Send us a textFrom Forest to Feast: The Story of French ChâtaignesIn this deliciously autumnal episode of Fabulously Delicious, we dive deep into the world of châtaignes, France's beloved chestnuts. From their prickly forest shells to their fragrant, comforting presence in winter markets, châtaignes have long been a symbol of warmth, heritage, and rustic French cooking. But these humble nuts hold far more than nostalgia — they carry centuries of history, culture, and culinary transformation.We explore the fascinating botanical identity of the châtaigne, uncovering what makes it unique, how it differs from marrons, and why its reputation has evolved over time. You'll discover how chestnuts sustained entire regions, earned the nickname “the bread tree,” and became essential to rural life across the Cévennes, Ardèche, Limousin, and beyond. From ancient cultivation to nineteenth-century culinary refinement, the journey of the châtaigne is as rich as its flavour.Then, we turn our attention to the gastronomy of chestnuts. Whether roasted on street corners, puréed into velvety crème de marrons, transformed into the iconic Mont-Blanc dessert, or baked into festive dishes at Christmas, châtaignes play a starring role in French food culture. We'll explore regional specialties, traditional methods of preservation, and the craftsmanship that turns a simple nut into a seasonal delicacy.Finally, we travel across France to celebrate the festivals, terroirs, and AOP traditions that honour this treasured ingredient. From the chestnut groves of Ardèche to the proud heritage of the Marron de Lyon, to vibrant autumn gatherings in Collobrières and Redon, you'll get a taste of the communities that keep the chestnut spirit alive. Whether you're a longtime lover of chestnuts or discovering them for the first time, this episode is a feast of stories, culture, and flavour — straight from the forests of France to your plate.Support the showMy book Paris: A Fabulous Food Guide to the World's Most Delicious City is your ultimate companion.

O coreógrafo brasileiro Calixto Neto apresentou o mais recente trabalho, “Bruits Marrons”, no Festival de Outono de Paris, entre 7 de Outubro e 21 de Novembro. O espectáculo resgata o legado musical e humano do compositor afro-americano Julius Eastman e inspira-se nos quilombos, as comunidades livres criadas nas matas por escravos fugitivos. Nesta peça, o palco é “o quilombo de Calixto Neto”, um espaço de liberdade e de afirmação, onde uma comunidade de artistas negros e queer “lambem feridas” da história e “se fortalecem” para enfrentar o mundo, contou o coreógrafo à RFI. RFI: Qual é a história de “Bruits Marrons”? “'Bruits Marrons' é uma peça que é um encontro de vários artistas da dança e da música em torno de um diálogo e de uma música do Julius Eastman, que é um compositor afro-americano que morreu em 1990 e que criou um corpo de trabalho belíssimo, incrível. Ele vem da música clássica minimalista.‘Bruits Marrons' acaba sendo um diálogo com esse músico, especialmente com uma música do Julius, que é Evil Niger, numa ideia de criar uma comunidade tanto para Julius, quanto para a música de Julius. A gente na nossa pesquisa entendeu ou interpretou uma certa solidão desse compositor na época dele porque ele era um homem negro, gay, evoluindo numa sociedade muito branca, muito heteronormativa, um músico solitário no meio em que ele evoluía. A gente quis criar essa comunidade de pessoas racializadas, imigrantes, queers e, para além disso, expandir o lugar de onde essa música vem, uma música clássica, minimalista - que é como ela é classificada hoje em dia, mesmo que existam algumas controvérsias entre os músicos e musicistas - mas trazer para essa música também uma família de outros sons, de outros ruídos, de outros barulhos que podem compor a escuta para que quando essa música chegue nos nossos ouvidos a gente já tinha dado uma família para ela.” Falou em ruídos. O título é “Bruits Marrons”. O que é que quer dizer este título? Qual será depois, em português, o equivalente? “No caso de ‘Bruits Marrons', a língua francesa tem essa subtileza de permitir um duplo sentido para a palavra ‘marron'. Em português seria ‘Ruído Marron' ou, no duplo sentido da palavra em francês, poderia ser também ‘ruído quilombola'. O que acontece é que 'marron', em francês, além da cor, também designa as pessoas que estavam em situação de escravidão e que fugiam do sistema de escravidão nas plantações e se embrenhavam nas matas e criavam essas comunidades autónomas e livres, onde tinham suas vidas e trabalhavam.” É o equivalente dos quilombos no Brasil? "Exactamente, é o equivalente dos quilombos. É uma peça que é inspirada dos quilombos e, especialmente, da reflexão que a gente tem hoje em dia em torno do uso dessa palavra no Brasil. No Brasil, a gente usa essa palavra de forma mais actualizada para as comunidades de pessoas racializadas, de pessoas negras, em vários contextos. A gente não tem mais o sistema de escravidão no Brasil, mesmo que ainda exista, em alguns contextos, o que a gente chama de escravidão moderna, mas a palavra quilombo é usada em vários contextos de ajuntamento de pessoas negras, que seja formal ou informalmente, por vários motivos: para estudar, para festejar, para se cuidar, para celebrar a cultura. Então, por exemplo, lá em São Paulo tem um lugar mítico para a comunidade negra que se chama Aparelha Luzia, que é um centro cultural, um lugar de festas, um lugar de encontro de associações que foi criado pela ex-deputada Érica Malunguinho, que é uma mulher negra, trans, que saiu de Pernambuco e que em algum momento se muda para São Paulo e fez lá a sua vida. Esse é um lugar que chamam de quilombo urbano. Eu, na minha juventude, há alguns anos, quando morei com dois outros amigos negros e gay em Recife, a gente chamava à nossa casa de quilombo. Então, tem esse sentido de um espaço de emancipação que a gente cria autonomamente e que a gente actualiza hoje em dia, mesmo que o uso dessa palavra, a comunidade em si, a função dela seja actualizada. Dito isso, existem também, hoje, as comunidades remanescentes quilombolas, que são essas terras onde as pessoas que fugiram da escravidão criaram as suas comunidades e que reclamam até hoje a posse dessas terras, como as comunidades indígenas brasileiras. Então, existe essa reflexão em torno dessa palavra, de criar uma comunidade que seja em torno do som, em torno do ruído, como o ruído é um incómodo para a harmonia dos ouvidos e isso era um pouco o que Julius representava: era um homem negro num meio muito branco, um homem gay num meio muito heteronormativo e ele era um homem gay muito frontal com a sua identidade sexual e, numa das várias entrevistas que ele deu, ele disse que só desejava na vida ‘poder ser 100% gay, 100% negro, 100% músico', 'gay to the fullest, black to the fullest, musician to the fullest'". Aquilo que se passa em palco, a comunidade que reúne em palco, corpos queer, corpos negros, corresponde a esta ideia de se poder ser “100% gay, 100% negro e 100% músico”?  Esta peça tem um cunho de reparação e daí este grupo que juntou em palco? “Na verdade, esta peça tem uma temporalidade extensa. Encontrei [a música de] Julius, em 2019, no estúdio, alguém estava usando a música de Julius e houve esse encontro auditivo em que eu ouvi e meio que me apaixonei pela música dele. Em 2022, eu tive a oportunidade de começar um trabalho em torno dessa música, do trabalho dele, e na época eu queria trabalhar em torno do ‘Evil Nigger' e do ‘Crazy Nigger', mas nessa época eu tive a intuição de trabalhar só com pessoas negras porque eu queria entender qual é essa solidão de estar num meio em que a gente é sempre o único, em que a gente sempre está acompanhado de, no máximo, mais duas pessoas na sala. Foi uma aposta meio intuitiva e criou dentro do grupo uma sensação de segurança e de apaziguamento mesmo das histórias e das referências, de onde vem, o que é muito precioso e muito raro num ambiente de trabalho. Para a criação da peça, eu continuei com essa aposta, especialmente no que concerne à escolha da pessoa que toca a música porque, em 2025, mesmo com essa quantidade imensa que a gente tem de conservatórios, é uma missão hercúlea encontrar um pianista negro que tem uma formação sólida ou suficiente para tocar Julius Eastman. Hoje em dia, é praticamente impossível encontrar na Europa. Eu não sei se em Londres talvez a gente tenha mais, mas na França e na Bélgica, que foi onde concentrei mais as minhas pesquisas em 2022, foi uma tarefa muito difícil. Agora, para 2024, 2025, eu tive a ajuda de uma amiga pesquisadora, musicista, que tem uma pesquisa em torno da música de Julius e conhece alguns músicos e musicistas que se