The Subtext

When I first came across the pairing of Savannah and Lee, I have to admit that I was a little baffled. Savannah, kind of sounding continually wondrous and Lee sounding patient with the wanderings of wherever she takes the conversation. But, you know, it just works. Both of them embody the Christian version of my agnostic soul - how can we simply be better versions of ourselves? How can we honor this treasure of what it is to be given life? To that end, I’ve added The Subtext to No Small Endeavor in my (pretty small) rotation of podcasts.

I’m retired now, and one thing I miss are the day-to-day conversations with my work friends who were various ages. I had a few “Savannahs” in my work life who kept me connected to pop culture and were able to have related intellectual conversations. Thanks Savannah and Lee for this useful and enlightening podcast.

The dynamic between Savannah and Lee creates a curiosity that assists you formulating your own thoughts on whatever the subject matter is for that week. It’s lively. It’s relevant. It’s informative. I deeply appreciate the humility they practice both with one another but also with the content of the show. They admit their limits where they exist, share insight when they have it and keep responses compassionate but with ethical bumpers. Huge fan here and I’m always looking out for the next episode! 👀

Always love the show and topics. Today’s show was especially — well hit a nerve. Sex is complicated. Especially when your taught a certain way about it and how your family felt with it. My sister was pregnant at 14 and then I was given no instruction on sex at all. Brought up in a Catholic home and birth control was a no-no as was sex before marriage. No real explaining about it or why? So.. yes, I think a conversation about sexual ethics is necessary. I think both genders are Affected by casual sex and I think we can become numb to the pain of it and addicted to the thrill of it. So, again.. yes to the conversation. Thanks for all the conversations up to this one! Can’t wait until next week!
