Welcome to Karen Feeding, the show where we raise the next generation together.

I'm Zach Rosen. I am a dad of two kids who are growing so fast. They're almost eight and

almost five. We live in Amsterdam for like one more week and then back to Detroit.

I'm Elizabeth New Camp. I write the homeschool and family travel blog, Dutch Dutch boost.

I'm the mom to Henry who's 13, Oliver, who's 11, and Teddy who's 8.

And like Zach, we are in our final week in Tokyo.

Hey, I'm Lucy Lopez.

I host another podcast, literally and supposedly.

And I'm mother to Amelia, who's 15 avery who's 12 and we live

in miami florida and it is hot today on the show we answer a listener question about night owls

not being a morning person and all the rigamarole that comes with that.

But first, we'll get started with a round of triumphs and fails.

Stick around.

On Billboard's Hot 100, America's flagship pop chart, there are number ones, and then there are number one debuts.

Join me, Chris Melanfi, for a look at the chart calculus, superfan interventions, and fluky conditions that turn a brand new single into an instant success

without any guarantee of longevity. When it comes to hits, it's not where you start, it's where you

finish. Find hit parade wherever you get your podcasts.

Hey, it's Anna Sale, host of Death, Sex, and Money, the podcast from Slate about the things we think about a lot and need to talk about more.

And recently, we asked you to tell us stories about your beauty interventions, what you've decided to invest time and money in to improve your appearance.

So I looked at my dad, and I looked at him carefully, and I said, no, no, no, no, no, no.

We are going to sail in a different direction than this.
