A League of Their Own w. Jade Van Kley Jun 09, 2021

Show notes

This week we talk about our daughter, Dottie, and our other daughter, Dottie’s sister. Join us (and guest Jade Van Kley) for a lively chat about A League of Their Own.

You can find Jade on Twitter here, and her podcast Backstage Triage here.

We made a playlist to accompany this episode! It's comprised of songs that come to mind when we all think about this movie.

You Are Good is a show in which hosts Sarah Marshall and Alex Steed attempt to understand what the hell it means to be the grown children of dads and other dad-like figures. And, as they do with all difficult subject matter, they do so by looking through a pop culture lens.

You can find us on Twitter, Instagram and Patreon.

You can find producer and music director Carolyn Kendrick's music here. She's also on Twitter.

Fresh Lesh produces the beats for our episodes.

Well, we got no class and we got no principals. We ain't got no innocence. We can't even think of a word that rhymes. School's out for summer. We talk Dazed and Confused with Sean Nelson.

Sean's record Nelson Sings Nilsson is the greatest.
