BONUS: Will We Ever Meet IRL Again? w/ the California Groundbreakers

We thought it would be the roaring 20s but we're chatting about why everyone is experiencing FODA as we reair Julie's episode w/ Vanessa Richardson from California Groundbreakers & Paul Eastwick, professor of UC Davis's attraction lab.
