Here For You

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We're both feeling a little down today, but Kate attempted a cat eye (successfully!) and Doree's been burning her favorite new candle, so all is not lost. A listener wonders which old prods we've started using again, and a high school junior writes in to ask for advice about what to do now that the SATs have been canceled. And we hear from a teacher who's struggling with a couple of very pushy parents.

The word of the day is: STRENGTH. The activity of the day is: REWATCH A CLASSIC SHOW.
