About Counter Programming with Shira & Arielle

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

   1.5 minutes of us stroking our own egos | possible new season teaser

   Here's a short teaser we recorded VERY on-the-spot. Shira had recently re-listened to our Great Saunter episode, sent it to Arielle. We then discussed it and realized we're rather proud of it (and the other episodes we published long ago). So hey, we hit the record button and this is the result. Are we actually funny? Who knows! Do we care? Not really. If you enjoy it, that's a great added bonus. Love ya, Counties!

   Counter Programming On The Go: We Went to a Counting Crows Concert

   In 2021, we published an episode on Counting Crows. (https://pod.link/1506238332/episode/20dadeb79382d0293ef2ed51ae14cb8b) We promised you back then, dear listeners, that if Counting Crows ever went on tour again, we'd make it our BUSINESS to get there to see them. Well, it finally happened. In July 2023, Counter Programming hosts Shira Moskowitz and Arielle Nissenblatt headed to Jones Beach to see Counting Crows live. In this episode, we share our experience at the show. Listen for: Shira forgetting her wallet Arielle not understanding how concerts work A review of Huntington's best pizza joint Our favorite concert attendees and why they rocked A snippet of "Mr. Jones" live So much more ___ Yes, it's been a while since we've published an episode! Thanks for listening to this one.
