A Tail of Two Kitties.
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. 😻🍾💯💖🎄

Granny Has A YouTube!
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. 😉
So if you can help support, go to:

And thank you so much. 💖

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.
“The 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: “Listen 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 ‘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 “Listen to old women.” Motherfudgers.
It’s ALL Soup, Cats ‘n’ Kittens. (and all who otherwise identify) -
New Episode Tomorrow!
Because How Else Could We Possibly Close Out Mental Health Week?
Hey there, cats and kittens and all who other wise identify! I’ve been hard at work on both my life, and your podcast. Should be taking it out of the oven Friday afternoon in time for tea. Your time zone may vary. Professional MamaCat on closed course; do not attempt at home.

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. “Granny 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), “Granny Has A Podcast, Season 1, episode 10, ‘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”
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.

MamaCat’s Rockin’ New Years Eve Epiphany Vacation super party!
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, “What 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
Peace and Love for the New Year, everybody! Love you miss you peace out bye till the next one! 😘🎉🥂💖 #HatitudeOfGratitude🎩

MamaCat and the Hattitude of Gratitude
Or, how I learned to keep complaining and love the process 🤣🎩😉
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🎩 -
They All Laughed
When I said that a podcast might be what I’d like to do.
They all laughed, but now we’re starting season 2!
Listen to your Granny. She knows stuff about stuff.

MamaCat and All the Coffee Cups
There’s a lot of them. It’s my current Instagram obsession, starting each morning with a photograph of my coffee cup, first thing, with a view of what’s going on out on my deck. That may sound unremarkable to you, but it’s brought to life one of my three words of the year.
Routine! It’s a delightful coffee routine! I don’t generally do those New Year’s traditions, like choosing a word to guide you, or a special intention for the whole year, or resolutions. But this year, I got that little inner lightning bolt three times from three posts from three people, so I said, “OK, Universe, gotcha.”
Hail Squacky! Focus. Routine. Clarity. So simple. But a year ago, I lacked focus, had lost all sense of routine, and was seeking clarity. And now I am receiving these things. Or creating them. Or both. So every morning, a coffee. Every coffee cup, a friendly reminder that I started something new when it felt like there was nothing. These coffee cups, they’re little symbolic cheerleaders. May you have all the focus, routine, and clarity you desire.
Yay Penzey’s!

Oh That Can’t Be Done 🤣
“Describe your most ideal day from begining to end,” says the prompt. But… there’s no such thing as Ideal. And most days contain something of meaning and beauty. Therefore, Granny Has a Podcast. 😎✌💖

Did you Google me??
Thank you for finding “Granny /has A Podcast Dot Com,” we’ve been looking for your arrival. Please take off your muddy boots before you come upstairs. I have nice hot tea and snacks.
Here’s the very latest. It’s no big whoop. Just life and death. The usual.
If you like this sort of thing, please, drop me a note at grannyhasapodcast@gmail.com and I’ll put you on the list! Wheeeeee!!!!!!
“Granny Has A Podcast” is fun for “Women of a Certain Age,” with attitude.
From my blog “MamaCat on the Loose”, MAMACAT AND THE INVISIBLE TARGET DEMO:
“we used to have fun…we kinda feel erased sometimes… Most of the product marketed to Women 55+ is all about feeling empowered throughout menopause… Do you miss that one yakky girlfriend who always had SUCH stories? I’m here, babe.” -
Granny Has A Podcast, Season 1, Episode 4: Meanwhile, the Latest
So the summer started with all the promise of a glass of red wine on the beach at Malibu, and led to oh so many Knee Dramas instead of to Tucson Comic-Con. That would have been fun, and yes I am still longing for Mexican food. As we turn to autumn, HusbandCat and I are closing in on studio upgrades (we hung up some audio insulation) and luxury home repairs (we got a dishwasher after going five years without one). It’s a thrill ride beyond compare
Please enjoy the further adventures of how MamaCat is learning to stand up for herself at the doctor. Just like a great big grown-up girl. Includes at least one scandalous reference to a stupid thing a doctor said, and at least one reference to punk rock. You’ve been warned.
We’ll have to get around to the beauty of home-grown tomatoes and the joys of Beagle Life soon, but for now, here’s “Meanwhile, the Latest,” for your dining and dancing pleasure.
MamaCat Chews Through the Leash for Good! – Granny Has A Podcast
Betcha thought I died. Or got bored. Or forgot I had a podcast in the first place. Joke's on you, booboo! I've made one kajillion life choices in the past whole entire year without a new episode. Listen in to the wacky misadventures of an old lady with mad audio skills, the world's cutest Beagle, and a frikkin 16-year-old car, as she undertakes flight from the frying pan and heads right into the fire. -
Granny Has A Podcast
Season 1, Episode 3.5: MamaCat and The Great Behind
A funny thing happened on the way to the rest of the summer. Knee Drama! So MamaCat did NOT go to Tucson ComicCon, and surely the Silver Sneakers detour into Water Aerobics cannot be far behind. Nevertheless, we rock on. Nevertheless, MamaCat persisted.
Still longing for Mexican food.

You are on the right track.
Success is earned, one step at a time. One of the most invaluable skills a person can have is being able to clearly express what they want. Sometimes the hardest part of finding success is gathering the courage to get started. As long as you’re learning, you’ll never really fail.
The most successful people don’t look back to see who’s watching.
“Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fail.”
—Confucius
Look for opportunities to lift others up along the way. Having the proper mindset, moving outside your comfort zone, developing and maintaining healthy relationships, and staying focused have been key drivers of success for thousands of years.

Sweet success.
