Twenty Something

Marlena and Danny are back with a lil' international quarantine special! We reflect on the new transitions we each experienced this past year since ending the podcast. Danny talks about finding a new foreign lover in Spain and Marlena talks about some steamy problems at her new job!! OOO, intriguing!

Danny and Marlena give a final farewell to the podcast. They reflect and reminisce on the twenty episodes they have recorded and the impact it's had on their lives. They're having a couple drinks while they do this, so be prepared, it gets a little weepy. Enjoy! 

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HAS LISTENED. Your time, attention, and feedback over the last nine months has truly meant the world to us.

Danny and Marlena talk to their friend James about some of their most wild travel experiences from pulling an all nighter at a sex club, eavesdropping on a foreign Tinder date, and talking to a seven-fingered local for three hours.

In this week's episode, Danny and Marlena discuss how they personally relate to Roxane Gay's memoir, Hunger, and this idea of "structural hotness" that praises some body types (like Shawn Mendes's) and shames others' (like Roxane Gay's).
