When we started researching this episode, some of us (Liz) knew little to nothing about the last Queen of France, Marie Antoinette. 38 pages of notes later, we learned a LOT. So much so that it took 48 minutes to get to the "Let them eat cake" portion of the program. Join us as we discuss this iconic figure, the highs and lows of her reign and why pretty much everything we know about her is all wrong.

In our season 2 premiere, we're discussing heading back to school! We know how hard it can be for kids and parents alike so we have compiled some of our favorite back to school topics: our feelings as parents, what's cool to wear, tips to ease the transition and school supplies. And speaking of school supplies, we dive into the surprisingly VERY dark history of everyone's favorite cartoonist, Lisa Frank. From her early break through her tumultuous reign as queen of the trapper keeper, we discuss it all, including one very strange tie to Eminem??

We are so glad to be back for season 2!
