Season Two: Another Teaser With Amy and Kate

Episode 22: “Pickle Rick” from Rick and Morty by Jessica Gao with Amy Winters

Well, Dear Listeners, we’re getting gross and into therapy this episode with “Pickle Rick” from Rick and Morty, selected by our very own Amy Winters! We touch on the boring work of mental health, the challenge of being “too smart” for therapy, the Shakespearean nature of Rick and Morty, the power of acceptance, and the opportunity to get it on with an alternative universe version of yourself.

Episode 21: F is For Fake by Orson Welles with Eric Hunt

Get out your lie detectors and fedoras, Dear Listeners, as we wade through the drama and deception of Orson Welles’ “F for Fake” with writer Eric Hunt.  The conversation examines the boundaries of truth and art, the release of anonymity, the hope of legacy, and looks to answer the question- is this even a podcast? (Spoiler alert- it is!)

Season Two: Another Teaser With Amy and Kate

We're back, Dear Listeners, and we've missed you! We hope you've missed us too. We're kicking off Season Two with this teaser, and all new episodes, some recorded last year and some this year. We're working real hard to find that light among all this dark, and hope you continue to join us as we go Finding Good Bones.

Episode 20: Magic for Marigold by L. M. Montgomery with Calandra Lindstadt

In this episode, Dear Listeners, Calandra Lindstadt takes us to Prince Edward Island and lost centuries with L.M. Montogmery’s Magic for Marigold. It’s a conversation with musings on the beauty and challenge of generations of family living close to one another, the joy of a sassy, judgey grandmother, the gift of independence, the power that can be found in surrendering to a good death. But please, don’t mention any Anne of Green Gables adaptations other than the 1985 CBC and PBS version, and don’t call us late for dinner.

A Very Special “Day After the 2024 Election” Episode with Kate and Amy

Dear Listeners, the day after the 2024 Presidential Election many people were (are) feeling a WAY. So we decided to make a very special episode of Finding Good Bones, in case you need help sitting with the dark and looking towards the light. Kate and Amy bring some of the pieces speaking to them right now: “Hope Is the Thing With Feathers” by Emily Dickinson, “Hope Is Not a Bird, Emily, It’s a Sewer Rat” by Caitlin Seida, Carpe Jugulum by Terry Pratchett. There’s no political analysis, but there IS a free roaming three year old and at least one musical break. The discussion includes morality, mothering, niceness vs. kindness, an inevitable reckoning, and different ways hope can show up - a bird, a sewer rat, sometimes even a toddler.
