    Raise a glass to the kitty I left behind me, General Domino LadyCat of the Galactic Alliance. And raise a glass to lovely Wheelie, the kitty who welcomed me and Amy Farah Howler into her home.

    Happy Cat Ranch Productions endorses this tail of two kitties. πŸ˜»πŸΎπŸ’―πŸ’–πŸŽ„

    And since arriving back in the Greatest City in the World, I have a new playlist, “The Scary New York Streets of New York” — which is, of course, very intense mockumentary most of the time.

    This time, come with us on a little walk in the park. No snark this time, possibly even something educational; but mainly there’s a dog, so little else matters.

    Amy and I would love it if you would like, subscribe, and share. I’m just a gracefully aging content creator, standing in front of an ugly divorce, wondering if I’ll ever have a 1099 again. πŸ˜‰

  • Granny Has A New Episode Up! What?!

    “Seaon 3, episode 1, MamaCat Chews Through the Leash for Good”

    Yes my darlings, it happened. I produced some actual audio. Welcome to Season 3, episode 1, please keep your hands and arms inside the car at all times. This is a dark ride. But also cool. 😎

    Ooh la la! Action shot!

  • MamaCat’s Never-Ending Festival of Spring Cleaning!!!

    MamaCat’s Never-Ending Festival of Spring Cleaning!!!

    At Long Last, She Produces a New One.

    Clean Out Your Mailbox! Clean out your Mind? Clean out your Closets.

    Absolutely, positively, not about household cleaning tips. That’s some other podcast.

    β€œThe Webby Awards took place last night. We’d already covered the podcast winners; the ceremony’s famous five-word speeches included one from Lemonada Media’s Julia Louis-Dreyfus, winning podcast of the year for Wiser Than Me: β€œListen to old women, motherfudgers”. (Some words may have been changed to ensure delivery of this email.) You can watch highlights at The Webby Awards website.”

    You tell β€˜em, Elaine Baby.

    I promised you last time that we’d talk about junk mail, and we do. And as this evening marks the end of National Mental Health Week in the U.S. (where we could use some), we talk about that too. Also, physical junk gets cleaned out too. Includes research, opinion, and as always, there’s Time Travel.

    Today’s Soup contains: Heavy duty personal stuff sandwiched between slices of hot fresh snark and sarcasm. Tender moments of inner vulnerability mixed with humor and reflection. Consumer reports sprinkled with obscure 60s & 70s pop culture references.

    I promise, this podcast doesn’t sound like the other Grannies’ podcasts, because I’m not like the other grannies. But I hang out with them. And they want you to do like Julia says, and β€œListen to old women.” Motherfudgers.

    It’s ALL Soup, Cats ‘n’ Kittens. (and all who otherwise identify)

  • A MamaCat Golden Oldie Blast from the Past!!

    A MamaCat Golden Oldie Blast from the Past!!

    A Love Letter from Last Year for This Year

    Hey there, Cats and Kittens and all who otherwise identify,

    Happy Day, you Mothers!

    Nope, I didn’t shut down, I didn’t go away, everything’s Bonzer, and I really am working on something new for you. β€œGranny Has A Podcast” is still a thing. BUT, today’s a day, isn’t it?

    Say it loud. I’m a Dog Mom and proud.

    Here’s to the square pegs. Here’s to those of us who just survive this day with sardonic humor and no regrets. Here’s to the people with uncomfortable feelings around what happens to our social media feeds every year on this day. Here’s to waking up to a heart-filling, loving Happy Mother’s Day message, not from any of my stepchildren… but from one of the gorgeous loving souls I hadn’t even met yet last year.

    So, come into the safety of my loving arms. I accept you as you are. Allow me to re-up this Golden Oldie Blast from the Past (a whole year ago), β€œGranny Has A Podcast, Season 1, episode 10, β€˜MamaCat Says Happy Day, You Mothers!” Here’s to having a few laughs and looking at some of the great TV Moms.

    New episode will occur. Promise. But this one here oughta give ya some grins in the meantime.

    Peace and Love,

    MamaCat

  • “MamaCat and the Chain of Foolishness”

    “MamaCat and the Chain of Foolishness”

    This just in from the Minneapolis Bureau …

    Howdy there, cats and kittens and all who otherwise identify… been good? All good here.

    We turned out to have a lot of consumer advice on the Happy Cat-genda this time, as well as the need to praise my Union President in song, and two short tales from the Gendered Ageism files. I have also discovered a need for more and better microphones, because I apparently like singing with myself. Hope you like what I threw into today’s soup. There’s plenty, so take seconds.

    Happy New Year, cats and kittens and all who otherwise identify! Welcome to my rockin’ New Years Epiphany Vacation Eve super party! (I keep changing the order of the words on that phrase because language is fun and words have meanings.)

