    Awkward Double Feature: No Christmas Gifts For You & The Roommate From Hell (The Final Episode of This is Awkward)

    After a far too long break, the final episode of This Is Awkward is here! We decided to go out in style and prepare a double episode for you all. In this final episode we are covering two very awkward final stories. Story 1: Ever considered a Christmas with zero presents? That's the reality one listener is grappling with this year. They're done racking up holiday debt but are stuck on how to break the news to gift-expecting relatives. It's honesty versus holiday expectations in this festive financial conundrum. Story 2: Then, dive into a classic roommate drama. A peace-loving college student is at odds with a new, snore-heavy, and messy roommate. Is this just typical cohabitation chaos or something more? They're weighing the options: confront, move out, or just put up with it? We're dissecting this dorm dilemma and need your take.   Thank you all so much for 3+ years of AWKWARDNESS!!! Both Allison and Chris have solo podcasts that they host on their own. Come check out and support their shows! Allison - Inspired Budget Podcast Chris - Popcorn Finance   Chris is also working on a new project that will combine This is Awkward with the short form Popcorn Finance Style.
