Be sure to check out the Oculus Quest 2 and the Alien III audiobook

Nurture & Support returns 🙂 Mel and I hope to get back to at least a monthly update for the podcast.   Here is one in a row… Kelly’s recommendation: Oculus Quest 2 After many failed attempts, I finally have a VR device I love.  No computer required, easy set up, and amazing VR experiences.  Definitely worth a look (and once you get it, get the Vader Immortal series!)      Mel’s recommendation:…

Dave LaGreca joins us to talk about our rankings of Alice Cooper albums – it was a great time! (Squat Cobbler)

The most awesome Dave LaGreca joins Dr. Mike and I to compare our rankings of Alice Cooper’s albums. We agree sometimes. We disagree sometimes. Mike lies many times.

He was an outstanding guest and we hope to have him back on the show often. Be sure to check…

There are some pretty cool video game perks for Amazon Prime members. We are just scratching the surface in this video talking about the free games you can install and use via the Amazon Games PC app. What makes this even better is AtGames Legends Ultimate owners can easily play these on their arcade unit using the BYOG option.  

Chest armor and dresses (Squat Cobbler 152)

WARNING: Several Star Wars spoilers (mostly the Clone Wars series) In this “Squat on the issues” episode Mike and I discuss Bo-Katan’s armor, The Mandalorian, and men in dresses. Sorry this one is as timely as we originally planned, but Mike had a few “moments” in this episode that I had to creatively edit. Took awhile 🙂 A YouTube version of this podcast with supporting images is available here…

Recommendations: The Boys and Art With Flo (Nurture & Support 185)

More recommendations from two rising TikToc stars….

Kelly’s recommendation –  The Boys

This Amazon show is based on the graphic novels of the same name by Garth Ennis. While there are many tweaks, it does effectively bring forward the dark, funny, dark, strange world of the graphic novel.  If you have problems with profanity.. not your show. If you have problems with VERY dark situations… not…

Aicook electric tea kettle review and a great GIMP tutorial YouTube channel – Nurture & Support 182

This week Mel returns to Amazon and Kelly FINALLY learns GIMP (sorta)

Mel’s recommendation:  Aicook Electric Kettle

After years of irresponsible tea brewing, Mel picked up an electric kettle with presets for the best temperature to brew green tea, white tea, Oolong tea, black tea, and coffee.  She has really noticed the difference in flavor, and outside of missing the cool blue LED light on her…
