India and Aubree talk about how beautiful and fun (and COVID safe) India and Alyson’s wedding was. And we spend a lot of time talking about how genuinely great India’s mom is. And we admit that putting out a podcast as life starts to return to normal can be difficult as a small two person team. We have so many great episodes coming up in 2022 and we’re excited to be back!

Since Aubree explained Ungrading so poorly, you can learn mo...

In our last episode of the series we talk to Dr. Mary Bernstein, Professor of Socio...
