The Tony Awards is this Sunday (go Hamilton!) and we'll be live-tweeting the ceremony and probably some red-carpet action beforehand. Since we have Twitter on our minds, we thought we'd share some of our favorite entertainment tweeters, in case like us you get an appreciable amount of your pop culture by reading tweets about it. Among those mentioned:
Hamilton: Especially @Lin_Manuel, but also @LacketyLac, @ChrisisSingin, @DaveedDiggs, @leslieodomjr, @Anthony_Ramos1, @OakSmash, @phillipasoo, @reneeelisegolds
Pop Culture Happy Hour: @nprmonkeysee, @ghweldon, @idislikestephen
Extra Hot Great: @taraariano, @tomatonation
Writers: @sepinwall, @TheFienPrint, @fuggirls
Actors: @joshmalina, @mindykaling
Too many handles to handle? Just follow Terri's entertainment list for all these and more.
After all that twittering, we checked in with So You Think You Can Dance (from which we would like to see no more bare-skin costumes, no more vomiting children, and no more dancing moms) and then moved on to our Parks and Recreation marathon, which this week included the Season 5 episodes "Bailout," "Partridge," "Animal Control," and "Article Two." For next week, we'll be finishing up Season 5 with "Jerry's Retirement," "Swing Vote," and "Are You Better Off?" Also, if you're following along on our West Wing watch coordinated to the West Wing Weekly podcast, watch "Lord John Marbury" for next week. And don't forget to follow us in our live-tweeting Sunday night!
This week's episode marks our transition from talking about Dancing With the Stars to talking about So You Think You Can Dance. But the first episode of the new kiddie version of the dance competition has us so disheartened and uncomfortable that we spend most of the podcast talking about the huge number of trailers we watched for upcoming fall and midseason TV series. We hope you like time travel, because that's the "designated completely random theme that a whole bunch of shows independently settled on" for this season. Also, apparently stay-at-home dads are still hi-larious, which makes us think somehow we've time-traveled into the past ourselves. If you'd like to take a look at what we're talking about, we followed the links to trailers from this Entertainment Weekly page, though you can play the winner for "Most Tear-Jerking/Least Comprehensible Trailer" above. Traveling back in time even further, we continued our Parks and Recreation marathon with the Season 5 episodes "Ann's Decision," "Emergency Response," "Leslie and Ben," and "Correspondent's Lunch." For those marathoning along with us, next week brings "Bailout," "Partridge," "Animal Control," and "Article Two."
Another season of Dancing With the Stars has pirouetted away, with our season-long favorite Nyle taking the mirror-ball trophy. We come to you one day late this week so we can talk all the dancing and fabulousness and blatant filler of the deluxe two-night finale. After a mention of a Kickstarter campaign to help the Deaf West production of Spring Awakening pay for its performance at the Tony Awards, we move on to Catherine's latest book-club book, The Winter People by Jennifer McMahon, which is more creepy than she expected (maybe a good thing for some folks, not for her). We skip over our weekly Parks and Recreation marathon because we just didn't have time to watch this week, but we did take in "The Short List," the episode of The West Wing covered by The West Wing Weekly last week, and chat about it a bit. For next week, the Season 5 Parks and Rec eps "Ann's Decision," "Emergency Response," "Leslie and Ben," and "Correspondents' Lunch" are still up, and "In Excelsis Deo" is the West Wing one to watch.
So one of our final three Dancing With the Stars contestants is a big pile of meh as far as we're concerned, and one of the folks who went home is someone whose joy we enjoyed, but all things considered, it's not been a bad season under the mirror ball. We give our thoughts on this week's dances, wins, and losses, and look forward to next week's two days of finals (look for our podcast on Wednesday). We also continue our Parks and Rec marathon with the season-five episodes "Pawnee Commons," "Ron and Diane," "Two Parties," and "Women in Garbage"; watch "Enemies" along with the West Wing Weekly podcast; and work in a quick chat about the recent slaughter of not-yet-renewed shows and the way Lin-Manuel Miranda's Twitter presence is reinforcing all our worst procrastinating habits. If you're following along on our marathons (and not procrastinating), next week we'll be watching the Parks and Rec episodes "Ann's Decision," "Emergency Response," "Leslie and Ben," and "Correspondent's Lunch," and the West Wing episode "The Short List."
