Dancing With the Stars is humming along, with its agreeable stars making progress and their pros cheering them on. We've had enough of the fake audience cheering for Tyra, though. Next week: Villains Night.

Speaking of villains, we also have had more than enough of the Bad Dads of Veronica Mars season 2, Aaron Echolls and Woody Goodman. Go away, please! Next: "Not Pictured."

Kudos to Nicole, who has decided to go back to school and pursue a master's degree! That prompted us to talk about how well we're doing at learning new things, even in our (ahem) advancing age.

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

Even though our ceremonies were back in the day before enormous wedding parties were a thing, we don't all have happy stories to tell.

On Second-Listen Saturday, we share some fun moments from past episodes for your weekend listening pleasure.

We take a cue from Dancing with the Stars and recall our Most Memorable Years. Nicole's is definitely dramatic enough for a barefoot contemporary number, while Terri plans to rhumba with Sasha.

On this week’s Roundabout Roundup: Catherine's enjoying a new documentary podcast called Unfinished: Short Creek, and Nicole has found a cat tunnel toy to amuse her new kitten. Terri is catching up on audiobooks and recommends Laugh Lines: My Life Helping Funny People Be Funnier by Alan Zweibel, along with Phil Rosenthal's You’re Lucky You’re Funny: How Life Becomes a Sitcom and Liquid Rules: The Delightful and Dangerous Substances that Flow Through Our Lives by Mark Miodownik.

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

In the beginning of the pandemic, everything was on Zoom. Then we all got a bit of Zoom fatigue. Now we're realizing that if we want to keep friendships alive, we have to embrace virtual get-togethers.

Earlier in the lockdown, we lamented the loss of several key appliances. This unfortunate trend is continuing, plus we've added car trouble into the mix.

On Dancing with the Stars, '80s Night brought a lot of bad hair and costume cheesiness, along with the usual Too Much Tyra. While the dances weren't great, the stars are all showing a good deal of mirror ball spirit.

Meanwhile, in Neptune, the Veronica Mars​ writers are piling plot point on top of plot point as season two careens toward its finale, with more proof that Woody Goodman is a bad guy and so is Aaron Echolls. Next: "Happy Go Lucky."

On today's Round 1, we're talking about some of the tech troubles that accompany virtual schooling (for parents, kids, and teachers) and how to overcome them. Mentioned: "8 Tricks for Making Remote School Easier" at the Wall Street Journal and the Time Timer.

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

​A cartoon from Hedger Humor for Babble (go look at it now; we'll wait) got us thinking about the sweet simple things that make us happy now, in our grown-up years.
