It Sounded like a Good Idea at the Time

Daily Mail: THAT co-host shocks with description of stevia’s SLIPPERY mouthfeel and UNWELCOME mentions of menstrual cups. Show notes: Compliment Caroline’s house (too late, it’s under contract! Papier mache pubs notwithstanding) Also, we recorded this more than 6 weeks ago. Caroline now lives in another house and unpacked these tracks along with a million boxes. Here we are!

It’s been 84 years… since we stopped cancelling on each other and hit “record”, diving deep (had to) into our complicated thoughts about billionaires visiting the Titanic wreckage. There’s plenty of room for you on the door to hear us discuss our recent reads, tunes we’re bopping to (new JoBros + Curse Word T. Swift), and Caroline assigns Mallory some cult-y homework. This episode is brought to you by Nixie sparkling water and Kelly Clarkson’s “Chemistry”.

Gwyneth has exited the courtroom, and we're entering your ears for our semi-regular return.Recorded 8 days ago, we specialize in the old news you're tired of, therapy insights, and the general goings on plaguing suburban women across the country.

We're back. Or, we were a week ago, when we recorded. Inside this episode are some reactions to the old-news-now Murdaugh conviction, the to-be-sentenced guesses, which are still old news. Plus Caroline tries to turn Mallory into her therapist again. We hope you listen!

A much-delayed podcast episode derailed by stomach bugs, upset children, and the general mayhem of life as adults. But alas, she's here! And in this episode we explore "Lornos," what the worst candy is to put inside a piñata, and why it's best to just try to emulsify those old emotions.

It's a deep dive episode into "virginal stripper dancing," as well as the intoxicating allure of filters. And most importantly, where do we draw the line when it comes to beauty choices... especially when they're influenced by social media.

Mallory and Caroline really weed through their personal dossier of roadkill stories, which to everyone's surprise, was quite a few. Then really drill down on the problem with resolutions and the personal mantras they're focusing on for the year ahead. PLUS join Caroline in wishing the happiest birthday to Mallory.

Mallory and Caroline are back today with a recap of the perils of socializing, the benefits of two and three dimensional childcare, some final thoughts on the omnipresent Duke and Duchess-of-Nothing-Anymore. Plus, we worship Anne Helen Peterson's latest work and dive into why homesteading is so polarizing - and meaningful?

Well, well, well. What do we have here? Santa's sleigh and eight tiny reindeer? No, how about a refreshed pod, and a brand new co-host (but we still give the original a nod). That was a really poetic stretch, but look, this is just for you. And we hope you love this season of It Sounded Like a Good Idea at the Time as much as you used to.

This week, Caroline is joined again by friend of the pod and friend of real life, Mallory Moyer. How does one top an episode with Caro Chambers? Well. We probably don’t. But we try. And Mallory is the best possible option! Caroline and Mallory do their best to refrain from talking about Peloton but do chat plenty about books and shows and dive into how we’re all just sitting ducks waiting to be poached by an MLM.

This week Caroline’s back for our first post-Hannah era episode... not entirely happily, but it’s fine. It’s always fine. Mallory Moyer, friend of the pod, joins Caroline as the podcast’s first special cohost and dives into her experience as an early Twitter adopter, original blogger, and how social media has shifted since the early days. Plus, book recommendations, including the tome Mallory recommended to Caroline that she shilled real dollars for; thoughts on the new royal (is she or isn’t she) baby name; Kathy Hilton as a national treasure and more!

We're wrapping up the month of April with a round-up of our favorite things of late. Books, tv shows, et. al. are included in this episode, and naturally we include quite a few of our very NOT favorite things as well. Plus some commentary on the Oscars s*** show (only one of us watched) and the latest YA fantasy that we're into (only one of us is reading it.)

Today we have a somber discussion at the beginning of the episode (Trigger Warning: police violence) about the shooting of another black man by law enforcement. We're also getting into some things that women have been up to lately on a large scale, and how it applies to our daily lives and us at the end of the pandemic. Influencers at different levels, some book and tv recs, and our usual back and forth. Do you have something you want us to discuss on the pod?