interessam pelo universo do Julius. Ela indicou-me algumas pessoas, mas, no geral, mesmo contando com pessoas da música, falei com pessoas de conservatórios, o teatro onde eu sou associado também me ajudou nessa busca, mas encontrar um pianista negro hoje em dia em França é uma tarefa possível, mas bem difícil." O piano é uma personagem, entre aspas, central na peça. É quase como a fogueira ou o batuque à volta do qual se reúnem as comunidades? “Pois é, a gente quis que o piano virasse um personagem dentro da estrutura da peça, às vezes, um objecto que pela imobilidade dele, acaba-se impondo no espaço. A gente pode atribuir várias imagens, mas, às vezes, eu penso que ele é um caixão que a gente está carregando com todo o cuidado e cantando essa música que é entre um lamento e uma canção de ninar. Às vezes, é um personagem que compõe uma estrutura sonora junto com a gente, num momento de explosão e de raiva. Às vezes é o centro da caldeira, como fala Isabela [Fernandes Santana] no começo da peça. Às vezes, é a lava ou o fogo em torno do qual a gente está girando e evocando o universo.” Até que ponto o piano ajudou a conceber os diferentes quadros de dança que variam entre a união muito forte e o êxtase e a libertação total dos corpos? Como é que criou a narrativa coreográfica da peça? “Teve um duplo trabalho. Primeiro, existiam duas imposições. Uma é a imposição da música em si porque eu decidi que a música entraria na sua integralidade, eu gostaria de propor ao público a escuta dessa música na sua inteireza - o que não foi o caso em 2022, quando era mais um jazz em torno dos universos que a música atravessa. Tem uma outra imposição, que é o objecto piano, que é um objecto imenso. Ele é imponente, ele é grande e ele ocupa o espaço. O piano não é como uma caixa de madeira que a gente muda de um lado para o outro e que está tudo bem assim. Ele tem uma carga histórica, ele tem uma carga simbólica e espacial que a gente não tem como se desenvencilhar dele. Em paralelo a essas duas imposições, existia o meu desejo de trabalhar com essa comunidade matérias que fossem em torno da alegria, em torno da criação de outros sons, uma travessia de uma floresta - que é uma cena inspirada da minha visita ao Quilombo dos Palmares, no Brasil - uma explosão raivosa e essa ideia de deslocamento desse objecto que, para mim, retoma uma tradição que a gente tinha no Brasil, no final do período da escravidão e no pós-escravidão, dos homens que carregavam o piano. As pessoas que, no processo de mudança carregam o piano, eram pessoas especializadas nisso, que tinham uma cadência específica para andar nas ruas não pavimentadas da cidade e há uma classe trabalhadora específica, com um universo musical também específico, ligado à cadência do passo. Essa é uma história que eu ouvi há muitos anos, quando eu estudava teatro, e que ficou na minha cabeça, até porque há uma expressão que a gente tem no Brasil, que são os carregadores de piano, que são as pessoas que vão carregar o peso mais pesado de um processo. Por exemplo, eu ouvi essa expressão num podcast de análise da situação económica do Brasil, em que o analista dizia que as pessoas que vão carregar o piano, as pessoas que vão carregar o peso mais pesado de uma mudança e de uma decisão para uma mudança económica, são as pessoas mais fragilizadas, as pessoas mais expostas. Então, tinha esse desejo de trazer o piano para estas histórias que a gente está contando, que ele pudesse ser um obstáculo que a gente atravessa, que ele pudesse ser talvez até um dos performers que dança com a gente e que produz esses ruídos, para além da música.” O que está neste momento a preparar?  “A gente acabou de estrear a peça, houve apresentações no Teatro de Cergy-Pontoise, que é o teatro onde estou em residência até 2026. Depois, apresentámos em Bruxelas, na Bienal de Charleroi Dance e agora no MC93. A gente está preparando a tournée da peça, com algumas apresentações, e alguns projectos ligados à minha residência do Points Communs. Tem um outro projeto com o CCN de Grenoble ligado à tradição do carnaval e à ideia da noção de gambiarra.” O que é a gambiarra? “Gambiarra são essas reparações, esses consertos improvisados para problemas reais. A imagem clássica da gambiarra no Brasil é consertar uma havaiana quebrada com um prego. É uma tradição muito comum na nossa sociedade, ao ponto de ter virado uma estética em si, é quase um jeito de pensar as coisas, um jeito de pensar a solução de problemas. A gente não vai reparar ali na base da coisa, mas a gente vai deixar com um pedaço de fita, com um prego, a coisa em estado de uso e a gente vai usar desse jeito. É um objecto de pesquisa para mim, há muitos anos, desde o meio do meu mestrado. A Shereya também fez um mestrado no mesmo lugar que eu, lá em Montpellier e é também um objecto de pesquisa para ela.” A Shereya que é outra coreógrafa e bailarina... “Ela é uma bailarina de ‘Bruits Marrons' e coreógrafa também. A gente tem uma parceria em vários outros trabalhos, ela entra em um outro trabalho meu, a ‘Feijoada'. Quando eu fui chamado pelo CCN de Grenoble para fazer esse projecto com comunidades que vivem em torno do CCN, eu tive a ideia de fazer um carnaval - porque vai acontecer no período do carnaval - então, vai ser o nosso carnaval improvisado no CCN de Grenoble. Há um outro projecto para 2027 que vai ser um solo e uma plataforma de encontros com outros trabalhos em torno da ideia da Travessia Atlântica e é inspirado no nome do meu bairro, o bairro onde eu cresci, que se chama Jardim Atlântico. É também um diálogo com a minha história, com a história da minha mãe que era bailarina, e essas histórias de migração entre um lado do Atlântico e um outro lado.” Esta é a segunda vez que conversamos, a primeira foi também no âmbito do Festival do Outono, quando apresentou ‘Il FAUX' , em 2023. A ideia que tenho é que a sua pesquisa anda sempre em torno do racismo, da História, da escravatura, dos corpos negros permanentemente ameaçados. Por que é que faz questão de levar estes temas para cima do palco e até que ponto é que o seu palco é o quilombo para os “carregadores do piano” serem reparados? “Na verdade, isso é uma prática que não planeei que ia acontecer assim. No começo do meu percurso, quando criei a minha primeira peça fora do mestrado, 'oh!rage', eu estava saindo de um mestrado em que eu passei dois anos numa instituição de ensino francesa e em que não tive a oportunidade de cruzar com nenhum professor, nenhum artista ou mesmo pessoas que estavam ali em torno do festival Montpellier Danse, não encontrei artistas negros, talvez um ou dois. Isso marcou-me muito porque eu tenho uma formação em teatro no Brasil, tenho um longo percurso na companhia da Lia Rodrigues, em que comecei a me dar conta que o leque de referências nesses espaços, tanto o espaço académico quanto o espaço profissional de Lia Rodrigues era quase exclusivamente branco e o mestrado Exerce [Montpellier] serviu para confirmar isso. Então, em 2018, quando eu criei o ‘oh!rage', fiz a aposta de dialogar apenas com criadores, com pensadores, com artistas visuais, da dança, de teatro negros, da comunidade negra - muito inspirado também do programa Diálogos Ausentes do Itaú Cultural de 2016. Fazendo essa aposta em 2018, eu me deparei - porque eu tinha um letramento racial tardio porque isso não foi uma questão na minha formação, na minha família - deparei-me com um universo de criação que me alimenta imensamente. Eu, junto com outras pessoas, com outros artistas, também experimento, experiencio, no meio das artes e na vida real, situações de subalternidade que me são impostas. Então, eu entendo a arte como um espaço de discussão do que atravessa a sociedade nos dias de hoje. Eu não acho que isso é uma ferida que esteja apaziguada e curada. Pelo contrário, ela demanda ainda reflexão, ela demanda um olhar específico, ela é muito presente, é uma chaga aberta. Eu tento fazer da arte um espaço de diálogo, de abrir uma discussão em torno disso mesmo e sempre dialogando com outros artistas que trazem as suas referências nesse sentido para criar esse espaço de emancipação, de liberdade mesmo. Esse é o meu quilombo, o palco é meu quilombo, a minha comunidade ‘marron', um espaço de autonomia e de liberdade. E nesse espaço de autonomia e liberdade a gente vai louvar os nossos, celebrar as nossas criações e lamber as nossas feridas juntos. Em alguns momentos, a gente vai abrir esse espaço e receber pessoas, como em outras peças como ‘Feijoada', que é uma peça em torno da generosidade e do gesto. Em outras peças, a gente vai estar entre a gente, celebrando as nossas existências entre a gente e lambendo as nossas feridas antes de se fortalecer para o resto do mundo.”

