Lazy Sunday – Listening to the JV Club Podcast

Lazy Sunday – a weekly column where I discuss my favorite lazy day indulgences – movies, television shows, books, music and more. 

Not too long ago I shared with you a list of my favorite podcasts. But as with most lists it’s ever evolving. I’ve got a lot of time to fill during the workday so I’m always searching for shows and recently I stumbled across a new favorite – The JV Club.

The JV Club is hosted by the lovely Janet Varney, a performer I only recently discovered via the hi-larious Burning Love. The podcast has a deceptively simple format – an hour long interview with a guest. But really, it’s so much more than that.

The guests (save one) are exclusively female. And the topic? Adolescence and young adulthood. In each episode Janet and her guest take a stroll down memory lane and discuss the trials and tribulations of growing up. It makes for some truly compelling consversation.

Pictured are some of my favorite interviewees. Each has shared amazing stories – sometimes funny, sometimes sad, always fascinating.

The JV Club is a must listen, especially for women. Yes, it’s entertaining but it’s also an important reminder that no matter how alone we feel, how different from everyone else we think we are there are many other women thinking the same thing. We really are never alone but part of a large community of unique, amazing women who have the power to really make a difference in the world. That is why I love this podcast.
