Manic Rambling Spiral (MRS) is a podcast about single parenting, but it's not a parenting podcast. Rather, MRS is a podcast about living life - having a life, a career, and a self - in a set...
We’re back. Sort of. Changes are imminent, and we think you'll pee your pants. It's been a while so please excuse the awkward as we settle i...
In addition to everything else happening as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, kids around the world are suddenly at home for school. But de...
We didn't plan for this to be about COVID-19, but most of the world didn't plan for anything that's happening right now. As everyone scrambl...
Our first episode landed on St. Patrick's day 2016 and, four years later, we're still kicking. Admittedly, we've been kicking a lot less lat...

We talk about more than Bumble (you know you want an update), but John’s text to Heather is probably the best description for this episode....
It finally happened. John joined the online dating scene and it’s as confusing and empty as he’s always imagined. It has, however, made him...
An update on Coco (a pupdate?), some commentary on Halloween, and a discussion on how much our pets are worth. What's that? We're heartless...
We moved right from Elizabethan collars into pop punk- and it wasn’t a smooth transition. That’s John’s fault. But somehow we still managed...
Sure, we took a week off due to both of us being sick, but we didn’t actually get a week off. There were endoscopies to be had, sheets to be...
It’s been a busy week without any travel or big changes. How so? Well, Heather’s foot is still an issue, her GI tract is making waves, and J...
Somehow this episode came full circle. From boots and bus stops to pets and school routines, we cover a lot and bookend the whole thing with...
Another week, another couple dozen lessons in stress management. But we’re still taking our own advice and letting things slide. Invasive do...
Weird title for a show called "Manic Rambling Spiral," but here we are. Heather ditched her FitBit and her Apple Watch and, as a result, a w...
Socialized medicine doesn’t disappoint, especially when the phenomenon of “hot doctor” clearly exists in all countries. But John’s doctor? N...
John and Heather are both facing some child-free time, and it’s going to be glorious. We bask in that notion, discuss friendships as an adul...

We got the band back together. Well, the band never really broke up, but Heather and John are in the same (hotel) room recording MRS for the...
A topic! We have a topic! It’s music, and we almost don’t stray from it. This week we’re talking about some of the music we enjoy, the beaut...

You’ve kept us up and running for over three years (3 YEARS!), and now it’s time for our little podcast to grow and change. How? We’re figur...
If there are two takeaways from this week, they are as follows: Heather sleeps naked, John does not. Does this information have anything to...
What do book tours and bandaids have in common? A lot. It's sort of like the relationship between diarrhea and a week of stressful schedule...
Heather hits the road next week for her book tour, so of course we talked about misplaced socks, pantyhose, and toxic plastics that make the...
At least 75% of this episode is about dogs and puppies and the horrors of pet ownership because John is a dog person now. Why? Honestly, he...
Renovations, broken boilers, puppies, and John's resistance to help even when it's generously offered. It's all loosely related. And somehow...
It’s Spring Break. We could’ve easily talked about the woes of that for an hour. However, we still managed to discuss university selection,...
Wandering tangents seem to be the way of things around here lately. This week it's James Blake, the joy of celebrity interaction, Marlo's pu...
We're ringing in the time change in style. As always. Moderate injury, serious fever, and a healthy dose of feeling all together a little of...
Why do people looking their absolute best have to be the ones who see you at your absolute worst? We don't have an answer, but that's just w...
Heather has a newsletter and some GI business to attend to. John has a newsletter and perfectly functioning bowels. Some things just aren’t...
Yeah, we spiraled again, but we also found ourselves looking back at how we were raised and how those experiences affect our parenting today...
How did we get from A to B? Your guess is as good as ours. But it's not our fault that audiobooks, Mormon mission trips, forgetful teens, th...
After John's extended fanboy moment about Heather's book (side note: It's incredible and you want to read it and probably give a copy to eve...
It's winter and the weather is awful and life keeps plowing forward. So, naturally, in the thick of this mess John is sort of possibly dabbl...
We’re talking about insurance again. And mental health. And the absurdity of dealing with medical needs in the US. Why? Because it needs to...
Bullying has always been a problem, but technology is creating new platforms and increasingly removed ways to hate and harm. Spurred by a ja...
Another year... and you know what? We're excited for it (even John). Sure, we're getting older and keeping blood pressure journals, but that...
OH MY GOD. Are we whining about the holidays? No, not really. Just marveling at the passage of time and the value of hiring movers while cat...
It's official. John is a homeowner! And his relationship status? That's permanently established via legal documents. Super awesome. Regardle...
What happened this week? What day is it? Just kidding, we never really know. Between high-school dances, holiday gifts, packing, and ironing...
The holidays are a crazy time that brings many together and makes others feel extremely alone. So yes, it’s sort of another episode about lo...
Heather's back from Rome, John's buying a home, and the holidays are here. Moral of the story: No rest for the weary or the wicked or the pa...
We recorded this on Election Day too early to talk about polls, so instead we decided to focus on monster trucks, contact lenses, and some o...
The month has changed, the season continues to change and, if you live in the US, you can help make change on November 6. Vote for something...
We’re thrilled to have KJ Dell’Antonia join the spiral to talk to us about changing perspectives, realistic expectations, and her her new bo...
