Distant Friends of Dorothy

Ever felt like Dorothy, tossed into a whirlwind of life's demands and enchantments? This week, my co-host and I whirl through a kaleidoscope of topics, from the dark origins of children's classics like Oz to the pressing issues of modern parenthood. We reminisce about the simpler times of baking cheesecakes with friends, only to be pulled back by the gravity of a friend's life-threatening medical scare. It's a chat loaded with laughter, life lessons, and the occasional existential quandary, offering a slice of life as rich and varied as the cheesecake we made.
Join us as we meander through conversations that touch on everything from the evolving language of gender identity to the timeless traditions of Easter. We'll share a moment of communal mourning for the victims of a recent tragedy and find solace in the nostalgic embrace of vintage video games. But it's not all heavy hearts and retrospective musings; get ready for some practical advice on preventing boiled eggs from cracking and how to juggle the demands of academic achievements with the joys of raising little ones.
Prepare to ride an emotional rollercoaster as we cover the peculiarities of pet dental care, the hilarity of award mix-ups, and the nitty-gritty of Canadian government workers' paychecks. We'll open up about personal accolades in teacher education, the quirks of family traditions, and the very real concern of managing finances with the deductions that come out of our hard-earned pay. It's a conversation that's as diverse as our lives themselves—a mix of professional insights, personal reflections, and those candid moments that make you chuckle and nod in agreement.
