The Tiberius ShowThe Tiberius Show EP 332 Stasha BoydWhat exactly is an audio description and how did you find a job making them? What type of people need this service? Is this just needed for certain venues or all over the place? What is the best part about making audio descriptions for events and parks? Do you think audio descriptions will allow blind people to remotely access events all over the world? How is creating live audio descriptions different from creating the descriptions for a tour at a location? All these questions and so much more will be answered by Founder of The Audio Description Initiative Stasha Boyd. Y...

The Point of the MatterLessons Learned: It’s been a heck of a year, y'allHoly cow, ladies. 2021 is coming to a close and (lordy be!) have we been on a learning curve of epic proportions this past year. Not just starting this podcast, but about life, work, friendship, family, mental health, boundaries, communication and ALL the things. In this, our last episode of 2021, we’re looking back at what we got right, and maybe a little of what we might have gotten wrong, so we can look forward to what’s next. So, grab a spiked hot chocolate or a sparkling, bubbly spritzer and join us as we glance in t...

The Point of the MatterHoliday Etiquette: It ain't that freakin' hardHave you ever sat at a 4-way stop with folks who can't figure out who goes next? Have you played a game with someone who doesn't, or worse, won't learn the rules? Have you witnessed the chaos and rage that happens when people didn't know, or refuse to follow, the simple rules of standing in line to check out at a store or enter a concert venue? Maddening madness. Anarchy. Mayhem. All of which is avoided when everyone knows the rules and follows them.And that's all etiquette is, folks. A simple, agreed-upon set of...

The Point of the MatterGratitude: The fast track to a great lifeYou can’t scroll for half a hot second and not see some pithy plea to practice gratitude. Usually, this type of thing makes us a bit nuts but this is perhaps the only exception to that rule. Gratitude IS the bomb-diggity. It is the shizzle. The juice. And it's because it works. Grateful to, grateful for, grateful because, grateful in spite of, whatever you choose, it doesn’t matter. Because as soon as you think it, say it or write it, your life—including your health and your relationships—instantly gets better. Whether it...

The Point of the MatterHard Conversations: With your integrity, sanity (and family) intactIf you thought Halloween’s episode about fear was scary, you aren’t ready for the Holidays. Grandma/Mimi/Nana in the kitchen: Well, if YOU prefer a DRY turkey, fine! Brother/Sister/Cousin at the supper table: Yeah, remember that time you [insert embarrassing made-up bullshit here]. Crazy Uncle Joe watching the game/parade: pro/anti-mask rant on repeat. Loopy Aunt Lucy over coffee and dessert: you push your kids too hard/not enough. Spouse/Kids on the drive home: I am NOT doing that again next year. Navigating irritating, awkward, unwanted conversations—whether at the h...

The Point of the MatterEmotional Manipulation: Breadcrumbing, negging, ghosting, etc.Ladies, there’s a lot of bullsh*t in this world and a lot of that bullsh*t has some new names. Whatever it’s called, it’s emotionally manipulative AND it’s effin’ bullsh*t. More importantly, being on the receiving end of this BS can make you question your sanity, your judgement, and your relationships. In this episode, we want to know what the hell is the difference between “ghosting” and “caspering”? Who the hell came up with “negging” and what are they trying to achieve? Where the hell are these supposed “breadcrumbs” supposed to lead? But the most i...

The Point of the MatterFear: More than a mind killerHalloween is coming up this weekend and everyone is getting excited about getting scared! Woo hoo! That’s the fun type of chest-pounding, horror-movie watching, jump-out-of-your-skin terror that we can TOTALLY get behind. What we can’t (and absolutely WON’T) get behind is the never-ending fearmongering that many women—and girls—live with every single day. Is “That’s so scary!” part of your daily vocabulary? Do you say, “I’m so afraid of [something that is happening out in the world] right now,” when you aren’t actually in a life-threatening situation at that moment? Has fear of the unknown s...

