These families created a pandemic pod with clear rules & shared childcare. While adults navigated anxiety, their kids called it "the best time of their lives." Summary Bevin Croft and David Weintraub talk about their experience forming a "pod" during the COVID-19 pandemic. Health Hats introduces participatory governance - a concept I've studied throughout my life in various contexts, including families, communities, organizations, and healthcare. My history with governance spans from 1968, through college activism, homeschooling my children, living in an intentional community, and working in corporate settings. The main segment features a conversation with Bevin and David, who formed a COVID-19 support group, or pod, with other families to help one another during the pandemic. They discuss: They spontaneously decided to form the pod in May 2020 Creating formal rules and a written agreement to manage risks and expectations The challenges of prioritizing the pod over extended family relationships The practical arrangements include shared meals, childcare, and rotating responsibilities Their collective approach to virtual schooling for their children The difficulties David experienced as a teacher during hybrid learning How their children viewed the pod experience as "the best time of their lives" despite adults' pandemic anxiety The lasting bonds their "family of friends" developed and maintained The pod used tools from Bevin's work in person-centered practices to create its governance structure. They made decisions based on consensus, with particular attention to accommodate the most cautious member's concerns. Their experience strengthened existing friendships and created lasting bonds between the families. Click here to view the printable newsletter with images.

I'm a lifelong student of governance, having studied it in families, communities, teams, organizations, healthcare, research, and various other settings. Podcast intro Welcome to Health Hats, the Podcast. I'm Danny van Leeuwen, a two-legged cisgender old white man of privilege who knows a little bit about a lot of healthcare and a lot about very little. We will listen and learn about what it takes to adjust to life's realities in the awesome circus of healthcare. Let's make some sense of all of this. My Life with Participatory Governance I've watched and participated in governance since 1968, when I was 16, dealing with the Vietnam War draft. I learned that the plumbing of the draft contained laws, written regulations, and unwritten rules, with people making decisions, people moving paper, and massive numbers of kids like me processing through. I wanted to prepare myself,

In this special birthday episode of The Sispatch, Jasmine and Bevin celebrate their youngest cousin, Christopher—aka Mopher—who's basically the baby brother they didn't ask for but adore anyway. From his journey as the first boy cousin in 30 years (no pressure) to becoming a self-taught musician and boba-slinging pro, this episode is packed with laughs, nostalgic memories, and the kind of sibling-style roasting only cousins can get away with. Chris spills about his band Down by Dawn, life as a boba barista, and how family dynamics shaped him (including some hilarious nicknames). Whether it's the infamous chicken nugget story or heartfelt reflections on growing up together, this episode is all about celebrating Chris and the chaos he brings to the family.

With the Austrian annexation complete, Hitler could now start eying up his next target, Czechoslovakia again. Although Italy had proved absolutely no help to Britain in trying to stop Hitler's move against Austria, Chamberlain had given his word to put in place an agreement which would accept the Italian occupation of Abyssinia in return for some Italian commitments in the Mediterranean, over the Suez Canal, and to stop intervening in the Spanish Civil War. Chamberlain seems to have felt that he had to go ahead with this agreement and submitted it to the Commons for approval. With Conservative anti-appeasers rather muted, even Churchill, the opposition had to be led by Attlee. He was Leader of the Opposition, which was now oddly enough a paid post. He had also strengthened his position in the Labour Party, especially since two colleagues, Bevin and Dalton, had forced through a change of policy to stop opposing the government's plans for defence spending – they felt that such expenditure was increasingly needed in the face of the growing threats from the dictatorships. Attlee also spoke out loudly in defence of the Spanish Republic, especially after a visit there in late 1937. The House of Commons approved the agreement with Italy despite the opposition to it. That in effect turned a blind eye to Italy's breach of international law in Abyssinia. Now Hitler prepared his next breach of such law. Faced with what seemed to be an imminent Nazi invasion of Czechoslovakia, Chamberlain travelled out to see Hitler three times, on the last occasion accompanied by the French Prime Minister, Daladier, and the Italian dictator, Mussolini. The resulting Munich Agreement, which allowed Germany to absorb a huge part of Czechoslovakia, on the pretext of protecting the German-speaking minority in those areas, left the country defenceless to future attack. In the parliamentary debate on the Agreement, Churchill emerged as the champion of the anti-appeasement cause, though Attlee too spoke out powerfully against it. But there was relief across the country and in most parts of the House of Commons that peace had apparently been preserved. That left the anti-appeasers swimming against the current of public and political opinion. The peace that Chamberlain had bought would, however, not last long.

