And, after almost three years of Bury the Lede, the gals sign off — for now.

Jen and Erin discuss the topic that has taken over the world: coronavirus.

They also share some important podcast news!

Jen and Erin discuss the Harvey Weinstein trial verdict, a new report published by the Winnipeg Arts Council and Erin's (and the world's) new reality television obsession, Love Is Blind.

Jen and Erin talk about this year's Academy Awards — and how it was the most relevant Oscars in a while, the truly Winnipeg flap over a new hot dog kiosk, and why "how was your day?" can be the most infuriating question ever.

Jen and Erin discuss the Arkells' incentive to get people to subscribe to newspapers and the new Taylor Swift doc Miss Americana. For Good or Gross, they try Timbits cereal.

It's January, and the gals are in full hibernation mode. They discuss the flu and how it can be fatal, Blue Monday and why the secret to surviving it may require a slight rebrand, and how Winnipeg has lost two jewels in its Winter City crown.
