Spare Time the Pod

June 2022


Listen Later

Summer is here, and so are so many of the things we love: berries, picnics, coastal grandmother vibes. Notably missing: our humans rights! What a rollercoaster! We discuss all this, plus Daily Harvest lentilgate, our rapidly deteriorating corporeal form, and the power of friendship bracelets. Featuring an appearance from a special guest: the IRS! 


SHOW NOTES ⬇️⬇️⬇️

How did you spend your spare time this month:

  • AA: SUMMERING: blueberry picking, weddings, capture the flag, cape cod, swimming, falling asleep on the couch 
  • MM: flying across the world, realizing I am old, becoming a mother 🐱🐱

Best/Worst:

  • Best MM: Indian food in India (mango lassis, chai, paneer), but since that is high-key a copout, Pride ~conceptually~
  • Best AA: Friendship Bracelet / Chocolate Cream Pie from Flour Bakery 
  • Worst MM: realizing I hate summer squash and losing our basic rights
  • Worst AA: the VA tax office 

Spare Time Rec:

  • AA: Picnicking: Halloumi with Corn, Cherry Tomatoes, and Basil, Ginger Dill Salmon, Kale and Sugar Snap Pea Salad
  • MM: Muna’s self-titled album

Culture / 3 Things You Need to Know:

  1. Daily Harvest lentilgate
  2. The One That Got Away feat. Betty Who
  3. American Girl Doll meme explosion - thank you @hellicity_merriman

Look Ahead:

  • AA: maintaining my Coastal Grandma Lifestyle, reuniting with friends in NYC and Philly, turning 31, reading outside, hanging with my babes 
  • MM: a very chaotic July awaits: another Indian wedding (but this time in Virginia), a week long work conference in Orlando, another work thing in PA, and testing out my MOH skills at a bachelorette party
  • Book club ep - discussing our May book, Yerba Buena by Nina LaCour, and our June book, Easy Beauty by Chloe Cooper Jones
