“Waves at me, taunts me, calls me names” is my favourite quote from the pod now 😂❤
Late night episodes should be called BOOKS UNHINGED. 😂😂😂
Raeleen's 3 seconds cool sounds, indeed were very cool sounds
It's like Ariel is the main character in Poe's lesser known work, The Tell-Tale Squirrel.
What a great story!
So it happened. The more you talked about biscuit tea the more I wanted it. So I finally ordered it and waited. It arrived this weekend. I made a cup, found my book, and took both to my front porch. The experience was glorious. Thank you for sharing biscuit tea withall of us.
Ariel, "Eaves" is the word you're looking for, for that roof-ish bit above doors and windows.
You should write a book: " I bought an old house."
Drinkin' my morning biscuit tea and watching my favorite podcast!
Can't wait to hear Raeleen dropping the base with "Get out of my swamp" 🤣🤣🤣 this is GOLD
I listen to audio books when I walk, and I can only listen to informational books, no fiction - I find my mind wandering. Thanks, Ariel, for articulating why! I just got my Mashed Potato pin, and I love it on my Books Unbound yellow cap. Now, I’ll get the peach one!
I NEED an animated version of both squirrel stories in those Hamilton music video styles from 2016, the storytellingz the imagery, amazing
Ariel's story about the first squirrel had me in legit tears. 😂 One time I put out some birdseed and when it ran out some squirrels came to protest. One of them climbed up the screen on the door so it could be taller than me and yelled at me. We don't speak the same language, but they know exactly how to get their message across hahaha (Also you're getting so close to 10,000 subs on here!!)
Make sure the squirrel is not inside the walls when you finally get it sealed! We had a squirrel die in our roof once, and our house was infested with flies for weeks after, it was awful.
Everytime when you enter the Mail-Room I think about the first time I listened to your podcast and I thought you said "Male-Room" and was so surprised about what is going to happen now 😂
I really enjoyed and recommend the audiobook for Tom Lake by Ann Patchett for the same reason. It was narrated by Meryl Streep and she does a great job. It is also the story of the main character telling her daughters the story of her former acting career, so again very conversational and easy to listen to. (It was also my first Ann Patchett book and based on Tom Lake I definitely want to read another book by her.)
Imagining Raeleen producing Lofi that includes “WHERES THE BABY?” audio from Shrek, made me laugh so hard. Please Raeleen we need this!
"I didn't know he had so many names" as a marine biology student in exam season this really made me laugh. They all have so many names! Loved #taxonomy moment, very cute
Can’t explain how much I love listening to you both every week ❤ feels like a catch-up with friends ,you both bring me so much joy and always lift my mood 😊 just wanted to thankyou both for being you and for bringing this podcast to everyone ❤️
Love the cool sound! Starts out feeling like I’m in a giant cool church and then it gets a bit more modern and funky.. so fun!
A fun flying squirrel story, my grandfather had flying squirrels as pets in the 80s/90s. He cut down a tree where they lived and the mother abandoned the babies so he adopted them. They are nocturnal, so they would sleep during the day either in the curtains or my Grampa's shirt pocket and then come out at night suprising guests by gliding down.
Sadly, their lives were cut short by flying into toilet bowls before I was born but they are very well remembered by the older people in my family.
Hooray for not finishing books early! I pushed to the half-way mark on a book I wasn't liking since page 1! (It was a book club, that's why I pushed as far as I did). But, you know, favorite books don't have caveats like "eh, it was slow in the beginning" or whatever. Favorite books grab you from line 1 and propel you to the end and leave you wanting more.
I was looking away from my phone, and so failed to notice right after raeleen said “one of my mashed potato hobbies is” youtube went to an ad with a little electronic beat right at that moment, so I just assumed that Raeleen was showing off her electronic music as a way of revealing her new hobby 😂😂😂
Also Raeleen you should The Last of Her Kind by Sigrid Nunez - it’s set from the 60s to the 80s and follows two young women who were freshman roommates in college in 1968 and their life trajectory after that
I forgot to mention after the last podcast that the one time I visited Canada (back in 2003 for a fan meet-up in Winnipeg for the TV show Roswell), I was indeed introduced to beaver tail! 😃 If I remember correctly it had Nutella on top. It reminded me of lángos, which is a Hungarian savory, fried flatbread that's a popular food truck item here in Sweden.
