I've released two episodes this week. One is called what the adults should be watching and this is the other one. In this episode titled what the kids should be watching, I line you up with some of Remi and Rocco Radke's favorite things that they are currently watching or just finished watching. Of which there are many. This idea came from one of my viewers who watches my two precious knuckleheads everyday on their Facebook Live show called Reminade. It comes on Monday through Friday at 3 p.m. Central Time. For some odd reason, t...2020-03-2612 minStream(H)erShows Adults Should Be WatchingI'm going to say something here. I know sometimes you guys think I'm extra and really over the top. That's the last thing I want to be right now. I don't want to be extremely dramatic or sound braggadocious, but I cannot think of a better time for this podcast to exist on this Earth. I really hope that doesn't sound pretentious, but thank God for me and the forethought I had to deliver a life-saving podcast to you and yours during a Pandemic. Normally on Stream(H)er, I deliver a candid review of something I'm w...2020-03-2612 min
Ordinary People. Ordinary Things. with Melissa RadkeThis Sucks...There is going to be a very good chance that you think you know what I'm going to say on this podcast, but you don't. I can promise you that, because up until about 12 hours ago, I didn't even know what I was going to be saying on this podcast. I actually had an interview scheduled this week, but aren't we living in a time when we never know what's coming? This podcast wasn't in the cards for me either, so please keep listening until the end. David Radke will be joining me on today's show. In...2020-03-2400 minStream(H)erOzarkSometimes we forget to watch something. Everyone tells us about it, and we hear over and over how good it is. We honestly just plain forget, until we need something new to watch, because we're stuck inside the house like dummies. Then we start scrolling through and notice the one that we haven't watched. We watch it. Then one or two episodes in we start wondering why the crap are we just now watching this. That's the story behind this week's show. I'm late to it. I'm late to most everything in my life, so get over i...2020-03-1905 minStream(H)erA Fall From GraceListen to me Stream(H)ers, these are perilous times we are living in. It's one thing not to be able to buy a loaf of carbs at the grocery store. It's one thing to have to wipe yourself with Kleenex, because Kleenex aren't cheap. It's another thing entirely when Tom Hanks and Idris Elba get the coronavirus. I suppose COVID-19 is no different than us. You don't see it infecting Steve Buscemi. I'll bet Corey Feldman is at home as healthy as you please. But it's coming and taking down the good men and the handsome men. 2020-03-1906 minOrdinary People. Ordinary Things. with Melissa RadkeD-I-V-O-R-C-EI'm excited about today, because my guest is ordinary. She is ordinary, the topic is ordinary, and you all know how I feel about ordinary. We talk about a mundane event that lots of people go through, but she is handling it in extraordinary ways. I haven't done a podcast on this subject, yet it's so prevalent. I'm talking about divorce. Last fall, I met Kelly Mathews, and I thought she was so kind and so beautiful, but her story was painful. It was the story of a loss of a relationship and the loss of a...2020-03-1800 minStream(H)erHunters"Living well is not the best revenge. You know what the best revenge is? Revenge." This is a quote from this week’s show. It’s something else. It's a lot to talk about. It's a lot to watch. In fact, David Radke is here with me again (note he won't be a regular guest), because he watched this show with me and has some thoughts to share. Some loved this show, and some hated it. This show is bloody, gruesome, and historical fiction and nonfiction all rolled into one. It's a show that, at its core, asks...2020-03-1208 minStream(H)erSpenser ConfidentialHere are a few things that I'm an expert on TV, hair, carbs, movies, parenting, how to murder your husband and get away with it, mom jeans, pop culture, and bacon. I could keep going because the list is long. Here are the things my husband is an expert on creating a budget on Excel, filling a car up with gas, and Mark Wahlberg movies. The list is short. I'm not bragging when I tell you, I'm embarrassed by it. Let's just say, we know who will be invited to the most parties. David Radke is straight-laced a...2020-03-1211 minOrdinary People. Ordinary Things. with Melissa RadkeDream LifeOver the next two weeks, we will be talking to women who were suddenly faced with a decision. Maybe the decision came after years of being at a dead-end job, and they simply had had enough. Maybe, it came after a divorce. We will be talking to these women who found themselves having to make a choice about what will be next. What will they do? Will they live? Will they die? Will they get stuck? Will they continue waking up every day putting one foot in front of the other? There are some really powerful and relatable stories...2020-03-1000 minOrdinary People.

