Your road map to this week's entertainment-themed podcast: 00:37 Trophy Wife: We come to the end of this one-season wonder, wistfully. It's quirky and sweet and you should watch it (for free on the ABC website). 09:40 The West Wing: Speaking of wistful, season 5's "Han" includes a lot of sad piano music, troubled CJ, and mournful Bartlet. 20:39 Challenge Round: Burn Notice: Terri continued Catherine's USA Network education (see also Suits, White Collar, and Psych) with the 2007 pilot of this enjoyable procedural about a spy cut loose by his handlers. For next week, Catherine challenged Terri (and her husband) to watch the movie The Martian. We'll also start watching this season of So You Think You Can Dance, and continue with The West Wing (season 5, episode 4, "Constituency of One").

00:30 Greek Salad Truths: Catherine has just returned from Greece, and can confirm: There should be no lettuce in your "Greek" salad. 07:47 What I Did on My Summer Vacation: It's no surprise that our kids' experiences are a lot less free-range than our own were. But we did find at least one common thread. 18:30 Speed Round: Summer Birthdays: One thing Terri and Catherine did during their school holidays was attempt to celebrate their birthdays. It wasn't easy, but those born under other astrological signs can have a tough time too. 25:37 Roundabout Roundup: Little Women on PBS; The Band's Visit cast album; compression bags for packing. 31:06 Shameless Self-Promotion: "The Serious Value of Silly Sounds"; Special Needs News on Twitter; weekly inclusive education chats on Twitter (Thursdays at 9 p.m. Eastern; use the hashtag #iechat).
