreat, I'll be right back.
(27:15):
So have you been on many ofthese dates?
No, not really, just a few.
I've been on 19.
Is that a lot Sure?
Feels like it.
Well, I promise to make the nexthour as entertaining as I
possibly can.
Hmm, you're sweet, so whatbrings you here?
Did you break up with someone?
(27:36):
Can I be honest?
That would definitely make thisdate stand out from all the
others.
My best friend's wife gave me asix-month subscription as a
gift.
Well, I'm guessing that meansyou're the third wheel in their
marriage.
That's funny.
I never thought of it that way.
I got this really strange emaillast night.
(27:58):
I need to see what's going onwith this mystery file.
Hey, it's a map of a towncalled Ocean Bay.
Someone sent these images toyou for a reason.
I'm so lost right now.
When was the last time you chosea direction and followed it?
I'm going to Ocean Bay.
(28:19):
We don't get many tourists thistime of year.
Ocean Bay is a friendly town,but we're not that friendly.
I never sent you an email.
I don't even know you.
And why exactly are you here?
The map is the reason we're here.
Maps help when you're lost.
Do you know what a trap streetis?
(28:40):
Trap streets aren't real.
They don't exist.
Don't trust anyone unless theygive you a reason to trust them.
I think he's dead.
How could so much damage happento a human body in such a short
period of time?
What the hell is going on here.
Jeryl Spear (28:57):
Just as an aside.
I actually knew about thispodcast months and months ago.
I never was curious about itbecause you know they're trap
houses, right, they're drughouses.
So I figured Trap Street thatwould have to be a whole block
full of trap houses and I wasn'tinterested in that.
(29:18):
And I'm so glad that I gave ita third and even a fourth look
until I finally gave in andlistened to the show.
(29:51):
My last review for this episodeis a podcast called the Metal
Detective, and it's definitelynot family-friendly.
I personally was fascinated byit, but I was glad that I wasn't
alone, that I didn't listen toit just before I went to bed,
and I definitely didn't listento it while on a long drive in
the dark.
Although there's all manner ofviolence and murder in this
podcast, for me it was still oneheck of a ride.
(30:13):
Of course, my warnings are forpeople like me who don't watch
zombie movies, at least not thenewer ones people getting their
heads smashed and all manner ofblood and gore.
So you'll have to gauge yourown tolerance accordingly.
The Metal Detective fromVelocity Studios is part of
their Greatest Scripts series,which adapts Hollywood's best
(30:37):
unproduced scripts into limitedepisodic podcasts Mixed in Dolby
Atmos, which is short forAtmosphere, and mastered in IAX,
which stands for ImmersiveAudio Experience.
The resulting soundscape makeslisteners feel as though they're
in the best seats of an IMAXtheater.
(31:00):
As such, if you want the fulleffect of this podcast, please
wear your headphones or yourearbuds so that you will get the
complete surround sound effects.
It consists of four regularepisodes and one bonus episode,
as well as several interviewswith leading voice talent, the
(31:20):
producer and the director.
It's set in the year 2045, whenthe world is suffering the
effects of global warming.
There is tension and socialpolarization among humans and
human-like robots.
And as a historic winter slamsinto New York City, detective
(31:40):
Jacqueline, aka Jack Irons,learns her marriage is over.
She's running from her fellowmen in blue and is forced to
seek shelter at the opulentBradbury Hotel after it becomes
impossible for her to hightailit out of town before her
family-in-arms catches up withher.
(32:03):
But instead of spending a nightsurrounded by luxury, jack is
thrust into a real-lifenightmare when an unknown killer
begins systematically knockingoff the hotel's society guests
Because of the white-outconditions.
The only person who couldpossibly stop the killing was
Jack, our reluctant yet fearlesshero With no one to trust,
(32:27):
human or robot.
Jack aims to catch the killerbefore the sun rises and before
her own past catches up with her.
You see, jack not only gottossed out of her home, she is
also wanted by the policedepartment that she actually
belongs to.
And with each murder, detectiveIrons becomes more frantic in
(32:48):
her investigation, knowing thatuntil she finds out who in the
hotel is doing the killing, morepeople are going to die.
And that, my dear listeners, isthe bare bones plot to seek
shelter from the storm.

Starting today, because this isour summer series, we're
(03:17):
highlighting entertainingpodcasts that are perfect for
family road trips.
