First we drew our new album art with chalk, then we played UNO (Nikki won the championship and Chris came in at a close second). And now we’re bringing our latest insight to you!

Welcome, Lifeguard Readers!

By David Owens on January 26th, 2009

LHS Warrior Mascot If you’re visiting our site after reading the latest issue of Liverpool High School’s newspaper The Lifeguard, thanks for stopping by! Nikki Papadopoulos, Chris Voll, and myself (David Owens) have been working on new episodes for Tada! since August, when we started the podcast. We talk about a lot of different things on the show, from crazy stuff (like Fergalicious) to more “serious” topics (like the pros/cons of a four day school week, or debating on whether homework really helps anyone). 

For more information about the show, check out the about page or read our bios (although note they might be slightly exaggerated!).

Want to listen? There are a few ways to do so. You can subscribe to us in iTunes and listen to us on the go with your iPod. Or, if you prefer listening online, you can listen to any episode right on the Website by going to its show notes (scroll down further on the page for the episodes and their show notes).

Interested in being on or listening to  our upcoming live episode? Head to the live show section of the site to learn more.

We want to produce episodes that are interesting to you. If you have any ideas for episodes, topics, or segments, or want to give us comments or critique, feel free to e-mail us.

Thanks again to Josh Peelman for writing the article for The Lifeguard, and to Liverpool High School for being supportive of its students and their interests!
