Alison and Tod: After Hours (Target Shake-Up)

By Alison Rosen on August 7, 2024 in podcast, Uncategorized

After a lengthy message at the top, really almost an episode in itself, check out this special presentation of one of my other podcasts, Alison and Tod: After Hours. Tod is rather shocked to learn that you can buy personal massagers at Target. Later, Alison and Tod discuss Renaissance Fairs, kids with potty mouths and artichokes. More episodes at patreon.com/alisonandtod.

Daniel and Alison (Loud Alison in Japan)

By Alison Rosen on August 4, 2024 in podcast, Uncategorized

We’re still in Japan and Daniel has a nickname for me that I don’t appreciate. We give an update on Wendy and discuss being locked out of the podcabin. I want to know how many female organs Daniel can name. We also discuss a few Japanese restaurant customs we’re perplexed by and some books I tried to give away.

Your Questions, Eating Armadillos and The Chuckle In Your Voice (Encore)

By Alison Rosen on July 31, 2024 in podcast

After a message from me about why we’re revisiting this episode, we get into it: Al’s eaten the finest of Uruguayan cuisine as we learned on this episode. Also we discussed what it would be like if turtles were on reality shows, everyone’s experience playing the recorder in grade school and Alison’s secret love of the recorder, Nibbles’s real name, our hot new mailbox, voiceover technique, The Jinx and Making a Murderer, whether being best friends suggests exclusivity, weird dreams and we took your questions over Twitter. Plus we did a round of Just Me Or Everyone and talked about an available dog named Rufus.

Janet Varney (Encore)

By Alison Rosen on July 14, 2024 in podcast

After last week’s group show with Janet Varney we needed to go back and revisit one of her early appearances (from May 6, 2012) because, as a listener said, her voice is like a warm hug!

Original description: Janet Varney, comedian, actor, voice over actor, producer, writer and host of The JV Club podcast stopped by this episode of Alison Rosen Is Your New Best Friend to chat about why “real life” can feel like high school, Mormon summer camp, “borrowing” garments from the drama department, high school crushes, dancing and mirror faces and a zillion more things. We also did a round of JMOE (click here to see the JMOEs we put on the screen) and Alfred Schulz called in with Things You Never Hear People Say. Plus Topic Sombrero, iTunes Comment of the Week and your emails.
