May 24, 2024 Episode 09: How It’s Made
Smoke! Mirrors! Some sleight of hand! A tiger! A disappearing man! European adventures! And lots of discussion about green beans!
On today’s show, we’re pulling back the curtain and going behind the scenes to explore ‘how it's made.’ From how to create a stage illusion, to how an author’s ideas become a published book, and how to make the most out of a summer adventure in Europe, Episode 09 is chock full of true stories and top-secret tips.

May 17, 2024 Episode 08: I Was Wrong
Quicksand! Pickles! Licorice! Dolly Parton! And lots of DUNKS! Episode 08 of Friday Candy the Podcast is all about change - specifically, how our ideas and perspectives change over time; as we grow up and gain new knowledge and experiences. Sometimes, this change is as easy as giving a second chance to a food that used to ick you out. Other times, in order to change, we need to acknowledge that we were wrong before we can move on. This might mean apologizing to someone or asking for forgiveness. Or it might just mean being truly honest with ourselves. I used to think or feel one way, but now I have new information and my thinking has changed. And that’s okay.

May 10, 2024 Episode 07: Wonders!
Marvelous! Mysterious! Magical! Mystical! WONDERFUL! Today’s show is all about WONDERS!
From the mysterious things that we wonder about to those magical moments in life that take us by surprise and leave us with a lasting sense of beauty. In today's EPIC episode, we (like Odysseus!) wander the wide world and encounter wonder at every turn; from the Pyramids of Giza to the gargoyles of Paris to 'Peter Pan Land', and from the innocent days of childhood to the vast mysteries of the here and now! This is our biggest episode yet and features an in-depth look inside Ashlyn's private 'Book of Wonders,' plus a especially wonderful Joy Report!

May 03, 2024 Episode 06: Minimal-ish
Time travel! Camel rides! Sand surfing! A Viking yurt and a very jazzy jer repert! Today’s show is all about ‘the stuff of life’…the stuff we buy, the stuff we collect, the stuff we keep and the stuff we give away. But even more than that, this episode is about our ever-changing relationship to our stuff - from the clothes we wear to the homes we live in. So, whether you think of yourself as a minimalist or a maximalist (or somewhere in between) we hope that today’s show is a good reminder to focus on the things that truly matter the most in life. Those things that aren’t even things at all. On today’s show, we share our tips for living a minimal-ish lifestyle. And we also talk a lot about ladders (surprisingly). This episode features music by John Roseboro, Kyle Cox, Franc Castillejos, and Museo. Our theme music is by Robin Quin. Special thanks to Chad Snavely of Sound On Studios for his help with the audio production.

April 19, 2024 Episode 05: When I Grow Up
Ashlyn the dolphin-trainer! Austin as Paris' worst tour guide! Guess that job! Scrooge McDuck money! Ancient Greek wisdom! Honky tonkin'! Indiana Jones! Pretty good life advice from Uncle Austin! And, of course, an all new jer reperts! Today’s show is all about growing up and going to work. Whether that’s teaching, raising kids, building decks, or decoding ancient messages like Indiana Jones - there are about a million jobs out there and, honestly, most of them are pretty fascinating. So whatever kind of work you do, or wherever you are in your personal career journey, we hope that today’s show inspires you to keep on keeping on!

April 12, 2024 Episode 04: The Gloves Are Comin' Off
Disputes! Disagreements! Debates! Episode 04 is all about (mostly petty) conflicts. It's our longest episode yet (sorry, not sorry!) and features all kinds of fisticuffs. Of course, sometimes our petty differences can be very serious. Other times…not so much. From listeners’ petty disputes to our own domestic disagreements, goat blessings, dinner roll thievery, a Grandma named 'Mama', some sauna drama, the mysteries of the ⁠Enneagram⁠, sage relationship advice from the ⁠Gottman Institute⁠, and a new Spanish Summer cocktail recipe called a ‘Tween-toe de Verano!’ Seriously, Episode 04 is a bit unhinged - just the way we like it!

April 05, 2024 Episode 03: Becoming Mom and Dad
Home birth! A dark and stormy night! Magical midwives! An epic road trip! Beyoncé! Babies on bikes! Super love! And, obviously, Thor, the God of Thunder!
.
Today’s show is our biggest and most personal yet. 'Becoming Mom and Dad' is all about the transition into parenthood - that strange and sacred transformation from normal, peaceful, relatively rational adults into…well…into parenthood. But don’t worry, we’ve done our best to avoid sob stories about diaper-changing and night feeding - although those struggles are very real! Instead, today’s episode is a celebration of the change and growth that happens whenever you welcome a new little human into your life.

Featuring some of our favorite travel tales from Italy, Switzerland, and the Greek Islands as well as a thoughtful conversation about the practical realities of moving from the US to Denmark (and then Spain), Episode 02 is a mixed bag of international mishaps, missteps, and hilarious misadventures! Also, Episode 02 includes an new and basically unhinged edition of the 'Joy Report!'
