PLATE & PONDER: EMPTY NESTING w/ Jen & Chris Fenton
Dinner, Dialogue & Debate
Welcome to Plate & Ponder — where a longtime married couple, now proud empty nesters looking for a highly constructive way to occupy our time, pour a glass of wine, share a meal, and tackle the biggest stories shaping our world. She's an inner-city charter school director, elected official, and former school board president. He’s a media executive, professor, and author. Together, they bring decades of parenting, public service, politics, and purpose to the table.
From the joys and growing pains of an empty house to the cultural and geopolitical headlines you can’t ignore, this is a candid kitchen-table conversation that’s equal parts heart, humor, and hard truths.
Unscripted. Unfiltered. Unapologetically curious. Pull up a chair — dinner is served.

Empty-Nesting? Say what? We don't have that today! It's Thanksgiving, and we have a FULL HOUSE, so our son, Dylan Fenton, joins the podcast to share his insights from Montreal, Canada, where he attends McGill University, playing lacrosse with some living legends (lots of shoutouts) and studying international business (while also finding some time to be a bro at Zeta Psi)....
Serious topics today include (FYI, THE STOKE WAS SICK!):
AI use at McGill University...
The stressful experience of Car Buying (and when the best time of year is to actually buy a car)...
The differences between the USA & Canada, and what do Canadians think of us down South...
The beer selection up North and the beauty of the 5.9!
Oh, and of course, how much Dylan loves and cherishes his amazing parents...
