Claire Saffitz
It seems like a lot of people's experience of the internet has been being radicalized into white nationalism. I mean, not us. Obvi. It seems like our experience has been cute animal videos, peer-reviewed scientific papers about Covid and finding cool people to talk to on the show serendipitously, and that's what today's episode is! A random google search "Can I make homemade Skittles?" led me to w

Naomi and Andy in "The Rush Hour School of Relationships"
The response to Adam Pally's advice a few episodes ago was EXPLOSIVE, so rather than try to rush through a single comment in an intro, we thought, "Why not just do a Naomi and Andy solo episode where we can really put up our feet and take our time?"
