We're trying a new format out with this episode. My special guests and I talk about three separate (unrelated) topics. First up, we discuss the iPhone game we're addicted to, Clash of Clans. Then we launch into a mini-chat about fad diets and clean up with a discussion about stalking/spying on people via Instagram. Plus a special snippet about our favorite baby blog! [25:03 min]

Transferring Over

Because Posterous is shutting down as of April 30th, I have to move all of You, Me, Us over here. That probably means a lot of it won't work! Sad. The old site: youmeus.posterous.com

Thanks for everyone who joined me for Season 1 and 2, be back soon with more!

Note: Right now many of the individual post links don't work -- Blogger error -- so what I've been doing is going into separate months and just hitting the play button from there. Which is actually a nice way to go from podcast to podcast. Next up, fixing the iTunes link!

There Will Be Tears

There Will Be Tears by You, Me, Us

Everyone wants to succeed, to feel like their lives have amounted to something. When then, do you "make it?" That's the question we tackle today with my two guests. We come from different fields and our perceptions of "making it" turn out to be not quite identical. Really, this episode is about not being a failure and making ourselves proud. Hopefully. [23:18 min]

Creature Comfort

Creature Comfort by You, Me, Us

Most people like to watch animal documentaries but rare are the folk who are so moved by animals that they just have to learn everything about them, to obsess! This episode's guests are amateur animal experts and I brought them on to discuss two books they're currently working through, Zoobiquity and A Small Furry Prayer. Then we launch into the ethics of zoos and marine aquariums and how/if we can continue to visit Sea World. Warning: this episode also contains elephants. [18:39 min]

Just a Small Town Girl

Small Town Girl MP3

Most of us are suburb kids, we don't know what it's like to rise at dawn and take care of the barn animals. It seems idyllic and oh so American but what is it really like to grow up in a small town? This episode's guest grew up on a farm and we ask her pressing questions like "How real was the Dukes of Hazzard?" Get your overalls on and listen in! [18:39 min]
