  • 051 Should I Hunt? And How to get Started Hunting, Jayson Sacco of Outdoor Adventures with Jayson
    I've always been interested in hunting but was hesitant to try it because of two reasons. First off, I was never sure if it was ethical and didn't know if I could actually kill a living thing. Secondly, I never even knew how to get started and where to try it out myself. So I got a hunter, Jayson Sacco, on the show to talk about these things and share his perspective. Jayson shares a ton of information like the difference between conservation and preservation, how to get started hunting, and much, much more!

  • 042 Why Girls Wear Pink & Boys Wear Blue, Dress Historian Jo Paoletti

    It's something we rarely think about but why do we dress girls in pink and boys in blue? Is it ok for boys to play with unicorns or for girls to like dinosaurs?

    To uncover the answers, dress historian Jo Paoletti looked at advertising, catalogs, dolls, baby books, mommy blogs and discussion forums, and other popular media to examine the surprising shifts in attitudes toward color as a mark of gender in American children's clothing. She chronicles the decline of the white dress for both boys and girls, the introduction of rompers in the early 20th century, the gendering of pink and blue, the resurgence of unisex fashions, and the origins of today's highly gender-specific baby and toddler clothing.
