Ep. 25: 'Heavy Friending' with Joe Barlow and Laura Lee Bishop

What does it mean to be a good friend? Why do we connect with certain people and not others? KXAN's Joe Barlow and musician Laura Lee Bishop started a podcast called "Heavy Friending" to document the process of becoming friends. From getting drunk together to becoming friends on Facebook, they've made some pretty big leaps in just a few months. It's a clear win, right? Not so fast, both of them say. Joe Gross and features editor (and figure skating fanatic) Sharon Chapman unpack "I, Tonya," the new Tonya Harding biopic that is making audiences laugh, cry and also grapple with the 1994 scandal that dominated that year's Winter Olympics. Former KVUE anchor Olga Campos Benz came to the studio to read an excerpt from her debut novel, "It's News to Me," a fictional story from the world of TV news, and Austin360 web producer Katey Psencik talks about what role dogs are now playing in the Statesman's newsroom in a Webb Report.
