Edan and Amelia check in with one another midway through week 4 of social distancing: what they ate, what they watched, and two interesting articles they read.

Alone Together, Cont.

They read an email from a listener and patron about paying for the podcast, and then they discuss a rap song.  LINKS to what we mention We would love your support

You Never Had Control

Amelia and Edan speak remotely so as to maintain social distancing. They talk about their self-quarantines and Covid-19 responses. They try to counteract the heaviness with some badly needed frivolity and beauty: fashion, vintage gymnastic meets, and poetry. LINKS to what we mention Without your support, we would have quit by now

Think Starlight

Amelia and Edan share what's inspiring them these days, from books to random stuff they glimpse on the street. Then, instead of a guest, they get into some recent conflicts, both podcast- and friendship-related, and don't hold back! This is what happens when people stop being polite and start getting real.  LINKS to what we mention Support the show?

Women Tell All

This week, Amelia has some more Bachelor rage and Edan's baby is sick. Then we discuss homework: how it's going for our oldest kids, the benefits of homework, what we wish they were assigned...and what it's like in reality.

Taking Care

Amelia rages against The Oscars and The Bachelor, and Edan talks about how she's not working and how exercising has influenced her feelings about aging.

What is Most Alive of All

Amelia cooked something delicious and Edan shares updates on Bean's school drama.

LINKS to what we mention We don't have any ads. Isn't that great?

Softness Now!

Amelia and Edan play a call from a listener explaining further why she wants to have surgery, and they use that to discuss body acceptance/shame, and aging in general. Is getting Botox anti-feminist? And where are all the old people? At about 35:00, they interview photographer Elinor Carucci about her new book Midlife and how she explores aging, motherhood, and her family through her art.  LINKS to what we mention Your support means a LOT
