We begin exploring the role shame plays in our lives. We also feel guilty that this episode is so short.

We explore V-day expectations and failures and explore the tyranny of the national anthem in middle school.

We try to sort our attempts at getting healthier and what it means for us on our path.

We reflect on holiday travel and our recent experiences in a comedy contest.

We keep it light, but it gets heavy as we try to walk the negative path on the mic.

Hope is the topic again this week. Or is it dread?

This episode has everything: drinks, romance, and reader mail.

More Goals. This week: Do goals help you achieve your goals?

It's not what you expect... It's better! Or different. Possibly both.

It's our first non-episode... nonisode... negative episode... negisode!
