On this week’s Roundabout Roundup: Nicole purchased a Netvue security camera to spy on her pets when she's away from home. Catherine was Instagram-influenced (by Sherry from Young House Love) to try Folex Instant Carpet Spot Remover. Terri's enjoying the Wall Street Journal's crossword puzzles--and says you should read the comments.
Thanks as always to Jon Morin for our fun in-and-out music, which you hear on every episode.

This year more than ever, we have to shop online for Christmas gifts. One of us is almost done, one is just getting started, and one just wants to call the whole thing off. Mentioned: Stocking Stuffers in a Pandemic at Swistle.com; Cost Plus World Market; the Pop Culture Happy Hour newsletter.
Usually on Wednesdays we complain, but today we're actually not complaining about the way Covid is causing so many holiday season events to be changed or cancelled. We're happy to skip out on mall Santas, office parties, and so much more. Mentioned: Online "Handel's Messiah" sing-along.
On The Voice, the top 9 were revealed (last Tuesday) and performed (Monday night), and just like that, the finale is almost here! We're still rooting for John Holiday but there's not a single vocalist in this group that we'd vote against. Next: The finals.
On Baby Ballroom, season 2 brought some fresh new adorableness, but we miss the old adorableness. Please come back, Jack and Emily and Arjun and Isobel and Max and Olivia! Next: Season 2, episodes 3 and 4.
After watching the coverage of Daphne, the koala that climbed into a family's Christmas tree, we talked about what our families might do (or have done!) to make the news. You never know when that car key collection or copy of the local newspaper might come in handy. Mentioned: Our exotic pets episode (Catherine changed her mind about koalas) and the #whynotsynchro campaign.
On Speed-Round Sunday, we share a mini episode from our past for your weekend listening pleasure.
Whether it's computers, sneakers, iced tea, ketchup chips, or coffee creamers, we're true to our faves.
On Second-Listen Saturday, we share some fun moments from past episodes for your weekend listening pleasure.
Is there a way to help kids and young adults learn how to gracefully merge onto the conversation highway? Want more? Listen to the rest of this December 2017 episode.
On this week’s Roundabout Roundup, Terri enjoyed the Taylor Swift documentary, Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions on Disney+. Nicole treated herself to an iPad with the Apple Pencil, and is making good use of it. And Catherine circled back around to Disney with the crowd-sourced Ratatouille musical on TikTok. See a YouTube summary or read about it at Playbill (yes, the real Playbill).

We've said it before and we'll say it again: The pandemic has us craving alone time like never before. We'd like to work alone, travel alone, eat alone; it all sounds good! Mentioned: Eating Alone and Loving It at Jezebel.
For this week's rant, we take issue with a Pandemic Pollyanna who can't just enjoy a good complaint--she has to give everything a brighter side. Not us! Mentioned: Our April episode on pandemic silver linings (true to form, we didn't find many).
