The newest episode is out! Paul and Jessica are really dealing with some serious desert problems, and also the flux in their relationship. Jessica's stock goes back up a little in Caitlin's eyes. Oh and Caitlin describes a really nasty episode of hoarders.

I love the classic sci-fi novel Dune. My girlfriend, on the other hand, would rather cross a desert than read a book about sandworms. But she has agreed to read it chapter-by-chapter and talk about it every week with me on our new Podcast, "My Girlfriend Begrudgingly Reads Dune".
