About Finding Good Bones

Finding Good Bones is a podcast for anyone who wraps themselves in words to warm their heart, who turns to text for a guiding light through the dark. Every other Thursday, hosts Kate Caldwell and Amy Winters speak with a guest on a piece of writing that helps them acknowledge the sorrow in the world, and then find the hope to move through it. Join us as we work to uncover, understand, and share the ”Good Bones” that help us see that we can make this world beautiful.

   Episode 22: “Pickle Rick” from Rick and Morty by Jessica Gao with Amy Winters

   Well, Dear Listeners, we’re getting gross and into therapy this episode with “Pickle Rick” from Rick and Morty, selected by our very own Amy Winters! We touch on the boring work of mental health, the challenge of being “too smart” for therapy, the Shakespearean nature of Rick and Morty, the power of acceptance, and the opportunity to get it on with an alternative universe version of yourself.

   Get out your lie detectors and fedoras, Dear Listeners, as we wade through the drama and deception of Orson Welles’ “F for Fake” with writer Eric Hunt.  The conversation examines the boundaries of truth and art, the release of anonymity, the hope of legacy, and looks to answer the question- is this even a podcast? (Spoiler alert- it is!)

I, yeah, I hadn't, you know what, I had read the piece that Liz sent us previously that she's about to introduce to us, but I hadn't read her bio. Oh. Yeah. So, dear listener, she threw her hands in the air several times. Okay. Sure. Sorry. Okay. Me feel really great. Sorry. Okay. So, we will now let Liz join in and Liz, you can read your piece. Thank you. This is Sonnet 65 by William Shakespeare. Since brass, nor stone, nor earth, nor bound to the sea, but sad mortality or sues their power, how, with this rage, shall beauty hold a plea, whose action is no stronger than a flower? […]
