Episode 24, Three Legged Stool
It’s a special show this week as the KelRy unit records live from their living room couch. The subjects today touch on all three of the pillars (music, mortality, and happiness) that are the foundation of the show. Listen in as our intrepid twosome tell some personal stories about their many different lives in the music industry as DJs, musicians, promoters, entrepreneurs, publishers and administrators. The show wraps up with a few words about two very special folks that have recently shuffled off this mortal coil.
This week’s episode finds our desolate duo recently returned from a field trip to the local movie house where they went for a viewing of the recent release, “I Saw the LIght”. The film is a bio pic based on the turbulent life of country music legend, Hank Williams. Kelly and Ryan don their movie critic hats and share their respective reactions to the movie and then cap the discussion with a performance of the classic gospel song, “Driftin’ Too Far from the Shore”. 
This week Kelly and Ryan took some time from their busy schedules to talk over the art, science, and lore of avoiding labor. From bum anthems to laziness manifestos, our tireless yet workadverse couple conversationally examine the prevalence, provenance and importance of “workshirkin’” songs in the folk tradition. Kick up your feet, call in sick and pop in your ear buds for yet another edifying episode of The Aching Hearts Show! 
One part informational and one part editorial, this episode finds our capricious cohosts rapping about the folk phenomenon known as fiddle tunes. Listen in as Kelly and Ryan paint both an historical and a contemporary picture of this musical sub genre and it’s curious practitioners. 
The Binary Babbling Consortium is at it again. In this week’s thrilling episode they flip last week’s script and have a frank chat about the legacy of patriarchal domination in our culture, marriage as a kind of house arrest, sexism, the Greek pantheon, suffrage, and how Socrates’ nagging wife did us all a solid. ‘Nuff said. 
True to Aching Hearts form, our intrepid hosts take a good look at the age old tradition of melodious “manhating”. Find out what some songs in the folk tradition have to say about lazy, drunk, cheatin’, tobaccospittin’ husbands and the women charged to put up with them. To top it all off, Kelly and Ryan perform a classic of this subgenre in which the narration wryly compares and contrasts the two sides of the matrimonial coin.
