Oh, I Like That podcast hosts Rachel Wilkerson Miller and Sally Tamarkin climb out of our group chat and onto the Gee Thanks! Podcast to talk about the best gifts they gave over the holidays, and this episode GOES PLACES. We really talk about everything. Fake food? Yes. Car safety? Obviously.

Casey Johnston AKA Swole Woman is back to put us in our damn place this January. Casey created a program called Couch to Barbell that teaches any and every BODY how to pick things up and put them down, no matter how much those things weigh. I, for one, would love to learn how to not lift with my knees or back or whatever. Whatever is the wrong way, I want to learn how not to do that. I love having a conversation about bodies and exercise that has nothing to do with aesthetics or size. Plus, take...

Happy 2022! I am thinking about new things I can do with this podcast. Is it: more episodes? More mini episodes? A rotating small cast of recurring guest hosts? Call in episodes? Having listeners on the show? Weirdly, a lot of people said I should do some solo episodes talking about a product or two each week. I am super down for that, but it also makes me extremely nervous! So I called my friend Kate Kennedy of Be There In Five and asked her if she’d share some solo podcasting tips with me. I r...
