Melanie talks with Chris Marlow, founder of Help One Now and author of Doing Good Is Simple, about his new book, Ryan Reynold’s parenting tweets, and sending kids on mission trips. There may have been a moment when they were both talking about seals, but he meant Navy and Melanie was picturing the ones with whiskers and flippers. 

Melanie talks with Steen Jones, new author and founder of COLORS scarves, about her debut novel, The Door Keeper, our awesome kids with autism, spending the night in a treehouse, and reasons women were committed to mental institutions in the ninetheenth century that will melt your brain. Also, doing the sniff test on clothes and the pros and cons of nose rings. World-changing stuff.
