Kick off the new year with Anne and Heather as they once again keep their promise to "circle back"! That's right, every ten episodes, we revisit the random tangents we boldly wandered into without a map—because nothing says podcasting excellence like fact-checking... eventually.

This time, we're diving into the charming history of American Girl Dolls (the nostalgia is real), the fascinating world of the East Opera Company (bringing high notes to unexpected places), and the internet challenges that made us all question humanity (cinnamon and milk gallons, anyone?). Plus, we geek out on STEAM education, explore the global magic of Ubuntu (it's not just fun to say), and debate whether pickleball is a wholesome pastime or an orthopedic surgeon's dream.

Whether you're here for laughs, learning, or the fun of watching us try to stay focused, this one's for you.
