10 Things We're Doing Besides Keeping you Current on the ‘Cast

A podcast half-month in review, right this way:

• Verena von Pfetten on how and why it’s getting easier to be green.

• Us, waxing on (and on and on, really) about Palm Springs, Armie Hammer, our genetics, and our favorite drugstore mints.

• Losing it every time I even think of this bumper sticker.

• Tossing all my spatulas except the one that’s technically made for fish but is, in practice, better for everything. I’m sure the salmon filets are down to share.

• Diving deeper into the experience of children migrating to the U.S. with the slim, moving, and inquisitive read Tell Me How It Ends.

• Plotting a return visit to the NYC Japanese comfort-food spot Bessou—go for the scallop hotpot; stay for the design. And let me know how brunch is?

• Flagging this goodie for pregnant friends. I hear belly itch is a THING.

• Recreating the A+ vegan chorizo taco from Taco Dumbo with with the help of this Trader Joe’s win.

• Making it 12 years in NYC without ever once realizing how much I’ve been missing out by not living in a GD turret.

• Visiting a pal in Cincinnati and finding shopping and eating options on-par with anything in Brooklyn in their very hip Over-the-Rhine neighborhood, which, it turns out, has a complicated and fascinating history.

• Letting it go straight to my head when someone on Instagram complimented my running playlist...so making a new one full of sleeper hits.

• Listening rapt to this interview with Sarah McBride, a transgender activist who I’m guessing is going to be a household name before long.
