  • Behind the Mic: Powers Point Podcast UNCUT, UNEDITED
    Nov 2 2024

    Have you ever tried to keep a straight face while recording a podcast with your closest friends? Join Scott, Jim, Keith, and Gavin as we share the hilarious chaos behind the scenes of the Powers Point Podcast. We're excited to update you on our wild journey with F.A.K.E Radio across its first four episodes and tease some electrifying plans for the upcoming season. Balancing professionalism with fun is no easy feat, but we're grateful for the feedback and laughs contributed by our listeners and family members, who have become part of our podcasting family.

    As the leaves turn and Halloween nostalgia creeps in, we reminisce about our most memorable costumes and the sugary delights that accompany the season. From superhero school escapades to crafting meatloaf hands, we've got stories that will make you laugh and maybe even inspire your next Halloween feast. And for those with dietary restrictions, like Caroline's diabetes, we're unpacking the mysterious world of sugar-free options and food regulations that seem to vary as wildly as our costume choices. Expect some eyebrow-raising insights into what makes candy sweet and cereal healthy.

    Our adventure doesn't stop there! We venture to Brookfield Zoo where the real stars might just be the Dippin' Dots ice cream, not the animals. Special guests Keith and Gavin add their own flavor to the mix, with Keith sharing his wrestling game passion and the heartwarming story of giving personalized T-shirts to fans at Backbreaker Wrestling. Amidst the impressions and banter that would make Oscar the Grouch smile, we build on the community we've grown, fueled by shared joy and mysterious convergences where worlds might just collide. Don't miss out on all the laughter and camaraderie as we ponder the cosmic forces behind our podcast journey.

  • Unexpected Twists and Timeless Tales of Resilience
    Oct 13 2024

    What happens when a pet tortoise goes missing for three decades and reappears alive in a dusty attic? Join us on the Powerspoint Podcast as we unravel the incredible story of Manuela's survival, alongside our beloved guest, Keith. We share a lighthearted poetic exchange before diving into heartfelt discussions about life's unpredictabilities, including a health scare that thankfully turned out to be cat scratch fever instead of cancer. Our sincere gratitude goes out to our listeners, who are more like friends, for their unwavering support during these times. With laughter and camaraderie, we venture into the ambitious "Powers Point Playhouse" project, teasing an exciting new episode featuring 14 participants, all while navigating the ups and downs of podcasting, including a lost comedy episode with Keith.

    Feel the pulse of the universe in our vibrant exploration of rhythm, weightlessness, and eternal love. We celebrate the interconnectedness of life and the cosmos, finding unity in the dance of existence. Our musings take us from the resilience of tortoises to the boundless energy of neon dreams, where every beat and pulse reflect the eternal light within us. The stories of Darwin's tortoise and a 550-year-old Greenland shark inspire us to embrace the unexpected wonders of everyday life. So, let go, harmonize with the cosmic flow, and join us as we merge into the brilliance of starlight, discovering unity and eternal light in the dance of life.

    Thank you for giving us a go, and hope you stick with us as we have some really amazing guest on and hole you have a laugh or two but no more than three.
