0:00.0	I'm Natalie Moore. I fell in love with soap operas when I was just five years old, and I still
0:06.1	watch them. Their television's longest scripted series and have zero reruns. Now let me tell you,
0:12.7	soap operas aren't just some silly art form. They are significant. In this season of making,
0:18.0	Stories Without End from WB EZ Chicago.
0:25.7	Join me as I share how the genre began, their social impact, and why these stories endure.
0:28.3	Listen, wherever you get your podcast.
0:36.8	From WBEZ Chicago, this is NerdEd.
0:55.7	I'm Greta Johnson. We did it. We made it to another weekend. Here is a fun fact to start off the show. Did you know that a group of porcupines is called a prickle? How delightful is that? Coming up, we'll take a deep dive into the book publishing supply chain. Turns out it's kind of a disaster. Yeah, every single step. There aren't as many mills as there used to be. They've all shut down. They're going bankrupt.
1:00.1	It's going to be an issue for sure. I don't ignore it. But first, it's our panel to unpack the week

1:26.5	to see you. Okay, so I think we should start with kid
1:28.8	vaxes because you two are both parents and nearly a million kids around the country receive
1:34.1	their first round of Pfizer shots this week. You both have children. Dan, yours are old enough for
1:39.6	the vaccine, right? Yes, I have an 11 year old and an 8 year old. Okay. So have you gotten to sign them up yet?
1:46.6	They are actually getting vaccinated right now as we speak. No, that's amazing. Yes, it's happening this very
1:52.2	moment. Ah, that's so. How do you feel? Um, I feel excited. I feel really good about it. Um,
1:58.0	you know, they're, uh, they finally just got over their fear of shots well enough to, like, not cause a
2:02.8	total disaster.
2:04.0	I was going to say those are good ages for that.
2:06.2	Yeah, yeah.
