On Christmas Eve I had a great video chat with Jon Fishman (drummer of the band Phish) about "all things Lead" (including discussing his experience with his child's Lead exposure). The video below is the third of three "Ten Minutes With Tamara" video segments from this interview. Please check out all three of the videos! You can find them on the blog (link here: tamararubin.com/2021/01/ten-m... ), or here on the Lead Safe Mama KZfaq channel. Thank you for being here! I hope you are having a great start to the New Year!
If you read only one Lead Safe Mama post after watching this video, please read this one about Lead paint found on 7 different baby bottles purchased in the United States on Amazon in 2021. Thank you. tamararubin.com/2021/12/simpl...
Part 3 of The Jon Fishman Christmas Eve Interview... topics include:
Parenting a house full of kids during the CoViD-19 pandemic
What it is like not working / not playing music during the pandemic.
Being a hermit in the woods in Maine (vs. friends living in the city now!)
How CoViD-19 is impacting the number of kids being Lead-poisoned (because of all of the home renovations happening with people stuck at home.)
Jon's thoughts on the fact that there are still Lead-painted baby bottles (and Lead-painted milk bottles) today. [He used to own a dairy!]
A conversation about advocacy.
Here's are links to the posts about the Lead-painted milk bottles I share with Jon in this video:

You can also check out all of the videos in the Ten Minutes With Tamara video series on KZfaq - including interviews with parents from around the globe (New Zealand, Australia, Canada and the United States are represented so far!) Just click the "Ten Minutes With Tamara" series link or hashtag.
And for a deeper dive in to the issue of childhood Lead poisoning, a. preview screener of the full documentary feature film that I produced and directed (with some help [on the production side!] from Jon Fishman too! - and music donated by The Who and Tom Waits) can be seen at the following link (fee-free / commercial free) - Note this link may be taken down if we get a distribution partner to help us do some final/ technical finish work the film and get the film on Netflix / Amazon, etc. (Do you know anyone in the doc film industry who might want to help with this?- email me: TamaraRubin@mac.com) vimeo.com/156169133/7915741044
