Band Wives Episode 93: Minisode Post-Tour Catch Up

The Wives are back in town and (surprise!) struggling to focus on a singular topic this week. From rating high maintenance pet options to fully embracing main character energy, there’s something for everyone in this episode. Or no one at all. Listen up, weigh in, and see you soon with brand new guests on the horizon and hopefully another manifested European tour ASAP!

It's back-to-school time, but in this episode (and our hearts) it's still summer. This week, the Wives are chatting with the most magical, colorful girlie, Disney baby and animal advocate Grace Rountree. From her journey out of the classroom and into the shelter to the struggle of getting senior animals adopted, Grace is sharing her tips on navigating theme parks, the sweetness of the Osbournes, and why it's never too late for a second act. Also, everyone is sad we can't bring a pair of shoes for every day on tour and more importantly SOMEONE ADOPT WOOFSTOCK! Check out his profile, Houston, and SHARE!

Pour yourself a glass of sauvignon blanc and put your feet up because Misha and Chonny are back this week with a triple Taurus in the house! The Wives welcome vivacious entrepreneur Syma Espiritu to the show for a great chat about her experiences in the wine industry, marketing, tour life and her latest venture with the Women Who Rock organization in Pittsburgh, focusing on desperately needed research in women's health. Also, why it's important to bring good vibes, good vino and say goodbye to toxic relationships. In other news, summer is summering and the Wives have the unhinged mama energy to prove it. Get tickets for the Women Who Rock Annual Benefit in Pittsburgh with headliner Jessica Simpson HERE.

This week continues the Wives deep dive chat with Tenny Kilmore. From travel and routines to interactions on the road, tune in for Part Two!

This week we sit down with Tenny Kilmore to discuss bi-coastal living, real estate ventures, cross country moves and life as a serial hobbyist. From fishing, gardening, hot yoga, skiing to skin-care—take your pick! Misha and Chondra break down the non-problem of Megan Sussex’s lifestyle reality show and, as ever, allergies are still a problem. When three Genussmenschen walk into a podcast, you can bet it’s going to go over time…so enjoy this one in two parts!

Bem-vindo! This week the Wives are taking it back to summer days with a moment-to-moment breakdown of their creative retreat in Lisbon. From the food (yay to Pastel de Nata, nay to excessive amounts of COD!) to vinho verde at multiple wineries (special shout out to besties at Quinta de Chocapalha!) inspired workshops, new friends, loads of local history, and late night walking adventures that lead you straight into the arms of your favorite Portuguese author. Also quantum mysticism, Misha's 900 new hobbies and the big reveal of our next creative retreat to....drumroll...ICELAND IN FEBRUARY 2026. Sign up for our BW retreats mailing list for news and access to early booking!

Watch out—the Wives are LIVE this week! Join Misha and Chonny for a chat live from Book Club Bar in New York City with brilliantly provocative artist and teacher of all kinds, Jane LeCroy. From the sheer embarrassment of being a poet to why kids make the best art, fighting the passions of our parents to embracing all the horrifying parts of one’s self, scrutinizing famous monuments to appreciating famous braids—this one is a wild ride you definitely don’t want to miss. (Special thanks to Book Club Bar for hosting us and Claudio Sanchez for manning the Mackie gear! Stop by for signed copies of books if you’re in NYC!)

Spring is springing and the Wives are getting together to chat about the three C's: Coffee, Claritin and Chonny's life schedule throughout Coheed's record release week for The Father of Make Believe. Also, all the beautiful brain types in the world, vibration plates + the dawning era of no longer giving a f*&k.

Today the Wives are welcoming their first Season 4 guest, the incredibly thoughtful (and dare we say new bestie?!) Nicole Newsted, for a dive into controversial and spicy topics including the rise of AI, her inspiration as a painter, DIY pursuits, Martha Stewart hot takes, Substack science and all things rabbit. As always, Chonny and Misha are coming in hot with a dab of Marxism and more verbal side quests than anyone asked for.