What if there is something amazing that you missed? What if there is the best movie ever and you never heard anyone talking about it? I’m not going to let that happen. Today's show is about a movie that may just be buried down at the bottom of your queue. This show is about an unknown movie called Britney Runs a Marathon.

I've created a new segment that I will be doing once in a while. It's called Oldies But Goodies. OBG is for shows that are offered on streaming services but came out before we even knew what streaming services were. These are old shows that we once again get to enjoy. These are old movies that we have long forgotten about. The other day, I came across the movie Some Kind of Wonderful. I instantly remembered how that movie made me feel. I first realized I needed an Oldies But Goodies segment...2020-02-2708 minStream(H)erHoney BoyToday's movie is different. It's not something I would normally watch, but here I am about to review the crap out of it. Here's why. It was a weird strange coincidence. A couple of weeks ago, David and I went out of the country with a couple of friends. One of them was obsessed with the actor who stars in this movie. I kept hearing this actor's name over and over, all week long. After the trip, I came home and plopped on the couch and turned on one of my streaming services. What did I see...2020-02-2711 minOrdinary People. Ordinary Things. with Melissa RadkeNurse Katherine Answers Your QuestionsShe's back. I hope you all are happy. It does something to my psyche and my confidence level when I hear "could you have her on more often" or " tell Katherine to get her own podcast" after having Katherine Diggs on the show. Now that's hurtful, America. But I get why you want her on here. Katherine was a guest on season 1, season 2, and now she's here for season 3. If you enjoy the show today, go back and listen to Katherine on season 1 and season 2 . Those are really great episodes. Katherine is a nurse practitioner who worked...2020-02-2500 minStream(H)erThe StrangerLast week, I posted something online about Outlander and how watching it made me want to pluck my eyeballs out. The public was up in arms. They came after me with pitchforks. I had no idea how many of you actually watch Outlander without a gun pointed to your head forcing you to do so. I put this online, and a sweet woman commented that she too hated Outlander. Then she added a show that I would like. Little did she know, I had already watched it. I had already formed opinions about it. I am here t...2020-02-2010 minStream(H)erTroop ZeroI reviewed Servant which is about a child that dies and then comes back as a doll. The show was scary and creepy, and I raved about it. Then I reviewed the new Disney Plus original movie Timmy Failure. I also stated that I'd rather shoot myself in the foot then watch that again. I don't want to become that cynical family movie hating reviewer. I don't want my reviews to be known as not family friendly. I have kids. I know how hard it is to find something where we can all sit down and watch together. 2020-02-2007 minStream(H)erThe Morning ShowI was told not to watch it. It was boring, overproduced, and not even a good storyline. I watched it anyway. Why do we do this? Why do we hear what people are saying, and think that we still need to find out for ourselves? Why don't we just take their advice? Because what if they're wrong? What if you watch it anyway and discover one of the best TV shows you've seen all year? That's what happened to me when I watched the Morning Show. This was Apple TV's first launched series. It was the first...2020-02-2009 minStream(H)erTimmy Failure: Mistakes Were MadeHey, it's your cool Aunt Melissa asking you to gather around. I watched something so that I can bring it to you, the families. Props to me, because this wasn't pleasant. I'm not happy about it. This week, I did something for the kids and for the mom and dads who just want to lay on the couch and turn something on for their kids. This week, I watched Timmy Failure: Mistakes Were Made. This week, I'm coming at you from the streaming service of Disney Plus. We have Disney Plus.

