In 2005, I received a stack of found, hand-written letters between two (stupid?) young women and their (long-suffering?) landlord. That gift would send me on a fifteen-year search for the truth. It was a comedic investigation that demanded some pretty complex interrogation: Who owns a story? How honest is our nostalgia? What does it mean to be a difficult woman? How do we engage in sexism and patr... more

  • Wayback machine like whoa

    Is it embarrassing that this could be not me, per se, but any couple of art school fellows I knew then? An uncomfortable deja vu, for sure. I love it!

  • My comfort show

    I have been listening to this podcast since it originally aired. Season one is absolutely brilliant. Season two is not as good but still enjoyable. I wish the different characters were explained more. I figured it out but still could be bette. All the random music and noises are a bit annoying. Love the school stuff.

However, I was already invested so I saw it through. I wanted a conclusion, which you hardly get. The narrator presence was ridic... more

  • Obsessed!!!

    It started out funny, and now I just want to uncover the mystery with you. This is such an intriguing listen. A nice reprieve from my typical podcast listen.
