## Resource

On this episode: Lucy Lopez , Elizabeth Newcamp , and Zak Rosen have a little bit of everything for you. First they share their triumphs and fails: Lucy brings tales of the theater kids, Elizabeth solicited her offering from the family, and Zak had a very special houseguest. Then, they dig into the mailbag and share your comments and triumphs. Finally, they do a dramatic reading of the hilarious essay in McSweeney’s Internet Tendencies, “ Unsung Heroes of Motherhood .” Podcast production by Cheyna Roth and Rosemary Belson.
