Show Notes for Season 1, Episode 1: Why Clean Your Room?


Sponsor: Anchor.fm

Alethea explains why she decided to start a podcast about cleaning, organizing, and the struggle/satisfaction of managing stuff.

Listen While You Clean:
My favorite music of 2020: The Beths - Jump Rope Gazers on Spotify

That column from NYT's Modern Love - "Making a Marriage Magically Tidy" by Helen Ellis (illus. Brian Rea)

Leigh Bardugo (by the way, if you have not yet read any of her Grishaverse novels, catch up! Shadow and Bone premieres on Netflix in April 2021 and includes characters/plots from all but one of her series).

Take a before photo of your space -- make sure there's nothing of a private nature, like your home address or the like, or any humans in the photo who have not/are unable to consent to being included in the image. 

Clean up, then take an after photo. You can take video too, and share multiples of each, since Instagram allows up to 10 photos or videos in a multi-media post. 

You can tell us whatever you want in the captions, but make sure you put the hashtag #cleanyourroompodcastchallenge in there somewhere! We might choose to share/repost some posts and stories as well if your profile is public.

You can send me an audio message at https://anchor.fm/cleanyourroompodcast/message and I might play it and answer it on a future episode.

I'm not yet scheduling guest appearances from people I don't know personally. If you are someone I know from pre-podcast, please reach out. If you are someone I don't know... reach out anyway! I'd be happy to hear from you. Email info@cleanyourroompodcast.com.
