This was delightful. Thank you both!

Virginia I’ve been a subscriber for about a year and a half now. And I’ve learned so much from you it’s been super valuable.

And my favorite thing about this newsletter is the people that I learn about who are so totally awesome! You are my main line drip to people that I need to know about that I probably would’ve never found otherwise. I’ve listened to Farideh’s album twice today and it’s made my life so much better

YAY. Love this so much!

We get the Mental Load and the Motherhood of Sh*t too! Love how Farideh's songs sing truth to life and make me laugh too. Love all the great questions you ask and how you help your interviewees (?) relax and open up. I shared with a bunch of friends!

Yay! I loved this conversation so much. Thanks for sharing it!

Hmmm, this episode never showed up in my private (subscriber) feed on Apple Podcasts. Any idea what might have changed?

Virginia Sole-Smith's avatar

I made a dumb mistake and misclassified it! It’s fixed now, so I’m hoping it shows up in everyone’s feeds shortly (maybe after refreshing, etc…). Sorry about that!

Still not showing up for me in PocketCasts, even after refreshing. Any idea what might be going on? Has it appeared for others?

Checking back to see if um, just leaving it be for the weekend helped?? The episode is now classified correctly so it SHOULD populate out to all the podcast players, but I can imagine every platform has it's own quirkly timeline for that kind of update... lmk and if not, we'll tap Substack for help.

Nope 😕 Just refreshed, rebooted, cleared cache, etc and still the latest one showing is 10/19.

Ah bummer. OK, will investigate! We may need to re-post the episode (which results in an extra email for everyone sorrysorrysorry) but I'll see what else I can figure out.

Just wanted to throw out my favorite song about motherhood, 'The Mother' by Brandi Carlisle. The music video is especially great!

Virginia Sole-Smith's avatar

OK, downloading immediately, THANK YOU

And YES 45 minute poops and vacation división of labor!

And also, I suspect there are lots like me who subscribe for the more cerebral/researched but interact more with the fun ones. :D

Oh I'm here for this theory! You are totally right. We get religious songs which.. say nothing about our actual experience. Cool.
