Second-Listen Saturday: Rethinking College

5/21/2022

0 Comments

 
On Second-Listen Saturday, we share moments from past episodes for your weekend listening pleasure. This discussion is from March 2019.

We just talked about college decisions recently, but we had to revisit the topic after the Operation Varsity Blues scandal broke. Could it lead to more transparency in the admissions process? (Mentioned: Felicity Huffman on Sports Night.)

Roundabout Roundup: Taylor Farms Chopped Kits, Puffs Plus Lotion, and KIND Frozen Treat Bars

5/20/2022

0 Comments

 
On this week’s Roundabout Roundup, Nicole shocks us all by enjoying salad: Taylor Farms Chopped Kits. Catherine also suggests a tasty bite: KIND Frozen treat bars. And remember last week, when Catherine recommended Puffs the play? This week, Terri's shouting out the other Puffs (the kind you blow your nose in) for handling an allergy attack with tender loving care.

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

Scooting to a Street Near You

5/19/2022

0 Comments

 
Now that Bird scooters have arrived in Catherine's small town, we obsessed about other goods and services that we think should just appear when and where we need them, from pacifiers to vacuum cleaners to Starbucks coffee. Mentioned: Evo's car share service in Vancouver.

Senior Skip Day

5/18/2022

0 Comments

 
We complain (lightly) about this seasonal ritual, and discuss whether or not parents and schools should look the other way or take a stand. Mentioned: The Afterparty episode "High School," in which youthful indiscretions have long-lasting consequences.

What We’re Watching: Bridgerton “The Choice” and The Afterparty “Zoe”

5/17/2022

0 Comments

 
On this week's entertainment-themed Round 2: The queen has planned a lavish wedding for Edwina and Anthony, so there's no stopping them now, right? Wrong! Also wrong: The queen's spy who thinks he has identified Lady Whistledown. Next: "Harmony."

On The Afterparty, it's Zoe's turn to tell her story and she does so in an animated film starring Regular Zoe, Fun Zoe, Tiny Rage Zoe, and more. But we're still no closer to knowing who killed Xavier. Next: "Danner."

Working Parent Shame

0 Comments

 
A BBC article titled "The Parental Shame That Haunts Working Parents" got us talking about the shame we've experienced, whether it comes from community members, relatives, ourselves, or our quite ungrateful children.

Speed Round Sunday: Does Your Pet Have Any Funny Habits or Irrational Fears?

5/15/2022

0 Comments

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

We've talked about our dogs plenty on this podcast, so consider this listing of their fears and desires and coffee-stealing habits more as a review than a revelation.

Second-Listen Saturday: Kids and Rejection, College Acceptance Edition

5/14/2022

0 Comments

 
On Second-Listen Saturday, we share moments from past episodes for your weekend listening pleasure. This discussion is from March 2019.

We feel the need to complain about those who dare reject our kids (the nerve!). 'Tis the season for college decisions, and it's never easy to console a child who's been inexplicably turned down from one of her top-choice schools.

Roundabout Roundup: Puffs the Play, Fancii Desk Fan, and @thedad

5/13/2022

0 Comments

 
On this week’s Roundabout Roundup, Catherine shouts out Puffs, a funny play (not the brand of facial tissues). Catch it at a high school near you or watch a filmed version on Amazon Prime. Nicole's cooling off with her Fancii desk fan, and Terri's found a funny fellow to follow in Twitter: @thedad.

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

Unpopular Opinions

5/12/2022

0 Comments

 
We go out on a limb to obsess about some of the opinions we hold that aren't shared by others, sometimes including family members. But we're standing firm.
