Martha and Colby's SPOOKTACULAR

Ever notice how there aren't many nonbinary or trans characters in media? We did. But, maybe you haven't yet - and that's okay! We talk about diversity in media and how representation is important. And it's not just trans and nonbinary folks, there's also an imbalance of men and women in movies and tv shows. We've come a long way, but there is still work to be done.

INVESTIGATING Life in ICELAND in 2020

On a scale of 1-10, how scared are you to call the doctor? Young Martha learned this skill very quickly, and now tries to teach people about how much that doctor visit will actually cost you. A broken elbow and meeting her deductible is not out of the ordinary for Martha. Need more health insurance resources?

If you're like Martha, you can cook maybe 10 things well. Look, I'm not ashamed to admit it. That's why we asked Jess of Garlic Press Jess to teach us some tips and tricks in the kitchen. We also discuss diversity in food and cooking (looking at you Alison Roman) and how to improve our dishes.

WHY COOKING IS SO HARD FOR MARTHA: featuring friend of the pod Garlic Press Jess!

Please don't watch this movie. Or do, but don't say we didn't tell you. Instead, join us as we take a break from this podcast (only one episode a month) and recap Avatar: the Last Airbender over on The Four Nations Report. (www.fournationsreport.com)

THE SHAGGY DA is a bad movie

The Avatar is Found! After 100 years of mystery, Katara and Sokka have discovered a mysterious boy in an iceberg. Upon further inspection, they realize he is indeed Aang - the Last Airbender and an Avatar. In this first episode of The Four Nations Report, we cover episodes 1 and 2 of Avatar: The Last Airbender (if you didn't know this you should probably not be listening) and include our thoughts, impressions, and what we're excited for. If you're like Martha, and have no idea what any of this means... don't worry. Our dedicated Avatar fans Colby and Ariel will help guide you through any questions you may have and hopefully we'll all have some fun along the way.

Happiness in the time of rona - it's possible! But, it takes work and a positive mindset. And, it's okay if there are some days where you feel like the world is getting you down.