(01:19) Rond 1730 ontvlucht een zwangere zwarte vrouw de plantage en brengt in het Surinaamse moeras haar zoon Boni ter wereld. Hij wordt Marron-leider en verzetsheld tegen het koloniale gezag. Tessa Leuwsha schreef een boek over zijn leven en denken, en vertelt hoe dat ons beeld van Boni verandert.  (14:53) Het is vijf jaar later. Alle Amerikaanse Iwo Jima veteranen zijn overleden. De wereld is in rap tempo veranderd. De dreiging van oorlog is terug van weggeweest. Marianne gaat op zoek naar de oude vijanden van haar opa en vindt een van de laatste Japanse Iwo Jima veteranen. In hoeverre voldoet hij aan het clichébeeld uit de oorlog? Ook ontmoet ze de kleindochter van een gesneuvelde Japanse Iwo Jima veteraan. Hoe kijkt zij naar de omgang met de oorlog in het huidige Japan?  Operatie onthechting  Kunstenaar Marianne Ingleby erft het fotoarchief van haar opa Bruce Elkus, Amerikaans legerfotograaf. In 1944 vertrok hij naar het Japanse eiland Iwo Jima, bekend van een van de bloedigste slagen van de Tweede Wereldoorlog.  Als Marianne na zijn dood door de foto's gaat stuit ze op gruwelijke beelden: soldaten met weggeblazen ledematen, een Japanse schedel op een stok als oorlogstrofee en naakte vrouwen met dronken Amerikanen in bordelen. De foto's blijken destijds nooit gepubliceerd: te ontluisterend. Liever keek men naar de wereldberoemde heroïsche foto 'Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima', hét symbool van de Amerikaanse overwinning in de Pacific.  Marianne blijkt goud in handen te hebben met het zeldzame foto-archief. Ze is benieuwd naar de ervaringen van haar eigenzinnige opa, die naast honderden foto's ook aangrijpende brieven vanaf het front naliet. Wat heeft hij meegemaakt aan het front? Waarom maakte hij foto's buiten zijn opdracht? Welke herinneringen roepen ze op bij de Amerikaanse veteranen? En hoe wordt er in Japan op gereageerd?  Samen met radiomaker Laura Stek reist Marianne vanuit Nederland naar Amerika en Japan, gedreven door de vraag: hoe groot is het gat tussen wat we te zien krijgen en de realiteit van oorlog?  Deel 1 en 2 kwamen in 2020 uit, deel 3 en 4 in 2025.  ‘Operatie Onthechting' is een coproductie van Prospektor en VPRO voor NPORadio1.

Host Meg Wolitzer presents three stories in that look at some of the ways we “keep score” in life even though we know it's not a game.  Simon Rich explores the game as intergenerational competition in “The Tribal Rite of the Strombergs,” read by John Hodgman.  In Dylan Marron's “Some News,” a man carefully tracks an old friend on social media, while eyeing his own accomplishments.  Marron is the reader. And Joanne Harris' “Fule's Gold,” a teacher tries to put himself on the board—by stealing points from an unwitting student. The reader is Gildart Jackson.

Bonjour à tous, je suis Tristan Laffontas et je suis ravi de vous accueillir dans ce nouvel épisode de mon podcast. En tant que fondateur de Pépite, je parcours inlassablement la France et parfois le monde pour sourcer les meilleurs produits directement auprès d'artisans producteurs d'exception, souvent recommandés par des chefs renommés. Mon rôle est crucial : je m'assure personnellement que chaque producteur respecte nos valeurs fondamentales, telles que la protection de l'environnement, la préservation de la santé et le respect des conditions de travail des employés. C'est une mission qui me tient à cœur et que je prends très au sérieux, passant parfois plusieurs jours avec les artisans pour vraiment comprendre leur métier et leur passion.Dans ce podcast, je vous partage mes découvertes et aujourd'hui, je suis particulièrement enthousiaste à l'idée de vous parler des marrons et des châtaignes. Vous pensez peut-être connaître la différence entre les deux, mais je suis sûr que je peux encore vous surprendre avec des détails méconnus que j'ai moi-même appris récemment. Je vais notamment vous expliquer pourquoi on utilise souvent le terme "marron" pour des produits qui sont en réalité des châtaignes, et comment ce terme s'est embourgeoisé au fil du temps.Ensuite, je vous ferai un petit focus sur l'aspect entrepreneurial de Pépite, où je vous dévoilerai les coulisses de l'entreprise et je répondrai à des questions fréquemment posées. Je vous parlerai aussi de Vidéo Ask, un outil interactif que j'utilise beaucoup sur mon site et qui suscite beaucoup de curiosité.Pour finir, je discuterai de notre décision de limiter le nombre de membres à 1000 chez Pépite. Cette décision stratégique n'a pas été prise à la légère et elle ne relève pas d'une simple tactique de marketing par FOMO. Elle est le résultat d'une réflexion approfondie sur la qualité de service que nous voulons garantir à nos membres et sur notre vision d'une croissance durable et responsable. Je vous expliquerai comment une expérience avec un éleveur de boeuf a renforcé ma conviction que limiter le nombre de membres est essentiel pour maintenir l'exclusivité et la satisfaction au sein de notre club.Je vous remercie d'avoir écouté et j'espère que vous avez apprécié ce voyage au cœur des marrons, des châtaignes et de l'entrepreneuriat conscient. N'hésitez pas à vous abonner à la newsletter de Pépite pour ne rien manquer de nos futures aventures gourmandes et entrepreneuriales. À bientôt pour de nouvelles découvertes !

We've all heard the adage: “Think globally, act locally.” Liza embodies that perspective. She came to the San Luis valley about 30 years ago to work on a buffalo ranch with her husband. Since then, she's lived a lot of life in this valley. Raising kids, horses, dogs, working as school board president and County Commissioner, and founding and running the San Luis Valley Local Foods Coalition are just a few of the things that have kept her busy over the years. Everyone around here knows her and admires her energy, intelligence, and positive approach to things. I'm really glad to be able to share this wonderful woman with you. This is a public episode.

About the authorBorn and raised in Sheffield, in the week before leaving school Matt was asked by his careers teacher, Mr. Marron, what he wanted to be when he left. When he replied that he wanted to be a writer, Mr Marron said "Well Coyne, I wanted to be Burt f*cking Reynolds". He then handed Matt an application form to become an apprentice fitter of gas cookers. Dreams suitably crushed, Matt became a poster-boy for staying in full-time education, by doing a succession of genuinely crappy jobs. Variously, he has been a toilet roll packer, turnstile-operator, cardboard box folder and a sorter of coat-hangers for Burton Menswear. Matt has been sacked a lot.After a couple of years, he returned to education to obtain an English degree from Manchester Metropolitan University. Completing his dissertation on French feminism in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. An academic piece of work that proved that Mr Marron was probably right all along.From University, Matt drifted into the graphic arts. As a graphic artist in Doncaster, he saw little of the glamorous side of design and his last task as a jobbing designer was to photoshop the weeds and cat-sh*t out of 24 pictures of block-paving. This was the job that, in 2007, led him to quit and set up his own print and design company. He has been serving the businesses of Sheffield with a consistently mediocre service ever since.In September 2015, Matt became a father for the first time, to Charlie. And woke up. After three months of dealing with the missile of chaos that is a newborn, he posted his thoughts online. And, in January 2016 these thoughts went viral. The original post was shared over a hundred thousand times and was featured in newspapers and on television across the world. (He even appeared on Australian breakfast TV, sandwiched between an item about a world record-breaking whip-cracker and a news story about a man who lost a toe on some dodgy patio furniture).Becoming a parent is the greatest, weirdest and most humbling thing that Matt, and his partner of twenty years Lyndsay, have ever experienced. And, if you read the above it's easy to see why. Not only has Charlie proved to be the love of their lives, he has also provided the inspiration for Matt to write about something that people want to read about.. and perhaps ultimately prove that Mr Marron was an idiot.In the months following the original post, Matt created a facebook blog page entitled Man vs Baby and has 150,000 followers who check in regularly to see his most recent parental discoveries and failures.Matt is also a singer/songwriter with the band 'Terry and Dead' and has appeared on compilation albums with Paul Heaton, Billy Bragg and Sleaford Mods. He also recently achieved online virulence with his letters to famous people and enjoys generally being a smartarse online.. where bigger boys can't hit you in the face.Matt lives in Sheffield with his son Charlie, his partner Lyndsay and a Jack Russell terrier with 'issues' called Eddie.Frank And Red is our March book club read.