Dancing With the Stars is starting to get real -- well, not real, like having anything to do with real life, but real like people who you wish would stay around longer are being sent home. Catherine and Terri chat about this week's dances and gimmicks and hailstorm of 10s, and then move on to a more dignified competition — the Tony Awards — for which the nominations have recently been announced. Out of a large field of musicals and plays they've never seen, they're pretty excited for Hamilton, the cast album of which Terri has played so many times that her kids are about ready to take away her iPhone. Next, they continue their Parks and Recreation marathon with four season 5 episodes — "Sex Education," "Halloween Surprise," "Ben's Parents," and "Leslie vs. April" — and follow along with the West Wing Weekly podcast by watching and discussing Season 1's "The State Dinner." If you're watching along too, up next are Parks and Rec eps "Pawnee Commons," "Ron and Diane," "Two Parties," and "Women and Garbage," and the West Wing ep "Enemies."
On this week's entertainment-themed Round 2, Catherine and Terri chatted about the latest episode of Dancing With the Stars and Icons and Easily Confused Paddle-Wielders; continued their Parks and Rec marathon with Season 4 closer "Win Lose or Draw" and Season 5 openers "Ms. Knope Goes to Washington," "Soda Tax," and "How a Bill Becomes a Law"; and suppressed their iTunes review envy to watch the West Wing season one ep "Mr. Willis of Ohio" with the West Wing Weekly podcast. Listen along, and if you want to marathon with us next week, we'll be discussing the P&R eps "Sex Education," "Halloween Surprise," "Ben's Parents," and "Leslie vs. April," and the WW ep "The State Dinner."
On this week's entertainment-themed podcast, Catherine and Terri wonder why people can't just dance on a dancing show, who should be cast in Catherine's latest book-club book, when Leslie Knope's council campaign will ever be over, and why we can't all age like Rob Lowe. Want to fast-forward through some of that? Here's your guide:
0:26: Dancing With the Stars — It's Iconic Dances Night, and it's pretty clear that they're using "iconic dances" with the same air quotes as "stars."
14:52 Catherine's Book Club Report — Catherine read The Art of Crash Landing by Melissa DeCarlo and gives us a quick review.
19:56 Parks and Recreation Marathon — This week, we discussed the Season 4 episodes "Lucky," "Live Ammo," "The Debate," and "Bus Trip." Up next week: "Win, Lose, or Draw," "Ms. Knope Goes to Washington," "Soda Tax," and "How a Bill Becomes a Law." Watch along with us!
27:37 The West Wing — We're watching along with The West Wing Weekly podcast and discuss "The Crackpots and These Women" right along with them. Up next: "Mr. Willis of Ohio."
We've got four shows to discuss on this week's entertainment episode of Parenting Roundabout. In case you want to fast-forward over stuff you don't watch or care about, here's a road map through the episode:
0:27 Dancing With the Stars — It was Switch-Up Night on DWTS, and also "Can't anybody do their dang job?" night, as pros failed to choreograph their assigned dances, judges forgot how to hold up the correct paddle, and producers forgot that if you don't even pretend that the scores aren't predetermined, people are going to catch on.
11:54 The People v. O. J. Simpson — So we're a little late in following up on Catherine's initial review of this with a final opinion on the whole thing, but we no longer live in a pop-culture environment where time has meaning, right?
16:19 Parks and Recreation marathon — Our viewing continues with the Season 4 episodes "Operation Ann," "Dave Returns," "Sweet Sixteen," and "Campaign Shake-Up," continuing the generally campaign-centric second half of the season that Terri feels decidedly meh about. The campaigning continues in our episodes for next week, "Lucky," "Live Ammo," "The Debate," and "Bus Tour."
22:35 The West Wing — We're also watching episodes of The West Wing to keep up with the new West Wing Weekly podcast, and so we took a moment here at the end of our ep to chat about "Five Votes Down" and look enthusiastically forward to next week's "The Crackpots and These Women."
When things aren't going well, sometimes all you need is a little chocolate to make things right. Or a pedicure. Or maybe a latte? We share our go-to feel-better strategies on today's Speed Round. (And if you didn't get the Tom Haverford reference, this YouTube clip will explain. Seems like maybe you need to join our Round 2 Parks and Recreation marathon, too.) Share what cheers you up in the comments here or on our Facebook page.
