Two Mid-Westerners trying to figure out life in Austin, TX. We talk about marriage, knitting, God, and all things crunchy.
In this episode, we talk about our favorite music, shows, books, dates, and food from summer 2016.
In this episode we join the conversation about social media—the good, the bad, and the surprising. Odds are, we struggle with it more than you do, but we want to talk about it. Aside from the frequently discussed drawbacks of time wasting and preoccupation with the image of self, we talk about the more significant implications of a "seeking praise for ourselves" culture. Andrea mentions this article on how taking pictures might not have the effect you think it does. And, towards the end of the episode, there's some unrelated knitting talk, since we just can't help ourselves. Thanks for listening!
In this episode we talk the distinction between habits and addictions using some personal examples (benign or otherwise). We also discuss causes of addictions and potential solutions. Molly references this TED Talk about addiction. Both of us have a few things to say about knitting, too. Enjoy!
Show Notes:In this Episode, we talk about... ourselves. We thought you might like to get to know us a bit. We also talk about why we named our podcast "Stirrings," how Andrea & I met, and all things crunchy. If you hear a little pitter-patter of feet in the background, that's my dog, Midna. Also, for reference purposes, kombucha is a fermented tea that is loaded with probiotics that helps your gut stay healthy. SCOBY stands for Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria & Yeast. We casually mention these things, and will probably reference that again, so just wanted to give you a heads up! View fullsize
