Where can Daniel find an artistic community without paying for one?

Where can Daniel find an artistic community without paying for one?

That's a wrap on National Poetry Month 2022! And a wrap on this special series of the pod! But we'll be back. Maybe for National Hot Dog Month (July) or Banana Pudding Lovers Month (November). Hopefully sooner! But in this final April 2022 episode, we talk MFA programs. Are they a necessity when trying to build an artistic community? Can our new friend Daniel find like-minded folks to collaborate with in a less conventional (and less expensive) environment? We hope so, cause he's our friend and we CARE about him!

Can Vicky have an adult relationship with her parents?

We all struggle to have that perfect parent/child relationship that the Kardashian/Jenners have. But sometimes it's harder than being born into wealth. It can often mean work, and no one wants to work these days... We don't know why there's been three digs at America's first family in this episode description, especially given they're not mentioned once in this episode or even alluded to. Anyway, Vicky wants help forming an adult relationship with her parentals and boy have we got ideas, both from our brains and from our recommendations. Enjoy this episode (possibly with a tissue nearby) and enjoy the occasional keyboard clicks Lisann didn't edit out because she doesn't want to work

Can we help Madari escape the grind (culture)?

"Now That We’re Ladders," "Now That We’re Undergirds," "Now That We’re Subtweeting," "Making Anne Feel Good"? It's been a looong couple of years. We think we remember the name of the podcast. We know there's a song... Anyway, Madari is tired of grind culture. Same. It's 9:33pm on a Friday as we're typing this... But is it "grinding" if it's with friends? That's a question for another episode. For now, we're tackling work/life balance, identifying with your career, thanking God it's Monday (who does this?), being very busy, also telling people we're "very busy." And what it all has to do with that one time Coach Beard was on mushrooms during a game on Ted Lasso. You can find out more about this week's recommendations below. It's still 2019 right? Caro 1.

Now That We're Quarantined LIVE... on Zoom

Well, *sigh*, things sure have changed since we last caught up with Anne, Caroline, Gale and Producer Lisann. Since O,Miami's annual April festival went O,nline, we gathered via Zoom at 3:05 PM on April 11th, 2020 for our first "live" episode of Now That We're Friends. We went through a few listener questions about life in quarantine. We read our favorite isolation poems and played our go-to lonely jams. We speculated on how we'll react to each another once we're all out in the open again. And we talked about how we're essentially in a time portal right now. So hop into the time portal that is this episode, where your new friends will great you on the other side with the best recs!