If you've ever taken a roadtrip as an adult trying to keep
your kids from killing eachother in the back seat, or your
antics were so legendary as akid that they're now part of
your family lore, you know whatI mean.
Mom, he's touching my kneeagain.
(03:38):
Dad, she won't stop smackingher lips.
Oh my god, he just farted.
Roll down the windows, hurry.
And then there's theoft-repeated question Are we
there yet?
Are?
we there yet Are we there yet?
And throughout it all, you'rejust trying not to get in an
accident, oh, and enjoy thescenery.
(03:59):
Of course, there's always thelicense plate game that keeps
them entertained for maybe 10minutes if you're lucky.
But I have a better idea, andit's one that's guaranteed to
work for at least 50 miles, andI know that you already know
what I'm talking about Engaging,entertaining podcasts for the
(04:19):
entire family that kids as youngas six and as old as 16 will
love to listen to.
My first highlight is for apodcast called Tomorrow.
If you're a fan of the Anniestage play or even the Little
Orphan Annie comic strip, youand your family will love the
(04:41):
Tomorrow cast by GZM, aka Gen ZMedia.
Annie Warbucks is played bysinger, songwriter and dancer
Abby Grace Levi and AgathaHannigan.
The villain in Annie is broughtto life by Tony Award winner
Laura Benati.
Tomorrow is an originalscripted podcast series that
(05:04):
stays true to the TonyAward-winning stage play, but it
also seamlessly modernizes thestory into a contemporary tale
set in post-pandemic New YorkCity and five years after Annie
was adopted by billionaireOliver.
Daddy Warbucks Andy, by the way, in this particular
(05:25):
presentation is 15 years old.
Daddy Warbucks is played by thelate actor and musician, lance
Reddick, who had prominent rolesin the Wire, bosch, white House
Down and, of course, john Wick.
He died in March of 2023 at age60 and left a huge hole in the
(05:48):
hearts of all fans, including me.
Before going on, I just want tosay that I deeply admired Lance
Reddick's contributions to filmand TV and still mourn his
passing.
Tomorrow has 50 episodes andall of them are 18 minutes or
less, so they have short, sweetand fun episodes that engage
(06:10):
kids of all ages, particularlyyoung ones, because, you know,
sometimes they get a littlerestless.
I'm going to play a very shortclip for you.
It is from the trailer and willgive you a pretty good idea of
the spirit of the show.
Annie Tomorrow Preview (06:28):
The sun will come out tomorrow.
Bet your bottom dollar thattomorrow they'll be through.
Good morning, prisoner 845384.
Please state your name for therecord, my name is Agatha
(06:50):
Hannigan, and I appreciate theopportunity to tell my side of
the story.
Annie Warbucks and AgathaHannigan, two names forever
connected by events that madeone of them the richest girl in
the world and sent the other toprison tell me what you did, dad
.
I'm not some little kid that youneed to protect everything is
(07:11):
at risk, and harrigan is exactlythe kind of problem we don't
need.
Gen z media presents tomorrow anoriginal scripted audio
adventure inspired by Annie, themusical beloved by generations.
I spent my whole life lookingfor you, Mom and Dad hoping that
maybe what is it Sandy?
(07:31):
Hello, who's there?
Tomorrow brings the magic ofAnnie to the world of podcasts,
with great music and a brand newimmersive story full of humor,
heart, hope and mystery,starring Tony Award winner Laura
Benanti as Agatha Hannigan,alan Ruck as Drake, abby Grace
(07:55):
Levi as Annie and Lance Reddickas Oliver Warbucks.
What it's a broken rocketExactly like mine.
Jeryl Spear (08:14):
Tomorrow is so finely crafted and so richly
produced, I hope that everyonein your family has the
opportunity to listen totomorrow.
The next show I'll behighlighting is another
roadworthy podcast that's filledwith far-fetched fun and please
take me literally on that thatwill keep your kids entertained
(08:37):
while you do what you set out todo in the first place.
Take a road trip where goingthere is more than half the fun.
The show is called DiscoveringDad by Gen Z Media.
It stars Broadway andtelevision actors Adam Godley,
christopher Sieber, alexaNissinson and Banks Pierce.
(08:58):
Jess, by the way, is an angsty,angry high schooler and Corey
is a nerdy middle schooler whoappears to be pretty clueless in
most things that aren't bookrelated.
And Dad Dan is a fastidiousmiddle school science teacher
who is obsessed and I meanobsessed with keeping his family
(09:20):
safe, to the point they feelsmothered to the point they feel
smothered.
