Description

Counter Programming with Shira & Arielle is your new favorite coronavirus/COVID-19 distraction podcast. Join this duo as they embark on a quest to bring the world counter programming of all kinds. They'll focus on countertops (namely, they're doing a series on marble, granite, and quartz), time counters, calorie counters, counters of other kinds... Each episode will be a mix of comedy and fun facts that no one knew they ever needed. Shira and Arielle have been friends for 5 years. They met in Jackson, Mississippi during their first job post-college at the Institute of Southern Jewish Life (yes, there are Jews in Mississippi). They lived 4 doors from one another. Now that they're on opposite sides of the country and experiencing intense anxiety due to the constant barrage of bad news surrounding coronavirus, they decided they needed a distraction. This distraction comes in the form of a podcast. Shira and Arielle are bringing you... Counter Programming. Tune in for stories, useless (read v. important) facts, and so much more. Episodes will be released weekly and will be available wherever you get your podcasts.Follow us on Instagram: @counterprogrammingpodFollow Shira on Twitter: @shishimoskFollow Arielle on Twitter: @ariellethisandthatYou can email us at counterprogrammingshiraarielle@gmail.com

Welcome to the penultimate episode of Counter Programming season 2. In this episode, we speak with Shira's cousin and recent bat mitzvah girl, Remy.We get into all things Jewish "counter," including: why bnei mitzvahs take place at age 13, the counting of the omer, and more. We also discuss what it was like to have a bat mitzvah at the height of the pandemic.  Credit:Daniel Tureck - soundCaio Slikta - logoJason Shaw - Tennessee Hayride (theme music)Sponsors:PodcornEmail us: counterprogrammingshiraarielle@gmail.comFind us on IG: @counterprogrammingpod
This week, it's all about Sophie Countess of Wessex, AKA the wife of the youngest son of Queen Elizabeth. Why is she a countess and not an earl, like her husband, Prince Edward Earl of Wessex?We've got you.

Today we're diving into the question that was on everyone's mind after watching Bridgerton...What the heck is a Viscount? The good news for us here at Counter Programming is that Bridgerton was recently back in the news. Unfortunately for everyone else, the news was that Regé-Jean Page will not be in the upcoming season (even though Shonda Rhimes said this was planned from the start). In order to fully understand what a viscount is, we explore the British Peerage system which is pretty confusing.

Tally Counters

Tally Counters

2021-04-2124:262

This week, more counters! Tally counters. Welcome to Counter Programming with Shira & Arielle. Each week, we bring you information on anything with the word "count" or "counter" in its title. We started as a pandemic distraction cast. And we will continue until we're both fully vaccinated and incubated. Definition:A tally counter is usually cased in metal and is cylindrical in shape. Part of the circle is flattened out and contains a window of plastic or glass. Inside the counter are a number of rings with the numbers from 0 to 9 in descending order going clockwise. Most counters have four such rings, allowing the user to count up to 9999. A metal ring may be attached to aid in holding the counter, and usually half the ring is bent to allow it to fold flush with the counter when not in use.- WikipediaCredits:Daniel Tureck - soundCaio Slikta - logoJason Shaw - Tennessee Hayride (theme music)Email us: counterprogrammingshiraarielle@gmail.comFind us on IG: @counterprogrammingpod
It's THE FINAL COUNTDOWN. Today, we're headed to Europe. Each week on Counter Programming, we bring you stories and info-tainment on any topic with the word "count" or "counter" in its name. You're catching us in our series on musical counters. Last week was all about the Counting Crows. Today, Europe's hit song "The Final Countdown."We also sit down to chat with Eric Johnson, the founder of BumbleCast, a podcast production company, and host of the podcast Follow Friday.

Are you part of the beehive? Beyhive?...Are you a fan of Beyoncé is what we're asking...?Welcome to our musical "count"/"counter" series. First up, our breakdown of Beyoncé's 2011 hit "Countdown." Check out the music video here.In this episode, we go through the history of Beyoncé's career, stopping to highlight her big wins. We focus this episode, of course, on "Countdown."