All right, well, today we are talking about permission and how you don't actually need our permission to do some of the things we're gonna talk about, but we think we have a five different categories of things. [00:05:31] We think that you should allow yourself the permission to. Do when you're homeschooling. Exactly.  [00:05:38] Maren: These are things we wanna actually normalize. I think that was like our alternative title, like let's normalize these things, make them so that we don't even have to  [00:05:47] Angela: feel like we have to give ourselves permission. [00:05:51] Mm-hmm. , it's just something we do. It's normal. Well, I think like a lot of times the pressures of whatever, you know, the outside world. Yes. [00:06:00] Also, like the pressures you place on yourself mm-hmm. Can be can really like, weigh on you as you are thinking about some of these things.  [00:06:08] Maren: Yes. I do think we as homeschoolers often already feel like we're kind of outside of the norm a little bit. Yeah, right. We've, we've, we say this a lot on our podcast, like we have done something kind of going against green homeschooling, . Yeah. It's different, right? [00:06:25] And so sometimes we do feel like, well, we can't go way out. Let's not go  [00:06:30] Angela: way out there and do something even. There still has to be some standards.  [00:06:33] Maren: We have to have standards. And so let's do the standards that, you know, some of the standards that everybody else does too, right? Like it just feels a little safer. [00:06:41] It feels like it's socially acceptable and so, which is great. I, and I actually think that's okay to do that sometimes too. But I also want  [00:06:51] Angela: us  [00:06:52] Maren: to. Utilize the freedom we have in, you know, homeschoolers. We get to make decisions. The [00:07:00] reason a lot of times the reason why we, you know, decide to homeschool is so that we can make different choices for our family and we can do things that are healthier and better for our kids  [00:07:10] Angela: and for us, more  [00:07:12] Maren: personalized. [00:07:13] More personalized mm-hmm. . And yet we sometimes then shrug those choices off because it feels too much at that moment.  [00:07:19] Angela: Yes. Yes, definitely. So this, you know, this, we're doing this episode intentionally at the beginning of December because, you know, we're like three months into a school year here. Most of us are taking a holiday break coming up or a winter break. [00:07:34] And so you know, we're thinking about some of these things, but we wanna make sure, you know, if you listen to this in May or February or October, it still applies. Yes, because again, you don't need our permission, but we're telling you that you can do these things. You, you should allow yourself the permission to do these things anytime,  [00:07:52] Maren: anytime, anytime. [00:07:54] And, and it's important to think about them anytime, not just during a holiday or a, [00:08:00] you know. You know, a time off or something. Right? Right. It's important to like continue to, this is a living thing, .  [00:08:07] Angela: Right. Okay. So the first thing that we wanna give you or that you should give yourself permission to do is change. [00:08:13] And that can be a lot of different things. You can change how you school. You, you are allowed to do this. You are allowed to change the big picture things like going from homeschool to online school. You are allowed to put your kids in online school. Maybe homeschool just isn't working for you right now, or you need a little bit more support or a little bit more guidance. [00:08:33] It is okay to do that. It is also okay to switch from switch in the opposite direction. It is okay. If you are doing online school, it's not working, it's okay to switch to homeschool. It's okay to also put your kids in school. It's okay to also pull your kids from school. Yes, you can. You can do that anytime you feel like it's the right thing  [00:08:55] Maren: to do. [00:08:56] And change what's right for each kid. Maybe. I know it's, for me, [00:09:00] I really value making my life easier and I, my goal has always been we're all doing the same thing because when we're all doing the same thing, then I don't have to drive four kids to four  [00:09:13] Angela: different places or whatever. But realistically,  [00:09:15] Maren: my kids all have different needs. [00:09:17] Mm-hmm. . And so I, we have made changes to Yes. Logistically it's a little bit trickier for us to get to different places. But it is so much  [00:09:27] Angela: better for  [00:09:28] Maren: everyone, for the whole family when we're all in the place and, and doing the learning  [00:09:35] Angela: that works best for all. Right. So you made changes. Yes. And I think that's pretty common. [00:09:42] I would say like when your kids are younger, it's easier for you to do things altogether or all the same. Mm-hmm. . And then as they get older and their specific styles and needs emerge. Right. And, and desires. Like we want to accommodate [00:10:00] that. So that makes sense.  [00:10:01] Maren: And even within homeschool, maybe you need to switch co-op. [00:10:05] Fine. It's okay to do that. It's great. I mean, you're, I don't ever think of change as, as negative. It's like you're getting closer and closer to the, you know, you're, you're moving in the right direction. Yeah. You  [00:10:19] Angela: know more, now you know more, more about your child and what works or doesn't work in this season or forever, whatever. [00:10:26] And so it is good. It's a change is a. Right. Or maybe you're switching  [00:10:31] Maren: from,  [00:10:31] More of a, an unschool approach to more direct teaching approach or something like that. Maybe that is just what's right for you or vice versa. Mm-hmm. , you're going to more unschooling because that's how it's working for you right now. [00:10:45] I think that's great. And then also we need to just consider. What's the style that fits your child's needs the most? Mm-hmm. , and this can change over time too, as our kids mature, as their needs change as their interests change as their, as [00:11:00] they are a learning about themselves and, and, you know, in homeschool, you, they really do get to know themselves very well. [00:11:08] They're able to do that. And, and when they're able to verbalize that and. When you know more, you do the thing that works best then, right? And so, right.  [00:11:19] Angela: So what is your kid really into, like what are they, what do they do in their free time? What it really excites them? You could just do more of that, right? [00:11:27] If that's, if that what, if that's what would make things like come alive for them. You should allow yourself to do  [00:11:34] Maren: that. Right, right, right. And the style, you know, and when I say style, I don't always even mean you know, Active versus, you know, sitting at a table. It could also just be like your child listens to audiobooks or, you know, reads more audio audiobooks than ires. [00:11:53] Mm-hmm. great. Like pick up on that. And, and you can do more of the out your child does [00:12:00] math better on an app? Mm-hmm. than sitting at, you know, doing a book. Great. Mm-hmm. awesome. Pick up on that. My child loves to bake. We spent hours in the kitchen. Mm-hmm. still do . And so I think that that is, that's all learning and that can change. [00:12:19] Like you can make more time  [00:12:20] Angela: for that. For sure. Yep. And maybe you have learned that you need to either get out of the house more mm-hmm. . Mm-hmm. And go on more adventures. Or maybe you've learned definitely that you've been outta the house too much and you need more time at home. You are allowed to like make your schedule, make your routines right to fit what works for you. [00:12:40] And it's okay to do that mid-year or mm-hmm. a month into the school year or whatever it, you don't have to. Yes. Like stick with something that's not working.  [00:12:49] Maren: Exactly. Exactly. Yep. All right. Let's move on to number two. Number two is you can give yourself permission to quit. Yes. Quit a variety of things and in a [00:13:00] variety of ways. [00:13:00] You can quit permanently. Something this is, this is just not for me. It's not happening, not for my kids. You can also quit. So, Indefinitely until we're ready, . Yeah. Yeah. Until we're ready to come back, we're quitting. Mm-hmm. . Yep.  [00:13:17] Angela: So I feel like this right now, like we said at the beginning of December, so I'm sure you're thinking of a break probably. [00:13:23] Mm-hmm. . Mm-hmm. . And, you know, you might be thinking, yeah, we're taking two weeks off, we're taking three weeks off, we're taking a month off. You can, you should allow yourself to do that. You could also allow yourself to, you know, not come back till the end of January. Or whatever works for your family. [00:13:38] However much time you think everyone needs, you are not bound to this outside culture schedule. Yes. That everyone else is bound to . You know, maybe you want to do lots of out outdoor activities right now. That's fine. You can take the time to do that and then come back later for some more structure that you might, yes. [00:13:57] Yep. Yep. If you want that. [00:14:00]  [00:14:00] Maren: And quitting I think has a bad. It does. Mm-hmm. . Mm-hmm. . It feels like a fail, like failing sometimes in some ways, or it's been deemed that way  [00:14:12] Angela: by many people. Just never quitting. Never quitting is a thing.  [00:14:15] Maren: Never quit. You need to get rid of that. Right, right. Well, my kids need to learn persistence and how to, you know, work through something hard, which is true. [00:14:22] We get, you know, totally understand that. Yeah. Mm-hmm. . And then also there is this, these skills in quitting. Mm-hmm. , like understanding yourself and listening to what you. Making a plan to quit. Like you don't, maybe you don't quit cold Turkey. Like right now, we're not, we're just  [00:14:35] Angela: with this, you know, maybe we finish out the semester Yes. [00:14:40] Piano lessons because we've already committed and paid mm-hmm. , but we know at the end of December we're gonna take a break.  [00:14:47] Maren: Yep. And Okay. I'm just gonna hear, I'm just gonna tell you a quick personal story. I won't get too detailed, but like, one of my, one of my kids just quit a sport and it was it was, it was really apparent led for a long time. [00:14:59] [00:15:00] Like we were, we were just like so excited for this child to like, join anything. And so we kind of coaxed them into it. They got, they got kinda  [00:15:07] Angela: excited for a while. Yep. Yep.  [00:15:10] Maren: And then you know, mid-semester, so it wasn't even at the end of anything. But it was just, we could tell it was just not worth the fight anymore. [00:15:20] Mm. It's just not worth the fight. And this child was communicating so well to us why this wasn't working for them. Mm. Yeah. And while we tried to stick it out to the end of the semester, it really didn't, like, the cus benefit wasn't, it just wasn't. Yeah, it wasn't worth it for us. And so we made the decision to stop mid-semester gasp. [00:15:42] I know, but it was the right thing. Yeah. For this child and  [00:15:46] Angela: for our family really. I like when you talked about cost benefit. I mean, I don't love that necessarily terminology, but I like that you're saying like, what, what is the cost here for us? Yeah. You know, this child's unhappiness are having to drag them out of [00:16:00] the. [00:16:00] Yeah. Our fighting relationship,  [00:16:02] Maren: right. It was causing anxiety to, and it wasn't the kind of anxiety that like, oh, if I overcome this, it's gonna feel so good. It was, if I overcome this, I'm just gonna be bitter at my parents a little bit. Yeah. And we were like, no, this is not worth it. That's actually counterproductive to what we're actually trying to, for sure. [00:16:22] So,  [00:16:24] Angela: So good job. Thank you. Okay. Our next category or I don't know, next thing. Mm-hmm. is protect. Our next word is protect. Mm-hmm. , something that you are allowed to do is protect your child's free time. Mm. Mm-hmm. and or screen time . Yes. I think. Coming into winter. We're in winter in North America. [00:16:44] Right. So like coming into winter is a time I think when we instinctually just need a lot of downtime. Mm-hmm. . Yeah. At least I do. Okay.  [00:16:54] Maren: Especially in northern in the Northern  [00:16:57] Angela: states as I'm watching it. [00:17:00] Snow immensely outside right now. That's all I can think about.  [00:17:03] Maren: like I just wanna hibernate. Yes.  [00:17:05] Angela: I wanna hibernate. [00:17:06] Yes. And I feel like, so. We are not good at, and I say we like the collective we, and I'm talking about me as well. Mm-hmm. not good at is protecting my kids free time and downtime. Yeah. And I think that is so important and I wish I had done a better job of that when my kids were little. I did get better as they got older. [00:17:23] Oh yeah. But I think that downtime where their minds can wander, they can do the thing they're excited about, they can have a chance to explore new things that they maybe don't know if they're interested in. Mm-hmm. . Mm-hmm. that only happens with. Huge blocks of free time. That's so true. You are allowed to protect that for your child and not cram in all the different subjects. [00:17:47] Exactly. Because are all those different subjects more important than free time? I don't know. I don't think so. Right. And are  [00:17:53] Maren: they actually getting learned when you're cramming them in anyway? Yeah. Is the learning actually happening? Mm-hmm. , you're [00:18:00] getting things done. But that does not guarantee any sort of like internal long term learning. [00:18:10] Angela: You're not. That's how I remember a an episode we did like three years ago or four years ago, I don't remember, was about like how we don't choose what our kids. Yes. Make meaning out of or like Yes. Yes. Like we can put the information in front of them. Yep. But we don't get to decide like what stays in their head or what they choose to make meaning from. [00:18:29] Right. That's like something that they're doing or something that happens within them. So just because you're cramming in six subjects or whatever, I'm, I'm not saying you're doing that, that's extreme, but whatever. That doesn't mean that they're learning all of that, but exactly what they're, they are learning when they're at, when they're, when they have. [00:18:46] They are learning because they're choosing what they're doing. They're excited about it, they're into it. They're motivated by it. We know for sure that they're learning that.  [00:18:57] Maren: Yep. They, it's the best kind of learning and yeah, it's [00:19:00] the most internal learning and long-term learning. And the only part of that that's tough for parents is that you probably aren't choosing the topic. [00:19:11] But let me tell you, so. Let me give you a peace of mind here. It's not always about the topic. , when it comes to learning the topic is almost irrelevant. It's the practice of learning. The habit of thinking. Mm-hmm. that is happening. Mm-hmm. during that free time. Mm-hmm. , it's the processing. Mm-hmm. , they are learning how to learn. [00:19:35] Mm-hmm. and they are loving it. So they're associating learning. Positive vibes. Positive feelings, for sure. For sure. And so they are going to continue that habit. Mm-hmm. of learning, of asking questions, of figuring out the answer. All these things, they are going to keep doing that the, their rest of their lives. [00:19:56] Mm-hmm. , if they have that time to do it now and they're having [00:20:00] positive experiences. Yes. So give yourself all the credit for all the learning you're you and your kids are doing in their  [00:20:08] Angela: free time. Give your kids all the credit. . Yeah. Yeah. I also, I know we briefly touched on it, I wanna say protect screen time and mm-hmm. [00:20:16] I know this is controversial, but I'm just gonna say like, I think. A lot of screen time is really, really valuable and really important. My kids learn a lot through screen time. Mm-hmm. now my kids are older, but I have to say, like my son, for example watches a lot of YouTube videos that are about, I don't even know the category. [00:20:35] Geography. Yeah. Yeah. I think geography. Yes. And like politics happening within the different, like Oh totally. Countries or whatever. This is what he does for hours. He does this for hours. That's amazing because I love to see it. I'm like, yes, yes, yes, you should do that. I am doing it wanting to squander that at all. [00:20:55] Cuz he is deep diving into a subject that is interesting to him and he is learning a [00:21:00] lot by doing those deep dives. Right. I have to  [00:21:02] Maren: say my son is doing the same thing really about you. Oh, okay. We should talk about that together. Yeah. Two of 'em, because they probably love to talk about that, so, yeah. [00:21:12] That's great. Yeah. And, and they can, you know, watch YouTube videos together. I think that's so, so great.  [00:21:19] Angela: Yeah. I mean, and I do not wanna stop that. I do not wanna put a limit on that and say, oh, you need to turn that up. I know sometimes we need to, but I like, I know that his excitement and passion for this is so great right now. [00:21:32] Yes. And I am not stopping. Totally.  [00:21:34] Maren: I also, I wanna piggyback on that. My oldest is learning all about the history of Iran right now. All on her, all on her own, and the, and all of the, the, just the you know, women's rights and all that stuff, just. Just doing all the research all the time on that and comes to us and tells us all these facts and things, and I'm like, that's amazing. [00:21:57] Had we  [00:21:57] Angela: limited  [00:21:59] Maren: mm-hmm. That [00:22:00] time, it just wouldn't happen. So, you know, it's just amazing. And then I have one child who's just doing art all the time. Mm-hmm. on their screen, on their iPad, just it's art. It's this art app. Pen, you  [00:22:12] Angela: know, like  [00:22:13] Maren: a mm-hmm. . Yeah. So it's, and it's amazing stuff. It's like amazing stuff. [00:22:19] Yeah. And I just think, well, why,  [00:22:21] Angela: why would I like squander that,  [00:22:22] Maren: that mm-hmm. excitement for that thing, so. All right. Number four is trust. Trust your gut. Trust your gut on things. Mm-hmm. Trust  [00:22:31] Angela: yourself. Mm-hmm. and trust your. Say too. Yes. Yeah. You are allowed to do that because you know, like we always say, you know, you yourself and your family the best, right? [00:22:41] Mm-hmm. , and we know as parents, you have a gut feeling of if a thing is working or not. If we need to do more of something, if we need to do less of something, if we should change something up, like where's the. The excitement for our kids, and you know that, you know that better than any expert, right? Or, you know, grandparent or like friend [00:23:00] who's a teacher. [00:23:00] You, you know that for your kids and your family. You need to trust that.  [00:23:05] Maren: Yes, and I think there is like a good. I think it's great to do a little research if you need to or whatever, do what you need to do, but also don't overdo that. Like I think about it when, you know when our kids are sick or something and then we Google something and then, you know, suddenly we think they, you know, have a terminal illness or something because of the Google results. [00:23:24] Yeah, yeah. It just brings us to this very scary place when really our gut instincts is like, you know, I should just, you know, sometimes we have to just listen to our gut and be like, I should just. My child to the doctor or not. Yeah. What it's usually the right thing. Whatever your gut is about that is probably the right thing. [00:23:43] Bring to the doctor or don't, or whatever, you know? Mm-hmm. . And I think, I think it, it's the same thing with homeschooling. Like, just trust your gut. What do you, what do you see and notice and experience with your kids?  [00:23:56] Angela: Mm-hmm. , you have so much  [00:23:58] Maren: information [00:24:00] that is intangible that nobody  [00:24:02] Angela: else will be able  [00:24:04] Maren: to. [00:24:05] Will never know those things. Mm-hmm. and only you do .  [00:24:09] Angela: Yeah. Trust it for sure. I love that. Mm-hmm. . Okay. Our last one is say yes, you have permission to say yes. I think a lot of times us included talk about saying no and taking stuff off of our plate. And we also want to tell you that you are allowed to add more things or say yes more often when your kids are asking you to, if that is what you want to do. [00:24:35] And if that works for you, you are allowed to do that. You're allowed to. You know, have a fun adventure. One day you're allowed to have a mental health day. You know, you're allowed to play games together that day. You're allowed to do whatever it is that is going to bring joy to your homeschool. [00:24:56] You're allowed to do that. You're allowed to go off for ice cream. You're allowed to get coffee in the morning. [00:25:00] Whatever you need to inject a little passion is what you should.  [00:25:05] Maren: Yes. Exactly. And a lot of times your kids will be the ones to let you know. There's something like, mom, can we do this today? [00:25:14] Mm-hmm. , I mean, I would listen to that. Mm-hmm. , maybe it's not a yes, but maybe there's something that you can, that you can say yes to around that. Mm-hmm. . But it might just be a little indicator that there's something that you could do. Yeah. For sure.  [00:25:28] Angela: All right. All right. We hope that was, That was kind of, this is like our favorite thing to talk about. [00:25:35] Yeah. We, we could talk forever. We had to coach ourselves to not talk so much. So. Yep. Exactly. Hope that was helpful for you. All right, let's move on to our loving this week. Okay. Marron what? Loving this week. All right.  [00:25:48] Maren: I'm loving a movie. It actually came out last. Holiday season, it's called Love Hard. [00:25:54] Okay. It's on Netflix. It is a pretty cheesy romcom, [00:26:00] actually but it is just, it's just such a great movie to sit down, curl up the blanket and enjoy brainless, basically. But it's so much fun, you know, it's like you don't have to think about it at all. You can just like eat it up like candy.  [00:26:15] Angela: Mm-hmm. . So this is about, I'm trying to remember, cause I did watch this last year and I loved it. [00:26:20] So if you're looking for a good holiday flick, this could be Yes. The, you know, like comfort flick you wanted? Yes. It, it  [00:26:28] Maren: just says it's an la Okay. I'll just read it quick. An LA girl, this is from imdb.com. An LA girl, unlucky in Love falls for an East coast guy on a dating app. Yeah. And decides to surprise him for the holidays. [00:26:40] Only to discover that she's  [00:26:42] Angela: been catfished. Yeah, she catfishing. Ok. Yeah.  [00:26:46] Maren: Yes. So it's very lighthearted and fun. And actually I just, I enjoyed it probably more this year than I did last year. I watched it again. Awesome. And I watched it with some of my kids. It does say TV A but [00:27:00] I would say it's probably more like PG 13, to be honest. [00:27:03] Yeah.  [00:27:03] Angela: It's like a PG 13. That's what it feels like to me. Yeah. There's no like, [00:27:07] Maren: No rated R stuff. No, I wouldn't, I don't think so. There's probably some swearing I would  [00:27:12] get.  [00:27:12] Angela: I think that's what it's, yeah. Yes. Alright. Thanks for sharing that. All right, Angela, what do you loving this week? I also have a movie, . Okay, great. Love it. This is called Glass Onion, A Knives Out story. Yay. [00:27:26] Yay. So this is basically knives. If you saw knives Out. Wow. Like two years ago,  [00:27:32] Maren: Martin, was that two? Oh, you know it's been three. It's been three. It was 2019. Wow.  [00:27:37] Angela: Yeah. Okay. Well if you haven't seen the first Knives out, you should definitely see that this is the second Knives out. We sat in the theater with family. [00:27:44] This is perfect. If you have, I would say teens or even. Between and up. Because it's like, it's a murder mystery, right? That's what it is. Mm-hmm. . But it's done in this a really fun, in innovative new way. It's also, okay. So [00:28:00] there's the only continuing character from the first Knives out movie is the Detective Daniel Craig. [00:28:06] He's the same. Okay. Otherwise they have a whole new cast of characters. Wow. And they're all. People, you know. Oh, you know, all kind of coming together. Playing kinda  [00:28:16] Maren: the last one  [00:28:16] Angela: too. A new funny. Yeah. These funny characters. These like unique characters. This Kate Hudson and Oh, fun. Yeah. You know, . Okay, I should have looked this up. [00:28:26] You know, the guy from Hamilton, the good singer. Okay. You  [00:28:30] Maren: know? Yes. Okay. I'm gonna look it up. Oh, Janelle, Moe. Yeah. Is in here. Leslie Oum Jr.  [00:28:37] Angela: Leslie oum Jr. [00:28:38] Thank you. Like I knew it term with an L. Yep. Okay. Anyway, and what I liked about it, which I think like could have been done poorly, but they did it right, was they talked about the pandemic. It's like said in the pandemic. That's great. And so there's like funny references to it that we can laugh about a little bit, little bit. [00:28:59] Right. Like  [00:28:59] Maren: [00:29:00] fun. Yes, exactly. And we can process through it. Yes.  [00:29:02] Angela: Yes. . So I actually, I liked that it was like, it was good to see that . Okay, great. So I think I think it's just a good time. And I heard it's coming to Netflix in like a few weeks  [00:29:13] Maren: very soon. Yeah. It was just out in theaters for a short time, so I'm glad you got to see it. [00:29:17] We really wanted to, but it didn't work out. So I'm really looking forward to this.  [00:29:21] Angela: All right. Thank you everybody for being here.

