What is the keystone that connects wisdom from your past with the inspiration and faith in your future? What does "a constant curiosity" have to do with my past and my future? "Creative people must have a constant curiosity." - Robert D. Hales "Curiosity urges us to ask questions, to seek out a range of resources and perspectives, to seek answers to those questions. And, to critically evaluate our experiences as we synthesize all information into a new understanding. These skills allow us to open our thoughts and experiences to new ways of thinking." - Rachel Wadham, Educational and Juvenile Literature Librarian.

To cultivate godliness within ourselves, we must develop wisdom, curiosity, and patience in mortality to prepare for what is to come. Rachel Wadham, Senior Librarian at the BYU Harold B. Lee Library, delivered this devotional address on June 28, 2022. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to The Apple Seed! Some time filled with stories for you and your family. Since 2013 we've been bringing you tall tales, personal tales, fairy tales, historical tales and more. All kinds of tales, from all kinds of tellers. The healing power of love is a very important factor in many stories. Throughout life, we aim to take care of ourselves as well as those around us. Mothers and fathers take care of children, neighbors and friends help each other socially, and many professionals like doctors, social workers, law enforcement officers, teachers, and many others all provide necessary service for those around them. In this episode we will see the explanation of some beautiful acts of service for oneself as well as others. It is important to think about how we can better serve not only ourselves, but those around us as we grow older and learn more about life. Let these stories -although lighthearted and jovial- be a lesson to how we can understand and help one another even through treacherous times.

Welcome to The Apple Seed! Some time filled with stories for you and your family. Since 2013 we've been bringing you tall tales, personal tales, fairy tales, historical tales and more. All kinds of tales, from all kinds of tellers. In this life, we all have talents and gifts of different sorts. Some of us are good at singing or dancing, while others of us are very kind. Whatever our talents, we all have something to share in this world. This works out great, because no one's good at everything. When we find ourselves in a situation where our talents can't help us, we can always reach out and ask others for help. In today's stories, we'll see how useful it is to get help when we need it, and give help to others when it's our turn.

Rachel Wadham, MAEducation and Juvenile Collections Librarian, Senior Librarian, Brigham Young University“I truly believe that children's literature, and particularly children's fiction, and all of that type of thing that encompasses story, is really important to an educational experience. . . . If we all think about how we learn and how we learn best, we can connect that to story.”

From Mice defeating a Mongolian army, to a man covered with bees, to a small dog who just won't go to sleep, you'll hear all sorts of tales on today's episode of The Apple Seed. We hope that these tales will inspire you to share your own tales and memories with those you love. The sharing of stories is one of the best ways to bring people closer together, to teach, to entertain, and to create good change in the world. There are few traditions in the world as ancient as story in all its forms. Here's to the stories that have changed the world and the lives of those in it.

Fairy dust, unicorns, diet coke? For me, I think of tacos. Now I'm not talking about your fast food, 99 cent tacos; rather, your spicy, authentic tacos that you wash down with a crisp coca-cola. Today we have Raul Ortega, the owner of Mariscos Jalisco, L.A.'s repeatedly top-rated taco shop, here to tell us what makes a taco authentic and how to find the best taco shop wherever you live.  Seeking Closure (1:30:44)We often refer to different periods in our lives as chapters. Eras that open and close, replete with different characters—all with their own individual story arcs. But as we all know, all good (and bad) things must come to an end. Sometimes, however, things don't end the way we want them to. We're left unsatisfied with the way the event transpired and with how it ended. So, we seek closure. What makes us seek closure? Is it just part of our DNA? Dr. Iskra Fileva, assistant professor of philosophy at the University Colorado, Boulder, is here to discuss closure, why we as humans crave it, and how to obtain it.

Roadtrip! (0:00:00)With summer coming up, a lot of us are probably thinking that a road trip might be the way to go.

