John and Robin Don't Have Jobs
by Robin Kooymans
John and Robin are friends who used to both live in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, in the far north of Canada, but now John is situated in Windsor, Ontario. They have both lost their jobs due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and as such find themselves with way too much free time, so rather than get fat and bored by themselves they have decided to get fat and less bored together by starting a podcast. They will most likely touch on some form of Pop Culture every week that is helping them get through this difficult time, and then inevitably make arses of themselves at some point in the podcast.
