Clarification: the name of our show is From the Roundabout. Not “hello from the roundabout”. This was a mistake made by Zhou. Clearly, she got carried away by the excitement.

In this episode, co-hosts Dee and Zhou kick off From the Roundabout. They introduce themselves and talk about their current roundabouts - what they are, and why. Additionally, they talk about their lives as dog parents, as well as their jaded, sometimes hilarious, dating lives. Dogs and dating are a staple of this show.
