In Episode 8 of The Extra Podcast, Bethany chats with acquaintance turned friend Christopher Pedraza, a friend of her brother and a struggling artist based in LA. They discuss everything extra from Johnny Depp, discovering they were neighbors in college, mineral water, and all types of relationships.
