Oscar, Oscar! Vote Now! Listen in to Charee, Margaux, and Hadas discuss their picks for the 2016 Oscars. We were a bit disappointed with some snubs, we had a hard time with the acting categories, and we learned (again) what sound editing and mixing actually are. (Timestamp breakdown at the bottom of this post!) For a deeper look at each Best Picture nominee, read Margaux's reviews by clicking here! We have a group chat on Facebook where we chat about what we've been watching lately and decided to discuss the #OscarsSoWhite issue. Click on to comrom to read the discussion! Join our live tweet chat on twitter on 2/28/16 at 7PM Eastern. We're @commonroomlive! Timestamp Breakdown: |

Surprise! You might have noticed we already did an episode about The Golem and the Jinni by Helene Wecker before. I wanted a do-over and a bit more of an in-depth discussion on the story. #AlltheTales was the perfect time to try again. A few of the questions we used to form our discussion were lifted straight out of the great online book club, NovelTea Book Club, run by our pal Kristin of My Life as a Tea Cup. Please check this thread out and the book club if you'd like great conversations and book recommendations. (Related: Kristin was on our episode discussing Amanda Palmer's The Art of Asking!) Find out more about Golems and Jinnis in pop culture and join our conversation on comrom.co!

We’re continuing our #ALLtheTales event with Catherine Elhoffer of Elhoffer Design! In Part 2 we talk more about stories and what it was like and now is like to be a geek. Our conversation lasted 3 hours, only half of which was intentionally recorded. So we broke down the 1 hour 45 minute recording into 2 episodes. In part 1, Catherine, Debbie, and Hadas talk inspiration, creativity, design and stories! Listen HERE! We’d love to hear from you, so leave your thoughts and comments on the post or @comromco on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram. Where to find our co-hosts!

Long time listeners and readers probably know that this team LOVES Potter (Potterweek is proof). So it was obviously very fun to have Alohomora co-host and vocal wizard Michael Harle join us on an episode. We told Michael about #AlltheTales. We mentioned our idea for a Once Upon a Time which really sparked some passion from Mr. Harle. :) (Related: Kat from Alohomora on WWW: Friendship is Magic, our episode about internet communities.) Listen in as Estee, Hadas, and Michael discuss ABC's fairy tale adaptation soap opera, Once Upon a Time. Some spoilers for seasons 1-5 and for the film Maleficent. Fun Facts: Find Michael here: Other titles Estee and I came up with for this ep: On Common Room we don’t have ads. We use affiliate links and sell merchandise from the art we commission on Redbubble.