Well, as part of Lisa's Adventure Club, we wanted to give you some destination ideas to help you plan your next road trip. Joe Yogerst is a writer for National Geographic and author of “100 Drives, 5,000 Ideas.” He has a lot of great ideas, so we invited him on the show today to share his tips and tricks.  Learning from the Hard Parts of History (0:13:33)You've probably heard the saying that those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it. But how do you teach your kids about past events that still make you cringe... like the slave trade, Native American persecution, or the Holocaust? These stories still make us uncomfortable, and we wish we didn't have to tell our kids about the dark side of humanity. But by teaching them where our ancestors went wrong, then hopefully they can do better and avoid the same mistakes. With us today to address the importance of learning about the hard parts of history is professor of history Matthew Mason.  Finding Hope (0:32:54)Despite all the hard things going on in my own life, I try to be as hopeful and positive as I possibly can, because that's the kind of person I want to be. But that's not easy for everyone. And sometimes I even struggle with it. So, when life is less than ideal, which it is for all of us at one time or another, what do we do? Well we invited Heidi Tucker, a speaker and author who has written books about rising from tragedy and finding hope, on the show today to talk about how to find hope when the tough times strike.  Eco Friendly Lawn Care (0:50:39)It's a part of the American Dream to have that perfect front lawn and white picket fence. But when that lawn requires excessive watering and harmful chemicals, they can cause some serious harm to the environment. So, what are the eco-friendly options for lawn care? Here to share some ideas with us is Linda Ly, founder of the popular home and gardening site Garden Betty.  Mini Book Club: Goodreads Award Winners (1:05:00)Rachel Wadham , of BYU Radio's Worlds Awaiting , talks with Lisa and Richie about the best books to read that were Goodreads Award Winners this year.  Pet Adoption (1:25:06)Did you know that approximately 6.5 million dogs and cats are put in shelters every year? If you're an animal lover, that high number can really pull at your heart strings. With April 30th being national pet adoption day, we thought we'd talk about what makes adopting from animal shelters a great choice for those looking to add a furry friend to their family. Here to tell us all about pet adoption is Deann Shepard. Deann is the Director of Marketing and Communications for the Humane Society of Utah.

Adventure is an Attitude (0:00:00)The definition of adventure is the excitement and the exploration of the unknown. By those terms, we are all living an adventure as we are definitely exploring and living through the unknown. Perhaps many of our trips and plans were dashed during this experience. But a cancelled flight or a refunded hotel doesn't mean that you can't still find adventure in your life. We are talking today with a friend of the show, Martin Hurlburt, who has lived as much adventure in his life as possible. He coins the phrase, “adventure is an attitude”.  Comedic Relief (0:14:12)Is anyone here stressed? I am! We wanted to know the best antidote to stress, and, shockingly enough, it isn't a bubble bath. It's laughing! Research shows that a good, hearty, laugh can relax the body for up to 45 minutes afterward, release feel-good endorphins, shifts perspective, and takes the edge off distressing emotions. So this made me wonder—how can we laugh more? To help us with this endeavor, we've invited Josh Fonokalafi onto the show. Josh is an actor and a comedian!   Bring Your Kids to Work From Home (0:35:00)Today is national “bring your kids to work day”... but it's not the same as it once was in the offices of days past. Lately we've all had to bring our work to our kids. But how is that actually panning out? I think we can all relate to our kids crashing our zoom meetings and having to take breaks in our work schedule to make lunch or ensure they're doing their schoolwork. We know it's been hard for parents to adapt to this, so we invited friend of the show Adelia Moore to help us figure out how to manage “bring your kids to work day” every day, and maybe how we can involve our kids in our work a little bit more. Adelia is an author and clinical psychologist who specializes in families and young adults.   Living with College Kids (0:50:35)When colleges moved their classes online, many kids packed up their dorm rooms and apartment sa few months early and headed back to their childhood bedrooms. For these adult children, it has been especially difficult to move back under their parent's roof after living independently for so long. And for the parents, trying to force their college kids to live by their household rules has been no easy task. And to top it all off, COVID-19 has put a special little twist on the whole situation making it impossible for either party to leave quarantine and get some space. So, how can parents and their adult children learn to live with each other during this time? Here to share her advice with us is author and social psychologist, Susan Newman.   Mini Book Club: Award Winners (1:08:46)Rachel Wadham of BYU Radio's Worlds Awaiting talks with Lisa and Richie about the newest award winning books that we should check out.   Different Types of Flour (1:28:03)From bread to biscuits, cookies to cake, baking is the art of turning flour into food. Cooking with different kinds of flours might sound exciting but choosing the wrong type can lead to a culinary disaster. Knowing the differences of each one will help you feel more comfortable in the kitchen and greatly improve the quality of your creations! Here to help us sift through the details of different kinds of flour and discuss when each one should be used when baking different recipes is Tanya Quinn . Tanya is a home chef.

