Yo! 2022 is wrapped and good riddance. The 20’s have been such trying times. Flesh ‘N Bold kicks off the first 2023 podcast by recapping 2022. Drs. Heard & Heard-Garris discuss the important events; unlike last year, there were SOME happy endings (not that kind, c’mon you sicko).

They are not lawyers but there are some interesting legal cases that shape this show and are resolved by 2022 and you should know about it! Kamala, Simone, and COVID-19, oh my! What events were most salient for you and what do you hope for the new year? Take a listen to what they think. Like, share, and discuss!

Producers: Nevin J. Heard and Nia J. Heard