The Point of the MatterMajor Moments: Small events; huge impactsSometimes the tiniest, most random fork in the road changes the entire direction of your life. A disrupted mother/daughter day out (Stasha), an ex’s demand (Cheryl), a bus stop fist fight (both). Looking back in our 50s, and knowing how it's turned out so far, we can pinpoint the exact moment our lives changed…for the better. Why is this important? Because learning how to look back can be as valuable as knowing how to look forward. Because when you know what you’re looking for, you can see who you are, how you got here, an...

The Point of the MatterFriendship: Twice the laughs; half the tearsThere are two things we KNOW to be true: 1) it’s hard to make and keep friends as you get older and 2) it’s nearly impossible to be happy without friends. From your local hang-out peeps to your shared-interest [book/bike/kayak/fitness/whatevs] club to your bury-the-body-bestie, knowing who is—as well as what makes—a “good” friend is a life skill every woman should have, especially women in midlife. How do you find them? How do you keep them? Is there value in “superficial” friendships? Why does it hurt so much when a friend disappoints...

The Point of the MatterGaslighting: It isn’t you; it's never you. It's them.Sometimes recent events bring up a subject that grabs us by the heart and we need to talk about it. Gaslighting—a specific type of psychological abuse, usually directed at women in order to control them—is one of those topics. What is it? What are the signs? What can you do if someone is gaslighting you? What should you do if you suspect a friend is being mentally or emotionally abused? From intimate relationships to family dynamics to the workplace, this often-invisible abuse ruins lives. We firmly believe we have an obligation to speak up a...

The Point of the MatterSetbacks: Getting up when life gets you downLike everything else, handling life like a boss is a skill that can be cultivated or that can wither on the vine. First step to being a setback badass? Learn the difference between an inconvenience, a setback, a crisis, and a catastrophe. (Hint: it has nothing to do with how you feel.) Step two: ask the right questions in the right order. Step three, four, and beyond? Plan, act, repeat. So, grab a frosty glass of something cool, kick back, and get ready to get up and get on with it. Stasha’s Mocktail:

The Point of the MatterLife Hacks: Making life easier one tip at a timeIf there’s anything we love it’s something that makes life a little easier. And while there’s certainly isn’t a shortage of life hack advice on the internetz, both good and WTF, our standing rule remains: a good hack works for YOU. This week, we share some of our tried-and-true make-life-easy tips (Stasha is ALL about the baskets) as well as some ideas from around the web (Cheryl is ALL about saving money and time). We also talk about different levels of comfort, what works for one and not for the other, and the granddaddy of them all...

The Point of the MatterGoals: You’ve come a long way but you’re not there yetRemember when you were in your 20s or 30s? Lifetime goals were a lifetime away. Well guess what, WarriorQueens? You’re now hip deep in midlife (or later) and there are still things you want to do, to achieve, and to be in your 50s, 60s, 70s and beyond.Whatever comes next, there are two ways to get there: Sit around and see how it turns out OR get real about setting goals. 1) Assess where you are, 2) decide where you want to go, and 3) take SMART steps to get there.In this episode, over a Ci...

The Point of the MatterAdvice: When dumb ideas come hard & fastLadies, if we had a nickel for every bit of dumbass advice we’ve heard regarding what women in their 50s “need to do!” we could retire rich. Today. And you don’t have to look far. It’s everywhere. 10 THINGS YOU MUST DO NOW! 25 ACTIONS YOU MUST TAKE TODAY!! 50 WAYS TO KICK 50s ASS THIS YEAR!!! Holy exclamation points, Batwoman. This week we scoured the web looking for the worst-of-the-worst (Spend more time in bed! And no, they didn’t mean sex) in the form of well-intentioned (master crossword puzzles!) and way-off-the-mark (Smile more!) advice lists and lo and be...

