We're Julie and Scott. Just your average couple with pretty significant differences in ages, life experiences and upbringings. We like to talk and discuss a wide variety of topics around the proverbial dinner table and we thought we'd bring a wider audience into our conversations.

    Put a Woman in Charge

    On the eve of the 2024 election, we talk about the stress and "nauseous optimism", the ads and the celebrity endorsements. Do they matter? Will your decision depend on which famous people support which candidate? We also talk about the ad that seemingly gives permission to women to vote the way they want, not necessarily the way their husband wants and how your vote is supposed to be secret.

    Civic Duty

    In today's episode, we talk about Scott's blog post in which he writes about what he believes are, or should be, the civic duties of all citizens. Voting, paying taxes, serving on juries and a year of service are the four "pillars". Its a lively discussion and, as always, we appreciate any feedback.
