Episode 005: Get Me Away From Here

57:00 | Listen | Subscribe

I'm trying to recall how we first conceived of the premise to this show. Was it inspired by Josh's story, or Katie's? Was it my somewhat random confession to Nick, right as we were about to leave work to grab burritos, or did it really begin months ago when we first heard Jenny's piece?

Whatever. All you need to know is that warm, fuzzy feeling: "oh shit I'm trapped" perhaps followed by a little "help me," or maybe the other way around. And if you don't know, you're about to find out.
