May 18, 2026 452. Shark Vacuum Lovers with Charley Burlock
On today’s episode of IGTBO, Charley Burlock – one of our favorite guests from our sister show, Thanks for Asking – joins Nora and is locked, loaded, and ready to make your day more OK. The universe itself blessed this episode with the Shark vacuum (Charley’s favorite AND a company Nora’s late father wrote infomercials for), brave farmers refusing to hand over their land to data centers, the beauty of spontaneous kindness, and younger Charley’s trail of adoring fan letters to every author she loved.
If your news feeds have been inundated with only the bad, click play on this episode. We’re here with you. It’s going to be OK.
Read Charley’s article “The AI Companies Trying to Make Grief Obsolete” here.

April 20, 2026 450. A Goose-Forward Home with Sharon McMahon
Here on IGTBO, we're not about toxic positivity -- we're about finding things that are good even when the world is dark. Today's guest, Sharon McMahon -- a fellow tall woman -- brought her OK things, including geese, being in a goose-forward household, and the acts of kindness that can change the trajectory of your life.
For any long-time fans of IGTBO, this is a classic bird episode, and we couldn’t be happier.

You know what makes things feel more okay? Kelly Corrigan, the host of Kelly Corrigan Wonders and the author of so many wonderful books (my favorite is Tell Me More).

February 18, 2026 446. The Return of Ralph: It’s Going to be OK
Things are not good in the world right now, and you don’t need us to tell you that. But despair is also not good. Having no hope is not good. And Nora believes that the antidote to despair is action – doing things for others in whatever capacity you can. So she and her son Ralph are bringing back IGTBO for you as an exercise in seeing the OK things in the world around you, even when it seems like all hope is lost.
