We grapple with putting these events in context, from the destruction of political and social norms over the past 5 years, to the anti-government rhetoric of the past 5 decades, to the militarism, materialism, and racism that have defined our country for the past 5 centuries.

On more serious notes, we celebrate the service of a local city council member who ended her term this year, and we recommit to making sure that Kentucky movements for racial justice don't slip below our radar. The short legislative session is coming up, and it's...

Jenny can't get enough of Supermarket Sweep and Kelly gets confused about what Leslie Jones' Twitter account has to do with that. From Chess in Lexington, KY, to football in London, England, to small town Ontario, Canada, explore the wide world of the TWWS Pod Sisters' media consumption heading into the holidays. Speaking of the holidays, we have all been partaking of such high brow classics as Christmas Vacation and Home Alone and we ponder how the plots of these films would have been different if the...

We're talking candy! Cookies! Decorations! Songs! We spend an unreasonably long time talking about wrapping paper, from Katie's touching story about her grandmother's gift wrap to Jenny's newly discovered perimenopausal rage about cheap paper. And we learn something too, too shocking about how Santa wraps presents at Becca's house. You'll want to listen for Katie's advice on the ultimate Chex mix recipe as we break down the maternal labor of the holiday. And we may...

We talk about what it's like to bring out a book during a pandemic, and Alix promises to come back on the pod as a book concierge for us. This holiday season, we recommend supporting your indie bookseller by purchasing a...
2020-11-2635 minThat's What We SaidEstill Street is Going to Be LitWe recorded this episode on Saturday, November 7th, while we -- and the world -- were waiting for the Presidential election to be called. While we wait, we talk about election results in Kentucky, particularly the dispiriting news that a state representative currently indicted for assault on his wife has been easily reelected. We ponder Red and Blue America and how that false dualism makes it harder for rural organizers to make headway in our areas. But if that sounds deep, we also take a moment to laugh about the memes of the 2020 election. Finally, right before we log...

It touches almost every aspect of our lives, and can influence what we believe, what we watch, and who we vote for. Whether it is "mainstream," "social," "right-wing," or "left-wing," the media is something that is on all of our minds, almost all the time. This week, during a special Election Day episode, Kelly and Becca have a conversation about the state of media and journalism with lo...

Who knows? -- we're ready to peel off the plastered smiles on our faces and get real about how it's going. With just a few days left before the 2020 election, it seems like all of the chickens of our entire lives are coming home to roost. Chickens may be the wrong animal metaphor, because first we've got to talk about cats. Jenny's been attempting to do a little self-care through indoor gardening, and her cats have been determined to take her project down. That's...

We learn what it was like for Adam to teach 13 year olds via zoom for weeks and then to welcome them into the school building and discover that he knew their voices better than their faces. Also, we are surprised to learn that Adam is an expert in the epitome of coronavirus comfort foods... Not sourdough... Not produce from the Victory Garden... We're talking about oatmeal pies and zebra cakes. How did Adam become an expert in all things Little Debbie? And which "...

Elly is happy to give us all the details while updating us on how communication has changed in the last 30 years. Hint: no landlines or whiteboards on your dorm door.

2020-09-1928 minThat's What We SaidHorses on a PlaneThis week, we're remembering that time in history when we used to leave our homes and go places AKA travel. Jenny's joy at packing a suitcase to move her daughter to college sparked nostalgia in all of us for hitting the road. So we're taking a week to talk about travel mishaps, whether it's long delays on the tarmac, meeting famous jockey at the baggage claim, or being bitten by a thousand mosquitos in foreign locales, we miss a world outside the four walls of our homes. Come for the turbulence, stay for Katie's encounters with politicians at the...

This week, we're checking in with each other after five months of life during the coronavirus pandemic. Where are we? Well, mainly at home and tired of it. We're worried about our children as they go back to school. We're fretting about the ways 2020 has changed us: from people who could blithely let our household run out of toilet paper to people who wonder if the Costco megapack is enough to last...

Katie and Jenny are on Team Jello Salad while Becca and Kelly are champions of Team Egg Salad. It's time to throw down. Will Katie's grandma's special jello mold win the day?

That's What We SaidMargarita Sippy CupWe're sure we're not alone in reaching a new level of pandemic distress this week. It's a rough time as we try to cope with surging cases and deaths in the US and here at home in Kentucky. So we thought we'd take a week to talk about new pandemic experiences that AREN'T making us weep. For exercise, Katie's been paddle boarding at our local reservoir. Her sunburn may have made her cry, but time out on the water with her friends has given her joy. Now that she's invested in new swim pants, the sunburn and the tears...

That's What We SaidThumbs Up for Grilled CheeseIt's time for a monthly roundup of what we've been watching, reading, and listening to during this month of staying at home. As we get deeper into the pandemic, we find that we're doing one of two things: seeking out books and movies that teach us something and seeking out the familiar to soothe us during uncertain times. Katie alerts us to an article about why people return to favorite shows when the world is a scary place, which definitely made us all feel better about our return to the worlds of Pawnee, Scranton, Mayberry, and the Golden Girls...

That's What We SaidSmall WondersBuilding on last week's discussion about toys of our childhood, we talk about the 70s and 80s TV landscape that allowed for a show like "Small Wonder," the tale of a robot girl and her life in a suburban family. We contrast wholesome family fare like Family Ties and The Cosby Show (!) with Three's Company, where a man and two women, none of whom were married to each other, lived together in the same home! Some of our parents did not approve. If you find yourself chuckling at any of these memories, there are plenty more in the podcast...

That's What We SaidWhat Was Your Barbie Doing, Becca?This week we take a break from life during a pandemic to remember the toys of our childhoods. There's nothing like a good trip down memory lane to take your mind off presidential tweets and fights over masks, especially when memory leads you to the very weird time in pop culture that was the 1970s and 80s. We discuss the frailties of Barbie hair when exposed to swimming pools, hair dryers, and ineptly wielded safety scissors. We compare our Donnie & Marie toys. And we recollect various Christmas fad toys. Recorded via Zoom in Berea, KY | Edited by...

From well meaning folks offering to drive basic supplies to Kentucky to celebrities weighing in on our absentee voting primary, from the influx of outside cash into our races to the history of Appalachian and southern stereotypes, we're a little salty and not afraid to remind folks of the complexities of our state.

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.

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...

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.

Katie did because of some recent sick day viewing of a TV movie about that crush. Unfortunately, Becca — former bank teller — has to bring us back to earth with the reality that bank work is not all that sexy and glamorous. Maybe we're just not...
