Summary: <p>Whether you consider cottage core a movement or a stylish trend, it’s a connection to the past. I talk about what it means to me, including its form in Jello-molds. I also talk to Jeremy Franson and Sandra Franson, who run <em><strong>Comfort & Joy - Family Heritage for Today</strong></em>. We talk about their connection to the Hudson Valley, visiting Grammy Joy in Rhinebeck (they called it “Regular Town”), living on a farm, chamber pots, and about tradition—and why it’s important to keep it. We also get a primer in Women’s Suffrage Movement history for Jeremy’s twin sister Joelle, which is timely during Women’s History Month.</p> <p>Here are some helpful links to things mentioned in the episode:</p> <p>"<a href="https://www.healthline.com/health/mental-health/what-is-cottagecore-and-what-does-it-have-to-do-with-mental-health" target="_blank">Cottagecore: The Whimsical Trend That May Just Help Your Mental Health</a>" (Healthline)</p> <p>Comfort & Joy - Family Heritage for Today: Send in recipes and stories to <a href="mailto:heritage@comfortandjoys.com">heritage@comfortandjoys.com</a> or use the form at the <a href="https://comfortandjoys.com" target="_blank">website</a>.</p> <p>Learn about Workshop Experience Weekend May 7-8 at <a href="http://workshopexperience.org/">workshopexperience.org</a> and see my Podcasting 101 workshop on Saturday at 1-3:30 p.m. There’s also a <a href="https://www.cidiot.com/blog/cidiot-at-the-workshop-experience-podcasting-101/" target="_blank">blog post</a> about it on <a href="http://cidiot.com/">Cidiot.com</a>, as well as the beginning of a <a href="https://www.cidiot.com/blog/where-to-stay-a-growing-list-for-the-hudson-valley-catskills-and-berkshires/" target="_blank">new guide to where to stay in the Hudson Valley, Catskills, and Berkshires</a>.
