This episode tackles a topic that was highly requested: traveling on a budget! More specifically: how to save money so you can afford to travel, and then how to save money while you’re actually doing it. But of course the ladies begin with their salty/sweets - Laura has a tale about toxic masculinity and she’s having fun with film photography, while Sara is officially saying goodbye to Wordpress and migrating her site to Squarespace, plus she has an exciting family wedding coming up. They end with some fashion-related recommendations.

In order to kick off season two properly, Laura and Sara obviously had to pop open a bottle of prosecco before they could really get into their chat. Laura had a relaxing summer but is experiencing an online identity crisis. Sara is worried about Gilmour (her dog), and she of course can’t help herself from talking about Taylor Swift’s new album. They both recap their summers and then go over some of their favorite things of the season while getting thirsty for Shawn Mendes and Brad Pitt. There’s a great voicemail with some fun questions from their friend Shealeigh, and then of course they end with recommendations. Welcome to season two!

It’s the last episode of season one! Can you believe? This one starts with a belated warning about the daiquiris from the New Orleans episode (they are STRONG) before going into salty/sweets. There’s a Lancaster focus because Sara just spent a lovely birthday weekend there (even though it was almost sabotaged by her period), and Laura is loving the Lancaster life but is in a dilemma about whether or not she will stay for the long haul. Laura also shares about an interesting dog character of Lancaster named Murphy.

From there it’s onto a full rundown of this year’s Feast of St. Pizza, which was held in Ocean City, New Jersey. With the help of some fun soundbites from the actual event, Sara and Laura break down each of the ten spots for you and go into what made this year interesting and special. To wrap it up there’s a voicemail from Sara’s mom, they give an overview of their summer plans before signing off until the fall, and give their recommendations.

It’s an intense one, folks! Laura is feeling that hectic end-of-the-school-year teacher life, she’s come to some sad realizations about her grandma, and she’s happy to live in a time of Game of Thrones. Meanwhile, Sara is digging herself out from under a huge pile of emails, she’s dealing with some negative body image issues, and she’s sporting a cute new haircut. Then the tables turn and they switch to the topic of New Orleans while drinking some classic daiquiris. Sara shares her top tips from her recent trip while they get progressively more tipsy, and then they end with recommendations.

Sara’s finally getting over being sick (ugh) and she’s been crying a lot while watching Queer Eye, while Laura’s been “left on read” and is planning to do more video work during her summer travels. This episode they get fully into their favorite food and travel media: They discuss their crushes on Brad Leone, Sara’s many favorite cookbooks, how they want to go to a farmer’s market with Alison Roman, complicated feelings about Anthony Bourdain, Laura’s endless love for Iz Harris, planning travel with the help of Instagram, and much more. There’s a voicemail from Sara’s brother about “charred” pizza, and they snack on cookies while giving their recommendations. It’s a packed episode!

We start off this nostalgic episode with Sara giving Laura a surprise birthday gift. They both had bad weeks, but Laura is looking forward to celebrating her birthday and Sara is excited about her updated pantry jars. The bulk of this episode is a trip down memory lane, with a focus on their ‘90s childhoods. In addition to all the classic ‘90s music, tv and fashion, they also discuss the Scholastic Book Fair, puberty, and what their Spice Girls names might be. It’s a fun one! Then they listen to their first official listener voicemail (from Sara’s blogging buddy @graylin_porter) before finishing with recommendations.

This episode begins with a correction about malt whisky from episode 4, Whiskey Women, and Laura explains that she found “her drink.” She’s also working on an exciting project but it’s stressing her out a little bit. Sara’s blog got sneakily hacked but Taylor Swift is coming through for her on the political front. After catching up they move onto drinking gin and tonics, eating blondies, and discussing London while doing some terrible British accents. Before ending with recommendations they answer a listener question about how they decide where to go in the world.