From personal stories about how they got hooked on true crime to the fear and fascination surrounding this unsolved mystery, this episode covers it all. The sisters explore the psychology behind the Zodiac's crimes, the theatrical nature of his attacks, and what made this case so uniquely terrifying. They break down the Zodiac's early attacks, his cryptic letters to the media, and the way he seemed to brand himself like some twisted villain. Jasmine and Bevin also discuss the infamous Lake Berryessa attack, the cab driver murder that signaled a shift in his crimes, and the eerie ciphers that have haunted investigators and amateur sleuths alike for decades.

In this episode of The Sispatch, Jasmine and Bevin get real about their love-hate relationship with cleaning, organization, and those emotional attachments to stuff we all pretend we don't have. From the dreaded cleaning tasks that make them want to hide under the bed, to the cleaning tools and hacks they swear by, they break down the rollercoaster of keeping their homes somewhat sane. They also reflect on how their childhoods shaped their current (often messy) cleaning habits and why decluttering is such a struggle when you're attached to all your things. The conversation isn't just about dusting and organizing; Jasmine and Bevin also dive into the emotional side of cleaning—why it's hard to part with certain belongings, how mess affects their productivity, and what motivates them to finally tackle that pile of stuff in the corner (hint: deadlines and visitors). They also share their favorite cleaning scents, products, and a few cleaning hacks they've picked up along the way. So if you're someone who dreams of a clean house but hates the thought of actually cleaning, this episode is for you! Grab your favorite mop (or just your favorite snack) and settle in for a fun, relatable chat about the messy side of life. Episode Breakdown: 00:00 – Introduction and Personal UpdatesA quick life update from Jasmine and Bevin—because who doesn't love a little chit-chat before diving into the messiness of life? 03:00 – The Struggles of CleaningCleaning is hard, and let's be real, we all dread it.

They chat about their go-to cleaning tools and preferences for getting the job done. 12:02 – Dreaded Cleaning TasksFrom scrubbing the shower to folding laundry (again), they reveal the cleaning chores they absolutely loathe. 16:03 – Messy Spaces and ProductivityHow messy spaces impact their productivity and what their desks currently look like (spoiler: it's not Pinterest-worthy). 21:12 – The Struggle of Clutter and PackingDecluttering is hard. They talk about why packing and decluttering always feel like the same overwhelming battle. 22:57 – Hoarding Tendencies and Emotional AttachmentsWhy is it so hard to let go of things? Jasmine and Bevin dive into the emotional attachment we have to our stuff and how it shows up in their lives. 24:54 – Decluttering Experiences and Emotional ChallengesSharing stories of their most challenging decluttering moments—turns out, it's not just about getting rid of stuff, it's about dealing with the feelings tied to it. 28:13 – Cleaning Motivation and Personal StandardsHow do they get motivated to clean when it feels impossible?

We're diving into how we process all the feels, from those cringe-worthy childhood flashbacks to stress meltdowns, and wondering how we've (sort of) grown into semi-functioning adults. We kick off with a nostalgic trip down memory lane, reflecting on the weird stuff from our childhood that still haunts us (hello, embarrassing middle school moments!). Then, we break down how our emotional responses have evolved over time (or haven't) and how snacks have become our go-to coping mechanism. Whether it's stress, joy, or the confusion of figuring out how to be emotionally available without becoming an emotional sponge for others, we're sharing it all. So grab your favorite beverage (coffee? tea? something stronger? No judgment here!) and settle in for a light-hearted, candid chat that covers everything from crying to laughing and everything in between. This emotional rollercoaster is one ride you won't want to miss. Episode Breakdown: 00:00 – Welcome Back + ShoutoutsWe're back for season two!