Adventure comes in many forms, and as we talk about our adventure club today, we want to show you that adventure is still possible even when you're following the mandated rules we've all been given to stay inside. One way to bring adventure into your life and try something new is through cooking. This is a great time to use up the food you stocked up in your fridge and to experiment with new recipes. Joining us today to talk about how to make cooking an adventure is personal and television chef Lindsey Hargett.  Composting 101 (0:18:14)Have you noticed your family wasting a lot of food? Are your plants looking limp? We have great news for you! There's a simple way to both reduce food waste and give your plants a shot of nutrition at the same time. What's the secret? Composting! However, composting can seem a little bit intimidating at first, so we've invited C.L. Fornari, an author and radio host known as “the Garden Lady”.  Job Hunting in a Pandemic (0:36:26)If you have ever been in the process of job hunting, you know that it can be an exciting, nerve-wracking and risky time in life. But now that we are facing this economic crisis and the highest rate of unemployment in U.S. history, the thought of job hunting might make you sick to your stomach. There are many people struggling with work, and we just want you to know that we are thinking of you and we are hoping that everyone can come out on the other side of this. With that being said, we wanted to talk to our friend Justin Jones, who is a career development manager and self-named “job coach” about the job hunt and what it might look like for millions of people today.  Finding Screen Balance in Quarantine (0:50:34)One of the biggest transitions we're all having to make is moving everything online. So, whether we're working from home, taking classes from home, or trying to entertain our kids from home, I think we can all relate to feeling plugged in all the time. But are anyone else's eyes starting to hurt from staring at their screen for hours? Well we want to help you get off your screens. So here to share with us her tips on how we can unplug during quarantine or social distancing and the benefits of doing so isCatherine Price, founder of Screen Life Balance.  Mini Book Club: Most Requested Books (1:07:10)Rachel Wadham, of BYU Radio's Worlds Awaiting , talks with Lisa and Richie about the books that are requested most often at the library.  Coping with Missed Milestones (1:28:43)Because social distancing is vital to reducing the spread of COVID-19, many big events have been cancelled across the country including graduations, proms, sports championships, weddings, and many more. Losing these milestone moments can be extremely difficult for the people involved, as many have spent years or even their whole lives anticipating them. While we can't change our circumstances, finding ways to cope with these hardships will encourage us to stay positive. Here to give us some tips on how we can deal with our emotions and find other ways to celebrate is Abby Beerman. Abby is the injury prevention coordinator at the University of Vermont Medical Center.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have said that the number one way to reduce the spread of the coronavirus is to wash our hands. But how do we do it right? And does hand sanitizer actually help? Here to help us get answers is Dr. David Berendez of the CDC.  Spring Fever (0:34:48)It is officially spring. Did you feel the change in seasons? This feeling of change is often described as “Spring Fever.” For many, this term describes the excitement we feel as we anticipate all the things that make up spring: more sunshine, flowers blooming and baby forest animals. But it's not just a made-up idea. It's based on environmental and biological factors that make us feel an actual shift this time of year. Joining us to discuss the science behind “Spring Fever” is Dr. Dan Oren of Yale University who has studied how light affects our mood and energy.  Home Gym (0:50:35)I've always been jealous of people that have amazing at-home-gyms. But I have to be honest... Even if I did have a great home gym, I would probably still struggle to find the motivation to work out. Now that working out at home is everyone's only option, I think the real obstacle is getting yourself out of bed and on that treadmill. So, what can we do to motivate ourselves to get that blood pumping? Here to share with us his tips is Tim Kessler, fitness expert and co-founder of GymPerson.com. You can find Tim's recommendations for our listeners here.  Mini Book Club: Best Book Series (1:12:17)Rachel Wadham , of BYU Radio's Worlds Awaiting , talks with Lisa and Richie about the best book series that we should check out.  Coping with Toxic People (1:25:05)We can experience toxic relationships in our families, in the workplace, and among friend groups.

