The Playlists, The Tragedy in The Electric Forest, & The Regeneration
Doom & Daisies
This week, we're talking about a little bit of everything, because, honestly, that's kind of our brand. How do YOU listen to music? Are you loyal to Spotify, Apple Music, or Pandora, or are you one of those people who's built an impressive vinyl collection? We chat about what makes vinyl so special, why people love collecting it, and whether it's worth the hype. Along the way, Valerie somehow ends up remembering her joyous time wearing every color imaginable, in the form of a cupcake dress…to Laurel’s wedding. Then, obviously, we tackle one of the most important questions to come out of...

The Burnout, The Breakdown, & The Ballads
Doom & Daisies
This week on Doom & Daisies, we're pulling back the curtain a little. Starting a podcast has been one of the most exciting things we've ever done, but it has also come with its fair share of anxiety, self-doubt, stress, and wondering if we're doing any of this right. This episode is an honest conversation about what mental health really looks like behind the scenes as Valerie and Laurel open up about work, everyday pressures, and the invisible battles so many of us carry. Of course, we couldn't stay serious the entire time. We chat about Valerie's cat, Gromy, Laurel's lovable chaos goblin...

The Folk Singer, The Festival, & The Time Traveler
Doom & Daisies
Come chase answers with us this week as we talk about Noah Kahan and Bonnaroo, not just the lyrics that seem to put words to feelings we didn’t know how to explain, but what it was like hearing those songs in the middle of the festival itself. Noah brought those stories to life on the Bonnaroo stage, and we explore how music becomes something bigger when it’s shared among thousands of people. Through the rain, the mud, and the moments when plans fell apart, Bonnaroo became the perfect backdrop for the kind of connection Noah’s music captures so well. Then we dig deeper into the festival...

The Lost Boys (Again), The Tonys, & The Woman in The Ocean
Doom & Daisies
This week on Doom & Daisies, we're discussing new horror movie releases, Spencer Pratt's mayoral ambitions (and how, despite being a bleeding-heart liberal, Laurel somehow can't help but like him), Valerie's baffling insistence that she's a Broadway fan despite never having seen Dexter, and the undeniable fact that all roads lead back to Michael C. Hall. Which only raises more questions considering she likes Six Feet Under…a lot. Because apparently we can't help ourselves, we also find our way back to The Lost Boys yet again. Valerie remains fully committed to the idea that turning it...

The Lizard People, The Missing Scientists, & The Literary Smut (that Laurel hates)
Doom & Daisies
What do lizard people, missing scientists, Broadway musicals, self-driving cars, CrimeCon, Pride Month, and hockey romance novels have in common? Apparently...us. In our debut episode, Laurel and Valerie compare notes on everything currently occupying space in their brains. From missing scientists and lizard people to romance novels, Broadway, and beyond. It's weird, it's chaotic, and we've somehow gone from missing scientists to literary smut in a single episode. We'd apologize, but this is pretty much the premise of the show. We're new here…so for now, we have an excuse. Welcome to...
