On Speed-Round Sunday, we share a mini episode from our past for your weekend listening pleasure.
We count up all our household computers — the living, the dead, the well-used, the idle, the laptops, the desktops, the iPads, and the ones that come into our lives for only a school year.
On Second-Listen Saturday, we share some fun moments from past episodes for your weekend listening pleasure.
We have a checkered history when it comes to habit-forming. Does it count if we're good at creating the same good habits over and over again? Want more? Listen to the rest of this November 2017 episode.
On this week’s Roundabout Roundup, we share warm and wonderful entertainment in several genres. Catherine recommends Kevin Wilson's book Nothing to See Here. Nicole is finally getting into the TV show Schitt's Creek. And Terri has one song to make you smile ("Made for You" by Jake Owen) and one to make you tear up ("Maggie's Song" by Chris Stapleton).

On Speed-Round Sunday, we share a mini episode from our past for your weekend listening pleasure.
On lizards in shoes, lake flies, ticks, and that moment you realize the bug you thought you captured to take outside is now probably crawling on you somewhere. Eek!
On Second-Listen Saturday, we share some fun moments from past episodes for your weekend listening pleasure.
Normal Rockwell, we ain't: We talk about the pressure — external and internal — to have a portrait-worthy holiday and our attempts to bring expectations down to snapshot size. Want more? Listen to the rest of this November 2017 episode. |