At-Home Adventures (0:00:00)Social distancing doesn't mean you can't still have adventures, especially if your family is all home with you.

Today for Lisa's Adventure Club, we want to show you how to have fun while indoors and come up with unique ways to keep your kids entertained.

She is also finding new ways to have adventures with her family during this time.  Reconnecting With Teenagers (0:15:50)The teen years are weird and awkward for everybody, but they can be especially hard on boys and their parents.

Here with us to answer this question is Dr. Laura Markham. She is a psychologist, author, and parenting coach.  Dry Hands and Handwashing (0:37:04)The CDC has advised that we wash our hands thoroughly and often to stay healthy. In fact, there are 5 steps to wash your hands the right way: Wet, Lather, Scrub, Rinse and Dry. But that last step may be leaving a lot of you with flaked, dry, cracked hands that are actually more susceptible to germs and other bacteria according to the American Academy of Dermatology. Moisturizing is an important step to the handwashing process, and to help us understand how we can best implement good techniques is Dr. Adam Friedman of the American Academy of Dermatology.  Social Distancing (0:50:34)As we are all dealing with the coronavirus, we would like to reinforce the idea of social distancing. The CDC has guidelines for how you can implement this practice, and encourages everyone to make a conscious effort to follow. To help us understand this practice and how we can stay calm while doing our best to prevent the spread of COVID-19 is Carolyn Cannuscio , a social epidemiologist and Associate Professor of Family Medicine and Community Health at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania.  Mini Book Club: Business and Nonprofit Books (1:06:59)Rachel Wadham , of BYU Radio's Worlds Awaiting , talks with Lisa and Richie about the best books about business and nonprofits to read during the COVID-19 quarantine.  Working Remotely (1:26:03)Due to safety concerns regarding the coronavirus, many companies have decided to have their employees work from home. While this will help stop the spread of the virus, a study done by VitalSmarts shows that more than 1 in 5 employees don't feel their team members have good enough collaboration habits to work effectively from home. Despite the inherent challenges, businesses and employees can be successful working remotely with some mindful adjustments. Here to share some tips on how businesses should approach this change and continue to run effectively while employees work from home is Joseph Grenny. Joseph is the cofounder of VitalSmarts, a leadership training company.

