Rerun: That Sounds Very Christopher Columbus



We’re on a winter break, so we’re bringing you a few of our older faves while we spend some time getting ready for the new year! We hope you’re enjoying your holidays and that you’ll tune in for new episodes in January 2020!
———
If you’re anything like us, you scroll news reports reading only the headlines and spend copious amounts of time digesting the latest happenings of the entertainment world. And *maybe* you have the occasional conversation about how to raise moderately good human beings.

We’re talking today about how to raise inclusive kids, and we’re adding your advice to the convo! Some things we do and some things we need to start doing are all on the table, and we’re also touching on how we as adults can model behavior for these little people (both in good and bad ways.)

But first, the Emmy’s, do shows stand the test of time, and a little talk about poverty and homelessness to whet our appetites for a discussion about raising inclusive kids! Naturally.

Looking for links on some of the things we discussed today?

We put women in a category



Today we’re sitting down to talk about Representative Katie Hill resigning after her personal photos were released without her permission, and the standards that women are held to as opposed to men. What do you think?

We talked about a podcast we’re loving lately called American Girls, and this episode in particular was so insightful and gave us a lot to think about. We hope you’ll check it out too.

Eh, it’ll be fine



It’s book club day! This is our first take on a podcast version of a book club, and we already have ideas of what we’d like to do differently next time. If you have some thoughts, shoot us an email at agoodideapod@gmail.com or message us on Instagram @agoodideapod! We’d also love suggestions on what book we should all read next.

But before we get into The Virtue of Sin by Shannon Schuren, we talk a little about what’s going on around the world of women today. This video from James Corden is the one we discuss about fat shaming, and it’s worth the watch.

I’m judging you for that



Hey-ohhh we’ve got books to talk about! We took a break last week and focused on tv but this week we’re back with some thoughts on what we’re reading. Here’s a list of the books we talked about:

Savage News, by Jessica Yellin
Unbreakables, by Lisa Barr
The Incendiaries, by R.O. Kwon
Ordinary People, by Diana Evans

Also, if you’re interested, grab a copy of The Virtue of Sin by Shannon Schuren and read along with the gang at A Good Idea pod!

Here’s another thing we think is pretty great: Sex Ed is changing! Check out more over at NBC News.


The Internet is Everyone’s District



This week, we have a plethora of good reads by women authors before we talk with some more transparency about finances and where we find it necessary to splurge, but it doesn’t feel like a splurge. We’re talking B-level priorities that make it into our monthly budgets. One of us splurges on being healthy, and one splurges on take-out. You can probably guess which is which.

We also talk about Joy for Charlotte, a Kindness Movement that April and Christina, good friends of the pod, (@carolinacharm and @smidgeofthis) are kicking off to spread joy around the world. The message is one that we wholly believe in, and we hope you’ll check this out and spread a little extra kindness today. To read more about this, check out Christina’s post.

Also, if you listen on release day (Wednesday, July 31) it’s Caroline’s birthday! Head over to our IG @agoodideapod to shoot her good wishes for the following year. Here’s hoping that the next year brings new feelings that don’t include the buzzword “haggard.”

What’s the most ambitious thing you’ve ever done?



We took a break last week, and we’re back to talk movies, books, and ambition! Do you feel ambitious? Do you think everyone needs to be ambitious? We’re getting into it today.

DM me for my list



The FIFA Women’s World Cup, Taylor Swift’s new video, and Big Little Lies season 2. We’ve got some big talking points for this week’s episode, and we’ve also got some funky sound thanks to a new recording set up. Bear with us as we work out the kinks!

We want to know about authenticity on social media. How do you achieve it? Is it necessary? And where did this trend of keeping it real come from, anyway?

How do you improve your relationship with food?



Did you know that one state currently has a history-making majority female state assembly? And that North Carolina’s governor is doing some pretty great things for women? And that Countess Luann has a cabaret show?

It’s all on the docket today, and then we’re talking about our relationships with food and alcohol. Are they healthy? Are we happy? We asked you to weigh in, and we’re breaking it all down PLUS one of us is getting insulted, pretty regularly, by the other. We’ll let you figure out which is which.

Hannah was talking about a few IG accounts for that push body positivity. What are they?
Check out @talmeshak and @lovethyself365


R.I.P. to my hopes and dreams



Today we’re hitting on a couple of heavy topics before we talk about the Met Gala (we’re only over a week late), Kim K in Charlotte, and what we’ve been watching on TV (good AND bad. Looking at you, GoT.)

It sounded like a good idea to get your thoughts on things that weigh heavily on women, specifically, and you delivered! We’re bringing up some listener input today and we hope you feel seen, heard, and get a few laughs in along the way.

Ahh I don’t want Game of Thrones spoilers!
No worries! Just skip from around 25 minutes until 37 minutes. But come back later and listen in!
