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 patriarchal gender roles? And, of course, does gas smell like avocados? And are allegations made by alligators?

Customer Reviews
Dear the Karen & Ellen Letters
I was talking to Melissa who you let listen to your podcast and SHE said you give her free extra epiodes that discuss the letters for free. You never offered me extra podcasts, just the letters and the aftershows. If you're going to give free epiodes that discuss the show to her I should get some as well. As you know my guru was killed by gorillas in Shri Lanka, but the one that I'm now seeing said he can unspell these bad feelings for $100. He usually charges $200 so I saved you 50%! Can you send me a check to cover that amount?
You'res
BTW congrats for being the first podcast my husband will actually listen to with me. LOVE it!