From Acquaintance to Best Friend (0:00:00)Do you have a lot of surface level friends? I think that sometimes we get so busy that we don't invest a lot into our friendships. We keep our friends at arm's length and centimeter deep. It's not that we don't like them, it's just hard to find time or energy to connect with them. And if they're a new acquaintance, finding common ground is always a challenge. That's why we have Dr. Marisa Franco with us today, a psychologist and friendship expert, to talk with us about how we can form closer friends and deepen the friendships we've already made.  What's in a Name? (0:16:17)In Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare wrote, “What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” He seemed to be on to something here... this idea that names can't change who we really are. Yet, we're still so fascinated with names. They stick with us forever. So, we invited Dr. Cleveland Evans, professor of psychology and former president of the American Name Society, to talk with us about the significance of names and how they affect us.  Career Mentors for Teens (0:37:11)For many of us, we probably switched our college major multiple times before settling on one. And even after we graduated college, our career paths have taken many twists and turns. Figuring out your future takes time and trying different jobs to find whatyou like. And helping our kids figure out their career path can be just as stressful, because we're invested in their future as much as our own. If you're in this situation where you're trying to help your kids make big decisions for their lives, you might consider finding a career mentor. Joining us today to help us understand what a career mentor is and how to find one, is Dr. Jennifer Powell-Lunder, a clinical psychologist.  Black Literature (0:50:37)Many of us remember reading authors like Charles Dickens, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Ernest Hemingway in high school, but too often, either intentionally or unintentionally, English classes focus purely on white male authors such as these and end up cutting out important works of literature written by people of color. Because this month is black history month, we want to spend some time discussing how black literature is taught in schools, and how we can do a better job of including authors of all colors in school curriculums. Here to share their perspectives on the subject is Dr. Riche Richardson, professor of African American Literature, and poet Dr. Randall Horton.  Mini Book Club: Revived Classics (1:09:20)Rachel Wadham, of BYU Radio's Worlds Awaiting, talks with Lisa and Richie about the classic books that are still worth picking up today.  Mindsets (1:25:37)Do you ever wonder why you see things differently than those around you? While one person may see a situation as a challenge meant to be avoided, another might see it as an opportunity for growth. It all depends on our mindsets! Mindsets shape the lives we lead and the actions we take, so knowing how to fine-tune your mindset is important! Here to tell us everything we need to know about developing the right mindset for success is Ryan Gottfredson. Ryan is a mental success coach and leadership consultant.

Cryptozoology (0:00:00)Do you believe in Bigfoot? Cryptozoology is the study of hidden animals, including creatures like Bigfoot, Bothman and the Loch Ness Monster, among others. Now if you're a skeptic, you might think all these add up tois just blurry photos and shaky videos, but if you're a believer—you might have some different ideas about what's lurking in the underbrush. So what is the truth? Here to tell us a little bit about what he thinks and about where these myths meet with science is Dr. Jeff Meldrum, Professor of Anatomy & Anthropology and author of "Sasquatch: Legend Meets Science."   Mini Book Club: February Reads (0:17:30)Rachel Wadham, of BYU Radio's Worlds Awaiting, talks with Lisa and Richie about the best books to read this month.  Everyday Rockstar (0:28:31)Lisa and Richie talk with one listener about their Everyday Rockstar Moment. You can send your Everyday Rockstar Moments to thelisashow@byu.edu and you or someone you know could be featured too.  American Heart Month (0:37:27)During February, we have a lot of different hearts on our minds. Candy hearts, balloon hearts, heart shaped greeting cards. But with it being national heart month, we should all take sometime to think aboutour physical heart health and educate ourselves so we can prevent heart disease and live long, happy lives. Here to tell us everything we need to know about keeping our hearts healthy is Dr. Philip B. Adamson. Dr. Adamson is the divisional vice president and medical director at Abbott, working specifically in cardiology.

