Bobs! In surreal news, this is the final episode of this podcast. To close things out, we answer listener questions, walk down memory lane, share our final Thingies, and recommend a few podcasts to fill the ATOT void.

Starting with a hot take: Labubu is not for us.

Now for the Thingies to end all (podcast) Thingies: We are loving Botox for migraines, a skateboarding corgi, a breakfast spinach salad (relatedly: Dinosaur Time), Painterland Sisters Skyr, Dill Pickle Flamin’ Hot Cheetos, and Primary Activewear for kids.

And since you’ll have some more podcast real estate, give a listen to Jam Session, Bad on Paper, Lemme Say This, and Shameless!

Cozy up to Sixpenny’s furniture offerings—they’re doing a really fantastic job. You’ll see.

Bye!

On the penultimate episode of this podcast, we’re talking about the things that make us feel happy @ home, courtesy of the wonderful crew over at Sixpenny. (Remember the chair and a half?! They’re responsible!) Also: our final—and dare we say most exclusive—Thingie guest…

Sixpenny’s furniture just makes us feel GOOD?! Check out the Neva Chair, order some fabric swatches, consider the power of a slipcover, explore the best-looking storage ottomans you ever did see.

A whole bunch of little ways we’re improving our space and how we feel in it: flowers from Park Deli, lighting from In Common With and Audo Copenhagen, a quilt from Aloka, high-touch framing from Ulfig Projects, recaning from Yorkville Caning, collections of limoges boxes(shout-out to the Midwest of Cannon Falls Dairy Queen collection) and niche food servingware, and rugs from WovenyHome, Baby Blue Studio, and Block Shop.

Some favorite fabric sources: Maharam, Block Shop, Svenskt Tenn, Caroline Z Hurley for Schumacher (and Schumacher in general), Bolé Road Textiles, and Ottoline.

Cam’s Thingies include Greek mythology, The Corpse Bride, and Harriet the Spy the TV series.

Take a browse around Sixpenny’s furniture offerings—they’re doing a really fantastic job. You’ll see.

YAY.

Thingies time! We’re so excited to sit down with Lana Schwartz, the author of the newest 831 Stories release, Set Piece. We talk favorite character actors, joining ClassPass in 2025, and an incredible podcast season that inspired her book.

Lana’s Thingies include ClassPass (she’s been hitting up MADabolic, Lucent, Good Move, and New Love City), Lorne by Susan Morrison, Sex and the City rewatches, movie trivia at Syndicated, the Rilo Kiley reunion, and Easy Weeknight Dinners by Emily Weinstein.

Lana got some inspiration for Set Piece while listening to the You Must Remember This podcast season on Polly Platt.

Get more of Lana c/o her book Build Your Own Romantic Comedy: Pick Your Plot, Meet Your Man, and Direct Your Happily Ever After and upcoming 831 events in NYC, LA, and Boston.
