Special Episode: Wall to Wall Secrets, Sorry!
5/14/202653 min
Listen. Sometimes we like to shake it up. So while we’re finishing up next week’s episode, I decided to open a sound file and spilled only secrets. This was an exercise in just chilling with you, and not editing a thing. Think of it as my exposure therapy + life advice and embarrassing tales from me, your actual biological father from the internet. Is it too long? Too bad! Is it too boring? I don’t know! But in these uncertain times, it’s important to remember that showing up is what matters. I don’t know, probably.

Oh, hey, it's the lady with no intro because this is not a typical episode. I guess a lady with no intro is an intro. Listen, listen, this is all secrets. These are all new Wall to Wall secrets. Dad, what are you doing? Here's what I'm doing. I'm taking a little breather, okay? I was just in New York for the Webbys. We won two, everyone. We, we won Best People's Voice for Science, and we won Best Science Podcast. That makes our fourth Webby, and I feel like I should be posting about this online more to brag about it, but it feels arduous to do that, and I know I should. I don't. I know people have asked, like, "What's your least favorite thing about the podcast?" And it's usually posting about it, but I'll try. All right. So here's the deal. I've been working on this episode that's coming out next week. It's about wine. It's a two-parter. And I, I didn't get it done in time, which is why it's a Wednesday and this is going up. And I thought, "You know what? Let's take a breather. Let's just chitchat." I know that the parts of the show that probably are the most real to me are at the very end, so I thought, "I'm, I'm gonna take the bra off of my heart, and I'm just gonna relax, and we're gonna do a Wall to Wall Secrets episode."
