Episode 19: National Lost Sock Memorial Day. A Hidden Holiday Hosts Pre-party
After a great suggestion from some of our favorite fans, Dan & Cordy decided to try something new: Explore a user submitted holiday, and then discuss some of teh selections they didn’t make. It’s less than 15 minutes of breezy brainstorming, a little less structured than others, but not like that keeps us on track!
Please comment here or text us with some suggestions we should take next time (Juneish).
Don’t worry - we have new full-length episodes coming too!

Draw a Picture of A Bird Day (April 8th) - Hidden Holiday Hosts Episode 18
Draw a Picture of a Bird Day seemed like a fun, simple pick. But digging into the origins revealed the beautiful, if heartbreaking story of Dorry Cooper. She inspired people to create for the sake of it, and enjoy the process as a way to feel a bit better for a bit. Not to care about the outcome.
The connections to our own lives & beliefs are robust, and we have lots of fun chatting through the activities, guests and even Cordy’s Aphantasia.
Celebrate art, joy, and recovery by drawing a picture of a bird on April 8th or any other time of year.

No Discrimination Day (March 1st): Hidden Holiday Hosts Ep. 17
March 1st is Zero Discrimination Day. In this episode, we dig into the history, symbolism, and social signaling of how we see each other: the roots of the holiday in the HIV/AIDS crisis, the “remissive” state of modern medicine, and how the 90s era of government silence shaped our current narrative.
Of course there’s still some fun games, and way-too-inside jokes.
Open your heart, check your bias, and join us for a celebration that’s way more existential than expected.
