Our Midroll Life

Our Midroll Life

A podcast where two friends who don't know much about anything (but are determined to find out) banter until they get there. Each week, one of us proposes a topic (sprung forth from our mind as suddenly as Athena) and we try to learn enough to teach the other about it. You bet it gets weird. Check out the shownotes for corrections, links, and citations.

    Betrayal Season 5

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light.
