2021 Favorites: Roundabout Roundup

12/31/2021

0 Comments

 
Happy holidays! This week, we are taking a look back at some 2021 episodes we loved. Today, our favorite Roundabout Roundup picks, originally from June 25 (robot vacuum), August 13 (summer dresses), and September 24 (bone-building foods).
​
Nicole upgraded her robot vacuum to a combo vac/mop (that unfortunately does not kill giant scary spiders). Catherine sang the praises of a Knox Rose summer dress from Target, plus offered a side recommendation for the John Michael Kohler Arts Center in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. And Much to Nicole's dismay, Terri tried sardines (to strengthen her bones) and described the experience in great detail. Plus, she learned that you can indeed scramble eggs in the microwave. 

Thanks as always to 
Jon Morin for our fun in-and-out music, which you hear on every episode. We'll be back Monday with brand-new episodes.

​

Terri's birthday was yesterday, and Catherine's is next week. But don't rely on these idea lists from New York magazine, Etsy, and Cosmo when you're shopping.

2021 Favorites: Who Are You Calling Cheugy?

Happy holidays! This week, we are taking a look back at some 2021 episodes we loved. This one originally dropped on May 26 (but the topic is back in the news now).
​
We wade into, and complain about, the debate over who, or what, is "cheugy." We like Instagram and Ugg boots but could care less about chevrons, decorative wooden signs, and Harry Potter merch (in fact one of us actively can't stand Harry Potter), so we might be safe!

2021 Favorites: CODA and Only Murders in the Building

12/28/2021

Happy holidays! This week, we are taking a look back at some 2021 episodes we loved. These originally dropped in August (CODA) and November (Only Murders in the Building).

The movie CODA (on AppleTV+) is a lovely look at a the ordinary life of a teenage girl, played by Emilia Jones, whose parents and brother happen to be deaf. It's predictable, yet complex and joyful. Mentioned: Pop Culture Happy Hour's discussion of the movie.

On Only Murders in the Building, "The Boy From 6B" (season 1, episode 7) provided a ton of exposition with almost no dialogue. It was a clever, creative way to suggest two new suspects for Tim Kono's murder.

Roundabout Roundup: Our Archives, Blown Away Christmas, and Two Blind Brothers

12/24/2021

0 Comments

 
On this week’s Roundabout Roundup: Nicole shouts out this very podcast--specifically, our archives, because we have over 1,000 episodes for you to enjoy. Terri tried out a fun promotion from the Two Blind Brothers store, and was rewarded with a soft and adorable stuffed puppy. And Catherine binged Netflix's Blown Away Christmas, the special edition of a show she recommended in this space more than two years ago (told you we have a lot of old episodes).
​
Thanks as always to Jon Morin for our fun in-and-out music, which you hear on every episode.