    Today’s soup includes comfort and joy, the holly and the ivy, and the usual sleaze. OK, it’s mainly, β€œWhat I did on my Christmas Vacation,” starring MamaCat and HusbandCat as the Griswolds, finally getting it right. But then… we always did want to see the Griswolds finally get it right. #HolidayRoad

    MamaCat and her Ramones. Honestly! Bitchen killah new headshots by Dani Werner Photography. When in Minneapolis-St. Paul, she’s your go-to. https://www.daniphoto.com/

    And if you’re liking this stuff… you know I’m always in the mood for a coffee… https://www.buymeacoffee.com/grannyhasaa

  • MamaCat and the Hattitude of Gratitude

    MamaCat and the Hattitude of Gratitude

    Or, how I learned to keep complaining and love the process πŸ€£πŸŽ©πŸ˜‰

    That sounds like a helluva boring formula motivational speech, doesn’t it? “How I Learned to Keep Complaining and Love the Process,” the next TedX YouTube you’ll back out of in a great big hurry! But don’t worry. I wouldn’t do that to you.

    Today’s soup contains: slain dragons, consumer relations, self-advocacy, and the great Sly Stone. Oh, and tomatoes. Of course tomatoes. May also contain: snark, sarcasm, sound effects, opinion, excellent music choices. Processed in a facility that also contains a Beagle and a polydactyl cat. Professional driver on closed course. Do not attempt at home. Yes I’ll pick up milk on the way home.

    Put on the Hat! #HattitudeOfGratitude🎩

    General Domino LadyCat
    of the Galactic and / or Intergalactic Alliance.
    She is intrepid.

    There is, no doubt, a fascinating backstory as to when and how General Domino LadyCat helped establish the Galactic Alliance; and the tale of how that grew to become the Intergalactic Alliance is an Epic one.

    Admit it. That’s a helluva good run-on sentence.

    Stay tuned, as over the coming weeks we learn the Legends and Truths of General Domino LadyCat. Meow, darlings.

    She’s on my Insta, but she’s bucking for her own branding. In fairness, I could see that.

  • MamaCat Goes to the Theatre

    Harper Lee’s β€œTo Kill a Mockingbird,” a new play by Aaron Sorkin.

    And starring Richard Thomas on tour. It was just delicious. I’m not here to review it, I’m here to praise it.I love it when a play casts a spell so thoroughly, so utterly, so irresistibly, upon the audience. So good.

    🎩

    #HattitudeOfGratitude

    It’s weird to be in the house and not on the stage. But when it’s this good, when we lose all sense of where and when we are, and abandon ourselves to a story well told… all I can be is so grateful.

  • MamaCat ❀s NY

    Autumn in New York
    Why does it seem so inviting?
    Autumn in New York
    It spells the thrill of first-nighting
    Glittering crowds and shimmering clouds
    In canyons of steel
    They’re making me feel I’m home

    Vernon Duke wrote that in 1934. 🌟🎢

    Just saying.

    Three years, 7 months. I haven’t been “home” to the City in approaching four years now, and cats & kittens, MamaCat is feeling it.

    I gotta get back. I want to hang out with Shannon and take some classes and have a seat at this particular sidewalk in the vicinity of MacDougal & west 3rd downtown. I want to see a show or five.

    Huh. #GrannyHasANostalgia.

  • What even IS North?, part 2, the sequel: Still Coffee

    Not going out there.
    3 degrees Fahrenheit.
    Nope.
    Just going to enjoy the pretty reflections.

    February in Minnesota, amirite? These are the days and nights wherein I am glad that I have learned the Principles of Soup, both literal and figurative. But seriously, how the actual eff is it really Friday again??

    But soft, the Clubhouse “The Working Voice Actor” is about to begin. It’s Tom Antonellis today and he’s astonishing.

    So, please excuse MamaCat and enjoy a coffee. And here’s the Principles of Soup episode once again, this time on Audible, in case you missed it the first time or would like to dish up another serving:

    Listen to GHAP: Season 1, episode 5: MamaCat and the Principles of Soup. by Granny Has A Podcast on Audible. https://www.audible.com/pd/B0BK4L7QQY?source_code=ASSOR150021921000O

  • Haaaaaave ya met MamaCat? πŸ˜ŽπŸŽ§πŸŽ™

    Things I have learned since I started my podcast last summer:

    1. Before you go to do something, you gotta do something else first.

    2. The 80/20 rule will always, always apply.

    3. There’s a whole lotta people out there who are very excited to learn you’ve gone and started a podcast! Until they find out that you didn’t start it for the purpose of interviewing them! 🀣🀣🀣🀣🀣

    4. Life does not automatically re-arrange itself so that you can make podcast episodes. That only happens on “Only Murders in the Building”.

    5. If you’re going to spend THAT kind of money on your little audio-visual habit, you may as well turn out content. It’s better than waiting for your agents to call.

    Season 1 episode 8 is super cool. I like them all but this one’s kind of my birthday present edition. Please enjoy. Season 1, episode 8

    It started off as, “I’m taking the day off,” and now look at me. Up to my trifocals in Things and Stuff.

    This time last year, I couldn’t have said that, or even been able to handle it if it were true. #HattitudeOfGratitudeπŸŽ©πŸ€“πŸ₯³ Just saying. So have yourself a coffee, and have a nice weekend. And if it’s not coffee, then, a cuppa what you like.. Cheers!
