    Teaching Mom How to Play Minecraft

    enAugust 18, 2018

    About this Episode

    For well over a year, the kids of UnpauseIt have been immersed in Minecraft. Do we parents know what it is? Barely. Do we want to play it? Hardly. Should we learn it anyway? Why not?!

    In this episode of UnpauseIt, the girls of the podcast dive into Minecraft. The 9-year old @FuriousGirl guides the 43-year old @LadyDisdayn into this world which represents the focus and fandom of kids all over the globe. The parents might still be trying to figure out why, and if that's something you can identify with, this episode will give you some valuable insight for why your kids freak out over Minecraft.

    Dumb Money

    A series by UnpauseIt | Admittedly Rachel was the one who really wanted to see this movie because it combined Reddit with Wall Street getting embarrassed and normal people actually profiting as much as the big wigs. And it delivers!
