F For Effort: The Podcast

by Dylan Dahle

Hi, we’re Dylan Dahle and Ben Clarkson, and we are F For Effort. We will be exploring the unknown of what it is to be alive, picking the minds of people both known and unknown to us, reveling in their successes and learning from their failures. You might be thinking, what qualifies us to run such a podcast? Well, we’re two actors trying to make it; between the two of us, we’ve taken one sociology class; above all, though, we are just extremely curious people. Join us in our journey into the unknown... you won’t regret it!