But then Dan's secret pastfinally begins to come to light
when an old nemesis shows up andkidnaps one of his kids.
Because there's something foreveryone in your family,
including you.
Discovering Dad is a great rompwith an engaging storyline that
(09:41):
will appeal to kids of all ages,I promise, and their parents.
There are daring new exploitsthat show dad's real skills,
rival those of Indiana Jones.
They go treasure hunting andthey defeat the bad guys.
The episodes are short,action-packed and always end in
a cliffhanger.
It's like a Saturday cereal andthe cliffhanger I just
(10:04):
mentioned.
Well, sometimes that's aliteral cliffhanger.
So there you have it Severalhours of listening and hopefully
hundreds of miles of peace andharmony.
Discovering Dad (10:19):
Not exactly the adventurous type.
You know what they sayUncluttered kitchen, uncluttered
mind.
Who says that?
I do.
And you know what else I sayit's a new day.
Full of possibilities.
Ha Time to vacuum.
At least that's what theythought, until his past caught
up with them.
Leave now and no one gets hurt.
(10:41):
Knife twirling what?
Are you some kind of ninja?
No, he's a middle schoolscience teacher, turns out, the
mild-mannered Dan used to besomeone else entirely.
Get out of my house.
Who are you?
(11:05):
You get to the minivan, drivewhere You're not driving
anywhere, let go of me.
You overgrown shrimp, wannabe,or what or?
Or my dad will totally knock youout with a frying pan.

What are you about to say now,good man?
(11:26):

gzmshowscom.
We do have some new shows thatI want to alert you about.
I'm going to cover them in morein-depth next week, but just be
aware that there is a greataudio thriller, slash science
(12:52):
fiction, slash mystery calledOak Bridge.
And would you believe this?
Marvel now has its own podcast.
It's called the Official MarvelPodcast and there is some
inside information that isshared there that you'll want to
know about if you're a Marvelfan and at this point you know
(13:13):
there are very few people thataren't right Enjoy it.
We'll talk more about it nextweek.
Jerald, oh no, not you.
(13:42):
Again.
What are listening to?
Are you spying on me?
Oh, ais, you can't trust them.
But yes, welcome to.
What Are you Listening To?
A segment where I share whatI've binged this week, and it's
a good one.
This week I am in the process ofbinging on the Dating
(14:04):
Detectives.
It is a light-heartedinvestigation show hosted by
private investigator MackenzieFultz, f-u-l-t-z and comedian
Hannah Anderson.
Each week, the ladies exposeliars, cheaters and con artists
who've left a trail of brokenhearts, shattered egos and empty
(14:25):
wallets behind.
They also shine a light on thered flags to look out for when
you're dipping your toe into theuntamed and often dishonest
world of dating apps.
The episodes are dividedbetween guests telling their
stories and Mackenzie Undercoverepisodes where she retells some
(14:46):
of her most outrageous cases.
Because most of the episodesare standalone stories now you
can pretty much cherry pick yourway through the shows, which is
what I'm doing right now.
At the moment, I am listening toa McKenzie Undercover episode
called Nail Salon Secrets.
Of course, I come from thebeauty industry so I wanted to
(15:07):
listen to that where she tailsher surveillance subject into a
nail salon and sits right nextto her while the woman receives
a pedicure.
Having perfected the art ofsmall talk, mckenzie soon gets
her subject to open up aboutwhat she's really been up to for
the past few months.
Uh-oh, the one thing thatalmost made me pass on this show
(15:30):
I'm going to be honest is theamount of small talk that goes
on before Mackenzie and Hannahget into the featured subject or
story.
Before I explain a bit moreabout that and my personal
irritation, I want to say thatnot everyone would find this
off-putting If you love toengage in small talk and there's
(15:50):
a big benefit to being inclinedthat way their banter will
likely give you a more personalconnection to them and their
stories.
As for me, once small talk goesbeyond just a few sentences, I
break out in hives.
Now this is just as an aside.
My boyfriend can carry on smalltalk with anybody at any time
(16:16):
and I can't go to a local marketwith him that he doesn't run
into somebody he knows casually.
And you know, it's weirdbecause I find myself feeling
trapped right away and I startfeeling my blood pressure drop
and then I swear I feel like I'mgetting ready to go catatonic.
So I have to bolt and go tosome other part of the store.
