44 min - Episode 3: Divergent
OK people...we thought about what you would like to hear, used our smarts to create an episode, were (mostly) nice to each other throughout, told the truth about what we thought, and believe it or not, we were continuously jumping on and off moving trains while recording. That can only mean one thing...we're DIVERGENT!!! Fortunately for the rest of you one-trait losers, you can check out this episode to hear our selfless, smart, kind, true, brave, and SUPER SPECIAL UNIQUE thoughts on Veronica Roth's YA dystopia.
