About

Screen Cares invites listeners to join hosts and long-distance friends Jennie and Sarah as they spark conversations about life’s biggest cares and the movies that make them better.

It’s easy to get lost watching screens. There’s so much content out there, and sometimes watching by yourself can feel lonely- especially if you're going through a hard time in life, or when times are good it can be fun to exchange thoughts on your favorite movies. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a friend to help you find your way and connect through the vast media landscape? Welcome to Screen Cares, a place for friends to connect beyond the screen. In each episode hosts Jennie and Sarah ask the question, "Why do you care about this movie?" and discuss the content that has shaped their lives, and share how they use movies to grow, learn, and authentically engage with the world. You’ll hear stories you can relate to, ideas about how media relates to topics like friendship, loss, self-acceptance, rebellion, and individuality- to name a few, and recommendations for what to watch next. Join the content conversation and find your way to your new best podfriends on Screen Screen Cares.

Co-hosts and long-distance friends Jennie and Sarah met in the playground of their children's Rhode Island pre-school. They instantly connected over their shared love of intentional parenting, dark-humor, esoteric cultural references, coffee, and their New England outsider status-since they were both recent transplants to the area. Life was busy and they didn't get nearly as much time as they'd like to get to know one another- although they knew they were totally each other's kind of wonderfully weird. It wasn't until life led them to move away from Rhode Island with their families to Texas and Florida- and then eventually Tennessee- respectively that they connected again over the phone during the pandemic.

About the Hosts

Sarah Woolverton-Mohler (she/her)

My Kind of Weird Productions, LLC Executive Producer, Co-Host of the podcasts Screen Cares and Weirdschooling

Sarah (she/her) is an always-caffeinated, quad-skating thinker and now, a Producer with a capital “P”. While her professional background was in the non-profit sector, Sarah now invests her time in educating her children and in producing podcasts. You can nearly always find Sarah planning trips to her beloved Rhode Island, playing roller derby or consuming spicy food, music and books with reckless abandon. Sarah cares about caring and believes that sending snail mail and being kind are unappreciated and dying art forms. Family, film and friendship are Sarah’s passions, motivations, lifeline and her foundation. When she isn’t chatting with Jennie about movies and “this thing called life” (special shout-out to Prince for making introspection sexy again), Sarah happily spends her time with her weird and wonderful children, her quietly hilarious hubby and her big, smelly dog.

Jennie Ziverk Carr (she/her)

My Kind of Weird Productions, LLC Executive Producer and Co-Host of the podcasts Screen Cares and Weirdschooling

Jennie (she/her) feels as comfortable camping and mucking through the backwoods as she does exploring museums and haunting coffee shops. Prior to making the choice to homeschool her children and help organize her local educational community, Jennie studied Art History and Film, facilitated early childhood and outdoor education, and taught middle school U.S. History and arts integration in Houston, TX. She has a passion for writing, cooking, and connecting to others through the arts. Jennie’s supportive husband would say she has too many books and velvet chairs, and her usually muddy children are often upset that she doesn’t let them have breakfast, second breakfast, and elevensies every day, but despite her perceived faults, her family is her home and she is theirs.