[00:05:29] Maren: All right, Angela, let's dive into our main topic today, which is quirky kids.  [00:05:34] Angela: Yeah. I'm excited to talk  [00:05:35] Maren: about this. Very excited because I think, I think you and I agree, having quirky kids is one of the greatest. Things that could, I think, that could come out of homeschool.  [00:05:46] Angela: What do you think? Yeah. Yes, for  [00:05:48] Maren: sure. [00:05:48] We love having quirky kids. I think they're a gift to the world. And it feels, it feels like, you know, you are really getting authenticity for [00:06:00] sure when you, when you see the corino come out of kids. People in general,  [00:06:05] Angela: for sure. Right. Yeah. Let's talk about what quirky kids are, because I feel like this is a word that maybe gets thrown out a lot and people have different definitions. [00:06:12] Right. But what we're talking about when we talk about quirky kids is kids who follow their interests Mm mm-hmm. and are confident in what they love.  [00:06:21] Maren: Yeah. And they're really just, like you said, a confident and really just okay. Being themselves, like happy to be who they are. Mm-hmm. Accepting and accepting of other people too. [00:06:33] I think it, it just kind of goes along with that as well.  [00:06:36] Angela: For sure. For sure. Mm-hmm. . Yeah. And they're not much paying attention to, you know, the out necessarily what other people are saying. They've got the they've got the freedom to follow their interests because they're homeschooling and they've got the freedom to just be gen, just be genuine and authentically who they are. [00:06:57] Right? And I just think that is a real gift that [00:07:00] comes outta homeschooling. I mean, Obviously there are quirky cut kids who go to traditional school as well. Right. And I think that's great too. But I think in homeschool your, your quirkiness can really shine . I think it's safe in a way that it can't Yes. [00:07:15] In  [00:07:16] Maren: public school. Yes. Yeah. It's safe at home. I mean, it's safe to do it. I think there is a little bit, it feels a little bit unsafe when you're around people who maybe aren't as accept.  [00:07:27] Angela: Right. All those, or you're afraid might judge you for your union  [00:07:31] Maren: interest. Exactly. Exactly. Yes. And yeah, so we love that our kids show  [00:07:37] Angela: their quirky side. [00:07:38] Maren: And it could be maybe they're like super interested in something that they, and  [00:07:43] Angela: they're, they show it up to everyone or or they  [00:07:46] Maren: just get into it or they just get into it. And I think it's just like an unapologetic love for whatever. Yeah. I think that's so great. And this can en encompass, I think, neuro divergent and neurotypical kids. [00:07:56] I think sometimes it, there's this label that it's a, [00:08:00] you know, maybe this, there's neuro divergence and I don't think that's always the case. I think a lot of times it's not. Yeah.  [00:08:06] Angela: It can be, it, it is. I mean, I think a lot of neuro divergent kids are quirky for sure. But then so are a lot of neurotypical kids. [00:08:13] Absolutely.  [00:08:14] Maren: Absolutely. Yeah. So we're talking about all  [00:08:17] Angela: kids for sure. So why do you think Marron, that it's good? Mm-hmm. to have quirky kids, especially when they're  [00:08:26] Maren: younger. Okay. Let's start with when they're younger because I , I think kids. Into the habit when they're younger, they get into the habit of being themselves. [00:08:35] Yes. It normalizes being unique. Mm-hmm. It celebrates being unique. Mm-hmm. . Being different and having different interests than your friends is the norm. It's just what? It's, it's life. . Mm-hmm. . Mm-hmm. . And I think once you get into that habit, and that's your reality when you're a kid mm-hmm. then growing up, it [00:09:00] feels a little, it feels a little  [00:09:02] Angela: off if it's  [00:09:03] Maren: not like that. [00:09:04] And so I like that our kids grow up expecting that everybody's gonna be d. And you need, And I think it creates an acceptance of a variety, not just quirkiness, but I mean any kind of Yeah. Difference diversity. Mm-hmm. of any sort. Like there is just like this understanding that we are all different mm-hmm. [00:09:26] and we appreciate  [00:09:28] Angela: differences. Yes. And I really like that. I love that too. I think I think it's joyful to see kids when they are young. Being an old, but we're talking about young kids. Yeah. Being into what they're really into. I mean, it is, I don't know. I mean, I know that I've seen my own kids and other kids. [00:09:47] Mm-hmm. excitedly. Tell me about the thing that they're into or excitedly tell whoever is willing to listen about the thing that they're into and that is So special at a young age and something that sometimes [00:10:00] gets squashed as kids get older. But you're right, if we can normalize it and expect it, Yeah. [00:10:07] Then if they aren't doing that, maybe it will feel off to them.  [00:10:11] Maren: I also, I also think, yes, like you said, it's, it's brings this joy, it spreads this joy, and that is like this love. Learning. I would, I would call it learning. Mm-hmm. , it's living, you know? Yeah, yeah. And it's contagious, I think. I think it's contagious. [00:10:29] So when, when kids are cookie, they're just really in their zone or whatever, and they're spreading this joy, it's just that is priceless. And I don't know. Just having that experience is, is, is so powerful. It's so powerful. It's so good for us. It's good for us as adults to be influenced  [00:10:46] Angela: by that . Oh yes, for sure. [00:10:49] Because that is Well, I'll just speak for myself. Mm-hmm. , I mean, that has been, you know, what's the word? Like Kind of drummed out of me as I [00:11:00] as I age. Right. Okay. Yeah. , Go ahead. I mean, so like, I mean, at least when I was a kid mm-hmm. , there were a few categories of things that were acceptable to be interested in or that were presented as possible interest, you know? [00:11:14] Right. Not that it was even acceptable or not, but that just like I knew about things I knew about that you could be interested in mm-hmm. . And so I don't know that I've really developed my quirkiness Yeah. Yeah. Until I've gotten older. Yep. Really. And like been okay. It's been okay with whatever it is. [00:11:32] Yep. And so true calling things weird or different or guilty pleasures or whatever, I don't know, but just like accepting of who, what things you're really into. Well,  [00:11:44] Maren: I think there is a point too, even now, like we, we know this, we know being, you know, having this quirkiness is so good and you, and we love the uniqueness, but I think what even today, like there is a. [00:11:57] Quirkiness when kids are little. Mm-hmm. . Mm-hmm. . [00:12:00] And then at some point we  [00:12:02] Angela: start to  [00:12:04] Maren: not get excited about their quirkiness. Now we need to like, let's be done with all it in whatever, reign it in. And now you have to like kind of get in line a little bit. So why do you think it's, why, why is it good for older kids to also have  [00:12:20] Angela: this quirkiness? [00:12:21] Well, okay, I'm, I think because then they are, First of all, being themselves. I mean, that is so important that everybody feels comfort, comfortable being themselves, right? Yes. Liking what you like, liking, knowing what you're interested in. Mm-hmm. , I think just knowing the things that are exciting to you. [00:12:40] Mm-hmm. knowing that when you're older, like let's say a teen I think is priceless. I think that's priceless. Because otherwise, You know, I just think it makes you more confident. I think it makes you know more about, and I hate to always make this the end goal, but like, what you [00:13:00] wanna do in the future. [00:13:00] Mm-hmm. . And that's not the end goal, but you know, like yeah. What kind of job might be interesting to you? I think it's, it's easier. What kind of things do I wanna study? Do I wanna take classes about a certain thing? You know? I think it's easier. Be confident and know what those things are. Yes. [00:13:17] Instead of being more lost.  [00:13:19] Maren: Well, I wouldn't even say it, Angela. I don't think it's necessarily an end goal. I think what you're saying is just like we do spend a lot of time at our jobs , you know, when we're an adult. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, and it would be great to hone in on something that you. You know, is, is really in line with your values and your interests and your skills and, and your experiences and things like that. [00:13:42] And it, it might not be permanent. You know, we know, we know that many people switch jobs  [00:13:48] Angela: and careers throughout their, their lives.  [00:13:50] Maren: So it's not necessarily  [00:13:51] an  [00:13:51] Angela: ending, but it is, like, there are,  [00:13:53] Maren: you know, there's a, certainly a commitment level, you know, to jobs. Mm-hmm. . Mm-hmm. . So I think it's, we know, we [00:14:00] know how much, you know, our jobs. [00:14:03] Have influenced us and, you know, affected us. And so it's so good to know to even get close closer Yeah. To something that you, you wanna do. Ah, it's so good. So just to, to have that self knowledge and awareness is so, so  [00:14:20] Angela: key, right? Mm-hmm. . And I think, I think what I meant by. Not making it the end. Mm. It's just that like, I know so many adult, well mean well meaning adults. [00:14:32] Mm-hmm. , you know, put pressure on kids from the time that they're little Yes. To, and asking them like, What do you wanna do when you grow up like this?  [00:14:40] Maren: What do you wanna do with your life? Yeah. You know? Yeah. From kindergarten. Yes. What's, what do you wanna do? A job.  [00:14:46] Angela: Yeah. Right. It's a lot. So so I guess that's what I meant. [00:14:49] Yes. But you're right. I know. It is, it is important because your job is a lot of your life when you're older. So,  [00:14:56] Maren: I mean, and, and when you are, when you're a teen, you [00:15:00] really are thinking about that. You know, it's not like Yeah. Not like a, you know, a far off thing, like from when you are in preschooler mm-hmm. [00:15:07] it's like, no, I mean, this isn't a. I gotta think about this. Yeah. I should, I should be thinking and planning. Right? But I also think it affects your whole life in that way too. It's like you get to kind of curate this life that works best for you too. It's not even just doing what you like, but like having the habits that work best for the way your brain works. [00:15:28] It's all so good, and  [00:15:30] Angela: I think that knowing the way that you learn, knowing the way  [00:15:32] Maren: that you learn, knowing the way you, that you organize, knowing the way that you know, you need to set up your, I don't know, set up your kitchen . They're just, or just set up your life. Set up your life friends. These are the type of friends that you know, help me thrive in my life. [00:15:49] Mm-hmm. . Mm-hmm. . These are some of the things that I just, you know, need to have in place. Those are all things that like, I think help when you are fostering this, you know, quirkiness in your kids.  [00:15:59] Angela: For sure. [00:16:00] For sure. Yeah. I also think definitely. You know, in the teen years. Mm-hmm. friends are important. [00:16:06] Peers are important, Yes. And I just think if, if your child is comfortable with themselves and with their unique interests and who they are, I think that has such a positive effect on the other kids around them. Absolutely. Do you see somebody being themselves? It is so inspiring. Yeah. It's, to me for sure, like I see somebody into something cool that I hadn't, you know, Thought about before or just being unapologetically themselves. [00:16:36] Yeah. I feel so inspired to do that myself. Yes, yes, yes. So I think that's really, really key. And to find friends  [00:16:45] Maren: who accept, accept each other for their quirkiness. . Right. That is, that's so, that's so key too. And that like, kind of goes back that we talked about how important it is, you know, it's how great it is that our kids are, you know, so unique and quirky when they're young, [00:17:00] so that when they're older they're like, Hey, like if there is a friendship that's happening and there isn't that acceptance or something's off, then they feel that they're like, This doesn't feel right because mm-hmm. [00:17:09] I'm just, you know, I am, I am this person. If you don't like it, then that's, there's something. You're not accepting about me or whatever. And there can be dialogue about that, but it's good to understand. Mm-hmm. . Yeah.  [00:17:21] Angela: So, So, okay. How do you think we should foster quirkiness in kids?  [00:17:26] That's a big question. [00:17:28] Yeah. I wanna say, first off, I think if you're homeschooling, if you're listening to this and you're homeschooling, I think you're already probably doing it. You know, I mean, I think homeschooling in and of itself is helpful in that way because everything is kind of personalized already, probably are you know, gearing things towards their interests. [00:17:46] They probably have time to their interest. , they have time for the things that they're interested in. Yep. And so I think you're probably already doing it.  [00:17:54] Maren: Yes. Yes. That is so true. Yeah. I was just gonna say, I think that was like, I think that's the [00:18:00] biggest thing that contributed, you know, for my kids is just time to be themselves. [00:18:07] Time to play they way, the way they wanted to play and just  [00:18:11] Angela: grow  [00:18:12] Maren: their pretend world. You know, and, and without without constraint.  [00:18:19] Angela: for so long, I hadn't thought about that, but time. Mm-hmm. , you're right, because kids when they're in school are so busy. They are so busy with school, you know, during the day and homework and then fitting in other activities. [00:18:33] That, and family time and sleep and homework. Yes. It's just, it's hard to really develop your interests. When you're  [00:18:40] Maren: in school and it's, Yes. And it's not just a practical thing. It's not, It's not just the time, but it, the time is communicating, I think, to the kids. Mm-hmm. , the most important thing for you to do is to do the things that the adults are telling you to do all day long, you know, or whatever. [00:18:57] Mm-hmm. , that's the important thing. [00:19:00] Prioritize that. Yeah. Don't prioritize your own interests and who you are as a person. Mm-hmm. . And I think that that is a mistake. Yeah. We need to communicate with our time. Mm-hmm. our priorities.  [00:19:14] Angela: Yes. And  [00:19:15] Maren: so for our, you know, our priorities, for me, my priorities for our kids was to be themselves, be creative. [00:19:24] Mm-hmm. , love learning. Mm-hmm. , enjoy the way they love learning, and be curious and just go down rabbit holes. And they did that. They did that. Yeah. And it was so good. I will say when my kids were younger and they were doing that, I, of course, You know, a wrestling match in my head every day. Like, Oh my gosh, we're not getting to all these other things. [00:19:47] Angela: Yeah, we should be doing math, we should be doing reading or whatever.  [00:19:50] Maren: Yes, we try every single day. Yeah, every single day. I remember honestly like standing in the middle of my living room looking around at just the [00:20:00] chaos or around me going, I'm never gonna be able to wrangle this in. Yeah. But, and, and then also thinking like, why do I think I need to. [00:20:09] And so I don't know.  [00:20:10] Angela: Now looking at wrestling, is that lately mm-hmm. , right?  [00:20:13] Maren: Yes. And so looking back, I'm just so glad that a lot of the time I open the space up for that Right. Space and time for that. Right,  [00:20:20] Angela: Right. So it's mostly encouraging those things that they're interested in instead of mm-hmm. [00:20:26] You know, diminishing them or whatever. Yes. Instead of suggesting other things, instead of prioritizing other things. Really encouraging those things that they're interested in. Mm-hmm. . Mm-hmm. , whatever  [00:20:35] Maren: that is. Yep. And then the other thing I think that's really important is to just own our own quirkiness. [00:20:41] Like you said, Angela, you're learning about your own quirkiness right now. And, and like, Kind of growing into that, and I think that that's so good for our kids to see too. It  [00:20:51] Angela: is definitely  [00:20:52] Maren: a unique set of interests and  [00:20:54] Angela: skills too. Right? And sharing that with your kids and sharing your own journey [00:21:00] in that way. [00:21:00] Yes. And yeah, I think is really, really important because, you know, most things are about modeling and I mm-hmm. , I, mm-hmm. . Mm-hmm. It is, like I said, because I'm kind of, I feel like late to the game in this way. Mm-hmm. , I mean, I've definitely always had interest, but you know, some things I felt embarrassed about or Mm. [00:21:19] Kind of squashed, or like, I don't, actually, mostly it was like, I didn't feel like I had a wide variety of things to pick from for interest. It's like, well, do you wanna do a sport or music or both . Right, right, right.  [00:21:32] Maren: You know? And there was a limited amount of music amount of those. Of both. Yeah. Yeah. So it was either, Volleyball, basketball or stop Yeah. [00:21:41] For me, you know which of those three.  [00:21:44] Angela: Yeah. Yeah. So I think learning about the, the world and just like how many options there are and like testing things out and I just, for me, that's like a lifelong practice and yes, [00:22:00] the sooner my kids can get started on. And finding their own joys, I just think the better off they're gonna be. [00:22:06] And so I really do want to encourage and model that for them. For  [00:22:11] Maren: sure. And even if, even if our kids do choose a very maybe traditional career, I think that's great. Yeah. And they can have. They will, I think, value interests outside of their job too, which is just so healthy and you know, having a way to, to balance  [00:22:30] Angela: your life out. [00:22:31] Having a full life that's having a full life more than just your job, but you also have other  [00:22:35] Maren: Yes, exactly. Yeah, and you're right, like you said, example is so powerful just mm-hmm. . Watching your parents have those quirky interests is probably more powerful than anything else. Anything else, Right? For sure. [00:22:50] What's your quirky thing? I don't know. I mean I, I'm, I'm kind of figuring that myself out too. I mean, I have a lot of, I have a lot of interests, you know, I love doing. A lot of [00:23:00] different things, but like recently, like I think I, I think I talked about this on Patreon, maybe not on the main podcast, but in our Facebook, you know, by nothing group, we, Oh, there was a free. [00:23:12] Organ. Yeah. Somebody was giving away a free organ and I took it . Yeah. Right away. That's quirky. It's amazing. That is  [00:23:20] Angela: quirky. I didn't think  [00:23:21] Maren: about it at the time, but I was like, Oh, that was okay. I look back and I'm like, Yeah, that was pretty quirky. That's yeah, so, because I love, I love the  [00:23:30] Angela: organ . Have you been playing it? [00:23:33] A little bit. A little bit, Yeah.  [00:23:34] Maren: And we're, you know, the kids are enjoying it a lot for sure. Oh, that's awesome. Yeah.  [00:23:39] Angela: All right, let's move on to our lt. Ws Loving this week, right? Yes. Yeah. Mar, what are you loving?  [00:23:45] Maren: Okay. I am loving it's a podcast that I listen to all the time, this American Life. Oh, yeah.

And the description says, we hear from kids who are dealing with some of the country's most contentious debates. Oh. No debates that are supposedly about them. Mm.

You know, if you're listening to this podcast you know, have a heart for kids and are thinking about just the things that kids are dealing with these days, and this is these are just personal stories about those things and Okay,  [00:24:41] Angela: everybody needs to listen to it.

Digital creator Dylan Marron has racked up millions of views for projects like "Every Single Word" and "Sitting in Bathrooms With Trans People" -- but he's found that the flip side of success online is internet hate. Over time, he's developed an unexpected coping mechanism: calling the people who leave him insensitive comments and asking a simple question: "Why did you write that?" In a thoughtful talk about how we interact online, Marron explains how sometimes the most subversive thing you can do is actually speak with people you disagree with, not simply at them. Listen to Dylan's podcast, "Conversations With People Who Hate Me", wherever you get your podcasts.
