#196 – Our friend Doug goes to many concerts, which is something that you can't quite do during COVID. Let's check in with him and see how he's feeling! In many way, Downers is an investigative journalism podcast, except our focus is emotions. Also on the docket: happy lamps, dinner concerts, someone's husband drank a little too much, and soil.

Plugs this week:

• Bandcamp Friday (Doug)
• Dinner with Hao's mom (Jack)
• Birkenstock clogs (Kate), which aren't slippers
• WereSoCool.org (Hao)
