PaaV Podcast #23
Direct Download: paav23.mp3
Well weirdos, this is it. At least for Otalia and Guiding Light. This is the last time we’ll make fun of Frank Cooper (this is not the last time we’ll make fun of Frank). The last time we’ll mention how hot Olivia Spencer is (this is not the last time we’ll mention how hot Olivia Spencer is). The last time we’ll….you get the idea. We’ve had a week to mull over the Guiding Light finale, join us for the wrap up podcast.
Don’t worry darlings, we’ll be continuing this podcast. The focus will change, obviously, but we promise the same faux smart snarkery that you’ve grown to know and love.
Mushy note from Liz (cause I don’t do the outro): Thank you so much for your support and the time you give me and Dani each week. Y’all have been incredible when you didnt even know it. I have learned so much from you guys, received so many amazing emails, and made so many awesome friends that I will carry with me in my heart place and my blackberry. We have had the pleasure of talking with a very diverse group of women, about everything from soap plot lines to shark attacks, “soap” and self confidence. We are very blessed. I am humbled by what we’ve all built here, and I cannot wait to see what is next for the whole PaaV crew. See you soon!! XOXO
Anyway, let’s get to the good stuff!

PaaV Podcast #21

#21 – we’re legal! Or something. There are several things of import this week: Olivia’s fantastic wardrobe, Frank and the Coopers being reasonable, and most importantly, the end of this ridiculous Otalia separation. Warning: we will be discussing hot and sexy…headbutts. Under 17, listen at your own risk!
We’ve decided to dedicate our Friday pod to Doris Wolfe, so hold onto your Doris/Blis/whatever comments until then. Cool? Cool.

Crystal Chappell keeps it real
Direct Download: paavCC.mp3
Basically, we’re lucky sluts. Crystal Chappell was kind enough to take time out of her busy schedule of being awesome to talk with us. Once we stopped swallowing our tongues, we had a lot of fun with her. Gush, gush, gush…she’s great. We all know this. So why don’t you listen and find out what she had to say about cheese, which lines she definitely ad-libbed on GL, and what Olympic sport she’d like to compete in.
- Hilter is pissed about the lack of proper making outage.
- If you arent already following Crystal on Twitter, wtf are you doing here?
- Venice the Series
- We love us some unofficial fan forums! Venice the series fan forum.
PaaV Podcast #20
Direct Download: paav20.mp3
The plus side is this podcast was not recorded in the hallway of a hotel.
On the other hand, this week is weird because frankly, we’re feeling weird about the show. We could have extended our collective WTF beyond Otalia into the rest of Springfield (Mallet’s story, for example), but we felt like we’d end up in straitjackets if we did. The dearth of physical intimacy, layered and cerebral writing, and logical editing is slowly sapping our will to snark.
Also, Liz was completely wrong about there being a kiss by our 20th podcast, so feel free to take her to task in the comments (but not too harshly, because then I’ll have to kick your ass). (Don’t worry, she blames herself)

Orlagh Cassidy steals the show (as usual)
Direct Download: paavoc.mp3
What can we say? We love Orlagh Cassidy. She was kind enough talk to us about the revelation that Doris was a lesbian, the fun of playing a total bitch, why Doris cares that Olivia and Natalia end up together, and who would be her ideal mate for Doris.
If you’d like to hear her dulcet tones reading you a good story, check out her audio book performances.
And guess who will be joining twitter soon? Until then, show her some comment love, peeps!
Just for reference, Who is Doris Wolfe?
PaaV: Tello talks Outfest, the Meaning of Life, etc.
Direct Download: tello3.mp3
Our Tello BFFs joined us to discuss their adventures at Outfest. We always ask the important questions like: were there any pants removed? and how is Nicole’s interview sobriety going? Of course, no interview would be complete without a round of ‘Would You Rather?’ Nicole cheats, while Christin admirably tries to uphold the unspoken rules of the game.
Check out: Elizabeth Keener, Jamie Lauren, Michelle Wolff, Traci Moslinko, and Nancylee Myatt
Have a great weekend, everyone. Next week: DIMPLES RETURNS! Spanking ensues (or so we hope).
PaaV Podcast #17
Direct Download: paav17.mp3
Warning: this podcast is a hot mess. We’re going to use the “No Otalia” discombobulation defense and also say that we love you enough not to leave you hanging on Monday mornings, even when GL lets us down.
PaaV listener and hottie author Mari SanGiovanni was kind enough to send us copies of her book, “Greetings From Jamaica, Wish You Were Queer.” So while we actually enjoyed our reprieve from watching Olivia alcoholically self-destruct, we spent our time wisely – reading. What’s the verdict? Lesbians CAN have happy endings! You heard it here first. Thanks, Mari.
Buy the book. As of now Amazon says it has four in stock. Y’all better get on that! (added later- clearly Amazon is on crack because for a while today it said they were sold out and now they have two in stock.)

Otalia Trivia: Liz vs. Dani
Direct Download: paavtrivia.mp3
We turned over the keys to the trivia batmobile to Lana and Porter, guest Alex Trebek-ing for us.
Who would emerge victoriously from a throwdown battle of obscure Otalia trivia, detail slut Liz, or quote master Dani? Will the outcome of this battle drive a wedge through the podcast partners?
Thanks to Lana and Porter and all the people who emailed their hardest questions – we have an answer. TGIF, ya’ll!
PaaV + Keener, bitch!
Direct Download: paavek.mp3
Wait, we got Elizabeth Keener to talk to us? It may have involved some top secret favors to Tello Films. We can’t divulge. Who cares, really. She totally did – and she answered fan questions submitted to @tellofilms and @pancakesvalium on twitter. Thanks to everyone who submitted!
So how did that whole “my lover Cindy” thing on the L word come about? What was her worst job? And which would she rather do, lick peanut butter off a homeless man’s foot, or eat a live goldfish?
The answers await you!
P.S. – I feel like we’re going to get attacked by homeless men who resent the negative representation of their feet. If any homeless men are reading this, I’d like you to know that question was ALL Liz.
