The second will be a smaller, interactive session for folks who are developing their own history podcast. This one requires a brief application: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... Since capacity is limited, I suggest submitting your app sooner rather than later.

I'm an elder millennial who had kids in my early 20s. Now I'm in my mid-40s and have young adult kids. Parenting at this stage feels way more challenging than I expected, in part because of how few of my generational peers have reached this point too, or so it seems. 🤔

Absolutely loved Colbert revisiting Only in Monroe. Funny in a way Late Show never was. I appreciated what he brought to late night tv, but I always thought the format was never the best fit for his brand of humor. I hope this return to form is a sign of things to come.

Colbert’s farewell hit me harder than I expected. The quiet sequence of “Jump Up” before the louder finale was beautiful, full of joy and melancholy. I was a big fan of The Colbert Report, but over the last decade he has become a figure of such rich humanity, and we will feel the absence.