It's the countertop series! We're learning about recycled glass today.Definition:Recycled glass countertops are made from glass (sometimes from curbside recycling programs) mixed with resin or concrete. They can be made to look like natural stone (the homogenous look) OR they can have a glassy, tiled look (terrazzo style). Fun facts:- The recycled glass countertop was invented in 1996 by Don McPherson, who was at the time a student at UC Berkeley. - In 2006, investors acquired McPherson's company (Counter Productions) and renamed it Vetrazzo.- Vetrazzo is still the leading manufacturer of recycled glass countertops.Sources:- Countertop Speciality- VetrazzoSponsors:- PodCorn is the easiest way to monetize your podcast.

It's the countertop series! Last week was all about quartz.Today, LAMINATE!Definition:Laminate is a combination of plastic and paper—interestingly, though, generally not recycled—and sometimes board. These materials are formed into a thin layer and colored or manufactured with naturalistic or textured designs. This layer is then laminated to particleboard or chip board. (Bobvila).Fun facts:- Laminate countertops are only a bit over 100 years old. - Laminate as a product was invented by engineers from the Westinghouse company.- The bottom layers of a laminate counter are made of brown craft paper -- literally the paper grocery bags!Sources:- https://www.countertopspecialty.com/countertop-laminate.html- https://www.thespruce.com/laminate-countertops-want-love-1822075- https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/magazine/laminate-counters-look-a-lot-better-than-they-did-in-the-80s-can-they-make-a-comeback/2019/04/03/38a37bda-3f94-11e9-9361-301ffb5bd5e6_story.htmlSponsors:- Romer Skin Care (use code "COUNTER" at checkout for 15% off your order)Credits:Daniel Tureck - soundCaio Slikta - logoJason Shaw - Tennessee Hayride (theme music)Email us: counterprogrammingshiraarielle@gmail.comFind us on IG: @counterprogrammingpod
Welcome to season 2, Counties! We're kicking off this season with a series on countertops. We'll hit quartz today, then we're onto laminate, recycled glass, and more.Today, QUARTZ!Definition:Quartz is a hard, crystalline mineral composed of silicon and oxygen atoms. Quartz is the second most abundant mineral in Earth's continental crust, behind feldspar. Quartz is also called engineered stone (according to countertop guides). (WIKIPEDIA). Fun facts:- Quartz countertops are only 95% quartz. The other 5% is a polymer resin.- On the Mohs scale of hardness, quartz is a 7 out of 10- Quartz countertops don't need to be resealed- The Italian Company Breton SPA  figured out how to press polymer resins into natural quartz to make it a viable kitchen countertop in the 1960s. To this day, Breton is a leading supplier of these types of materials.Sources:- University of Minnesota Mineral Pages - The Spruce- MSI SurfacesSponsors:- Romer Skin Care (use code "COUNTER" at checkout for 15% off your order)Credits:Daniel Tureck - soundCaio Slikta - logoJason Shaw - Tennessee Hayride (theme music)Email us: counterprogrammingshiraarielle@gmail.comFind us on IG: @counterprogrammingpod

Hello Counties! It's been a minute but we're back with a feed drop!We were recently interviewed by the co-founders of SquadCast.fm, Zach Moreno and Rock Felder, on their podcast, Between Two Mics: The Remote Recording Podcast. They asked us to join them because when we wrapped season 2 of our podcast, Arielle posted this epic tweet thread about podcast marketing. In it, Arielle writes about how in just 14 months, with no network backing, no ad budget, and a niche topic, we were able to reach 100,000 downloads for the podcast. In this interview, we explain how we did it. We also discuss how Counter Programming came to be, we talk about our friendship, and lots more. We hope you enjoy it. We've missed ya, Counties!Sneak peek of what we discuss:Clear and concise messaging AKA over-communicationStrategic promo & social swapsPitching AND catchingSporadic guestingIn-app placementThis episode is longer than usual but it's worth it!ExtrasHelen O'Hara's Women Vs.

The "trivia" about granite structures was more interesting than the actual countertop segment, unfortunately. The actual informative segment felt rushed, and there were so many topics involved with granite countertops that just... didn't get discussed. At all. That was a bit of a letdown, all things considered.