The Point of the MatterValues: We never go against who we really areLots of folks claim lots of things about their values…while the rest of us sit over here with popcorn and see how the act. (We’re looking at you, pearl-clutching Family Values chick; and you too, Mr. Personal Responsibility dude.) But other people, often women in midlife, choose to take time and take stock; to re-examine and re-discover; and shape who they want to be in their next chapter. In this episode, Values, Stasha shares a full-proof way to check yourself, and identify, without a doubt, what your values REALLY are. Meanwhile, Cheryl gets real about what...

The Point of the MatterSociety: “You be you!” (No, not like that)Ever had a conversation that starts off on a normal track then veers off the highway, jumps the curb, skids across the ditch, blasts through the trees, then ends up on a totally different road careening towards a completely unknown destination? Yeah, this one’s like that. Society is more than shared beliefs and ideas. It’s the feeling you get when you feel like you have to keep your mouth shut around certain people. It’s the feeling in the pit of your stomach when you feel like you don’t fit in, or worse, like you’re be...

The Point of the MatterMen: Marvelous, maddening, magnificent manhoodMen! They’re everywhere, amiright?? Fathers, brothers, sons, friends, cousins, co-workers, partners, clients, customers, employers, employees. The list goes on and on. But most important for this conversation, men are much, much more than husbands or boyfriends. In this episode, we talk about the best (like our fathers), to the worst (they know who they are), how they got that way, and how they impact our lives. So, get comfy. Grab a cocktail or a mocktail. Then join us as we rock our way through the wonder and mystery of all things men. After a heck of a w...

The Point of the MatterDating: A BFD to your BFFWhat do two long-time married women know about dating in midlife? The answers will surprise you. Whether it’s supporting friends re-entering the dating world or being in it ourselves (What?! Listen to the episode!) there’s a lot of wisdom and experience that women know but sometimes need refreshed. So, whether you’re the dater, the wing-woman, the shoulder to cry on, or the hired gun when some douchenozzle needs an ass-kicking, grab a glass of something refreshing and settle in. We’re getting down with dating. Cheryl’s cocktail: Watermelon Sangria ...

The Point of the MatterGrit: Getting sh*t done when life ain’t funBreaking news! Sometimes life is hard and work isn’t fun. People who handle that fact like a boss have something called grit, the ability to gut it out in order to achieve a long-term goal. In this episode we get down and dirty on the importance of grit in our own lives and how women can cultivate more of it as we move into our fifties and beyond. So sit back, dig in, and drink up. We’re powering through what to do when the going gets tough. Cheryl’s drink: Aviation cocktail · ...

The Point of the MatterPet Peeves: Stop petting my peeves!You know what pets Cheryl’s peeves? Slow drivers in the fast lane or let’s get real, slow drivers in any lane. Know what drives Stasha nuts? Tailgaters, in any lane at any speed. When someone or something’s got you biting your tongue or yelling into the void, you’ve got two choices: let it out or let it go. Once again, we handle life’s irritations in our own ways, but always peddle to the metal, full speed ahead. Grab your drink (vodka, wine, water, whatevs) and join us for a heavy peeve petting session about the sh*t that...

The Point of the MatterFashion: A good look at looking goodHow we present ourselves in the world, or how we don’t, speaks volumes. Do you stay up on the latest trends out of Paris? (Cheryl) Or do you commit to a tried-and-true look that suits you regardless of what anyone else thinks? (Stasha) Do you feel confident giving fashion advice? (Cheryl) Or would you rather eat glass than offer an opinion on what another woman wears? (Stasha). One thing we agree on: if you rock it, wear it. Now kick off those heels and grab your favorite libation! We’re takin’ a good look at lookin’ good. Toni...

The Point of the MatterSuccess: What ya get when ya get what ya wantIf success is, as the dictionary defines it, achieving a desired goal or outcome, then the logical answer to “am I successful?” is what did you want and did you get it? In this episode we take a deep dive on the different ways women in their 50s measure success. Independence, boundaries, money, time, stability, peace just to name a few. So, grab a cocktail or a mocktail (we both stepped back from the booze this week) and get ready to take stock of the good life. (Stasha and Cheryl both decided to take night off from the...

