We have a new podcast! Or rather, 831 Stories does: Radio 831 is about *all* things romance, from tropes to fan-culture drama. We even teed up a full pitch just for the OG Bobs, replete with some updates on a few of our nearest, dearest topics for the A Thing or Two long-timers.

  • Positing that Heavenly Jelly shoes with “toppings” could be the dressed-up version of Crocs with jibbitz for those of you into that sort of thing.
     

  • Giving myself regular lilac-sniffing breaks: This guy is absolutely thriving.
     

  • Becoming a Vesper person (me and James Bond).

  • Zooming in as much as I can on Caroline Harrius’s stitched ceramics.
     

  • Trusting so few people to brandish cottage-cheese hacks, but Ali Slagle is one of ‘em. This pasta is extremely green, satisfyingly SPRINGY.

  • Bookmarking a list of kid-friendly This American Life eps as road-trip season approaches.
     

  • Possessing a pair of prescription frames I don’t begrudge wearing for the first time in a long time.
     

  • Looking forward to another summer of embracing the mesh bag.
     

  • Marveling at how remarkably far a simple stripe goes toward making bedding feel less boring. Add some sleep excitement of your own with code PUREWOVEN20 for 20% off. #sponsor

  • Know you should be strength training but not sure where to start? Sick of fitness spaces turning out to be diet culture minefields? Get friendly, inclusive, body-neutral workout videos (including at-home strength programming) and exercise guidance right in your inbox, from How to Move.
