"...to my mind, a perfect podcast." --Mary Roach
Summer 2026
In this 1528 paiting by Lucas Cranach, does Adam look a little clueless?

Who was willing to grow up and leave childhood behind?
Eve. That's who.

When not in the classroom, Sonja enjoys playing in the dirt (sometimes growing vegetables), cooking, reading, and podcasting with Vanessa. Sonja and her husband Eric have two grown kids, and a diabolical tuxedo cat named Lina.