On this week's entertainment episode of Parenting Roundabout, we've got four things to talk about. In case you want to fast-forward over stuff you don't watch or care about, here's a road map through the episode:
0:30: Dancing With the Stars — It was Disney week, which meant lots of princesses, cool costumes and props, 8s and 9s all over the place, and Nyle in a loincloth shaking his butt at the camera. So a satisfying night all around, then.
11:20: Zootopia — Catherine went to a movie! Specifically, Disney's latest animated offering. She and the 11-year-olds she went with give it a thumbs up.
17:24: Our Parks and Recreation marathon — Up this week: the Season 4 episodes "Citizen Knope," "The Comeback Kid," "Campaign Ad," and "Bowling for Votes." For next week, join us in watching "Operation Ann," "Dave Returns," "Sweet Sixteen," and "Campaign Shakeup."
24:20: The West Wing Watch We've been watching Season 1 of The West Wing along with the West Wing Weekly Podcast, and the most recent episode was "A Proportional Response."
Apologies for the background noise partway through. Catherine has learned her lesson not to sit under an air vent.
Dancing With the Stars Week 3 involved the "stars" recalling and dancing to something at least vaguely related to their most memorable year. Sometimes the connection was strong, as with Kim Fields's The Facts of Life dance, and sometimes not so much, as with Von Miller celebrating his recent Super Bowl win with a song that makes Terri think of Miami Vice, a show that was on so long ago there were phone booths. The removal of a phone booth was significant to one of Terri's most memorable Parks and Recreation scenes, as the vacant patch of concrete it left behind became the site of an adorable little park and the adorable reunion of Ben and Leslie in "Smallest Park," one of our P&R marathon episodes for this week along with "End of the World," "The Treaty," and "The Trial of Leslie Knope" (click links for more memorable scenes). Finally, we checked in with the West Wing episode "Post Hoc Ergo Propter Hoc" and the West Wing Weekly Podcast episode that discussed it. (If you're keeping up with our Parks marathon, next up are Season 4's "Citizen Knope," "The Comeback Kid," "Campaign Ad," and "Bowling for Votes.")
Apologies for some technical glitches and basically inferior sound. Our podcast editor is on vacation, and this is what you get with unskilled labor.
For this week's Round 2, we not only watched the Parks and Recreation episode that introduced Donna and Tom's annual day of self-indulgence (it's the best day of the year!), but we treated ourselves to another sparkly episode of Dancing With the Stars and topped it off with an ever-so-satisfying West Wing pilot rewatch inspired by our new favorite podcast, West Wing Weekly. Treat yo self to a half hour of listening to our opinions, and then treat us to your own thoughts in the comments here or on our Facebook page. And if you're watching along on our Parks and Rec marathon, cue up four of Terri's favorites for next week: the awesome little Ben-and-Leslie arc of "End of the World," "The Treaty," "Smallest Park," and "The Trial of Leslie Knope."
Dancing With the Stars is back! And the season is actually looking promising. We're happy to see the return of Len, not so happy to see the return of Mark's ridiculous hair stylings, but overall encouraged by a field with no obvious ringers and few obvious train-wrecks. Our early money is on Nyle and Wanya, but there are plenty of dancers we're happy to see in action.
Meanwhile, on our continuing Parks and Recreation marathon, we watched "Road Trip," "The Bubble," "Li'l Sebastian," and "I'm Leslie Knope" and said hello to Entertainment 7/20, Ron's first ex-wife Tammy, and Rob Lowe's unfortunate haircut; goodbye to Li'l Sebastian; and hello and goodbye to Ben and Leslie as a couple (if only for the moment). On the agenda for next week are the Season 4 episodes "Ron and Tammys," "Born and Raised," "Pawnee Rangers," and "Meet and Greet."
Finally, we mentioned another marathon we're going to be going on courtesy of another podcast -- West Wing Weekly, on which Joshua Malina and Hrishikesh Hirway will be watching WW episodes one by one and talking about them, sometimes with guests. While we won't be doing a full-on chat about the eps, since we'll both be watching and listening, we'll probably have a thing or two to say here too. Why not watch/listen along?
If you notice that we seem to be talking VERY LOUDLY in today's podcast, it may be that we're all just sittin' too close to our mics, or it may be that today's topics bring out the rant in us. In real life, we cringe silently; in podcast life, we get our yell on. Here's a road map to what's riling us up this week.
