“You’re only as good as your last performance”

Evan and Dan’s interstitial dialogue about their own relationships, and the relationships that others have had, are stitched together by Dan’s narration. It is a very human story, and it never fails to make me comfortable with where am I right now. (Always)

We only get 21 episodes, the podcast drops on the cusp of a second season-due to one of the hosts moving (away, not to the grave) .