And it's not like I haven'ttried.
(16:38):
I have actually even studiedarticles that say things like
what to talk about when there'sno topic.
What are the most interestingtopics?
What is not considered smalltalk?
What to talk about instead ofgossip?
I almost broke out in hivesreading about how to do it.
I tested several episodesbecause I wanted to see how much
(17:00):
of a problem this would be forme, and I found that some shows
are much chattier than others.
For the long-winded ones, Idecided to fast forward through
the BS at least halfway throughtheir conversation so that I
could listen to some greatstories without having to reach
for a Benadryl.
I recommend that you check outDating Detectives and let me
(17:22):
know what you think.
If you want to listen with me,my next episode will be In the
Nude, and this is one whereMackenzie goes undercover at a
nudist community.
I'm really curious how she'sgoing to pull this off without a
recorder, a camera or even apen to hang on to, and even
(17:43):
though she'll probably becarrying a phone wherever she
goes pretty obvious when you'rerecording.
So I'm not really sure howshe's going to pull it off, but
if you know me, you know I'mgoing to find out.
I'm going to be playing a clipfor you and it is about a
gentleman that came to McKenzie.
He told her he believed hiswife was cheating and he wanted
(18:05):
her to tail her and find outwhat she was up to, particularly
Friday through Monday, becausethose are the days every week
that he was away on business andthings just seemed hinky while
he was gone.
The story is going to pick upwhere she starts tailing her.
Here we go.
Dating Detectives (18:23):
So it's Friday afternoon, right, the
first day I'm doing surveillanceon her and she goes to a nail
salon, right, and I'm thinking,oh good, nail salon.
And by the way, to theprofessor who said you're a girl
, you'll never make it as a PI,whatever.
This is the exact reason why weneed girl PIs is because a dude
can't go into and I mean dudescan go in a nail salon they can,
but you're gonna notice them.
My husband goes and getspedicures, but it's always like
(18:44):
20 other women and like myhusband and like people look at
him.
So you would notice, especiallyif he was like checking out,
like focused on another girlthat's creepy.
Thank you, exactly.
So she goes into a nail salonand typically I, on a case like
this, I'm not going to followsomeone into a nail salon
because I don't need to know.
Like you know, she's going to anail salon there's it's not a
(19:04):
nightclub, like the husband said.
So, specific to the case thisit wouldn't make sense for me to
go into the nail salon unlessit's like a, a, like a workers
comp case or something where,like I need to see what their
injuries are or whatever.
But because a nail salon islike kind of a gossip hub a
little bit.
Yes, I was just thinking that.
So of course I'm like, yeah,like I want to go in and hear,
(19:27):
like what's what's going on.
So I go in because I can fit inand I want to hear, like what's
going on and I cannot recordaudio, but that doesn't mean I
can't still obtain information,right?
So I'm, nail salons are wherepeople spill the beans, like
it's just like your hair, yourhairstylist, like you spill all
(19:48):
the goss to her, right?
So I'm in this nail salon, she'sin a pedicure chair by the time
I go inside and you know how,like when you go into a nail
salon, they tell you oh, go tothis chair, go to that chair.
I didn't, I just sat down, Isat right next to her because I
was like, oh hey, I'm just goingto sit down right here.
So I did.
So I sit down in the chair andI am just like ready to get some
(20:13):
information.
And the nail tech ladies werelike, okay, you're doing this.
You were just kind of sittingdown.
What are they going to do?
Make you move.
Right, exactly, and so, like thecustomer, they're going to go
to the customer, they're notgoing to lose money and risk you
leaving, and so sometimes,sometimes, you just have to,
like, own the space and if youjust have to assume the position
and not wait for someone totell you what to do, you just
(20:34):
have to do what you have to doto get the information.
So that's what I did and itworked out.
It usually does.
So I'm starting a conversationwith my pedicure lady, because
it's kind of quiet, no one'sreally talking, and so I ask her
I say oh, what are you doingthis weekend?
You know, just kind of, and youcan tell that I'm clearly just
trying to start conversation, tokind of break the ice or
whatever, but I make sure that Isay it in a way that's kind of
(20:56):
loud and my personality, anyways, is very inclusive, and so when
I'm, when I walk into a room, Inever meet a stranger.
I'll talk to anybody, right?
So I don't mind kind of talkingto her, looking over at the
girl next to me and be like, oh,you know, what are you doing
for?
the weekend or whatever.
