Season Two, Episode Two- Mass Shootings & Motherhood

This week we are getting into the serious topic of mass shootings in our country. This is in light of the shooting in Oregon, which has shocked and saddened us. Paul and I are discussing whether reform is possible, and sharing our views on how we got to this place in our country. This conversation is likely to bring up strong feelings, so we hope that people will join the discussion and comment in!

The second half of this week's program is a bit different for us; Paul will be interviewing me about my experience with motherhood so far. I sincerely hope you enjoy that segment, and possibly relate to it in some ways!

Listen in, and don't forget, we are now on iTunes!!!

Season Two, Episode One Trump & Football

Hello everyone! We've missed you very much and hope you've missed us too!

We took the summer off to gallivant and work on other projects, but now we're back together and better than ever. You may notice some changes to our format as we improve our craft, and we hope you enjoy them.

We are rolling out our season premiere today and couldn't be more excited. We give it the proverbial kick off with a segment we call "Trumping The Election." In our second half, we will be talking about Football in America. We are likely to ruffle more than a few sports feathers...but you know we love to hear your disagreement (or agreement...)

Please give us a listen, and then join the discussion!

Welcome back to Honestly!!

Episode 13- Obama's Report Card & Favorites

Lucky number 13 is here!

This week, we're rating Obama's Presidency (so far) and talking about his successes, failures, highs and lows. We discuss what our expectations were, and how he measured up. Will you agree or disagree with our points of view? Listen in and find out--we'd love to hear your report card for the President as well.

In our ladder segment, we'll be mixing it up and doing a little Q&A with one another about our favorite things. It's a lighter, funnier, more personal segment, and we hope you will enjoy and play along, telling us some of your favorite things as well!!

We hope you will enjoy another week of Honestly!!

Episode 12- Pity & Art Versus Entertainment

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there.

For today's episode, we're veering a little by not covering a political topic in the podcast. We make the rules, so we can break the rules--it's just how we roll. Anyway, it's a pseudo holiday weekend, so we're mixing it up.

This week, we're talking about pity, a worthy subject. Is pity an emotion that gets enough credit? Or it is undervalued? We are debating the nature of pity itself. This seems fitting on a day such as Mother's Day because there are a lot of parents who have lost their children, or children who have lost their parents. We touch on that briefly, and it's something worth thinking about a day like today where lots of people are celebrating...and yet others are not.

The second subject we discuss is art versus entertainment. In a society where we've made reality television a mainstay, where is the high art? Furthermore, is high art perverted these days into something that can only be enjoyed by the upper crust of society? We're getting into it, and we hope you will join the conversation!

Episode 11- Riots & Gay Marriage

Given all of the events of the past week, we decided we needed to talk about riots in general. We are taking it as a broad subject, but also tying in a lot of the events from Baltimore this week.

We have talked about race as it relates to these topics as well, and you can access that past podcast by CLICKING HERE. We aren't going to cover racism as a focus in this segment, although we will discuss it some (just not in as much detail.)

There is an article we discuss in this week's podcast by Mother Jones. We encourage everyone to give this a read, as it is central to the conversation we're having specifically concerning the Baltimore riots, but it's also very important news. Access that by clicking HERE.

The other subject we're covering is gay marriage. As some of you may know, this is a topic being debated in the Supreme Court right now. They won't rule on it until summer, but this is big deal for gay rights advocates and the gay community in general. We are talking about the arguments being made in the Supreme Court and letting our hair down just a little in this segment.

 We hope you will share our podcast with your friends, and help our growth! Enjoy this week's episode.

Episode 9- Conspiracy Theories & Freewill

Wow, can you guys believe it's our 9th episode? Thanks again (and as always) for listening to our podcast. The rhythm is really becoming established now and we're so happy to be a part of your weekly routine!

This week we're talking about conspiracy theories--are they real, or just for fun? Why does the moon landing conspiracy theory make people so angry whereas others, such 9/11, don't?

Also, we are talking about whether or not freewill is real. That is a particularly existential question and one we have debated privately many times.
We're excited to hear what you guys all think of our topics. Please feel free to comment in--agree or disagree--you know we love some good banter! This week is a little lighter, nothing too heavy...but next week we're gonna flare up again, so be prepared!
