Sandwiched

Sharon Currie and Trish Thornton

Pour yourself a cup of tea in a china cup, or grab a beer in a can and settle in. Trish and Sharon (and sometimes Matt) have a lot to discuss. Raised in small town Canada, we came of age when the rules were clear and we knew what we were supposed to do. Now, we're feeling SANDWICHED. We have aging parents, kids, jobs, and all the pressures that go along with that. The old rules don't apply anymore. Join us on our storytelling journey where we try to make sense of everything. Our promises to you include: - We will never tell you what you SHOULD do (we hate the word SHOULD.) - You will not feel guilty after listening to this podcast. - There might be some fiddle music. - You may experience one small laugh per podcast (or not.) We're like a family road trip, but without the family and with fun people instead. Glad you're along for the ride! read less

We wore WHAT in gym class?

We wore WHAT in gym class?

Gym class. It either brings back fond memories of friendly games of badminton or volleyball, or it conjures up the horrors of health studies and endless days of folk dancing. Well, Sharon and Trish are going to serve you up a bit of both, but Matt might actually win the prize for the best public school gym class.
