152. smells like a memory

hi hello hey — do you smell that?? smells like a new episode! Welcome to the next installment of our Sensory Series, where we talk about all the things we love about our non-visual senses! Last time, we discussed our favorite sounds, so this time we’re talking about our favorite smells.

150. hear us out: sounds

hi hello hey–do you hear that?? it’s a new episode! Once upon a time, we did an episode about our favorite things, which included a few favorite smells.

We thought it would be fun to create a little “Sensory Series” exploring our favorite things from each nonvisual sense (and maybe our least favorites too?). To kick things off, we’re talking all about our favorite sounds! Some are univ

148. breaking: people change (6 year podaversary)

who could’ve predicted we’d still be hi, hello-ing, and hey-ing 6 years later?! Wow, podience! We can’t believe this is our SIXTH podaversary. 2020 seems like a lifetime ago, and we had to take a beat to think about everything that’s changed since then. Since recording in our parents’ houses during a global pandemic, we’ve each made a myriad of changes, both large and small, all while keeping the pod a constant in our evolving lives. While “things change” isn’t exactly breaking news, we wanted
