    Found this after becoming a Patreon supporter of Do Go On and loving the rom-com movie club episodes. Can’t believe this hasn’t blown up. And now I need to go find a copy of Funny Story to hear more about this Miles character, for research…

    Love this pod. Can’t wait to listen to every episode.
