    I love this podcast so much. Em & Christine have become my comfort listen for sure. Their banter is my fave. When Em asked Christine to dress their skeleton I was cackling. Anyway, I love them…and I’ve always said that.

    Great stories best enjoyed with some Fava Beans & a nice Chianti.

    (This Silence of the Lambs movie quote is based on the fact that the person prescribed certain antidepressants isn’t supposed to consume those two things.)

    I love these two and am so relieved they finally got to William Roll (I’ll have to ask one of his statisticians if he ever went by Billy) and pk abilities as opposed to poltergeists always being a ghost!
