Free Range Children

Jann, Caitlin & Sarah wind down on summer topics, discuss back to school and the arts, the Paralympic games and more!

Jann kicks off this episode with a discussion about the simple pleasures in life and taking time to appreciate them. Caitlin shares a story she saw about how one school in LA is handling smartphones for mental well-being.

They also have a conversation about the Oasis reunion and concert prices (once again!!). They highlight the need to still take in art and support emerging artists.

Of course, they saved some time for back-to-school stories the incredible talent at this year's Paralympic Games. The conversation ends with a discussion about imaginary friends...don't ask.
