Mary Katharine Ham Talks April Fool’s, Mule Day, and KonMari Method




The Federalist Radio Hour show

Summary: Mary Katharine Ham prepares for this years April Fools Day with guest Emily Miller, journalist and author. They discuss some of the best pranks of past April Fools Days, the traditional Mule Day festival, sad country songs, and give an update on their KonMari method lifestyle. Its amazing to me how many of the famous past April Fools Day jokes have been perpetrated by the media, Ham said. I wonder if this year because of the fake news issue, if no one will indulge in any April Fools jokes... because its literally fake news. Miller explains how the minimalist method of organization created by Marie Kondo has now brought her to throwing away every scrap of paper in her house. Someone gave me a birthday card the other day and I said, Can I give it back?
