Jennifer (McDonald) Johnson wrote in with an update. Jen says that she is “still in Burlington, Vermont, working for Unilever (now on Dove Body Wash instead of Seventh Generation). It’s been a great year of travel and hiking, with trips to the O Circuit on Patagonia, the Laugavegur Trail in Iceland, and Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. Reach out if you’re in the Burlington area or if you have any awesome travel ideas!”

This is a bit late, but while browsing for new podcasts to listen to, I stumbled across the seventh season of Slate’s podcast Slow Burn, hosted by Susan Matthews. The four-episode seventh season, published in June 2022, focuses on the historical context leading to the Roe v. Wade decision by the U.S. Supreme Court. Apple Podcasts editors selected Slow Burn: Roe v. Wade for the Apple Podcasts 2022 Show of the Year Award. Congratulations to Susan and her team for an outstanding podcast series!

Upon reviewing a draft of this column, Adam Reed commented, “Good enough. Two [updates] is more than usual.”
