Episode 28 - Thumbs Up for Grilled Cheese

It's time for a monthly roundup of what we've been watching, reading, and listening to during this month of staying at home. As we get deeper into the pandemic, we find that we're doing one of two things: seeking out books and movies that teach us something and seeking out the familiar to soothe us during uncertain times. Katie alerts us to an article about why people return to favorite shows when the world is a scary place, which definitely made us all feel better about our return to the worlds of Pawnee, Scranton, Mayberry, and the Golden Girls' Lanai over the last few weeks. July has also been a time for us to learn about the world. Becca's been learning about Reconstruction via a PBS documentary and reading about the influenza epidemic if 1918. Kelly recommends When They See Us, Ava DuVernay's series about the Central Park Five. What does this all have to do with thumbs and grilled cheese? Well, you'll just have to listen to find out. #relish Recorded via Zoom in Berea, KY | Edited by Kelly Smith | Music composed and performed by Elly Green | Artwork by Jessica Holly
