It has sure been a while since we released an episode. After I get this posted, I will do a quick blog about what’s going on and record that as a separate mini-episode.

Episode 29 tackles the age-old question, “can men and women be friends?” Spoiler alert, no, they can not. Well, sometimes. I think we can all agree that it is better left alone. Kidding, of course, we agree on very little in this episode. We welcome a new co-host, Lindsey. Jenn buggered off on us, so we replaced her. Relax, it is temporary; she is …

First off, apologies for the delay in getting this episode out. The extra week is because I went camping and a large amount of editing went into this episode. Episode 28 started as our “HR Horror Stories” conversation but completely changed after recording and editing. After almost an hour of talking about Human Resources, I wanted to talk about di…

This episode features Marcie, who answered our call when we wanted someone to research Canadian Sex Scandals. She did such a great job that this episode needs to come with a trigger warning.

I met Scott Olson through LinkedIn a little over a year ago. Now a funny thing about LinkedIn, I never, ever mention the podcast on it. I try to keep some distance between my real job and the Loose and Conversational podcast. The concern is, folks in my professional life might not understand why I like to talk about the things I do on the podcast. …

I was initially going to title this “Brian L. – Legal Stuff” or something like that. You see, Brian is a lawyer by trade, and he does set us straight about a few things in this episode.
