In 2005, I received a stack of found, hand-written letters between two (stupid?) young women and their (long-suffering?) landlord. That gift would send me on a fifteen-year search for the truth. It was a comedic investigation that demanded some pretty complex interrogation: Who owns a story? How honest is our nostalgia? What does it mean to be a difficult woman? How do we engage in sexism and patriarchal gender roles? And, of course, does gas smell like avocados? And are allegations made by alligators?

Customer Reviews
Obsessed!!!
It started out funny, and now I just want to uncover the mystery with you. This is such an intriguing listen. A nice reprieve from my typical podcast listen.
Only one episode…
And I am already hooked!
Dear Sir,
I find it irresponsible you have released a podcast so funny. I’ve attached a doctor’s bill for sprayned ribs i got laughing. If you do not pay this invoice beofore the 30 march, i will have to involve my brother Tim. He has read every book by john grisham and has offered to take the case pro-se.
Thanks.
Jordan