I'm interupting our season on teens, social media and sex to rerelease an episode that came out around Christmas time with my friend Billie Jean Johnson. This was a powerful episode. I heard from so many of you that this episode moved you, challenged you, and made you think that you might want something more or different from your life. Billie Jean was facing one of the hardest challenges of her life, and she lost. At least, here on Earth. On Thursday February 13th, Billie Jean took her...2020-02-1800 minStream(H)erFleabagOh let's talk about it. You've heard about it. You've read about it. You know that numerous awards have been given to it, but have you watched it? I don't know why, but my gut tells me no. Critics are watching it. I have a feeling James Corden watched it. I know that Hollywood was watching it, but were we watching it? Are stay-at-home moms, bank tellers, and Margie down the road watching it? I'm just not sure. It's gained so much notoriety and won so many awards and yet no one in my circle is talking a...2020-02-1307 minStream(H)erServantBoy have I got a show for you. I have told exactly four people to watch the show because I wanted other reactions before I did this actual podcast episode. Honestly, this show is very different. It's most certainly not everyone's cup of tea. I can tell you. The reviews from these people are so varied and so mixed. One is absolutely addicted. One wants to kill me for bringing it to their attention. One hated it and won't ever watch it again. The last one texts me about the show every time a new episode comes o...2020-02-1311 minStream(H)erMarriage StoryThis is my first movie review. There are so many choices out there that I just picked one. I was interested in this movie when it was first released, and I watched it the day of the release on TV. In the middle of watching this movie, David came in and said that we got the domain for Stream(H)er, and the podcast was going to be a reality. That's when I decided that this is the movie that I'm going to do. If you don't like my choice or have another movie you would like m...2020-02-1312 minOrdinary People. Ordinary Things. with Melissa RadkeUnclutteredA few months ago I got a book in the mail titled Uncluttered. Imagine that frozen moment in time, when I was holding this book while standing in my kitchen surrounded by, you guessed it, clutter! In spite of the stuff that creates clutter, today's podcast isn't about removing physical clutter. It's about removing noise, stress, and over commitments. This show is for anyone who wakes up from a nap and says, "I wish I could do that again." It's for people who buy books and find them later dusty and unread. It's for those who meet G...2020-01-2100 minOrdinary People. Ordinary Things. with Melissa RadkeThe Ruthless Elimination of HurryI was sent a copy of The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by author John Mark Comer. This book and topic were so wonderful and so needed in my life, that I found myself a bit nervous to interview John on this show. He turned out to be as smart, kind, well-spoken, and humble as his book. He's done his research, and he's lived what he writes about. You'll enjoy every moment of this wonderful interview. John lives, works, and writes in the urban core of Portland, Oregon, with his wife, Tammy, and their three children, Jude, Moses, and Sunday. 2020-01-1400 minOrdinary People. Ordinary Things. with Melissa RadkeStart in the Home I've had several guests come on the show, and they all want to talk about decluttering. Some want to declutter our schedules and some want to declutter our kitchen cabinets, but they all say to declutter our lives is to declutter our souls. Today's guest is knowledgeable, funny, charming, and she is an expert at getting rid of clutter. I know I’ll learn a thing or two from her and so will you.

Ordinary Things. with Melissa RadkeThis ChristmasI am sitting down with my friend Billie Jean Johnson on this very special Christmas, because any Christmas we are lucky enough to have is special. Even more so for some of us. Billie Jean is funny, sarcastic, and loud. She has a smile that spreads all the way across her face. She’s the queen of laughing at her own jokes, and she thinks she’s the funniest person in the room. The first time we met, I attended a party she was hosting and nothing was home cooked. She's been married to the love of her...2019-12-1700 minOrdinary People. Ordinary Things. with Melissa RadkeBlue ChristmasHello everyone! It's the holidays. Are you feeling it yet? I remember when I was working outside the home, and I felt like I just couldn't get Christmas right. My time was limited. My funds were limited. And Christmas Eve or the day before would be just like a blur. I hated that feeling. Eventually, I was able to leave that job. Even though I loved it, and start working for myself. It was from home, and I thought that now I can do Christmas right. I thought I would conquer Christmas and be able to rest a...2019-12-1000 minOrdinary People. Ordinary Things. with Melissa RadkeThrough The FireThis episode is one that I recorded a few months ago and wasn't going to air until 2020, but this episode has been weighing on my mind. I think that was because this episode needs to be played now. It's the holiday season, but your not going to hear any mention of the holidays, but what you will hear is a powerful story and a delightful interview. And for whatever reason, that I can't explain, somebody is supposed to hear this podcast now. Today’s guest is LeAnne Sheddan Pyzer who describes herself as a pastors wife, mom, gra...2019-12-0400 minOrdinary People.

Ordinary Things. with Melissa RadkeAfter the Show: The Radkes - Driving Me CrazyThis week's episode of the Radke's entitled Driving Me Crazy is simply about the things we hide. I really did let my license expire, and I hid it from David Radke for over a year. Why? Because I knew he would do what he did and get all Law and Order on me. So, I had to put it off as long as I did. Sometimes, I may also hide beauty products from David Radke. We are getting older, but men don't get it.
