  • But where are Marlo and Phil??

    It's been over two years since Phil and Marlo's last episode. They are very much missed and I hope they are well, however perhaps it's time to rename the podcast. A few random and unrelated podcasts have appeared and it's quite puzzling.

    I love this podcast so much, I especially love the easy conversational interviewing style that Marlo and Phil have. Everyone always talks about how love starts, but what makes a successful relationship last is such a helpful subject. Thank you!
