FYCL #3, the leaky radiator edition.
FYCL #3, click to listen, etc, you know the drill.
Dubious advice on when to have children, Montessori school, censorship (or not) on the internets, the etiquette of oversharing, body image and advertising, and the nexus of blogging and rubbernecking.
Links to stuff we talked about:
- The Chronicle of Higher Education’s wangst and advice section;
- Encyclopedia Dramatica – browse with caution if you are a sheltered internet user;
- Raw academic angst and snark on Rate your Students;
- Discussion of Mad Men extras documentary on Jezebel;
- I couldn’t find Killing Us Softly original on youtube, but the whole of the revised lecture from 2000 is available, this link is to Part 1;
- Sociological Images;
- Mad Men fansite Basket of Kisses;
- Glossed Over;
- Body Impolitic is guest blogging at Feministe;
- New Kid on the Hallway;
- Yarn Harlot.
Apologies again for problems with audio quality, including, but not limited to, my cat who kept opening the creaky door. SJ’s headset might be dying, and her volume is a little up and down. I feel like every week I learn new things, but for every issue we fix, a new one crops up. Hey, this is a venture in its infancy.
Music this week at the end of the podcast is “Love, Etc.” by the Pet Shop Boys, and our theme music is the FYCL Podcast Theme, specially composed by our in-house musician, who will take commissions, reasonable rates.
For anyone who is left on the edge of her seat wondering, yes, my brother and his wife arrived, and yes, we had a lovely visit with them.
Please post comments on this episode and questions for next episode here, or you can email me at whatladder at gmail dot com.

Excellent episode! I have no complaints about length, I’m just going to say it took me two bus rides to listen to completely, thought part of that is me getting distracted and then having to rewind and my Blackberry’s rewind feature is abysmal AND ANWAYS… Sound quality/balancing was really good this week, so good work there! Looking forward to Ep #4.

Thanks to you guys for sharing your Montessori experiences. I’ve been looking into getting certified as a Montessori teacher lately, and I love gathering all the information I can.