The Point of the MatterBody Image: Same s#*t after all these years.From too thin (Cheryl) to too fat (Stasha), boobs too big or too small, stomach too round, booty too flat, all our lives women are told how we are supposed to look and worse, that we don’t look like we should. Holy hell. Now add in being in our 50s and the effects of life, children, marriage, and menopause and it can be a mental minefield just to get dressed and walk out the door. So, grab your favorite beverage and prop your pretty feet up (they look fine, we swear) while we go all in on how wo...

The Point of the MatterFood: Everybody's gotta eat, right?Saying food is a big part of life is like saying air is a big part of breathing. Socializing, family life, celebrating, satiating! And once again, our approach to all things food couldn’t be more different. Dinner party for eight (Stasha) or reservations at 8:00pm (Cheryl)? The joy of cooking (Stasha) or the kitchen is closed (Cheryl)? Food for health (Cheryl) or food for life (Stasha)? Either way, we agree everything goes better with a cocktail. So, kick back and relax. We’re diving deep into dining. Cheryl’s Cosmopolitan · 1 1/2 oz Vodka· ...

The Point of the MatterFinances: Money, money, money!When it comes to money—making it, spending it, managing it—we handle it like the badass boss-ladies we are. Even though we took different paths and had very different circumstances, our common sense money rules produced two financially secure and successful women. Cocktails in hand, we share what those rules are, how we learned them, and most importantly, why they work. So, grab a glass and settle in. Today’s episode is all about money, honey. Tonight's cocktails: Cheryl’s Mimosa · ¾ cup chilled champagne, prosecco, cava, or other sparkling wine· ¼...

The Point of the MatterRelationships: How they work and when they don’tAs women in our fifties, we’ve had a LOT of experience with relationships. Current (and former) spouses, friends old and new, how to make new ones, how to keep old ones, and when to cut ‘em loose and let ‘em go. It all boils down to the big three: trust, acceptance, and communication, as WE define those term. So, grab your go-to cocktail or experiment with something sassy! When it comes to the people we love, we’re all in on being all in. Cheryl’s go-to Vodka/Cranberry· 1 shot Raspberry Vodka· 1 sh...

The Point of the MatterFitness: Working out or just work?While our experiences and approaches to fitness couldn’t be more different, our bottom line is the same: the point of being fit, especially in your fifties, is to be able to do whatever you wanna do. From hard and heavy (Cheryl) to slow and steady (Stasha), from physical strength (Cheryl) to mental toughness (Stasha), we breakdown the hows and whys of working out, working hard, and working hard enough keep kicking ass. With a cocktail in one hand and maybe a dumbbell in the other, we get real about getting and staying fit. Stasha: Grapefruit Marga...

From deep psychic wounds to the cumulative effect of living in the world, unwanted thoughts and unpleasant emotions can kick anyone’s ass. That said, the trigger is the start, not the end of the story. So, grab a glass and get ready. We’re here to get real. Cheryl: Holiday at the Hive · ½ oz. Honey· ¾ oz. Hot water· 1 oz.

Pod HardOutland (1981)SPRING & SKÄRM #1!
Pod Hard springer vidare igenom actionfilmer med bra kubbande. Den här gången riktar Jonas Högberg & Anders Hultqvist blicken mot rymden, närmare bestämt Jupiters måne Io där Sean Connery-rullen Outland utspelar sig.
Filmen är regisserad av Pod Hard-favoriten Peter Hyams, men visar sig vara en trist historia. Connerys polis springer visserligen hyfsat snyggt igenom rymdstationen på jakt efter skurk, men spenderar övrig tid med att stirra på skärmar, spela Pong-squash och stasha shotguns.
Proffsiga lönnmördare är allt annat än proffsiga, Peter Boyd spelar golf p...
