Customer Reviews
And around they go!
Always a blast listening to April and Vanessa talk about some pretty important subjects on mental health, made palatable through mouth sounds and fried chicken and most importantly laughter. You won’t be able to refrain from laughing with these two (out loud on a 7am train commute in NY) and they’ll always make you feel like you’re part of the conversation, even if you're not...but who ever said talking to yourself was crazy?
take a moment
relevant social discussions brimming with warmth, humor, and yes, angst!
