#390 (Friday): The Return of #trypod

On this Final Friday show the gang has gathered around the ol’ microphone to hang out, talk turkey, and debate the correct amount of melatonin to give your kids (and mothers-in-law?) before bed. Up first, we peruse the contents of the mailbag, which spark discussions regarding the appeal of the Real Housewives franchises, airport crimes against humanity, the pitfalls of getting a variety pack of Seagrams, and the time Hillary got kicked out of a sorority formal. Then we revisit an old concept: #trypod. We’re in agreement that our podcatchers are significantly more crowded than we’d like, but, like all good addicts, we’re always ready for a hit of something new. We’ve chosen shows that inspire us, make us smarter, dial us into pop culture, and transport us to another world (not literally, because that would be terrifying).

Here are the podcasts we showcase:

Christy: Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls and Imagined Life

Meredith: Lexicon Valley (When Ain't Was All Right)

Bobby: Hit Parade (The Give Me a Sign Edition)

Mike: The Rewatchables (Forrest Gump)

Hillary: Who? Weekly (Who's There: Suge J. Knight & Andy King?)

Ann: Wolf 359 (Episode 2: Little Revolución)
