Shipping Room Podcast

Inspired by Taylor Swift's newest album, Folklore, we've seen SO many Twitter threads this week taking TSwift's lyrics and putting them to GIF's of people's favorite 'ships.  Which made us think, "What song lyrics inspire us to think about OUR favorite ships?"  We're also lamenting the lack of Latinx artists being nominated for Emmys, celebrating Dustin Milligan's birthday, and talking about what it takes to be asked to leave a Starbucks.

Tamar and Christine were joined by Samantha Martin (Frolic Media!) to talk about epic romances in books and how they differ once they're adapted for the screen! Was it always Ron & Hermione, or did Fred have a shot? Was Liam Hemsworth the reason we loved Gale over Peeta? Is Peter Kavinsky the modern-day Pacey Witter? We're talking about all of that and more!

It's simply the best! Schitt's Creek became a phenomenon because of it's special and unique way of telling love stories that were 100% made from love. Tamar and Christine are so excited to sit down and give Schitt's Creek the discussion it so deserves! We're talking about David & Patrick, Alexis & Ted, Stevie, why Johnny and Moira are #relationshipgoals, why it's so hard to love Roland, and more! This is a fun discussion you don't want to miss!

Love is love is love is love!  Because Tamar and Christine love to celebrate love, they're talking about their favorite new LGBTQ+ ships and, of course, paying homage to their favorite 'old school' ships as well!  We're also reading some great Top 10 Lists, explaining the ghost child in last week's episode, and sharing the news about our BRAND NEW monthly newsletter!  As always, the conversation never ends here!

The casts and crews of our favorite shows are getting ready to return to work, after a long hiatus... ...and while it's great that we're going to get brand new episodes of television, under very controlled conditions (according to a 37 page document released by the DGA and SAG Unions,) Tamar and Christine cannot help but to ask the biggest question: is this going to change shipping? What will television couples look like if they ditch the makeout sessions for masks? Should we expect an increase of slow-burn romances? How many longing stares and needless breakups can we take before we explode as a result of sexual frustration?  T & C also tackle the topic of whether or not shows should just add COVID to their canon, why we still want them to come back despite the restrictions, and read Top 10 lists from outside of the US!

Tamar & Christine are back, with a brand new home as a part of the Frolic Podcast Network!  Hear the formal announcement, what it means for YOU, and celebrate with us as we start the next phase of The Shipping Room! Stick around for a discussion about how we evolve as people -- and how we evolve as 'shippers. How have our Top 10 Lists (the STAPLE of The Shipping Room!) evolved as we, and the world around us, have changed? What did some of our listeners say about their own evolution? Listen as we break it down! The Shipping Room is part of the Frolic Podcast Network. You can find more outstanding podcasts to subscribe to at Frolic.media/podcasts! 

"It's not like this with other people..." Tamar and Christine are joined by Janelle McCammack (Sipping Sisters Podcast!) to break down the Hulu/BBC adaptation of the novel Normal People by Sally Rooney! Everyone is talking about Marianne and Connell (and Connell's chain?) and we knew that we needed to, as well! Listen as we share all of our burning thoughts; the good, the bad, and the gut-wrenching.  Don't forget that the conversation never stops here! Find the show on social media: @ShippingRoomPod, or e-mail us shippingroompod@gmail.com!  We can't wait to continue this chat with you! 

Surprise! This week Tamar pops into the Shipping Room to chat with Roswell, New Mexico's Michael Vlamis. Coming off of a big shipper week last week, we got a chance to chat about all things Michael Guerin, including that scene.  Plus hear Michael's audition experience for Roswell, his first experience as a shipper himself, and get the info on other projects he's got going on! Want even more Vlamis? Be sure to head over to michaelvlamis.com and sign up for the newsletter! 

Thank you so much to everyone who hopped on to our Instagram Live to chat about the third season of Elite. We had the BEST time. For anyone who missed it, here's the audio of the episode. Stay tuned for info on our next one! 

The wait is over! Tamar and Christine (joined by Shadia Omer of Talk Nerdy with Us!) are finally breaking down Elite Season 2 - the 'ships, the stories, the 'ships, the things that made you shake your head, and OF COURSE... the 'ships! Where were you when you realized you were 'shipping Carla and Samuel? #Omander, guys. #Omander. Rebeka and Nano! And OF COURSE Nadia and Guzman. (And of course we're working through our feelings about Lu & Valerio!) What are we hoping to see in Season 3? Will Christian dance on Carla's grave? What's wrong with Polo? Can Nadia and Lu survive their scandals? We're talking about all of this and more!  Don't forget - the conversation NEVER stops with us! Find us on social media @shippingroompod to keep it going! We can't wait to talk more about this incredibly special show!    

