Easy Listening

This week we learned that Gina's dad was the good version of a Karen - calling to speak with the manager to rave positively about food at a restaurant. Can we please make "being a Steve" a thing? #beasteve

The happiest of birthdays to Teresa Strasser! We wish her a year of health, happiness, love, and good podcasting.

We probably won't hold a grudge if you don't listen to this week's episode of Easy Listening...but why risk it?? Listen as we kibbitz over The Science of Happiness podcast, with a focus on the "How to give up a grudge” episode. ow.ly/wqcn50F2E2m

We are wondering how Sue Klebold keeps going after what her son did. How does she manage to write a book, give a TED talk, or go to the grocery store where she may be confronted by victims' families, instead of hide under her comforters all day? She seems to have a strong WHY.

"What remains really tells the story of a life." You can't take it with you, but what you leave tells your story. On Stay Away from Matthew Magill, Eric Mennel discovers the fascinating life of Magill by going through the detritus left when he died. ow.ly/LzDg50ENiOY

Happy Mother's Day to all the baseball moms, adopted moms, new moms, tired moms, chauffeur moms, stay-at-home moms, working-crazy-hours moms, microwave-meal or gourmet-food moms, disciplinarian moms, and fun moms. We think you should be celebrated every day! #mothersday

This week, we talk Gina's upcoming nuptials (!!) and the pod Bridechilla, great for anyone stressed by centerpieces, seating arrangements, and overbearing family members. Aleisha McCormack helps you ditch the stress and plan the wedding YOU want. ow.ly/VMX550EHpaS

Happy Cinco de Mayo! Celebrate with Gina's delicioso chicken taco salad. ow.ly/2tRW50EFDgr Did you know: Cinco de Mayo is a relatively minor holiday in Mexico, but in the U.S. has has evolved into a commemoration of Mexican culture and heritage?

Celebrating National Bombshell Day... xoxo 💋

Did you hear our first spotlight last week? This could be you, if you join Patreon at the Mishpocheh level. (Mishpocheh means family, and we always take care of family...that's a little Sopranos influence right there.) ow.ly/IE8V50EBQlb

We know what you need - more true crime pods! That's why this week, we review Your Own Backyard, a true crime series about the unsolved murder of Kristin Smart. Though it may remain unsolved, new evidence has surfaced, directly resulting from this series! ow.ly/nWJM50Ewxxv

We have a new sponsor, and it's literally the cutest thing. Habicats is a subscription service that sends you a new, cleverly-designed and aesthetically pleasing play-space for your cat each month. 😹 We think it's time to become cat ladies. habicats.com

Who doesn't love a good mom podcast? Okay, Teresa Strasser doesn't. BUT, Raising Good Humans with Dr. Aliza W. Pressman is different! What parent isn't trying to raise good humans (at least; if not the next Super Bowl MVP). @ginagrad ow.ly/hDC850EpLCR

Have we mensch-ened Patreon lately? ow.ly/wwoo50Eo2H0

@missmayim's Breakdown is the neuroscience podcast you've been waiting for. (You've been waiting, right?) We were, though we didn't realize until we listened. That's podcasts: you learn stuff you never know you wanted to know! ow.ly/PGUQ50ElemE

@GinaGrad‘s lovely understatement upon discovering Carly Simon’s not-so-humble beginnings. Did you know Carly Simon is of the Simon & Schuster Simons????

@NoNarrativeNews @bwestcineaste @GinaGrad @teresastrasser Woo! Thanks for the love :)

@bwestcineaste @EasyListeningTG with @GinaGrad and @teresastrasser Great podcast.

Name a podcast you listen to that features at minimum 50% women — not just sometimes but always. For bonus points, name a film podcast. I’ll wait.

We use the word "sus" a lot around here, but when it comes to Woody Allen and Dylan Farrow, we feel like it's legit to use. You don't have to know (or, apparently, you do) #MeToo to know that this whole sitch is super SUS. ow.ly/6RE250EfHDD

Happy Passover from your favorite podcasting Jewesses. ✡️ We might not be able to eat leavened products, but having you listen raises our spirits (see what we did there 😏). #jewishhumor
