We're kicking off our podcast journey with an intro, both to ourselves and Downton Abbey. Susannah gives a long but thought-out premise of the show that Hazel may or may not have been listening to, and Hazel makes some slightly underwhelming predictions. Susannah gets a space to vent about everything she went through creating the podcast; Hazel struggles to introduce herself. But she persists! We make an obscene amount of Parks and Rec shout-outs, and there's a short but spirited shouting match over Harry Potter. Subscribe to Susannah's Downton newsletter here.

*DISCLAIMER*

This is our complete and total first time doing anything even remotely like this. Hazel's audio quality is slightly subpar, and for like half the episode there's a very loud grinding sound in the background. That's because we're recording outside due to the pandemic, and of course our neighbors chose that time to mow their lawn. So it's a bit headache-inducing, but hopefully we're worth it. And maybe someday we'll have enough money for a second good mic.
