Did you think you'd heard the last of us? We are so excited to be back in 2026. Our theme for the year is that we're making more time for fun and joy, and part of that is being together on the air. The other big news is that Becca is getting ready to open a bookshop in March, and the rest of us are picking up mops and paintbrushes to help get the space ready to open. Welcome back to the pod and to our lives.

We are: Katie Basham, Jenny Hobson, Becca Parrish, and Kelly Smith

The presidential race has shifted dramatically and how better to get to know the new candidates than through the regional experts at That's What We Said. No, we don't know VP Harris and Gov Tim Walz — well, Kelly has met Governor Walz once, thanks to her amazing nephew Justin Smith, Disability Rights Activist. But we do know all about the California Bay Area and about Midwestern Nice. Make sense of the Democratic candidates by hearing our tales of growing up in California and the Midwest.

Jump feet first into the Olympic pool with us as we recap our favorite moments of the Paris Games. We cover everything from swimsuits that don't cover much to Bob The Cap Catcher who has the swimming team's tresses all covered. Cry with us about Celine Dion. Ponder the new names of old sports and the arrival of new sports that maybe weren't ready for primetime. Ahem, raygun. And try to avert your eyes with us as we put that one moment on repeat.
