Cecilia drags her way through her emotional uncertainty over finishing elementary school FOREVER and her childhood being over, but then picks herself up, dusts herself off, and rails about Michigan Republicans. Plus, special guest Scott Paltrowitz discusses the campaign that led New York State passing the HALT (Human Alternatives to Long-Term Solitary Confinement) Act.  Thanks, Scott, for your time to be interviewed and also for your hard work to pass such important legislation!

Cecilia and her dad discuss things that we need a vaccine for: hate, racism, gun violence, being Joe Manchin, the belief in American exceptionalism, Republicanism, Trumpism, and, oh yeah, anti-vaxxism.  Plus, Cecilia's thoughts on Potato Head, transgender rights, and that Dr. Seuss wasn't canceled.

Cecilia and her dad talk about the second impeachment of the Sith Emperor as well as the Democrat's priorities around COVID relief and climate change with the bonus of an exciting guess-the-hypocrite game and a poetry reading!

Cecilia and her dad discuss, um, you know, the normal humdrum news cycle.  Nothing to see here, right?  Oh, except for White Supremacists taking over the Capitol!  AHHHHH!  Hurry, Joe, hurry!  Can we just skip January 19th and fast forward to noon on the 20th?

Cecilia and her dad reflect on 2020 by taking your questions about the year, the next year, and how we will remember 2020 and the Trump years.  Spoiler alert:  We will remember that they suuuuuuuuuuucked.Have questions for your Fampod hosts--reach out by text or email to your Fampod people by text or email or even by phone if you still use that ever.

Cecilia, her dad, and a guest talk through RBG's legacy, the one-sided Supreme Court battle to fill the open seat (but not replace her), school days, online bullying and how to own your identity, and Trump's overpriced hair treatments.  

Mike and Cecilia discuss the end of summer, school openings, Kamala & Biden, the Death Eaters who have so far spoken at the RNC-ish week of discord and we're joined by a fun, energetic guest host!

Cecilia and Mike discuss coronavirus isolation as well as mailings they've received from strange officials and newspapers.  FamPod takes credit for Bernie dropping out which we are still sad about but okay with, and we promote Wisconsin as a place to send support for the 2020 election!

Cecilia and her dad discuss social distancing, long distance learning, the significant lack of leadership around a response to coronavirus at the federal level, and whether Dr. Anthony Fauci is okay because he's become friends with Melania Trump.  Also, an endorsement in the Democratic primary race.

Cecilia deals with the loss of Elizabeth Warren, who, though still alive, has suspended her inspiring candidacy for President.
