Martha and Colby Grow Up

Latest Episodes:

Kiddos? NO! Childless by Choice with friend of the pod Tessa Swehla Feb 17, 2021

Show notes

Do you want kids?

Loaded question, I know. There's a lot that goes into this decision, and sometimes not knowing right now is okay too. Colby always knew he wanted to have kids, Tessa and Martha are pretty firmly in the "no" camp. There is no wrong answer, just you know, societal pressure arond doing the right thing.

Next month, we'll take a different perspective and hear from someone who DOES have kids and would like more. In the mean time, you can find us over at The Four Nations Report (www.fournationsreport.com)

2020 IN REVIEW: with friend of the pod Melissa Sloter! Dec 23, 2020

Show notes

Damn, what a year.

From the rise of the phrase "new normal" and exponential purchases of Pelotons, 2020 really did have it all. Listen as we break down 2020 through the different trends and reflect on how the year REALLY went.

GENDER is GREAT: A Discussion About Gender in Media with guest Dr. Lauren Bre! Sep 16, 2020

Show notes

Ever notice how there aren't many nonbinary or trans characters in media?

We did. But, maybe you haven't yet - and that's okay! We talk about diversity in media and how representation is important. And it's not just trans and nonbinary folks, there's also an imbalance of men and women in movies and tv shows. We've come a long way, but there is still work to be done.

Thanks to Lauren for being our guest this week! Find her on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/RhetoricNSpice

INVESTIGATING Life in ICELAND in 2020 Aug 19, 2020

Show notes

Do you want to build a snowman?

That's not at all what we're talking about, but when you think of Iceland I hope you maybe think of snow so this bit makes sense. We chat with our friends Hrund and Sverrir about their life in Iceland growing up, as well as how their country has handled the coronavirus pandemic.

What's the HECKING DEAL with HEALTH INSURANCE? Jul 22, 2020

Show notes

On a scale of 1-10, how scared are you to call the doctor?

Young Martha learned this skill very quickly, and now tries to teach people about how much that doctor visit will actually cost you. A broken elbow and meeting her deductible is not out of the ordinary for Martha.

WHY COOKING IS SO HARD FOR MARTHA: featuring friend of the pod Garlic Press Jess! Jun 17, 2020

Show notes

If you're like Martha, you can cook maybe 10 things well.

Look, I'm not ashamed to admit it. That's why we asked Jess of Garlic Press Jess to teach us some tips and tricks in the kitchen. We also discuss diversity in food and cooking (looking at you Alison Roman) and how to improve our dishes.
