Welcome to The Lounge! A collection of stories, songs and conversations all intuitively designed to help you groove with the rhythms of the season. The Theme of our April Lounge is Get Over It. Not in the flippant way you might have heard on the playground, but as an exhortation to see objects in your path as hurdles to get over rather than roadblocks that halt your progress. Matt and Carol Almos relate a story of adventure where what goes down must come up. Double Batch Daddy share a new tune with us that invites us to connect with the hum that comes alive this time of year. Keythe and Ann pair an Oscar winning film with a delicious and healthy entree.

We welcome Val Vigoda & Ryan O'Connell to the Lounge with their take on one of the greatest songs about moving on that’s ever been written. And Keythe talks about letting sh*t go– in some cases quite literally.
This month’s theme is Start Smart. Matt Almos shares the story of starting his first job and how it took him Back to the Future. Double Batch Daddy perform a new tune. Keythe talks with The Pink Lady about the Art of Reinvention. We share our favorite films of 2021 and pair them with a recipe designed to upgrade your home theatre experience in a fundamental way.