And yeah, I'm bubbly and Iwanted to drum up conversation,
get everyone talking, and I saidI'm kind of new to the area,
(21:18):
I'm recently single and so Istarted asking about the
nightclubs when should I go tomeet people Exactly?
Where's a cool?
place to party and hang out andwhatever.
And so we're I'm talking to the, the nail tech or whatever, and
she's like, oh, I, you know, Idon't go out very much, like I
have small kids, and so she'skind of quiet about it, hush,
hush, like she doesn't have muchto say.
(21:39):
But I am, like I said, makingan effort to include all the
ladies in the salon in theconversation, kind of like steel
magnolias in the hair salon.
You know what I mean like it'sgirl talk.
Yeah, absolutely you.
Hmm, I wish there was someonearound here who goes out on the
weekends that might know Exactlywhat I can do.
That's what I wanted to do.
So finally, after kind of liketalking and you know, kind of
(22:03):
chit chat a little bit here andthere, homegirl chimes in and
she shocks me Like she.
I do a double take at her whenshe starts talking, because when
she starts talking she soundslike freaking Jessica Rabbit,
like that very sultry voice orwhatever, and I'm like holy shit
, okay, wait, can you do it?
What does she say, okay?
So she says you know, if you'relooking for a really great
(22:27):
nightclub, you should try thisone.
Like okay, thank you.
She gives me the name of anightclub that I've never heard
of.
Now, I'm from this area, but Idon't get around to this
particular area of town verymuch.
So I just chalked it up to I'vejust never heard of it.
Like I'm just not from thisparticular area.
Whatever it makes sense, Idon't think anything of it.
(22:48):
Well then she hands me abusiness card with this name of
the club on it and she's talkingto me and she goes here you go,
and she's got these long,beautiful fingernails, and she
hands me this card and like allsexily, and I'm like okay, and
I'm like are you hitting on me?
Thank you so much.
And I'm like, oh, are you abartender there?
(23:09):
Or whatever, like trying to askher questions, like get her
talking about this club.
So I'm like, are you abartender there?
And she goes, oh no, I bring mydates here.
And I'm like I'm sorry, what,like that was too easy.
The math wasn't mathing for asecond.
And I'm like, ok, like I'msorry, what Like what for a
(23:35):
second.
And I'm like, okay, like I'msorry, what like what.
And so then after a minute,like I had this light bulb like
eureka moment, and I'm likelooking and I was like, oh, oh,
okay, she's an escort itdefinitely has the vibe of a
girlfriend show and if that'swhat appeals to you which it
does to me I suggest you listento it.
Jeryl Spear (23:55):
Let me know what your favorite episode is and
I'll report back next week on Inthe Nude, which I talked about
earlier in the show.
And now it is time for the mainattraction, for our review
(24:23):
segment.
I am going to be talking abouttwo separate podcasts.
The first one is definitely apg rating.
It doesn't really throw up anytriggers, but I will tell you
there is one mysterious death inthis particular podcast,
although it is not graphic atall until it isn't, because
(24:53):
there is some action in it andthe calmness allows you to bond
quicker and better with thecharacters.
I believe it's now rankednumber seven as of this week,
but it has been as high asnumber one for science fiction
podcasts.
Now I have listened to theentirety of season one and thus
far nothing about sciencefiction has been mentioned or
(25:14):
even alluded to in the series.
Now that could change withseason two, which isn't out yet,
but I don't know.
It's not science fiction to me,not yet anyway.
The second season is scheduledto drop in mid-August.
Trap Street is a new mysteryfrom the creators of Strange Air
, and it has to do with anunemployed gamer named Josh, who
(25:38):
has received a mysterious emailwith two attachments that
magically open up.
The first image is that of awoman with red hair and green
eyes, and the second is an oldmap of a town called Ocean Bay,
which is several hours away fromwhere Josh lives.
Josh is a very sweet, a verynice guy.
(26:02):
He lacks drive, he'sunmotivated, he is content to
float through life.
He's not sure why he's beingsent to Ocean Bay, he doesn't
ask enough questions, but oncehe arrives in Ocean Bay, events
unfold that force Josh to makedecisions, be more assertive,
and by the time the first seasonends, I will happily report
(26:24):
that I no longer wanted to kickhim in the behind to get him
going.
Here's a clip so you canunderstand the mood in the
middle of San Francisco.
Trap Street (26:55):
I know, it's just a weird thing.
