The Democratic primary battle has stirred up many discussions between Second Wave feminists and younger women.  Amy Tiemann wrote about this recently on Women's eNews.  Today she talks to Deborah Siegel, author of Sisterhood Interrupted and the blog Girl With Pen to find out how we can continue to work together rather than letting our generational differences widen into a fault line that prevents us from making progress on our common interests.

It's a literary week as Amy and Sheryl talk about their love of reading.  Then Amy interviews Rachel Pastan, author of the wonderful novel Lady of the Snakes, the engrossing story of a young history Professor who juggles the demands of family life while unraveling the truth about a 19th century Russian writer and his mysterious wife.

This week's special edition of the Mojo Mom Podcast focuses on the primary elections.  Amy Tiemann and special guest Joanne Bamberger, Pundit Mom, talk about the breaking news that John Edwards is leaving the race, and their thoughts about the Democratic front-runners, Obama and Clinton.   What lies ahead for Democrats and Republicans on Super Tuesday?  Listen in to get two opinionated Moms' perspectives.

The Mojo Mom Podcast kicks off its third season.  Amy and Sheryl bring listeners up to date about their lives.  In the guest segment, Amy interviews Miriam Peskowitz, co-author of the bestseller "The Daring Book for Girls."

 This week's show is all about the "f-word"--feminism.  Sheryl and Amy talk about their experiences with the women's movement over the years.  Then Amy talks with Deborah Siegel, author of "Sisterhood Interrupted--From Radical Women to Grrrls Gone Wild" about ways that we can overcome generational differences to work for the benefit of all women.

This weekend is Father's Day so what better time to invite Michael Tiemann, Mojo Dad himself, as a guest host. Amy and Michael are teaming up to write a new parenting and technology blog for CNET.com. Stop by (parent . thesis) for ongoing coverage of new technology and its impact on families. With Amy and Michael both contributing, this is a true parenting blog with both the Venus and Mars points of view represented. Then Amy talks to novelist Lynn Harris, whose new book Death By Chick Lit is Mojo Mom's pick for a fun summer read. In this loving and knowing sendup of the genre, Harris' heroine chick lit author Lola Sommerville is a little miffed that when someone starts killing at the it-girl authors, she hasn't made the list. Lynn is a widely published author whose nonfiction journalism and commentary appear in many places, notably Broadsheet on Salon.com.

The craziness of the end of the school year has begun, and Amy & Sheryl are doing their best to ride that wave. This is a good time to talk about making self-care, even in the midst of chaos, so Amy talks with Renee Trudeau, author of "The Mother's Guide to Self-Renewal." You can learn more about Renee's 'Personal Renewal Group' programs by visiting her website, www.ReneeTrudeau.com

The "opt-out" phenomenon is having a moment. The conversation seems to be reaching a tipping point that we can only hope leads to change in the workplace. We know that life is more complicated that one simple notion of opting out, and we devote this week's episode to the texture and nuances of this issue. Amy & Sheryl take up the topic, then Amy interviews Professor Pamela Stone, author of the book, "Opting Out? Why Women Really Quit Their Careers and Head Home." Mojo Mom has given this new, incredibly thoughtful book her endorsement as "The Thinking Mom's Book Club Pick" of 2007.

Then Amy welcomes our latest Mother Talk guest, Lisa Garrigues, author of "Writing Motherhood: Tapping into Your Creativity as a Mother and a Writer."
