    Episode 9: The Hobbies Will Save Us All
    Oct 6 2025

    What if the way out of our polarized era isn’t through more politics, but more hobbies? In a time when everything feels divided, hobbies might just be the thing that brings us back together (or at least a little more tolerant of our different backgrounds, perspectives, and algorithms). We explore how shared passions – whether it’s baking or birdwatching – can bridge political divides, build real community, and remind us what joy feels like. Plus: tips for finding or rediscovering the hobbies that make you feel the most like yourself.

    The “Who Has Time For This?” podcast is hosted and produced by Caitlin Bagley and Katie Kelly.

    Episode 5: Harry Potter and the Problem with Problematic Faves
    Aug 11 2025

    What do you do when your favorite artist/writer/celebrity turns out to be… problematic? We dig into the messy gray areas of separating art from the artist, with J.K. Rowling, her role in the trans rights debate, and "Harry Potter" as our central case study. From social media outrage cycles to purity politics, activism to empathy, we explore who gets to decide what’s “problematic” – and how to hold onto the values that matter most.

    Episode 4: What Citizenship Means to Us
    Jul 28 2025

    What does it mean to really be a citizen? In this episode, we unpack the idea of citizenship – not just as a legal status, but as a shared responsibility, a way of thinking, and a form of belonging. From protesting injustice to pushing back on consumer-first solutions, we explore how citizenship can become a more inclusive, collective, and powerful force for change.
