    The Big Boo Cast, Episode 438
    Apr 17 2025
    We've had some bluebird spring days in San Antonio and Birmingham over the last week, so on this episode Melanie and I talk about how we've been soaking up the great weather. Melanie also bemoans the endlessness of a day after waking up early, and I share about my harrowing unintended career change into world of first aid and medical transport.

    On top of all that, we discuss the outstanding array of Alabama baseball's walk-up songs, and it's my turn for Five Favorites.

    Hope you enjoy!

    Apr 10 2025
    This week Melanie and I have so many post-live show thoughts...about air travel, about the fun we had in Arkansas, and about all the basketball we've watched since we've been back at home. We also marvel at the ways our college baseball fortunes improved over the course of the weekend.

    On top of that, Melanie discusses the perils of losing your wallet, and it's also her turn for Five Favorites.

    Enjoy, everybody!

    While Melanie went to Round Top with Caroline this past weekend, I watched a lot of basketball and Netflix, so we catch up on this episode about all of our respective adventures (on my end of things, to be clear, "adventures" is a super strong word). There's also a post-book club recap of our Here Be Dragons discussion with Perry, which was the 2025 gift we didn't even know we needed.

    Also, I share about how I decided to celebrate my mama's birthday this year, and it's my turn for Five Favorites.

    Hope you enjoy!
