Hey everyone! We're right in the heart of our move to Wilmington, NC, so thank you for bearing with us while we work toward this life goal :) This week, we have a re-release for you—now remastered, as I ditched the TTPD intro. For those of you who are newer to the podcast, we originally tried this series a while back. Even though it was a lot of fun to make, it never really took off. We still think it's an episode worth revisiting (or discovering for the first time), and one you can really sink your teeth into. Thanks for sticking with us through this busy season, and we'll be back next week with brand-new, original content! Love, Vicky & Casey P.S: Thank you to everyone who submitted stories!

Fun episode to revisit and rewatch. Not our favorite plot-centric but it's got good vibes and nice to see everyone getting along. Sassy Conrad is introduced, Staylor is unfolding & Jeremiah rising amidst angsty Bonrad nostalgia. Something for everyone!

The kids are back together in Cousins! But this time, its under rough circumstances. Jeremiah and Belly have stumbled upon Conrad. Conrad's trying to be the hero, Jelly is going with the charm offensive and Staylor is on a road-trip. This episode is full of sad Bonrad flashbacks but at least the gang (although fractured) is back together. Here's "Love Sick."

Belly and the boys are estranged and Conrad is missing. We are back for another rewatch and discussion about Love Scene! This episode is full of Staylor fun, Jelly set up and Bonrad backstory.

Today official TSITP news dropped and it was definitely the typical, good news/bad news. Good news? They are back to filming at the end of April for our favorite show. The bad news? Are they feeling underpaid for what this is going to mean for the studio at large? Debatable. Listen in as we share our thoughts and try to understand where this is coming from, why it matters and why it is even a thing.

Listen to Vicky and I discuss Forbidden Fruits after our sneak peek. Lola was great and you guys will enjoy it for sure! Thanks for listening and being a fan of the show! -Casey
Producer's note
Steal the structure. Not the show.
Keep the useful structure, then change the audience, point of view, and voice until the idea is unmistakably yours.
