    Unplug, Together with Tiffany Shlain, Internet Pioneer

    Webby Awards founder and Emmy-nominated filmmaker Tiffany Shlain chats with host Ellie Knaus about how we can reboot our relationship with technology. Thank goodness for the internet. We crave connectivity in these isolating times - and I felt so lucky this month to be able to meet my best friend's baby over Zoom - but what connections are we missing when we're glued to our screens? In this conversation, we examine our own impulses when it comes to social media, newsfeeds, and online shopping, and we discuss what can be gained - in loving connections and creativity - if we follow in our guest's footsteps and take a "technology shabbat" one day a week. Shlain's bestseller 24/6: The Power of Unplugging One Day a Week is now available in paperback (8/20/20). Think you could do it? Listen up! x Ellie Knaus As always: subscribe, rate, and review!

    Best-selling novelist J. Courtney Sullivan, known for Commencement, Maine, The Engagements, and Saints For All Occasions, chats with host Ellie Knaus about Friends and Strangers (Knopf, June 30, 2020).

We get a glimpse into Becky and Courtney’s pre-kid friendship in NY, and we share our personal experiences related to the novel’s themes, such as fertility, privilege, and the fuzzy boundaries found between lonely new moms and the caregivers who love their children so much.  Also, don’t miss our recent Atomic Moms podcast: “Let’s Go There: Anti-Racism, The Pandemic , and Parenting Right Now”, guest co-hosted with Candace Trinchieri.

We speak with Sophie Salvatore, who also happens to be Smith College ’04. Huzzah! My 15 year college reunion got cancelled so interviewing J.
