Joa poses questions to which Robin answers in her own unique style. You can't fault the girl for being herself! Check out what she'd do if stranded on an island or how much money would change hands during their discussion of sudden wealth—it's worth more than any amount of gold coins combined

I am sure you've heard people say that authenticity will always shine through no matter where they are, but this conversation proves just how true it really is. Shine Robin, shine!

Maybe it's time to try the audiobook version of your favorite book? Joa swears she hasn't been drinking…much. But Robin smells mimosas. The hosts discuss what makes a good book. Is it characters? Plot? Story? Structure? They chat, disagree and throw a few punchlines. Robin’s bruises will heal soon.

Joa and Robin talk about the sophomore slump in writing, HOMICIDE AND HALO-HALO . They also discuss why they want to be friends with Mia P. Manansala—both for very different reasons.
