And just when you think you’ve cracked the code on May’s vibe, Hallmark pivots hard into m...

Another Hallmark Headlines episode is here, and there is genuinely a lot to talk about. Megan curated this week's list (she's chronically online, as Wendy likes to say), and Wendy is hearing most of it for the first time. Classic.
