Explore every episode of the podcast The Morning Show Thing with Brittlestar and Shannon

Zellers is back, wedding rings are rescued from a landfill, and drones prove they’re more than just BBQ cover shredders. Brittlestar & Shannon dive into the weird, the heartwarming, and the nostalgic—plus a look at all-terrain wheelchairs that make the outdoors more accessible. News, nonsense, and nice things, all in one episode.

Stewart recounts a very polite Canadian brush with showbiz at a TIFF opening party—briefly “not on the list,” loudly networking in a room built for whispers, caviar on a tiny donut, and a confident approach to a man who absolutely was… not Andy Kim. Cameos include Melissa Grello, Lauren Ash, and Peroni Zero. Shannon provides footwear realism and social-battery fact-checking.
