Episode 260: The Guardians are joined by Crystal from Casual Confections. She even brought us delicious treats!
Started in August 2016, the Casual Confections was born out of Crystal sharing recipes she was baking on social media. Instead of sharing recipes or discussing techniques in individual comments, a baking blog allows her to share this information to a wider audience.
Currently, the recipes on Casual Confections are experiments. These are recipes found on other websites and blogs or shared by other bakers. The intent of experimenting with other people’s recipes is to learn new techniques and try new desserts. Some experiments do involve combining several existing recipes. Not all of the experiments work out whether due to the recipe itself or due to baker error. Casual Confections captures the successes and failures of these adventures to show that everything takes practice, bakes don’t have to be flawless, and, above all, baking is fun no matter the outcome.
In early 2019, Casual Confections officially became a custom online bakery

Episode 258: Jenn from GeekyCutesy joins the Guardians for a bawdy talk about jewelry.
GeekyCutesy has a quirky approach to the traditional jewelry you see every day. They love creating simple, classic looking jewelry and accessories that are innocuous at first glance, but really show your unique self. Whether you love all things geek, all things cute, or a mix of both, you’ll find something here! Snark is fairly prevalent, as well!

Two classically trained musicians combining ambient solo bass, brutal distortion, electronica, and 18th century opera to tell a story of the macabre.

Part lover’s caress, part pugilist’s fist, songs of THE EXTRAORDINARY CONTRAPTIONS are sonic space-time adventures. This patent-medicine man, time-traveler, gentleman explorer, and madman advance the steampunk rock movement with 2012 album The Time Traveler’s Constant, employing danceable prog rock and Victorian aesthetics in genre-bending, aggressive-waltzing stories of steam and strife.
