The Because Show

On this Episode 56 of The Because Show, Jerilyn is all about the online Jeopardy test. How did she do?  And we begin to talk about the thing you’re not supposed to talk about in polite company. Money.  Do you find yourself overwhelmed by money confusion and financial garble or are you skilled at interest rates and cost-averaging stock purchases? Here are some resources you may find of interest: * Dave Ramsey’s radio show * Marketplace Money radio show * Mint.com puts all your financial accounts in one place. * Bankrate.com compare mortgage, interest and bank rates. * Morningstar, mutual fund and stock information. * Investing 101 by Kathy Kristof Probably more info than you need, right? We’ll keep you posted on Amy’s progress throughout the year and please let us know if you want to jump on the bandwagon in streamlining your finances.  Oh, and we mention some books including Dodie Smith’s ‘I Capture The Castle’ and Don Delillo’s ‘Cosmopolis’. Good stuff! AND thanks so much for the latest iTunes reviews! Speaking of reviews, we have had an increase in the amount iTunes reviews! Listeners, old and new, can support the show by taking a half-minute and leaving an iTunes review. Or even just clicking on some darn stars would help? Of course, more reviews equals more movement to push our podcast back into the hot ‘n bothered ‘What’s Hot’ category that we love. And the best way you can support us is by spreading the word and telling a friend about our show – we love that! Oh! Last year when Amy and Susan’s birthdays rolled around, we asked  listeners call in to our voicemail to leave a sweet BIRTHDAY GREETING for best wishes and overall birthday happiness. It was great! Now you can call in and leave a message for Jerilyn and it will delight her around mid-February. Lots of advance notice here, so put it on your ‘to do’ list pronto. Feedback, opinions or comments? There are plenty of ways to connect with us – the facebook page, the twitter @thebecause or @jerilynd or @hotpad87 or @amyforstadt. Or call our voicemail at 818-643-1565. Or write us thebecauseshow@baldmove.com or thebecauseshow@gmail.com. See you on the next episode!

We’re like a machine that can never be broken. Like a podcast machine that will never stop. On this episode, we not only review our New Year’s Resolutions from last year but also review our progress. Some things are hard to accomplish in just one year, right? We look ahead to Jerilyn’s birthday in February and the promise of a very fun party with deliciousness provided by Andy of The Table Set podcast.  We answer a listener question regarding the challenges of air travel. What else is up in this episode? Money problems. Mo’ money, mo’ problems. Or less money, mo’ problems. Can possibly mint.com help take the edge off for Amy’s finances? Perhaps. Or maybe Dave Ramsey’s program? We shall see.  Whate else? Also, some Devacurl (yay!) and Burt’s Bees (yuk!) reviews. Speaking of reviews, we have had a lull in the iTunes reviews! Listeners, old and new, can support the show by taking a half-minute and leaving an iTunes review. Or even just clicking on some darn stars would help?

Happy New Year! Welcome to 2013! The Because Show knows that with great power comes great responsibility, therefore we pulled ourselves together and recorded an episode for you. So many things to talk about – including sleep orgasms, sweaterphenania, overglamming and holiday hangovers. Jerilyn, Susan and Amy are ready to embark on 7 Days Of Sweaters on The Because Show facebook page, where we and all enthusiastic listeners upload photos of their best, worst or favorite sweater. V-neck, crewneck, cowl, sweatervest, shrug – we don’t even care! Just take a picture of your cute self wearing a sweater and let us ogle your fair visage. Books! Some new interesting books have crossed our nightstands as of late, including: Dark Places by Gillian Flynn “Libby Day was seven when her mother and two sisters were murdered in “The Satan Sacrifice of Kinnakee, Kansas.” As her family lay dying, little Libby fled their tiny farmhouse into the freezing January snow. She lost some fingers and toes, but she survived–and famously testified that her fifteen-year-old brother, Ben, was the killer. Twenty-five years later, Ben sits in prison, and troubled Libby lives off the dregs of a trust created by well-wishers who’ve long forgotten her.” Ready Player One by Ernest Kline “…a spectacularly genre-busting, ambitious, and charming debut—part quest novel, part love story, and part virtual space opera set in a universe where spell-slinging mages battle giant Japanese robots, entire planets are inspired by Blade Runner, and flying DeLoreans achieve light speed.” The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield (recommended by a listener) “Reclusive author Vida Winter, famous for her collection of twelve enchanting stories, has spent the past six decades penning a series of alternate lives for herself. Now old and ailing, she is ready to reveal the truth about her extraordinary existence and the violent and tragic past she has kept secret for so long.” Do you have a book you want us to read? Tell us! Or if you read a book we’ve recommended, please let us know!   Feedback, opinions or comments?

We talked the talk and we walked the walk on this one. A smattering of holiday chatter, some incisive trendspotting and a few incredible embarrassing stories. Susan tells our ultimate favorite personal anecdote ‘Hot Pad’.  We really are a rich playground of informative data! For example, we mention: * Monkey Mind: A Memoir of Anxiety by Daniel Smith, Amy reviews. * Sister by Rosamund Lupton, a book recommendation from a listener! * The Last Seduction neo-noir movie from the mid-90’s. Sooooo gooood. * Lost, Downton Abbey, Friday Night Lights tv appreciation. And we save the product reviews for the very end! This week we review Peter Thomas Roth’s DeSpot Brightening Corrector and Anastasia Advanced Brow Serum. As always, we love to hear your feedback. You can call us at 818-643-1565 or email us at thebecauseshow@gmail.com or like us on facebook. One more thing? If you have a minute, we would love it if you could leave a review on iTunes for us. Thanks! xxoo
