Episodes
Passive aggressive moves are not woke, Scouting America though, is!
Trump is back in the news more and it’s only just begun - this year is gonna be A LOT - do we share on social media like we did back in the Trump years? Is our opinionated era back or are we still exhausted from how we were? Essentially, the question is: to post or not to post?

This episode has it all. A classic example of the UMcast where we jump from topic to topic, thought to thought, without regard for well, anything really. It's the kind of hour you enjoy and then forget about entirely once it's done, but you're somehow happier, lighter, a better person after.

Spring Break plans, anyone? Where ya’ll headed? Perhaps to visit a prison on an island, or to a moss-filled National Park? Either way, we hope you enjoy.
UMcast Anonymous Question: How does one make friends as adults? Much to sa...
It’s Doula Day! We are spending some time with Carrie Visalli, a childbirth doula here in San Diego County. She has worked with 38 mothers, 38 brand new babies.
