What happens when a sleep-deprived mom of a 10-month-old quietly walks out the door on a Saturday morning... and doesn’t come back until evening?

Let’s just say: There were diapers.
There were screams.
There was pizza.

This episode isn’t just about parenting. Whether you're a mom, a dad, or just someone who’s ever felt taken for granted—this one’s for you. And yeah, there’s a happy ending 😆 (but only after a little bit of fire).

Hey, there! This one’s for your tongue. We’re talking wild Ukrainian sounds — the kind that stretch your mouth, test your patience, and make you feel like a linguistic badass.
You’ll learn why long Ukrainian words are delicious like borshch (not scary), how to tame the beastly “И”, and finally roll your Rs like a Ukrainian tractor. Warning: tongue twisters ahead. But don’t worry — we’ve got your back (and your mouth).

Reading Text: Привіт, час для граматики — і цього разу ми тренуємо язик. Ми говоримо про дикі українські звуки — ті самі, що розтягують рот, випробовують терпіння і змушують відчути себе мовною зіркою. Ви дізнаєтесь, чому довгі українські слова такі ж смачні, як борщ.

This episode is all about Ukrainian food and drinks — the real stuff. No clichés, no propaganda, just honest answers to your spicy questions. Let’s go:

- Is borscht Russian or Ukrainian?
- Do we really eat only meat and potatoes? ...

- And yes… do Ukrainians cry over bread?

This one’s cozy, cultural, and a little chaotic. Like grandma’s kitchen after a wedding.

Once upon a time, a woman brought home an old, sick dog.
Her husband said, “It’s me or the dog.” So she chose the dog. This story has heartbreak, healing, and one happy tail. And yes, there’s love in the end — just not the way she expected.

Now tell us: What would you do if someone made you choose like that?

Let’s get weird with Ukrainian grammar — your brain will thank you later. In this episode, we say "I have" in Ukrainian — and no, it’s not as boring as it sounds. You’ll learn“I have a brother”, “They have sisters”, and why Ukrainians don’t just copy the English way. (Spoiler: They’ve got their own cool system.) We’ll play with endings, talk about cases (don’t panic), and even meet the verb мати face to face.

Hey! It’s Larissa here — and today I’m in a mood that smells like vanilla, sausage, and just a hint of pussy willow. Because we’re diving into Easter, Ukrainian style!

I hope you've already shaken out your blankets, dug out that Easter basket from the back of your closet, and stocked up on eggs by the dozen. This holiday episode is packed with good stuff — and trust me, Ukrainian Easter is anything but boring! There will be greetings, baking, egg decorating, and yes... a bit of egg combat (don’t worry, it’s just a tradition 😄)
