    We Freaky Friday-ed

    On this episode, we're doing our best, as usual, at holding a lot at once, not freaking out, and building the new sonic world and the next chapter.

    Betwixt a Legacy

    On our 10th episode, we're doing our best, as usual, at detaching from the idea of how we thought things would look, loosening our grip on control, and multitasking. We're joined by our first guest, Nora's mom, Kitt Shapiro, for a conversation full of childhood memories, growing up as the daughter of Eartha Kitt, and what it means to rediscover and evolve yourself at any age. We apologize for the audio issues! We're doing our best to improve those, too.