00:48: Intros and What's New With You -- It doesn't help that most of us need a nap. Yet we soldier on, podcasting through our hacking coughs, headaches, neck aches, Daylight Saving jet lag, epic carpool hangover, sleep deprivation, and deadline stress. Would have maybe been a good week for some nice, quiet, friendly topics.
03:20: Being Embarrassed by Other Parents — Instead, we start out talking about those parents, the ones who ruin it for everyone, the ones who are the reason we can't have nice things, the ones that make us want to wear a T-shirt that says, "The opinions of other parents are not shared by me," or maybe, "I'm not with stupid." What can we do, besides passive-aggressively snark and eyeroll?
14:39: Nude Selfies? Yikes! — And speaking of mortifying things we feel powerless against, we now have to worry about our kids sending out naked pictures of themselves, or seeing naked pictures of their friends (or Kim Kardashian), or finding naked pictures on their teacher's phone, or having such a bad body image that they feel unfit to take naked pictures ... could people stop making parenting teen girls even MORE complicated, please?
27:57: Interview of the Week — All right, calm down. Grandparenting expert Susan Adcox is here to talk about families and sports, and although you might expect a grandparent to get snappy about the way parents today do things, she's actually quite supportive of our drive to be at every single sports event every one of our kids participate in.
39:47: Shameless Self-Promotion — And now, for the kind of shamelessness we can get behind: Terri touts the Round 2 entertainment podcasts she does with Catherine, on which they'll be covering a new season of Dancing With the Stars while continuing a Parks and Recreation marathon; Amanda shares 4 Hard Questions I Asked Myself After the 2016 LDA Conference; Catherine has advice on What Not to Feed Your Child Before They Play Sports; and Nicole really wants you to take her online workshop.
Thanks as always to Jon Morin for producing our podcast and for our fun in-and-out music. If you're reading this somewhere without hyperlinks, come to http://parentingroundabout.com for the full recap experience.
Update: The story about the teacher was in South Carolina, not North Carolina, and the kid who stole the picture has since been arrested, which as parents of teens who sometimes do stupid things does not necessarily make us feel better.
On this week's Round 2, we had three — count 'em, three! — topics, and in case you're only interested in one or two of them, we thought we'd provide you with a little fast-forwarding guide:
0:27: Dancing With the Stars — We talk about the cast for Season 22, who will hit the dance floor on March 21.
11:58: All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr — Catherine read this 500-page tome for her book club and then was not able to attend, so we thought she could get a chance to talk about it somewhere.
18:23: Parks and Recreation marathon — Up for discussion today are the Season 3 episodes "Soulmates," "Jerry's Painting," "Eagleton," and "The Fight."
Next week, we'll start bringing you DWTS recaps and continue with four more Parks and Recreation eps: Season 3's "Road Trip," "The Bubble," and "Li'l Sebastian," plus the Season 4 opener "I'm Leslie Knope."
Oh, hello. We're interrupting Nicole's paying of bills to bring you this podcast, on which we talk about other painful topics, like exercise and life without wifi. Aw, c'mon, join us, it's okay. We promise plenty of laughter with those tears. Here's a roadmap of our conversation.
0:58: Intros and What's New With You — Nicole may be paying her bills as we podcast, but Terri and Amanda are working hard to ignore their large piles of tax-preparaton documents.
5:00: What Type of Exercise Can You Stand to Do? — Well, we like to walk ... and do yoga maybe ... but mostly walk ... does sprinting across an airport count? ... and also walking on treadmills. Walking's good! So is a review by Catherine of Better Than Before by Gretchen Rubin, which may help you understand your personal exercise habits or lack thereof.
15:28: What Can Your Family Not Do Without? — Wifi, of course. That's obvious. Electricity for charging things. But also books. Distractions. Routine. Heated seats. Goofy dogs. Canadian food? Yes.
22:50: Interview of the Week — Catherine talks to pediatric occupational therapist Meghan Corridan about drawing your child into drawing, using tools like Ed Emberley's book Goody Gumdrops and the apps Dipdap and Draw Along with Stella and Sam.
