    #51 - Author Talks! // The Good, The Profound, & The Embarrassing?

    Join Kristen & Rosika for this extra long episode talking about out profound and profoundly embarrassing experiences at author talks. There are some strong topics included particularly the discussion of the genocide being committed against the people of Palestine, so… fair warning. Special feature tangents include: giving up on puff pastry, sleep regressions, multigenerational bread bakeoffs, toddler birthday party era, finding the ultimate use for hospital socks, love letters to formerly stoned coworkers of our youth, & time traveling demented turkeys.
