A Message FromNot a Slay in Sight for AlysonIt's hard out here. We have several oopsies to confess.
1. We did not realise either of us could record last week and assumed the other could not. Hence, no episode last week! For a podcasting duo, our communication is terrible.
2. Alyson (and by extension me) forgot to hit record on the video. So we are going back to our audio-only roots this week! Whoops!
Other than those two HUGE production slays on our end, we also killed it in our two weeks off.
