My Ultimate Year is a show & reading club dedicated to covering the entire Marvel Ultimate Universe of comic books! This My Marvelous Year spinoff reads every single comic book in the Ultimate Universe, with Zack and Dave (Comic Book Herald) discussing in depth. Enjoy the comics!
Is Friends better than HIMYM? Should Meredith Grey narrate every single tv show? Would Phil Dunphy and Hanna Marin be in the same house at Hogwarts? Who would you rather be stuck on a road trip with: Jack Shepard or Mohinder Surresh? What as the craziest thing that happened on Making a Murderer? Is Veronica Mars the most feminist teen show ever? Is anyone better than Coach Taylor? We discuss these and other "moo" points every week right here!
"Making a Mania: The Steven Avery Saga and Why We're Obsessed," is a podcast from USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin exploring the phenomenon of the Netflix series "Making a Murderer" and the cases of Steven Avery and Brendan Dassey.
Style and Grace is a conversation with friends! Hosts Courtney and Shea will bring light and positivity around everyday life topics, including marriage and spirituality, food and entertainment, fitness and parenting. There will be fun interviews and awards show red carpet snark, too. All of this will be done honestly, with style and grace.
