Sincerely Sidney | (the funniest) comedy narrative podcast

This is it! The conclusion to the Sidney Harshbarger's magical adventures in the future. Or, well, her future. Our past. But still! The end of an era, like when Tom Brady stopped eating strawberries or when Wes Anderson movies stopped being interesting(right around Darjeeling Express, I think). Sidney's learned the error of her ways, but she may not be in time to save Elton from the danger...

After her highly disastrous dinner with Elton, Greg with a C and No Sweat Six Pack launch an intervention to try to bring Sidney back from the dark side. She seemingly sees the errors of her ways and repents, unwilling to risk losing her newfound friends and all that comes with being an influencer. As the next step in her incredibly unlikely rise in fame and stardom, Sidney wins an Oscar in beauti...

Elton is dismayed at Sidney's casual disregard for him; that is to say, he wishes he had been invited to the sex party, too. Perhaps a little blinded by her newfound fame and stardom, Sidney isn't quick to apologize, furthering the rift between the two. Eventually, Sidney invites Elton to a dinner with her new influencer friends. However, on account of their two massive egos, every attempt...

Sidney very rapidly becomes a leading influencer, attracting countless devoted fans and companies eager for her to shill their junk. As part of her ascent into stardom, she and Elton go to an industry event full of similarly super powerful influencers aboard an exclusive yacht in New York Harbor. However, Elton feels left out when Sidney makes new...friends, and leaves him behind. Elton goes home...

Sidney, despite her best intentions, falls into old habits. That's right -- she's giving advice again. Except, this time, instead of writing in a newspaper, Sidney's dispensing advice on social media. Whereas 1961 Sidney couldn't catch a break, 2024 Sidney very quickly finds success. Apparently our modern mentality is more attuned to Sidney's misguided, barely coherent advice....

It turns out that Sidney's skillset doesn't translate to the modern gig economy -- except when it comes to picking up other people's groceries. Much to Elton's surprise, she's something of a shopping savant. Things go quite swimmingly for Sidney until one of her deliveries brings her to the door of her erstwhile pseudo-beau, Hudson. Sidney's newfound success goes into a tai...

A whole new world beckons for Sidney now that she's in the future. It all starts at Elton's hip, Brooklyn thirty-something's party in Brooklyn. There, Sidney finds something akin to friendship with June Winters, a dour sourpuss who encourages Sidney to make the most of her life and seek out romance. After a few false starts, Sidney does meet someone she likes. However, the strange, mod...

Sidney's dreams of becoming a real advice columnist -- and maybe having a column of her own -- are brutally dashed when she fails to give Benji Benincasa the respect he thinks he deserves. In no small amount of distress, Sidney flees to the New York Public Library, her single respite in the topsy-turvy, mean streets of 1961 Manhattan. Things get precipitously worse, though, when Sidney goes fr...

Sidney, as irresponsibly naive as ever, makes her case for a column of her own with the paper's famous advice columnist, Ada Oldman. And then she goes to the library! Are those two things related? Are they ever! Thus continues Sidney's tireless quest for approval and validation. However, and this may be a spoiler, things are not looking promising for our pollyanna protagonist ! Let's j...

We're introduced to Sidney Harshbarger, aspiring advice columnist in 1960s New York City. What she lacks in skill and self-awareness, she makes up for with overconfidence and can-do attitude. Whereas New York City in 1961 is a dark and dangerous place, Sidney is a bright, unyielding, painfully naive ray of sunshine. Even on her daily commute, she's inclined to give advice to passers-by, no...
