On the Road with the Practically Perfect Parenting Podcast: Q and
A with Students from the University of Montana


One day, Sara woke up tired; she was tired of always having to go
to a studio to record the Practically Perfect Parenting Podcast
episodes. She emailed John and Mike (the sound guy) and suggested
we take the show on the road. So we did. Mike put lapel
microphones on Sara and John, and set up a standing mic for 50
students in Ariel Goodman’s “Intimate and Family Relationships”
class (Counseling 242). The good news is that we got some
fabulous Q and A. The bad news is that most of the students were
afraid to approach the microphone. Consequently, in some cases
John and Sara jumped in and asked questions on behalf of the
students. While listening, see if you can pick up on themes from
Sara’s and John’s answers. What are Sara’s parenting struggles?
What were John’s? If you listen closely, you’ll hear patterns. In
the end, the students’ questions were excellent, and Sara’s and
John’s answers were pretty darn good too.