34:22: Shameless Self-Promotion — Catherine shares her whole entire website, About.com Family Fitness, which is full of exercise ideas; Terri plugs our Round 2 Parks and Recreation marathon and her new tumblrs IEP-izeit, Too Old for Cool., and, hey, Parenting Roundabout; Nicole touts our new Instagram account @prpodcast (which in fact appears as all lower case on Instagram and therefore does not require you to think of us as an oddcast); and Amanda shares the three-part series PlayerFM did about us cool and wise women.
Thanks as always to Jon Morin for producing our podcast and for our fun in-and-out music. If you're reading this somewhere without hyperlinks, come to http://parentingroundabout.com for the full recap experience.
We started this week's entertainment podcast with a look at this year's extremely lengthy Oscar ceremony -- the speeches, the dresses, the atrocious choices in music cues, the Girl Scout cookies, the presenter who should have to go sit in show-bis time-out for a good long while, and the attendee who appears to have had the best time at the ceremony, from the red carpet on. (For more of our Oscars impressions, view our live-tweet.)
From one marathon to another, we continue with our viewing and discussing of Parks and Recreation episodes, this week taking on "Flu Season" (one of Terri's favorite eps), "Time Capsule," "Ron and Tammy: Part II," and "Media Blitz." If you're watching along (and why aren't you?), next week we'll be chatting about "Indianapolis," "Harvest Festival," "Camping," and "Andy and April's Fancy Party."
We've got TV current and past this week, as Catherine reviews FX's The People v. O. J. Simpson and Terri is pretty sure she had enough of this story the first time around; and we continue our Parks and Recreation marathon, chatting about "Telethon," "The Master Plan," "Freddy Spaghetti," and "Go Big or Go Home," and look ahead to "Flu Season" (one of Terri's all-time faves!), "Time Capsule," "Ron and Tammy Part II," and "Media Blitz." Also, Terri's dog barks quite a bit. Everybody's a critic.
We watched the Grammy ceremony, all three-and-a-half hours of it (well, Catherine might have fast-forwarded some) to bring you our thoughts from late Monday night. It was a good night for music Terri likes, anyway. We discuss the musical numbers, the hairstyles, the Broadway incursion, and of course, the Tweets. Then we continued our Parks and Rec marathon with four Season 2 episodes, "The Possum," "Park Safety," "Summer Catalog," and "94 Meetings," as the April/Andy/Ann triangle builds and we await the arrival of Adam Scott and Rob Lowe. Those things will all progress with the episodes we have on deck for next week: "Telethon," "The Master Plan," and "Freddy Spaghetti" from Season 2 and "Go Big or Go Home" from Season 3. Watch along with us!
For today's entertainment chat, we stayed up after the Super Bowl to talk over the ads that we loved, hated, never want to see again, and expect to be seeing again and again as memes and hashtags. Also in the Super Bowl discussion are Lady Gaga's anthem, the colorful halftime program, the coming triumph of Twitter as our Super Bowl humor delivery system, and .. oh yeah, apparently there was some football played?
When we've had enough of that big event, we move on to a big event for this podcast, which is our ongoing Parks and Rec marathon. This time around, we chat about "Leslie's House," "Sweetums," "Galentine's Day," and "Woman of the Year," and look forward to next week's lineup of "The Possum," "Park Safety," "Summer Catalog," and "94 Meetings." Watch with us, won't you?
Last week, we recorded a Round 2 not once but twice, and both times it got lost somewhere in Dropbox-land and never made it to our editor. Fortunately, we were able to salvage one of those recordings, and we've embedded it into this week's super-long episodes, which now includes two 4-episode installments of our Parks and Rec marathon as well as our impressions Grease Live. We hope this podcast is live now, too, something we're never going to take for granted again. (If you're following along in our marathon, this podcast contains last week's eps, "Kaboom," "Greg Pikitis," "Ron and Tammy," and "The Camel," as well as this week's, "Hunting Trip" (see video), "Tom's Divorce," "Christmas Scandal," and "The Set-Up." Coming up next week: "Leslie's House," "Sweetums," "Galentine's Day," and "Woman of the Year.")
On this week's entertainment chat, Catherine reports in on The Martian, the box-office success and Oscar contender, which she watched in a hurry after her husband checked it out On Demand. Then Terri gives her take on The Last Five Years, the blink-and-you-missed it musical that she was inspired to seek out after a discussion on the Try it You'll Like It podcast and was happily surprised to find newly added on Netflix, for a rare "hey, the movie I'm looking for is actually on there!" search victory. Finally, they chat about the next four episodes in a Parks and Recreation marathon ("The Stakeout," "Beauty Pageant," "Practice Date," and "Sister City"). If you'd like to join in that marathon, up for next week are four more episodes from Season 2: "Kaboom," "Greg Pikitis," "Ron and Tammy," and "The Camel."
