We know life has changed forever because of the coronavirus outbreak. And that might be a good thing, if we never have to exchange awkward hugs and kisses with acquaintances again.

On Veronica Mars, the plot of "Clash of the Tritons" was full of holes, but we enjoyed watching Veronica's sleuthing skills. Next: "Lord of the Bling."

Thanks to the pandemic, the tables have turned: Instead of students pleading to be admitted to the colleges of their choice, universities are now scrambling for students. They have some ideas for incentives, but so do we.

On Speed-Round Sunday, we share a mini episode from our past for your weekend listening pleasure.
​
Catherine's noticing of crafting moms on a skate-team bus made her think of what she'd like to learn how to do, and ask the rest of us for our skill wishes. Music and maintenance are at the top of our list. What's on yours? ​

Teens in the Time of Coronavirus

4/23/2020

0 Comments

 
Opinions on what the current lockdown is doing to teens (especially high school seniors) range from "worst tragedy" to "will make a good story one day" to "don't throw them a pity party!" We share ours, which you won't be surprised to find are somewhere in the middle of that spectrum. Mentioned: "Why teens may never be the same after the pandemic" on CNN.

What We’re Watching: ZEP “Zoey’s Extraordinary Outburst” and Veronica Mars “Silence of the Lamb”

4/21/2020

0 Comments

 
On our entertainment-themed Round 2 this week, Zoey returns with an "Extraordinary Outburst." This translates into rather a lot of yelling, but there's also a lot of singing and dancing. We'll take that as a win. Next: "Zoey's Extraordinary Mother."

Veronica Mars took a turn for the serious this week, with a serial killer lurking in Neptune and Veronica uncovering a years-old switched-at-birth situation in "Silence of the Lamb." Next: "Clash of the Tritons."
