Annie and River have been spending over four years recording their podcast from various locations like their basement, closet, car, bed, and a fort made of chairs and a tye dye tapestry. Today River is in her self-made fort, while Annie is in the basement playroom. Inspired by other podcasters, we've continued to record, edit and post "sloppy, dirty, whatever". In this episode, we offer a few tips on starting a podcast and potentially sharing some more ways to get YOUR dream of podcasting up and running. 

We jump on the bandwagon of discussing AI–and contemplating if a non-human, soulless bot can possess passion or creativity like a living, breathing, soulful human. Is AI good, bad or neither? 

River offers some great advice about taking an adult 'time out' when "spinning". She also mentions why it is good to follow through on things, because no one else will do it for you. 

Annie mentions ways to set boundaries and pathways towards true friendships by deciding when, where and how you spend your time with friends. How we exist in this world is what we leave behind as our message. Are people actually choosing to rave at coffee shops rather than nightclubs and bars?? She also talks about an unexpected helper in her corner of the neighborhood. Could he possibly be an angel?
