Episodes

Episode 7: Two Truths and a Lie, coffee edition 18.05.2026

Episode 1: Tipping Culture (part 1) 15.06.2025

Wether or not ewe have a strong opinion on tipping culture in the United States, thanks for listening. Apologies for the sound quality; Dawn recorded her portion at the bottom of the Potomac river.

The episode so chaotic we couldn’t bring ourselves to label it as episode 1.
