Catching Up (aka We're Back!)
October 03, 2022 04:45 - 38 minutes - 52.9 MBSorry we've been gone so long! We figured everyone was having fun with their summers and didn't want to hear us, but we were wrong! Several people hit us up asking us to get back on the podcasting train, so we figured why not. Contrary to our usual style, we went at this episode with no agenda. We just wanted to shoot the sh*t and do what we do best: rant about anything and everything. We're so glad to be back with y'all! Available wherever you get your podcasts! Give us a follow!

Teaching

Behave Yourself (aka Manners)
February 19, 2022 22:57 - 34 minutes - 47.9 MBOne thing the hosts of Excuse Me have learned throughout their academic lives were impeccable manners. Well, maybe. But we can all agree having good manners is generally a positive attribute. Can you tell the difference between an entree and a salad fork?

New Year, Same Trash
January 17, 2022 02:37 - 34 minutes - 47.4 MBFor better or for worse, it's finally 2022. It's a new year, and we couldn't pass up the chance to talk about everyone's favorite new year activity: new year's resolutions. Sorry for the lateness in posting this episode. Your hosts were pretending to be friends and were on vacay (which we chat about). Do you subscribe to new year, new me? Well this is the episode for you. Do you hate those people that subscribe to new year, new me? Then shockingly this is also the episode for you. Available...
The Holidayz

Time Management
September 27, 2021 17:11 - 33 minutes - 46.5 MBSometimes people are 5 minutes early to obligations. Sometimes people are 5 minutes late. Wherever you land on that spectrum, you definitely have feelings on Time Management. What are the odds that the podcast about time management is a week late?

Writing
August 10, 2021 20:14 - 36 minutes - 49.5 MBIf there's one thing we're good at, it's being opinionated when pen meets paper (or finger meets keyboard). You don't have to be the next top romantic novelist to want to write! That's why we decided this week is all about writing: the process, the inspiration, and just doing it so you actually have something to work with.

Arts Admin
July 12, 2021 20:12 - 32 minutes - 45.2 MBSomething near and dear to our hearts: our day jobs... This episode is all about the quagmire that is arts administration.