We didn't quite manage to watch the Golden Globes, though that doesn't keep us from having an opinion on the dresses. (Shoulders back, Kirsten Dunst!) Catherine hasn't quite kept up with her Downton Abbey viewing, but she's finding recaps (from the Fug Girls, Tom and Lorenzo, and the NY Times) at least as much fun as the actual show. Terri hasn't managed to get to the theater to see the latest Star Wars, but she knows the biggest spoiler about it since Undateable went ahead and blurted it out on Friday's episode. One bit of pop-culture viewing we did take seriously, though, was our Parks and Recreation marathon, which we kicked off with the first and last episodes of Season 1, "Pilot" and "Rock Show," and the first episode of Season 2, "Pawnee Zoo" (the start of which, in the video above, particularly tickled Catherine). If you'd like to watch along with us, for next week we'll be continuing on with the next four Season 2 episodes, "The Stakeout," "Beauty Pageant," "Practice Date," and "Sister City."
On the first Round 2 of the new year, Catherine and Terri look back on which entertainment product they consumed on New Year's Eve, how their DVR clearing is going, and what they've read and watched this week, including:
+ In Your Dreams by Kristan Higgins
+ Call the Midwife (book version) by Jennifer Worth
+ Water for Elephants, both book and movie
+ About Alex (and yes, come to think of it, as we discussed this movie's similarity to The Big Chill, we did accidentally say Phoebe Cates played the young girlfriend in that film when of course it was Meg Tilly. When you're old enough to remember The Big Chill, you're old enough to forget details, apparently.)
We're also plotting a marathon watch, probably of Parks and Recreation (and not Parenting Roundabout, as Terri initially said, although if you'd like to marathon our podcast, go right ahead!), although maybe of the first two seasons of The West Wing. Do you have a preference? Tell us in the comments here or on Facebook, or tweet at us.
If you're reading this somewhere without hyperlinks, come to http://parentingroundabout.com for the full recap experience.

An e-mail about a campaign to get Cosmo treated like a porn magazine because its dicey sexual content is harmful to minors got us thinking about magazines in general, whether minors think of them as a bad-for-you delivery system when they can get cable TV for free, and how much attention we ourselves even pay to magazines anymore. We chatted about the relative dangers of sexual content vs. unrealistic expectations of beauty and body image; our own experiences with magazines' promises of coolness and perfect dried-flower arrangements; whether anybody understands what wrapping something in a brown paper wrapper even means anymore; and the way that a world in which entertainment can be delivered instantaneously and in greater quantity than we can possibly consume makes waiting for an issue of a magazine to be delivered seem impossibly quaint.
One of the things we used to depend on magazines for was telling us how to dress (even though Seventeen deeply betrayed young Terri's trust), and now we're more likely to turn to Twitter for interpretations of dress codes and occasion-appropriate attire -- as both Catherine and NPR's Linda Holmes recently did. We shared our preferred freelance uniforms, our exhaustion at the prospect of dressing up, our search for perfectly comfortable footwear, and our trust in Pinterest to provide guidance for women of our particular demographic.
Finally, we mentioned our recommendations for the week. Catherine pointed us to an article titled "What Training for the Boston Marathon Taught Me About Fashion, and Myself" for further thoughts on the meaningfulness of what we wear; Amanda told everyone to go online shopping for clothes that you don't have to go somewhere and try on in front of a nasty mirror (to which Terri added that the website Mode-sty will help you find things that won't show your underwear like you're a twentysomething Cosmo reader); Nicole gave us her Pinterest search formula; and Terri talked about a "podcast upfront" she attended featuring NPR podcast hosts and a lot of talk about the significance and future of podcasts, commentary on which you can find by looking up the #HearItUpfront hashtag on Twitter, where you may come upon this photo of the back of Terri's head and the green shirt she chose to wear).
Thanks as always to Jon Morin for producing our episode and Kristin Eredics for our happy in-and-out music. (If you're reading this description somewhere without hyperlinks, come to http://parentingroundabout.com for the full recap experience.)
