Two Noras and a Mic | Podcast Guru

Details

Oh hello! We’re Nora and Nora and we’re glad you’re here! From parenting and local faves to current trends and recipes, we are two Noras discussing it all with a whole lot of laughter along the way. As we raise our families in the west suburbs of Chicago we invite you to listen weekly as we dish about all the highs and lows and ridiculous amount of tomfoolery that ensue on this journey. Follow us wherever you get your podcasts as we check out new local spots, interview all sorts of interesting people, and catch up with each other! It’s like inviting two friends over to visit and catch up with without all the hassle of getting ready for company. Leave the entertaining to us and be sure to tune in for a new episode each Monday.

Cheers To Bubbles

Send us Fan Mail Bubbles show up everywhere, and once we started pulling the thread, we couldn’t stop. We talk about the pure childhood magic of soap bubbles, why a wet hand can touch a bubble without popping it, and how “soap” used to be made from animal fat and plant ash before we ever had a bottle under the sink. It’s science, nostalgia, and parenting reality all in one breath. Then we move to the bubbles we actually want in a glass. We crack open a non-alcoholic sparkling wine that...

Send us Fan Mail Birth order gets tossed around like a shortcut to understanding yourself: firstborns lead, middle kids smooth things over, and the youngest walks in with charm and chaos.

From there, we chase the true spirit of autumn chaos: ...

An Episode FORE you

Send us Fan Mail Golf has a funny way of showing up in our lives even when we don’t play and we finally followed that thread. But first, we spiral a little: Sober October, social drinking in your 40s, and the most bananas throwback we’ve seen in a while, a real 1972 Vogue diet built on hard boiled eggs, black coffee, and multiple glasses of Chablis before dinner. It’s equal parts hilarious and horrifying, and it opens up a bigger point about habits that are sustainable versus “rules” that mak...

Send us Fan Mail Running has a way of making people sound a little obsessed, and we get into why that is, even while we are still side-eyeing the idea of voluntarily doing the first mile. We start where we always seem to start: real life. Bootcut jeans making a comeback, foods we refuse to try on principle, and a bungee-jumping story that raises way too many safety questions. Then we do what any responsible adults do and conduct important research by taste testing wildly specific Oreos, inclu...