Impossible Burgers (0:00:00)You've seen it everywhere –the impossible meat craze is taking the fast food industry by storm. Who knew that a patty made from plants and soy could taste like a regular hamburger? These burgers have been a major perk for vegan fast food eaters, and hearing the ingredient list for impossible meat can make you think that you could replace it with your daily vegetables. But is the burger really that much healthier for you than a regular beef patty? Joining us today is Tracy Beckerman, a nationally known nutrition expert, here to weigh in on the true healthiness of impossible meat.   In Praise of Wasting Time (0:14:03)It's incredibly hard to allow ourselves to unwind without feeling this mounting urge to do something “productive.” There's always a to-do list to check off. And with so few hours in the day, we often tell ourselves that we don't have time to waste time. But our next guest says that there's value in wasting time. In fact, it's important to our well-being. With us today is Dr. Alan Lightman, a physicist, professor at M. I. T., and author of the ground-breaking book "In Praise of Wasting Time."  Everyday Rockstar (0:29:58)Lisa and Richie talk with one listener about their Everyday Rockstar Moment. You can send your Everyday Rockstar Moments to thelisashow@byu.edu and you or someone you know could be featured too.  Calendaring (0:50:37)Are you someone who keeps a written calendar or planner of your day, week, month or even year? Many studies have shown that keeping your plans written down helps with organizing time management, increasing productivity, and lowering anxiety. Knowing there are such amazing benefits to calendaring, we wanted to know the best ways to arrange our own calendars. So, we invited John Zeratsky, a productivity expert and author of the book "Make Time: How to Focus on What Matters Everyday," to discuss this topic.   Cryptozoology (1:07:22)Do you believe in Bigfoot? Cryptozoology is the study of hidden animals, including creatures like Bigfoot, Bothman and the Loch Ness Monster, among others. Now if you're a skeptic, you might think all these add up tois just blurry photos and shaky videos, but if you're a believer—you might have some different ideas about what's lurking in the underbrush. So what is the truth? Here to tell us a little bit about what he thinks and about where these myths meet with science is Dr. Jeff Meldrum, Professor of Anatomy & Anthropology and author of "Sasquatch: Legend Meets Science."   Mini Book Club: February Reads (1:18:23)Rachel Wadham, of BYU Radio's Worlds Awaiting, talks with Lisa and Richie about the best books to read this month.  American Heart Month (1:27:19)During February, we have a lot of different hearts on our minds.

Explain Anything to Anyone (0:00:00)I love telling people about things I'm passionate about... like theater and books and parenting, because I want people to love these things as much as I do. But sometimes, people just don't care, because they can't relate. They don't understand how hard it is to memorize lines, they haven't read the same books, or they're not a parent. But the way we explain our favorite topics could help others not only grasp them but also recognize how cool they are. Our next guest has had to explain concepts much more complicated than books. Former physicist Dr. Dominic Walliman joins us today to discuss how to explain anything to anyone.  Worst Tech of the Decade (0:17:01)In the last ten years, technology has changed a bunch. Can you believe that in 2010 we still used cell phones with those sliding keyboards, and the latest iPhone was only the iPhone 4? Crazy. In the last several years we've seen the advent of self-driving cars, drones, and wireless headphones. While cool new tech seems to be coming out all the time, there's also been plenty of tech flops. Today we thought we'd take a trip down memory lane and reminisce on some of the worst tech from the last decade. Joining us is Rod Gustafson, a tech expert, former producer, and friend of the show.  Nice Girls Don't (0:35:13)Despite the progress we've made over the years, women's careers still tend to be complicated. Why is this? And how can we, as a whole, move towards equality in all aspects? Today we have Dr. Lois Frankel, author of the New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling “Nice Girls Don't” business books, renowned career coach and women's advocate, to share tools women can use to feel valued, as well as what we can all do to teach our daughters to be heard.   Memories (0:50:38)Sam Payne, master storyteller and host of BYU Radio's The Apple Seed, talks with Lisa and Richie about the value of memories and what we can do to cherish the ones that mean the most to us.  Mini Book Club: Feel Good Books (1:04:03)Rachel Wadham, of BYU Radio's Worlds Awaiting, chats with Lisa and Richie about the best books to read when you're looking to be uplifted.  Be Different (1:25:40)Most businesses are the same. The typical full-time employee spends 45 hours on the clock each week. A lack of trust among peers is all too common today. And too often businesses are focused on how they can improve the organization rather than the individuals who work for them. But the truth is, if you want to succeed, whether in business or your career or life, being different makes all the difference. But what exactly needs to change for us to succeed? Here to tell us what we can do to succeed in our jobs, careers, and the workplace, is Stan Silverman. Stan Silverman is the former president and chief executive officer of PQ Corporation and the author of the book "BE DIFFERENT! The Key To Business And Career Success."

