That Other F Word episodes
- Year 2 Wrap Up!
Last year was a beast, but it gave us some excellent material and so much to learn. We spend this episode reflecting back on last year’s episodes: what we learned and which were our faves.
Theme music is “Get Happy Now” by Podington Bear.
35 min - Leave the Piano Scarf Out of It: Insurrection at the Capitol
Just like everyone else, we can’t stop thinking about the insurrection at the Capitol of our country. We talk about it all, including Elizabeth from Knoxville. (We refuse to believe she’s from here.)
Theme music is “Get Happy Now” by Podington Bear.
1 hr 9 min - Can’t We All Just Get Along?
The election is over, but the effects are still here, as is the pandemic. Is it better to ignore politics for the sake of maintaining relationships? What are the lines that just can’t be crossed? How do we coexist?

- Submit with Joy
Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s recent appointment to the Supreme Court brought her membership in the organization People of Praise to the attention of the country. Justice Barrett was lauded by some on the right for being a woman who submits to her husband with joy. What does that mean and why oh why would she do that?
