Wurlitzer Records: Entre Mad Season y las novedades
Hola, gente. En este 2025 se cumplen 30 años de la publicación del álbum Above de Mad Season, y con este aniversario llegará una nueva reedición de un disco único, en muchos sentidos.

Luego entraremos en el bloque de novedades que vendrá segmentado por alguna que otra sorpresa.Creo que ha quedado un programa tan raro como intenso, con estéticas tan distintas que no complacerá a nadie al completo, como la vida misma.

I also visited a beautiful farm where you can take a goat for a walk around the Sussex downs, to find out more about what it is really like to take care of goats, and live alongside them - often in very close proximity!Thank you to...

While today we are mostly covering exactly what this movement was, the larger arc this lives inside is the way that this impacts not only the impact to the wellness world but also to the larger culture, especially within the US where this originated.

Beyond Impossible Meat
This week we take a slightly different approach to finding the middle - join us on a journey of looking deeply at "both sides" in the meat vs plant-based meat conversation. As always, we seek out the middle ground and share our own personal opinions, beliefs, and biases - we aren't necessarily seeking out "the right answer" but the nuance in what goes into the choices we might make.As promised for visual learners, here's the ingredient lists for the burgers:Beyond BurgerImpossible BurgerBeefTurkey"...

The Invisible Work of Women

In the conversation that kicked this off, we were talking about that statistic that "being a mom is the equivalent of 2.5 jobs" and we wanted to look at that a little more. (We'd love to hear your feedback on this, please reach out to either Jenny or Annika on instagram and let us know!)We dig into the history around women working and what the impact of women's movements has been.