Staying Social When You're Busy (0:00:00)As parents, weekdays are filled with things like work, school, music lessons, and trips to the grocery store. Our busy schedules can often get in the way of us connecting withour friends and family. Luckily, there might be a few ways we can make time for both our work life and our social life. And it doesn't take as much effort as we may think. Our next guest is Leslie Baker, a marriage and family therapist, who's here to share her advice for keeping your social life alive while managing a crazy schedule.  Tummy Time (0:15:07)Infant care is so important for babies to grow and develop to become strong. There are many resources you can use to help your babies as they are growing and learning about the world around them. One of those is through tummy time. Tummy time not only helps babies become strong physically, but it also helps babies in other developmental aspects. We are joined today by two Tummy Time Method professionals Anne Tullis and Sherri Gunn, who are also friends of The Lisa Show, as they discuss what it means to be a tummy time expert and how parents can better use this method.  Coping With Seasonal Depression (0:33:46)We've now reached the time of year where we question if the holidays ever really happened, and the beautiful Christmas snow is brown and sloshy. To top it off, the car heater just can't seem to blow warm air until the last 30 seconds of our drive when we are already pulling into work. Not to be totally negative, but January is tough! I think we all experience a little bit of winter blues at some point, some more than others. In fact, approximately half a million people in the United States suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder, more commonly known as Seasonal Depression. So what can we do to feel better when our winter days seem extra dark? Psychologist Dr. Kristin Bianchi joins us today to share ways in which we can combat seasonal depression and make the most of our winter.  What's in Your Diet Soda? (0:50:39)I don't usually drink soda, but I love my Diet Coke dearly. But are these “diet” products really as “diet” as they say they are? Recently big soda companies like Coke and Dr. Pepper have been taken to court after being sued over claims that their products don't promote weight loss like their “diet” labels might suggest. While this might be a no brainer for some, every can does proudly claim that there's zero calories inside. But the real question is, if there aren't any calories in there... what is? Here to tell us a little bit more about what's really in our favorite diet sodas, and what the effects of those are is Dr. Allison Sylvetsky.  Mini Book Club (1:05:25)Rachel Wadham, of BYU Radio's Worlds Awaiting, talks with Lisa and Richie about the best books that came out during the year 2019.  Taking Care of Dry Hair in Winter (1:25:39)During the winter, the cold outside weather combined with dry indoor heat can wreak havoc on your hair. We're talking dryness, static, frizz, and a general lack of shine. So how can we best take care of our locks during this time of year? Here to tell us what we can do is Michelle Lindsay. Michelle Lindsay is a hair stylist, an instructor for L'oreal Professionnel, and a friend of The Lisa Show.

With us today is Natalie Compton, a travel writer who has covered travel and food on every continent.  Refreshing Your Home on a Budget (0:31:51)If home is where the heart is, shouldn't we make our home as comfortable and inspiring as possible?

But sometimes, despite your hard work to make your home a nice place to be, it needs a little refreshing. Well today we've invited Allison Bean, from The Spruce, onto the show to share how we can refurbish our home on a budget.  Physical Effects of Lying (0:50:32)While some people have a stone-cold poker face, others squirm uncomfortably at the slightest thought of dishonesty. Their faces distort as they tell a lie. Some, like in the recent movie "Knives Out," even puke as they fabricate falsehoods. It seems like lying has a physical effecton us. Here to tell us what happens to our bodies and brains when we lie and why we have these reactions is author and scientist Dr. Bill Sullivan.  Mini Book Club: Quick Reads (1:06:33)Rachel Wadham, of BYU Radio's Worlds Awaiting, talks with Lisa and Richie about the books that are perfect for when you don't have much time.  Working Out in Groups (1:26:02)Many of the new year's goals we set are fitness related and while they come from a place of determination it can be hard to stick with them.
