Episode 18: That Tricky Pseudonym Issue

Greetings, all you aspiring politicians and soulful piano players! In this episode, we'll talk political romance, holiday novellas, and voting. Plus, Shandy dreams of cable cars, Shannon dreams of Louboutin stilettos, and together we dream up the perfect Portland romance.
