It’s summer and we’re lazy so we’re doing a movie instead of a book. We liked Mary Poppins Returns way more than we thought we would and we’re analyzing the four act structure.
We also have two special guests, Alma (age 4) and Romeo, a visiting dog friend.
If that’s not enough, we also dive into the fact that Nora’s a Rebel and I’m an Obliger, as defined by Gretchen Rubin’s Four Tendencies framework.
You can also listen using any number of podcast platforms and apps including Spotify, Breaker, Pocket Casts, Radio Public, Stitcher, and Google Podcasts.
