• Dolly Parton’s America: In a world where no one seems to agree on anything, how is it that Dolly Parton maintains her status as a universal favorite? In this nine-part series, host Jad Abrumad explores the appeal of this country music icon and pop culture queen.
• Heavyweight: Do you have a moment in your life you wish you could change? In this engaging, often-moving podcast, host Jonathan Goldstein leads guests on the conversations that bring them back to those moments, allowing them to take the steps to alter their path. 
• Smartless: In this hilarious, surprising, and engaging podcast, comedy kings and real-life best friends Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, and Sean Hayes surprise each other with guests and conversation that often takes a few surprising detours. It’s like listening in on great chatter among friends.

Conversations range in subject matter (from dating in midlife to fatphobia, for example) but all are equally compelling when led by the charming, straightforward, and lovable Cox. 

Chop Chop: Prep Your Veg & Fruit 

Use your hour to start your week off with an advantage. Not sure what you want to eat just yet? No worries. You can still streamline the work ahead at dinner time by washing, chopping or dicing, and storing your vegetables and fruit in a few airtight containers. Having them ready to go will make cooking (and snacking) much easier. Feeling motivated? Consider mixing up some overnight oats and your breakfast will be ready for the week.

Stay In Bed: Sleep In

Don’t sleep on the restorative powers of getting enough rest. (See what we did there?) It can help you to be more productive, creative, and efficient at work. And, according to The Sleep Foundation, “When you sleep, your body undergoes a series of changes that enable the rest that is vital to your overall health. Sleep allows the brain and body to slow down and engage in processes of recovery, promoting better physical and mental performance the next day and over the long-term.” So, treat your body (and mind) with that extra hour of shuteye and get ready for the week ahead.
