Free Range Children

Jann kicks off this episode with a discussion about the simple pleasures in life and taking time to appreciate them. Caitlin shares a story she saw about how one school in LA is handling smartphones for mental well-being. They also have a conversation about the Oasis reunion and concert prices (once again!!). They highlight the need to still take in art and support emerging artists. Of course, they saved some time for back-to-school stories the incredible talent at this year's Paralympic Games. The conversation ends with a discussion about imaginary friends...don't ask.  Some other links for today's show that may be of interest: https://jonathanhaidt.com/ https://www.unilad.com/news/sport/raygun-olympics-breakdancing-paralympics-latest-223355-20240818 https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/1f5ez3o/paralympic_breakdancing_at_paris_olympics_2024/ https://www.illabilities.com/ Chapters (00:00) Appreciating Simple Pleasures (03:40) Unplugging from Technology (15:02) Supporting Up-and-Coming Artists (20:23) Embracing Everyday Moments (28:37) The Joy of Live Performances (29:19) The High Cost of Concert Tickets (30:27) The Excitement of Surprise Shows (37:13) The Importance of the Arts in Schools (49:53) Introduction: Fond Memories of School (51:06) The Importance of Choosing the Right School District (53:12) Inspiring Stories from the Paralympic Games (54:09) Appreciating the Paralympics and Advocating for Equality This week’s episode is brought to you by the home and auto insurance brand Canadians trust most, Intact Insurance, and Cove Soda!
