On Speed-Round Sunday, we share a mini episode from our past for your weekend listening pleasure.

Earthquakes. Fires. Tornadoes. Floods. Hurricanes. Hurricane panics. We've seen 'em all, and in some cases bought the insurance. What is Mother Nature up to in your part of the world?

On Second-Listen Saturday, we share some fun moments from past episodes for your weekend listening pleasure.

A Washington Post article about the science of why your child is such an entitled brat got us talking about the ways our kids have come to expect a certain level of rewards, merchandise, and entertainment, and what we can do to get them to cut that out. (Mentioned: An earlier discussion of fancy underwear.)

On this week’s Roundabout Roundup, Catherine is cautiously optimistic about air frying (in this Breville Smart Oven), and Terri is enjoying lemon cookie mini bars and iced cinnamon puffs from WW (formerly WeightWatchers). Continuing our food-and-drink theme, Nicole recommends Bolthouse smoothies for sneaky vegetable consumption.

Nicole had to deliver a birthday celebration to her away-at-college daughter, which got us obsessing about how we celebrate special days for special people in our lives, whether they are near or far.

Yes, we know kids should be involved in activities, but does it have to be so hard to make time for practices/games/meetings/events, and transport everyone to and fro? (And the parking. Oh, the parking!)

On our entertainment-themed Round 2 this week, we're charging toward the finish line with both of our shows. Our heroes are suddenly ballooning into the afterlife on The Good Place, and on The West Wing, we dive deeply and swoonily into the post-White House lives and careers of many of our faves.

Next week: "Patty" on The Good Place and "Tomorrow" on The West Wing. 

When we read about the Dutch concept of niksen, or basically doing nothing, we had to talk about whether we can actually single-task, let alone zero-task.

On Speed-Round Sunday, we share a mini episode from our past for your weekend listening pleasure.

​Hobbies like sewing, knitting, and crocheting theoretically have as their end product something somebody can wear. For today's question, we wanted to see if any of us are quite that industrious. Maybe our moms were, and maybe our daughters, but us? Listen and see.

On this week’s Roundabout Roundup, Nicole loves the beautiful pictures of her home country at Images of Canada on Instagram. Catherine is shouting out Wisconsin Public Television's shout-out to her daughter's skating team. And Terri finally found a good vitamin source at Healthwarehouse.com.

Thanks as always to Jon Morin for our fun in-and-out music, which you hear on every episode.
