Loose Ends

CC Barlow and Valerie Uhlinpodcast.loose-ends.ca

Two brassy broads trying their best to make sense of life’s nonsense. Call it humorous therapy. Or Irreverent self-help. Learn a little, laugh a little, and leave feeling lighter. We hope.

Episodes

Things that Make You Go Hmm...

Send us a text Wherein CC and Val talk trifles, whacky word salads, and things that don’t make sense. Why do they sell 10 packs of hotdogs, but only 8 buns? Why is it a penny for your thoughts, but two cents for your opinion? And what about butterflies.? Deep shit this week.

Imprints, Residue or Merely Haunted?

Movies, Books, and TV influences

Ways of Knowing

What Ifs, Superheroes, and Baby Chicks

Send us a text Wherein CC and Val surprise each other with "If" questions; things like one last meal, one big regret, one superpower, and yet somehow end up in Val's 6th grade classroom tending baby chicks. Furry little chirp-balls they are... when they're alive.

Worry Much?

The Power of Threes

Watch Words
