Time Out: A Fair Play Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

Eve Rodsky authored “Fair Play,” a book and card deck designed to help people dive deeper into essential conversations around household equity. After a powerful discussion with Eve in a recent episode, Simone and Daniel take the opportunity to play the “Fair Play” card game, exploring personal stories about gift-giving and breakfast traditions that reveal the unseen emotional labor in family dynamics.

We chronically undervalue the invisible domestic tasks that women disproportionately own. Eve Rodsky took this imbalance head on by authoring “Fair Play” and creating the corresponding card deck. She shares how we often view women’s time like sand, and men’s like diamonds. Plus, she reveals insights from her latest research — relevant whether you're a parent, a partner, or just interested in playing a little bit more fair.

In the first episode of Time Out, Eve and Aditi begin to unpack why it's so difficult for women to value and guard their own time, rather than to give it all away to others—and how the presenting problem (forgetting to put blueberries on a grocery list) is rarely the actual problem (a lack of mutual respect and trust between partners). Eve and Aditi share the tiny betrayals that kickstarted their Fair Play journeys. They are joined by relationship coach Matthew Fray, who went viral for his article "She Divorced Me Because I Left Dishes By The Sink" and shares his ‘in hindsight’ advice for getting it right.

In our season finale, Eve and Aditi bring all of the lessons and discussions of this season full circle to discuss what it means to live an “active legacy” – how we spend this one precious life we have to live, why we choose to spend our time the way we do and how it shapes the way people remember us. They are joined by Nora McInerny, author of It’s OK to Laugh and No Happy Ending and creator of the podcast Terrible, Thanks for Asking. Nora, who writes and speaks about grief, brings her perspective on legacy through her experience of losing her husband and what it taught her about empathy, time and the importance of living authentically in every moment.
