The Playlists, The Tragedy in The Electric Forest, & The Regeneration

Release Date: 07/03/2026

Doom & Daisies

This week, we made a last minute change of plans. We had originally planned to cover the Nolan Wells case, but with new information continuing to emerge, we decided it deserves the time, research, and care necessary to tell the story responsibly. We’ll be bringing you that episode soon. Instead, this week we take a thoughtful look at the heartbreaking case of Lindsey Clancy. A case that has sparked conversations about postpartum mental health, accountability, family tragedy, and the complexities of public opinion. As always, we approach this subject with compassion for everyone affected...

The Arts, The Passion, & The Silence

Doom & Daisies

This week, Laurel and Valerie take center stage for a conversation about Broadway, the arts, and why creativity shouldn’t be a luxury reserved for those who can afford it. They discuss the rising costs of theater, concerts, and artistic experiences, the barriers that keep so many people from participating, and why they believe the arts should be accessible to everyone and not just a privileged few. The conversation turns personal as they reflect on the teachers, mentors, and adults who saw something in them long before they saw it in themselves. Those people watered seeds that had already...

The Birds in The Wildflowers, The Alien Void, and The Blockbusters

Doom & Daisies

This week we have a VERY special guest: Valerie's cat, Gromy! He makes his official podcast debut! Keep an ear out for his tiny little chirp, you really don’t want to miss it. Trigger Warning: This episode includes a discussion about the death of baby birds. If you'd rather skip that part, you can jump from 15:00–21:00. This week, we're catching up after Laurel's family visit. Her brother and his family came all the way from Colorado, and it was such a nice time together. We swap stories from their visit before getting into one of the sweetest (and saddest) moments of the week. Laurel...

The Workplace, The Whodunit, and The Water Puppy

Doom & Daisies

We’re barely keeping our heads above water over here this week as we talk about what it’s been like drowning at work… and the plot twist none of us saw coming: Gregg is officially our new manager. Trust us. We are just as surprised as you are. Then we head into one of the most controversial true crime cases of all time as we discuss the upcoming A&E Scott Peterson documentary. Scott was undeniably a terrible person, but does that automatically make him a murderer? We break down why this case still has people arguing more than 20 years later and share where we stand after...

The Verdict, The FIREworks, & The Physics Of It All

Doom & Daisies

Listener Note: This episode includes discussion of alleged sexual assault and the justice system, which may be difficult for some listeners. Please take care while listening. Happy post Fourth of July! Laurel finally has an office…with an echo. We PROMISE we will remedy that ASAP. We are all just works in progress, remember? Be patient with us. We are old. Some key points to this week's episode include: The NHL Controversy We discuss the 2018 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships assault which involves five NHL drafted players who were accused of sexually assaulting a woman. We...

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...

More Episodes

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 emo era: Vans or Converse? We may not solve the debate, but we definitely have opinions.

⚠️ Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussion of infant death and pregnancy-related topics.

In the second half of the episode, we discuss the heartbreaking case involving the infant found at Electric Forest. We go through the timeline, what investigators have shared publicly so far, and the questions that still don't have answers. If you'd rather skip this portion of the episode, you can jump from approximately 27:00 to 41:00.

Then we dive into the future of Doctor Who. With the latest regeneration leaving fans with more questions than answers, we talk about where the series could go from here, whether another network might pick it up, or if this really could be the end of the Doctor's story.

Thanks for hanging out with us this week. We appreciate every listen, every share, every like/comment, and every one of you who's along for the ride.