With revivals (and reboots!) coming more and more frequently Tamar and Christine decided to talk about the pros and cons of revivals. Some are winners (Will & Grace, Murphy Brown) while others leave fans divided (Veronica Mars, Gilmore Girls) and then there's the business of reboots - which is a whole different situation. What does it all mean for us, as 'shippers? Do we really want to take a chance on a 'ship we love being destroyed in a revival? And do we want a revival at all if the destruction of stories and characters we love is a real possibility?  We're discussing that and more in this chat about revivals - the good, the bad, and the cash grab. As always, find us on social media, @shippingroompod and share your thoughts! We're waiting to hear from you and continue this discussion!

Tamar and Christine are back at it reading YOUR Top 10 lists! They're also bringing back their classic game - "Take a drink when they name your 'ship!" Who'll be more love drunk by the end of the night? Will it be Tamar for Logan and Veronica or Christine for Zoe & Wade? (Hint: It's both. It's definitely both.) We also just want to take a second to say THANK YOU for sharing these lists with us - we genuinely love reading them and seeing what a wonderfully diverse community of 'shippers listen to this podcast.  To date, we've read nearly 250 of these Top 10 lists from all over the world, and we want to keep reading them so KEEP SENDING THEM IN! Even if takes some time, we promise it's worth the wait to share your list with the world! Find us on social media @shippingroompod and share your thoughts!

This week we are reflecting on the tragic death of Luke Perry. We share some of our favorite classic Dylan McKay moments as well as some of our favorite things we've learned about him from other entertainers in the days since his death. We're also sharing some thoughts and memories from our listeners, who each have their own special connection to Luke Perry and share what he meant to them.  Find us on social media @shippingroompod after you listen, and let's all have a group hug as we mourn the loss of such a talented man who touched so many lives with his performances.   

*** SPOILER ALERT: This episode contains spoilers about the show YOU. If you have not watched yet but plan to, you may want to wait to listen to this episode so that major plot points are not spoiled for you! *** Tamar and Christine are back to business and talking about YOU, streaming now on Netflix! What is it about Joe that we find so fascinating? Is it possible to romantically 'ship a murderer with anyone? Did humanizing Joe make you like him more or less? Is anyone else fascinated by Peach? Is Karen Minty going to make a comeback?  Most importantly, why do we get carded to buy Sudafed, but Paco was able to walk into a hardware store to buy just about anything? We're also talking a little about how much we love Schitt's Creek, why they shouldn't create a love triangle for CoNic on The Resident, and we give you a little glimpse of what's coming soon!

Goodness, it feels good to say we're BACK. We missed you all so much. So, so, so much.  Before we resume our regularly scheduled episodes (and there is a LOT to chat about, as you all know!) we wanted to check-in and get a few quick thoughts out there! We briefly check in on our thoughts about that spectacular and heartbreaking The Good Place finale and also do some quick squealing about David and Patrick. (You've got a few weeks to catch up on Schitt's Creek before we deep dive into it, so get to it!) There also some chatter about YOU (which we'll get into further in our next episode) as well as Tamar's hot take on Roswell, NM.  Does Christine want to even get into Crazy Ex-Girlfriend yet? Why hasn't John Stamos aged a day? How big is your David and Patrick smile?  Let's keep these thoughts going on social media! Find us @shippingroompod everywhere!  It's great to be back.

A few weeks back, Tamar was on a trip with her husband when someone told them to visit a flagship store - and a light bulb went off! This week, we're talking about Flag 'Ships. What 'ships are on showcase in your memory from different time periods in your life? What do those 'ships have to do with how you viewed 'shipping as you got older? Did those 'ships shape our futures? We're also talking about how Devon Sawa wrecked our collective childhood, whether or not David Silver was a good guy, the days when televisions had antennas, Our House, a possible deep dive into California Dreams and more! The conversation doesn't end here...find us on social media @shippingroompod and keep the chat going! 

Tamar and Christine recorded on Monday night and agreed that no matter what the outcome of the US elections was on November 6, there'd be a new episode of The Shipping Room for our wonderful listeners on Wednesday morning! This week is really all about catching up - what have we been watching? What 'ships are we loving? What have we lost touch with? (And Christine is eating avocados and doing yoga now.) Tamar gives a moving review of Elite, Christine tells you why Murphy Brown is like a warm fall hoodie, and more.  Come find us on social media @shippingroompod after you listen, and chat us up! We're waiting to hear from you!
