24 APR 2025 · Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.
Catherine's library find is https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/198902277-the-wedding-people, a novel by Alison Espach that's circulating heavily at her library and lived up to the hype. Mentioned: The movie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8xW7SaUCgE.
Terri's random recommendation is a writer she's shouted out before, Brian Grubb. This time, he's got a https://substack.com/home/post/p-160354268 that delighted both Terri and her husband. If you haven't watched the show, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1MTokpm6rY to give you a taste.
In the archives, we checked in on an episode from 2018 on https://www.parentingroundaboutpodcast.com/blog/episode-215-share-and-share-alike, and when it's OK not to.
Next week's lineup:
- Lost S2 E19, "S.O.S.," on Tuesday, April 29
- Running Point S1 E6, "The Yips," on Wednesday, April 30
- Weekly roundup on Thursday, May 1
Until then (and anytime you're in need), the https://www.parentingroundaboutpodcast.com/blog are available.
This episode was recorded before a live studio audience ... of dogs.

23 APR 2025 · Every Wednesday, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property, and currently, that's Running Point. This episode brought us the inevitable falling-into-a-pool-in-formalwear moment (three out of five Gordons), which is definitely some kind of sitcom law. And though raised by a single mom, Jackie shows he's savvy enough to play Mom against Dad, or in this case, brother against brother. Mentioned: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aF-p8z_R2q0 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfmaZB_G11Q praising Max Greenfield's dance moves on Good Hang with Amy Poehler.
Next Wednesday, we'll watch season 1, episode 6, "The Yips." We'll be back tomorrow with our weekly roundup.

22 APR 2025 · Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. This episode was nothing but sad, as we flashed back to Hurley's time in a psychiatric hospital and learned more about who was (and wasn't) there with him.
Next Tuesday, we'll continue with season 2, episode 19, "S.O.S." Tomorrow, we'll continue our discussion of a newer show, Running Point.

17 APR 2025 · Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.
Catherine's library find is a series of children's early chapter books starring a rat named https://www.simonandschuster.com/series/Ratnip. And yes, there's one about a https://www.vox.com/2015/9/21/9366729/ny-subway-pizza-rat.
Terri's random recommendation this week is a celebrity podcast. We'd only do this for https://www.youtube.com/@Good-Hang-with-Amy-Poehler! Mentioned: https://www.parentingroundaboutpodcast.com/blog/what-were-watching-bridgerton-capital-r-rake-and-the-afterparty-aniq and the https://www.parentingroundaboutpodcast.com/blog/roundabout-roundup-audible-parks-and-recollection-and-starbucks-royal-english-breakfast-tea-latte.
In the archives, we checked in on an episode from 2016 (!) on https://parentingroundabout.libsyn.com/episode-115-the-parenting-finish-line. Mentioned: Our discussion on how to define "https://www.parentingroundaboutpodcast.com/blog/what-is-a-young-adult."
Next week's lineup:
- Lost S2 E18, "Dave," on Tuesday, April 22
- Running Point S1 E5, "Beshert," on Wednesday, April 23

16 APR 2025 · Every Wednesday, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property, and currently, that's Running Point. This week, two brothers are entirely absent, but the other two are uncomfortably close, as Ness camps out at Sandy's pristine (clearly child-free) home. Meanwhile, Isla's usual "flip the script, come out on top" plan doesn't come together by the end of the episode. Mentioned: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doljanchi and Brian Grubb's "https://substack.com/home/post/p-159781102."
Next Wednesday, we'll watch season 1, episode 5, "Beshert." We'll be back tomorrow with our weekly roundup.

15 APR 2025 · Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. In this episode, we get yet another reminder that Locke's pre-island life was a real bummer, in case we forgot. And his comfortable island life in the hatch is upended too.
Next Tuesday, we'll continue with season 2, episode 18, "Dave." Tomorrow, we'll continue our discussion of a newer show, Running Point.

10 APR 2025 · Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.
Catherine's library find is https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/770261/menopause-makes-by-jenni-smith-kay-walsh/. It's a book that hops on a trend and gives it a twist. But we're not sure if it's going to have the intended effect.
Terri's random recommendation this week is two comedians that the Facebook algorithm has decided (correctly!) that she, a person of a certain age, will enjoy: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=brian+kiley and https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=andy+huggins.
In the archives, we checked in on an episode from 2023 on our kids and their https://www.parentingroundaboutpodcast.com/blog/sibling-stories.
Next week's lineup:
- Lost S2 E17, "Lockdown," on Tuesday, April 15
- Running Point S1 E4, "Doljanchi," on Wednesday, April 16
- Weekly roundup on Thursday, April 17

9 APR 2025 · Every Wednesday, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property, and currently, that's Running Point. The episodes certainly follow a pattern, but they are enjoyable and make us laugh. And after this one, we're ready to hire Marcus as a parenting coach.
Next Wednesday, we'll watch season 1, episode 4, "Doljanchi." We'll be back tomorrow with our weekly roundup.

8 APR 2025 · Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. In this episode, surprise! We're going to need another cradle. Also surprise (not really): Henry Gale isn't who he says he is. Mentioned: The "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBuuT6x4IL4" scene and https://x.com/mygirlbarks on X.
Next Tuesday, we'll continue with season 2, episode 17, "Lockdown." Tomorrow, we'll continue our discussion of a newer show, Running Point.

3 APR 2025 · Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.
Catherine's library find is a cute kids' game that can be played solo or collaboratively. It's called https://boardgamegeek.com/blog/3235/blogpost/79223/gaming-bits-cat-crimes-review and seems like a twist on Clue for young players (there's no murder!).
Terri's random recommendation this week is Facebook groups for any ailments or fancy medications you might be taking. It's a techie upgrade on bonding with fellow patients in a waiting room.
In the archives, we checked in on an episode from 2017 on the https://parentingroundabout.libsyn.com/episode-163-the-delicate-art-of-delegating.
Next week's lineup:
- Lost S2 E16, "The Whole Truth," on Tuesday, April 8
- Running Point S1 E3, "The Travis Bugg Affair," on Wednesday, April 9
- Weekly roundup on Thursday, April 10
