A Zoomer and a Boomer walk into a bar. Z says to B, “Girrrl, let’s start a podcast.” B rolls her eyes and says to Z, “Sure why not? The world is short on podcasts.” God hollers from the men’s room: “Brainy, artsy, angsty repartee between strong women of two vastly different generations will save humanity!! … Probably!” Bartender slides down a hot mic.  Hosts Natalia Latham and Angela Latham take on the hard stuff, since that’s mostly all there is these days. Religion, culture, waves of feminism…maybe even some poetry. With 40 years and a couple of theatre degrees between them, these two preachers’ daughters, and exiles from a backwoods state of mind, are the family drama you actually need.  Available wherever you get your podcasts.

    Georgia On Our Mind

    Send a text Nat and Ang are joined by Nichola Hines, President of the League of Women Voters of Georgia. Questions, so many questions. And answers! What's it like to work in a passionate non-partisan organization in a major swing state during one of the most sharply partisan, politically charged, and democracy challenged eras in US history? What's up with the Georgia legislature? BTW, did ya know y'all have a conspiracy theorist in Congress?! Do you suppose democracy will endure in spite of the mess we’re in? Oh, and one more…is there such a thing as hope?  Just in time for election day, join the gals as they ponder a place like Georgia in a time like now with a hero like Nichola Hines.

    Truth to Vote

    Send a text It’s time to vote and here we all are, bombarded at every turn by misinformation, disinformation, malinformation, and outright lies. Nat and Ang to the rescue, with a lot of help from Delany Zimmer, Voter Services Coordinator for the League of Women Voters of Wisconsin. Delany valiantly supports voter efforts to find truth in spite of our poisonous politics and polluted information ecosystem. What’s more, she does so in a key swing state! This makes her a real hero as well as a mighty fine person to interview right now.

    Trial and Error: The Courtroom Battle that Still Divides Us

    Send a text In 1925, John Scopes, a high school biology teacher in rural Tennessee, was indicted for violating a new state law against teaching evolution. The record of his trial is a textbook all its own for today. A century later the very issues that played out in a small-town courthouse––from politics to religion and everything in between––still divide Americans. Join Natalia and Angela as they grapple with the engaging, sometimes frightening, and always illuminating experience of reading Keeping the Faith: God, Democracy, and the Trial that Riveted a Nation, by Brenda Wineapple.  Resources: Brenda Wineapple Keeping the Faith: God, Democracy, and the Trial that Riveted a Nation Associated Press news “The Taliban publish vice laws that ban women's voices and bare faces in public” Vox.com How the Republican Party went from Lincoln to Trump Vox.com From white supremacy to Barack Obama: The history of the Democratic Party Alexandra Alter “From School Librarian to Activist: ‘The Hate Level and the Vitriol Is Unreal” Transition Music: Humans Win “Sunshine Strum” Volodymyr Piddubnyk “Minimal documentary background music”  AGT and Nat and Ang on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/agenerationalthingpodcast/ https://www.instagram.com/natalia_latham/ https://www.instagram.com/angelajoylatham/ Logo by Kara Joy Schrock: https://www.instagram.com/kjreliquaries/ Technical consultant, Tim Godby Music (for regular episodes): "Curious Documentary" by Jon Presstone (intro and transitions) "I Feel Fire" by we20fifty (outro)

    An Educated Public

    Send a text      The one thing most Americans agree on besides apple pie is that November 5, 2024 is a very big day in US history. What are the issues we should be reflecting on as we choose our national, state, and local leaders? Does it really all come down to the economy (stupid)? Or Project 2025? Or reproductive rights?      How about this one? Educational equity? Now there's an election issue you don't hear nearly enough about. And it's nothing short of a pillar of democracy!! So in the lead-up to the election, the gals are learning about learning, about thinking, about probing beyond the headlines and scary news talk that has way too much to do with ... pets?!      First up in the queue, die-hard nerds Nat and Ang are joined by some stiff nerd competition! Dr. Chloe Latham Sikes is an expert on educational policy and Deputy Director of Policy for IDRA, a non-profit organization committed to educational equity. She offers some mind-blowing, gob-smacking truths about what is happening to and in schools across the country and what that means to all of us who care about a healthy democracy.

    Live, Laugh, Learn

    Send a text The gals are back from hiatus and ready to take on the world. But not before they inter-generationally process their respective summer school lessons and what's in the fall syllabus. Consider this episode your back-to-school primer, just in time for the coming apocalypse, or at least for the 2024 elections.  Transition music: "Sunshine Strum" by Humans Win AGT and Nat and Ang on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/agenerationalthingpodcast/ https://www.instagram.com/natalia_latham/ https://www.instagram.com/angelajoylatham/ Logo by Kara Joy Schrock: https://www.instagram.com/kjreliquaries/ Technical consultant, Tim Godby Music (for regular episodes): "Curious Documentary" by Jon Presstone (intro and transitions) "I Feel Fire" by we20fifty (outro)

    School’s Out for Summer!

    Send a text Nat and Ang are feeling wistful about the end of Season 1. Things won’t be the same without the thrill of a hot mic this summer. But the gals will survive the break like all schoolgirls do, mostly because they'll be using their hiatus to gear up for Season 2!         Before they sign off, Nat and Ang consider the art of podcasting in all its glory and messiness. Some shocking stats keep things riveting. Some inside scoop, like what it’s like to be an age-diverse podcast team, keeps things scandalous. If it were a homework assignment, this episode would clinch the A.  Resources: The Podcasting University: "Five Reasons Why Podcast Fail" Stats: The Podcast Index Pew Research: "Trends and Facts on Audio and Podcasts" Nathan Heller: "The Battle for Attention" Transition music: Gerardo Garcia, Jr. “Piano Lounge Jazz” Title Inspiration:  ... and all around cool song by Alice Cooper AGT and Nat and Ang on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/agenerationalthingpodcast/ https://www.instagram.com/natalia_latham/ https://www.instagram.com/angelajoylatham/ Logo by Kara Joy Schrock: https://www.instagram.com/kjreliquaries/ Technical consultant, Tim Godby Music (for regular episodes): "Curious Documentary" by Jon Presstone (intro and transitions) "I Feel Fire" by we20fifty (outro)

    Mother(hood) Musings

    Send a text Mother’s Day is a perfect occasion for intergenerational processing! Nat and Ang take full advantage of this opportunity to explore a disconcerting array of topics: the evolutionary contributions of grandmothers, the panic over plunging fertility rates, the changing expectations of motherhood, how expensive kids are, etc. They even tackle (but fail to answer) the “to be or not to be (a mother)” question. Don’t worry about whiplash. A little artsy/litsy talk helps smooth out the ride. Resources: Kristen Hawkes, “Grandmothers and Human Evolution” "US Fertility Rate Dropped..."

Find out which of our featured really famous, really dead poets is the literary heartthrob of the ages. Discover at last why Shakespeare and Solomon sound so much alike sometimes. Along the way, just try to keep track of all the hackneyed metaphors Nat and Ang use to explain things. We dare you.
