When Elizabeth Ries and Margery Punnett hosted a myTalk 107.1 radio show together, they joked that their most personal conversations happened during the commercial breaks. During one of these pauses, Margery shared an important family principle: bringing your best self to your home. Being an urban farmer with a flock of chickens, Elizabeth quipped, "Bring your best to the nest!" The outside world shouldn't get the smiling happy version of you while your family gets the crabby and exhausted one. On "Best To The Nest," Margery & Elizabeth explore the simple concept of creating strong, comforting, beautiful nests that prepare us to fly.

    We Need More

    Elizabeth posted a picture of her first day back at work after giving birth to her daughter Bernie nine years ago. If you are a mom working outside of your home, you know the reckoning that comes at the end of maternity leave. We are twirling around those emotions and wondering why mothers and children are still fighting for more time together.

Best to the nest

I found out about this podcast watching Twin Cities live I love listening to these two women. I feel a real connection with their stories. They share from the Duluth area originally from the Minneapolis area and it feels like home. Karen from Carlton.

I so enjoy the late night episode. Thank you, Thank you for sharing with us all.
Karen from Carlton.

Old Tom in California ,

Deus te amat

This is old curmudgeonly Tom in California, the widower you took into the Nest a few years ago after I heard Ian’s plug for your podcast and told you how much listening to the two of you helped rekindle my late wife’s place in my home. I so sympathize with Marjorie and Elizabeth too. I cried again listening to Marjorie’s return broadcast.
As Ian signed off of his broadcasts I just want to say: “Deus te amat, and I do too!”

Love and loss

My heart breaks for Margery as she grieves Ian’s passing. Listening to the third encore episode it’s easy to see that he was absolutely delightful, as is Margery. I’m reminded of an earlier episode where Margery said she liked to keep the phone line open while she an Ian were apart to hear him typing as she drifted off to sleep. That, my friends is love. Sending peace and love to you and your sons as you go through this most difficult time.