Well, at least you look likeyour pictures.
Thanks, so do you.
Are you?
ready to order?
Yes, I'll have a whiskey sourWith bourbon or rye Bourbon and
you Prohibition ale, pleaseGreat, I'll be right back.
(27:15):
So have you been on many ofthese dates?
No, not really, just a few.
I've been on 19.
Is that a lot Sure?
Feels like it.
Well, I promise to make the nexthour as entertaining as I
possibly can.
Hmm, you're sweet, so whatbrings you here?
Did you break up with someone?
(27:36):
Can I be honest?
That would definitely make thisdate stand out from all the
others.
My best friend's wife gave me asix-month subscription as a
gift.
Well, I'm guessing that meansyou're the third wheel in their
marriage.
That's funny.
I never thought of it that way.
I got this really strange emaillast night.
(27:58):
I need to see what's going onwith this mystery file.
Hey, it's a map of a towncalled Ocean Bay.
Someone sent these images toyou for a reason.
I'm so lost right now.
When was the last time you chosea direction and followed it?
I'm going to Ocean Bay.
(28:19):
We don't get many tourists thistime of year.
Ocean Bay is a friendly town,but we're not that friendly.
I never sent you an email.
I don't even know you.
And why exactly are you here?
The map is the reason we're here.
Maps help when you're lost.
Do you know what a trap streetis?
(28:40):
Trap streets aren't real.
They don't exist.
Don't trust anyone unless theygive you a reason to trust them.
I think he's dead.
How could so much damage happento a human body in such a short
period of time?
What the hell is going on here.
Jeryl Spear (28:57):
Just as an aside.
I actually knew about thispodcast months and months ago.
I never was curious about itbecause you know they're trap
houses, right, they're drughouses.
So I figured Trap Street thatwould have to be a whole block
full of trap houses and I wasn'tinterested in that.
(29:18):
And I'm so glad that I gave ita third and even a fourth look
until I finally gave in andlistened to the show.
(29:51):
My last review for this episodeis a podcast called the Metal
Detective, and it's definitelynot family-friendly.
I personally was fascinated byit, but I was glad that I wasn't
alone, that I didn't listen toit just before I went to bed,
and I definitely didn't listento it while on a long drive in
the dark.
Although there's all manner ofviolence and murder in this
podcast, for me it was still oneheck of a ride.
(30:13):
Of course, my warnings are forpeople like me who don't watch
zombie movies, at least not thenewer ones people getting their
heads smashed and all manner ofblood and gore.
So you'll have to gauge yourown tolerance accordingly.
The Metal Detective fromVelocity Studios is part of
their Greatest Scripts series,which adapts Hollywood's best

unproduced scripts into limitedepisodic podcasts Mixed in Dolby
Atmos, which is short forAtmosphere, and mastered in IAX,
which stands for ImmersiveAudio Experience.
The resulting soundscape makeslisteners feel as though they're
in the best seats of an IMAXtheater.

As such, if you want the fulleffect of this podcast, please
wear your headphones or yourearbuds so that you will get the
complete surround sound effects.
It consists of four regularepisodes and one bonus episode,
as well as several interviewswith leading voice talent, the
(31:20):
producer and the director.
It's set in the year 2045, whenthe world is suffering the
effects of global warming.
There is tension and socialpolarization among humans and
human-like robots.
And as a historic winter slamsinto New York City, detective

Jacqueline, aka Jack Irons,learns her marriage is over.
She's running from her fellowmen in blue and is forced to
seek shelter at the opulentBradbury Hotel after it becomes
impossible for her to hightailit out of town before her
family-in-arms catches up withher.
(32:03):
But instead of spending a nightsurrounded by luxury, jack is
thrust into a real-lifenightmare when an unknown killer
begins systematically knockingoff the hotel's society guests
Because of the white-outconditions.
The only person who couldpossibly stop the killing was
Jack, our reluctant yet fearlesshero With no one to trust,
(32:27):
human or robot.
Jack aims to catch the killerbefore the sun rises and before
her own past catches up with her.
You see, jack not only gottossed out of her home, she is
also wanted by the policedepartment that she actually
belongs to.
And with each murder, detectiveIrons becomes more frantic in
(32:48):
her investigation, knowing thatuntil she finds out who in the
hotel is doing the killing, morepeople are going to die.
And that, my dear listeners, isthe bare bones plot to seek
shelter from the storm.
