Children, in all their innocence, have a way of making us think.  That was certainly the case when Elizabeth’s seven-year-old asked, “Mama, what’s a terrorist?”  In today’s podcast, Elizabeth reads the blog post “Good and Evil.”  Afterward, she and Jamie briefly discuss their personal experiences from 9/11 – the bad and the blessings.

Hopped Up on Oprah is a distillation of what happens when Elizabeth watches inspirational Olympic commercials and Oprah’s acceptance speech for her lifetime achievement award in the same time frame.

She gets all jacked up about what we are all capable of…really great things.  It is a well-known fact that sometimes Elizabeth practices her Oscar speech in the bathroom after a long, hot shower.  You’re never too old to use a hairbrush as a microphone, folks.  In this podcast, Jamie and Elizabeth talk about peaks and valleys, the wonders of anti-anxiety meds, and wonder that is real life.

Stick around for a surprise at the very end.  Sometimes it gets a little loosey-goosey in the studio!

Snowglobe is all you think it is: a romantic ice-skate on a snowy night in Washington, DC.  Elizabeth and Jamie talk candidly about the blessing to their marriage that was their fresh start in DC, naivety working in one’s favor, and a Thanksgiving that lives in infamy.