It would be amazing if one day Raeleen created some lofi reading music
The physical version of Gathering Moss has a bunch of illustrations! If you ever want to try it again that may be better than the audiobook
I feel you Ariel, a squirrel kept trying to steal my lunch in the park last week!
The best Manson Family book, in my opinion, was written by former cult member, Dianne Lake. Published in 2017, “Member of the Family: My Story of Charles Manson, Life Inside His Cult, and the Darkness That Ended the Sixties” is worth reading for an excellent first-person, insider’s account. Dianne was only 14 when she joined The Family!
Raeleen you've gotta call your sound Swamp Ambience.
The Outrun is fantastic ! Excellent descriptions of the wild and has help me so much getting sober for good !! Beautifully written as well, sharp and salted, like the ocean.
I can’t remember... what were the animals you had in your basement? Oh, thanks... the weasels! ... I have had birds and a squirrel come down my chimney. The birds I dealt with by opening windows... but I had to call someone to chase the squirrel out. And cap the chimney. It's been 20 years and no more visitors :) ... I just finished Butter! I listened to it. Listening to it, I had trouble keeping the characters straight... And I just borrowed The Pachinko Parlor from Libby :)
Losing Eden sounds really good, especially as I'm currently reading Matrescence by the same author and I love it, the content is so interesting and I really like Lucy Jones' writing style
These titles 🤣🤣🤣🤣
[Edited post viewing, I don't understand the mention of stealing a book in the title, was it just for the title?]
Maybe referring to the fact that Ariel can't find her copy of Pieces? I'm also very confused 😂
It's just a joke, there was a cheeky squirrel in the house, and Ariel lost a book :P
Ariel, do you mean a portico? It’s the little roof over your porch supported by columns or posts. Or if it’s the overhang that goes all around your roof, then it’s the eaves, as someone else said.
I know Raeleen said that she's not that interested in moss anymore, but I think she should check out Gathering Moss by Robin Wall Kimmerer, she's an indigenous author and the book is so very charming and beautiful! 🌱
That's the book she said she dnf'd. 😅 (Around 31:07 )
Raeleen, if you’re interested in like 70s “cult-y” books, you might like Arcadia by Lauren Groff. But, as a flag, you also might not because it’s kind of plotless, just tells the story of the protagonist who was brought up in a 70s commune over a few decades of his life. I really enjoyed it though, the characters were pretty interesting and Lauren Groff’s writing is really beautiful.
Ariel's story at the beginning unlocked core memories of the 90s movie Mouse Hunt, anyone else?
Mouse Hunt 2? Squirrel Hunt?
Ariel, I thought I need to expand my reading journey and I was wandering through. UA-cam audiobooks and came across a book by Haruki Murakami called Norwegian Wood. It is about lost love, I am glad it was free, as I am struggling. I just finished Pride and Prejudice, as I found two hard cover sets of Jane Austin in the old house we are renovating. So I must read them. I must say the upper class are seriously stupid.
Looks like the direct link to the ball cap isn’t there (at least for me) but wanted to let everyone know that if you click into the merch store and browse you can find it there!😊❤thanks for another fun Monday morning pod!
Raeleen’s cool sound ghosts roller skating in an abandoned indoor rink.
i totally forgot to mention this on last weeks podcast, ariel i think you would hate the way old austrian, but particularly viennese floors are numbered. so you complained how in europe you beginn with a ground floor which is numbered zero and then the first floor is above that. well, in vienna old buildings (i would guess them to have been built pre world war 1) have one more floor in between the ground floor and the first floor called 'mezzanin'. although this is no longer tradition, numerous houses still have this floor.
i would absolutely listen to raeleen’s sound when i need ambient music lol
Also weird that we call them elephant ears because there are also beavers in the states, like??? I havent seen them sold as elephant ears though just as beaver tails but it was like a gimmicky food truck plastered with Canadian flags
Oops, I apologize for my weird username, I did not realize I could change the number behind my name 😂
But talking about books on cults, I recently bought a book called "Cultish" by Amanda Montell. A non-fiction book that gives a deeper insight into the language used by different types of cults. Haven't read it yet, but it might be up your alley.
Hi Ariel and Raeleen! I unfortunately dropped a 25 lb barbell plate on my foot yesterday, and although not broken I won’t be able to be on my feet for a while. Any quick and fun book recs for a more stationary time?
Is a beaver tail like a bear paw??
Now we need to come up with your music name Raeleen Again
❤❤❤
I thought you read or were reading Pisces and you weren't liking it??
