Between Good Podcasts

What's a pop culture icon of childhood? Got to be the treehouse. We've had a treehouse before, but this one offered the opportunity to expand to really fun proportions. Kailey & Mark describe it and offer up some ideas if you're planning a treehouse of your own. I have to admit, even as an adult I've really enjoyed it--glad it has a few places well suited to a grown up or two also. #treehouse

Happy 2018! We've made it somewhat of a tradition to recap the past year on the show. It's one of my original goals in doing this podcast. I've really enjoyed doing these shows every year and they get more fun with each one. How was you 2017? Listen in and maybe we've had some shared experiences. #2017

It truly is a great age in which we live where there is Star Wars content being produced regularly. Also, Star Wars being released at the beginning of the kids' Christmas break is pretty awesome for a busy family. Listen in for a spoiler-free review of the latest from a galaxy far, far away. #StarWars #LastJedi

For those of you who have ridden the Pirates ride at Disney, this is one of my favorite lines being played as you pass through the first curtain of fog at the beginning of the ride. Listen in as Mark & Luke (huge Pirates movie fan) review the last of Captain Jack Sparrow's adventures. Also, Gore Verbinski was the name I was trying to remember--not that he's involved in this film, but he laid the foundation for this series of movies. #PiratesoftheCarrribean #Disney #DeadMenTellNoTales

BGP is celebrating three years of podcasting! It's been a fun journey. Thanks for sticking with us. We take a look back at the last year. Also, a preview of things to come in the next few episodes.

I am Groot. We had watched this movie once before, but had to go back and watch it once again to give it a solid review. As compensation for the delay on this episode, we added in a brief discussion at the end of the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I am Groot. #Marvel

Syzygy is a real word, and fun to say. It's the straight line configuration of 3 celestial bodies in a gravitational system. Just like the eclipse last week! Tune in to hear how to earn a cub scout badge for eclipse viewing. Also a very detailed explanation of how to build an eclipse viewer from our guest host, Luke. #eclipse

What is a choco taco? You'll have to listen to find out. But I will say they are amazing! #ChocoTaco

Summertime! What's a great way to spend a summer day? At the waterpark! Kailey is back a a co-host. She and Mark review a recent trip to a waterpark and all the fun associated with. Also tune in for a few tips from recent experience at the park. Also some time travel... #Waterslides #BigKahuna

Summer's here! Jacob took part in the fine summer tradition of summer camp. Cabins, bonfires, swimming, and maybe even some hijinks along the way. Check out his review of the Elks-sponsored camp. #Elks

The BGP family once again took part in a race over Memorial Day weekend. In this episode, Kailey tells all about the course, her gear, hydration, and even awards at the end. Listen in to find out all the tips for running a race with 5-6 year olds (and maybe a few for grown-ups, too). #running

Growing up in the Midwest, I loved playing cards. One of the card games that I enjoyed playing with my brother is Skip-Bo. I really haven't found many others that play it, though. It made me really happy that when I introduced the game to my boys, that they really enjoyed it. Of course, we had to do a podcast about it. #Skip-Bo

We just saw the movie and already I'm reading stuff about the cast for the sequel. I guess that's how it goes when so much of the story is already out there, now we're just fleshing out the Harry Potter universe a little. Mark & Jacob review the film. No spoilers here, but the beasts can be found in the valise. #FantasticBeasts #HarryPotter

Time for BGP's annual ski trip! This time they go back to Copper Mountain again. This year was a big year for one of the cohosts. Listen in to hear how it went for Mark & Kailey! #skiing #CopperMountain

3-2-1-Blastoff! It's been over 10 years since Mark's been to Cape Canaveral. He & Luke recap a recent family trip there including rockets, shuttles, capsules and even a little camping adventure at the end. #KennedySpaceCenter #NASA

Kailey's been waiting a whole year for this one. The dance or the episode? Both really. In her mind it's all part of the fun to go to the dance and then podcast about it afterward. I'm sure this will be another one of her favorites.

The answer is 1.77 and some change, not bad for an off-the-cuff estimate. What is the question, well, you'll just have to listen to find out. Also, Mark talks with Jacob & Luke about their most recent Pinewood Derby and a little about previous years. Get some tips from the pros because somebody got 1st place this year!

It's our 100th episode spectacular. Mark brings in all the guest hosts to each discuss their favorite episode. Don't worry--it's not a clip show!

That's a random combination of words. Much less so when most of your phrases include the words Pirate and Lego while your brother's include the word Dinosaur. That's how Luke's world is. Check out this episode to find out the story of Lego Pirate Dinosaur. #Lego #Pirate #Dinosaur

Another episode in BGP's How-To series. Mark & his Dad (and Jacob) install a FiTech throttle body electronic fuel injection in Mark's 1983 Camaro. The results have been very good both in performance and reliability. As an added benefit it enhanced the understanding of a number of aspects of the Camaro. Listen in to find out! #FiTech #Camaro #EFI #TBI
