That's What We SaidAnti-Racist Children's BooksOver the last two weeks, as it seems like the moment for a national reckoning with over 4 centuries of systemic racism may have finally arrived for America, we at TWWS have been taking a step back to spend some time listening, particularly to Black women. As we go forward, we're talking amongst the four of us about what we want a humor podcast hosted by four white, middle-aged, middle class, rural women to sound like during this important time. As we continue our thinking, Kelly and Jenny recorded a quick episode about the children's books we've been...

This week, we have witnessed yet another murder of a black man, George Floyd, by police, we're still reeling from the death of Breonna Taylor, a young Kentucky woman and an EMT killed by police while in her own bed in her own home; we're still grappling with the white woman in Central Park, who called the police in an effort to intimidate Christian Cooper, a black man and...

So this week, we're recognizing motherhood by telling the funny stories about how our own children came into the world. We talk about memorable healthcare professionals, including a cowboy doctor. We talk about hospital food: bananas, canned spinach, imaginary chocolate, and one very memorable peanut butter and jelly sandwich. This Moth...

That's What We SaidDonnie DuckoThis week, we're talking to Martina Leforce of Berea Kids Eat about feeding programs, gardening, local chicken laws, and pet ducks. Jenny, who is still looking for new hens for her flock, didn't know that she wouldn't even be able to raise chickens in town if not for local activists' work in changing livestock ordinances from the turn of the twentieth century! Becca speaks about volunteering with the local feeding program during the current school closure, and we ponder local networks and how long-time partnerships have allowed for the distribution of 1000s of meals during the COVID-19 crisis.

That's What We SaidThank You for Being a FriendRecorded on March 1, 2020, just before COVID-19 made social distancing the norm, we sat around Kelly's kitchen table and talked about female friendship. If there's one thing that's helping us find our places in the world, it's our friends. As we find ourselves in our forties, life brings us more and more experiences that only other women can understand, whether those are our oldest friends who see us at our most vulnerable and at our happiest... or work friends who see us every day at our best and worst …. or fellow podcast hosts who see us in our insomnia group ch...

That's What We SaidYou Can't Be Doing ThatWe got together, separately in our own homes this week, to talk about the Age of the Coronavirus. It was just a couple of weeks ago that we were gathered around Kelly's kitchen table with mimosas, so it seemed important to take stock of how the world has changed. We talk about the heroes who've been shining in our community even as we struggle to find the light. We talk a little bit about — okay, a lot about — our Kentucky governor Andy Beshear and how his daily briefings are bringing our state together to flatten the curve. Finally, don't miss...

That's What We SaidA Checkerboard Community - Berea's Black HistoryIt's not too much to say that Sharyn Mitchell knows more about Berea and Berea history than almost anyone else. This week, we asked her to join us to talk specifically about the history of African-American communities in Madison County and Berea. Before our talk, we may have thought we were pretty well-informed about the place we call home, but Sharyn helped us see the neighborhoods, streets, buildings, land, and PEOPLE in a new way. From intentional real estate design in the 19th century -- which made Berea a unique example of racial integration in housing-- to the small s...

We heard from so many listeners about the wild jobs they had in young adulthood, but our friend Amanda presented us with such an incredible list that we knew we had to record a bonus episode with her as soon as we could.
