SEASON 4 EPISODE 6: OPENNESS
We’re delving into the theme of openness this week - what does it mean to be receptive to new ideas and opinions? How do you invite it and encourage it? And we continue to explore how we express and build identity as we grow up.
Cath dreads going back to school, but in the end, forces herself to go back to finish out the year. She manages to have a conversation about the unfinished assignment with Professor Piper, and when Levi pops up to apologise, she concedes that she is rooting for him.
This episode was recorded on 14 August 2021.
Show notes
Jen V is reading An Enchantment of Ravens by Margaret Rogerson - standalone fantasy!
More on The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg.
We talk about Simone Biles and her decision to protect her mental and physical health during the Olympics. (Here’s an article on “the twisties”, which does not sound fun at all.)
Emily of New Moon (first in the Emily books) by LM Montgomery.
Always fun to mention Potter’s Puppet Pals.
Jenn D would like to spruik her fancy Ugg boots. You can find them here.
Jeff Winger from Community: an icon, truly.
Shout-out to Bethany Actually, Official Friend of the Pod, who is a fantastic sender of care packages and all around MVP. We love you. Follow her on Tumblr!
Tom Felton was the face inspiration for Levi.
And DanRad was the face inspiration for Nick Manter!
If you wanna see DanRad being even more of a chaotic entity, you can watch Miracle Workers…
…or just this clip of him singing “She’ll Be Coming Around the Mountain…” Life-changing. Truly.
The whole show is very much worth watching though!
We would like to acknowledge the traditional owners of the land where this episode was recorded - the Guringai and Darug people, and tangata whenua of Te Whanganui-a-Tara.
Our intro and outro music is by the excellent Scott Buckley. Check him out here.
