Wyatt and Mary settle in for a conversation around accountability and how empathy and reflection are required when righting a wrong. They discuss the similarities between institutional and personal accountability and how it feels when someone recognizes your humanity. Also on the agenda: a twist on an old classic of Gay or Straight, the Real Housewives cinematic universe, and poems by Lucia Misch and Agha Shahid Ali.

S4 E1: New Beginnings, Kindnesses, and Nicola Salmon

Great news -- Mary & Wyatt still have a podcast! But a bunch of terrible things are happening in the world. Auntie M. & Papa W. settle in at the dining room table to catch up on the last couple of months and talk about how the world is responding to the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the Middle East. They talk about maintaining your humanity & humility in the face of horrific events and how they are struggling to do both. Also on the agenda: Mary's film is eligible for an Oscar nom, Wyatt finally got a bird tattoo, and poems by Naomi Shihab Nye and Lisa Jarnot.  

S3 E15: Mary & Wyatt Talk Israel & Palestine

Wyatt and Mary snuggle up on the couch for a conversation about everything from the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City to the cost of college and—surprise, surprise—complaining about Republicans. They also spend some time talking about the power of platitudes and how good we are at tricking ourselves into tolerating icky situations. Also on the agenda: Turnip’s emotional manipulation and poems by Robbie Q. Telfer, Jane Mead, and Uma Menon. 

S3 E14: Unions, Real Housewives, and Non-Binary 'Staches

Mary and Wyatt pause Vanderpump Rules long enough to record the podcast. They talk about their obsession with this generation's greatest reality show and then move on to a discussion of their shifting relationship with substances... namely weed. They also talk about the Barbie movie, which they thought was... pretty good. Also on the agenda: Gay or Straight? and poems by Shelby Handler and Brandon Shimoda.
