93. Summer Q&A Part Two

It's been awhile since we've done a Q&A; around here, so for this and next week, Merritt is tackling listener questions on all kinds of topics... from her upcoming stay in New York this fall, to the latest in her backyard squirrel/cat drama, to where she is with alcohol and her diet, we're getting into the nitty gritty. She also spends a lot of time recapping her weekend in Austin and reviewing her stay at the Commodore Perry Estate, so she ends up only getting to a handful of the listener questions, hence the need for a part two. At the top of the episode, Merritt also reviews the final season of Never Have I Ever, her thoughts on the show Single Drunk Female, and more!
