Separated for Talking podcast

by Allison and Rekha

Allison and Rekha have been friends since kindergarten and are pretty great at running our mouths. Many a teacher tried to separate us over the years but we outlasted it all and now jibber jabber unfettered. We are pretty sure we are the only Fiji-Indian-American and Lebanese-American duo in all of media, but if you know of any others, we want to be friends with them so hit us up. Be warned, much like Rose Nyland can't shut up about St. Olaf, we can't shut up about our beloved hometown of Flint, Michigan. Come join us in our blah blah.

  8. #10 Sign of the Thames

    After a short break, we are back! Allison took a bae-cation to jolly old MeghanMarkleLand and had the vapors the entire time.

    I am sure our old English teachers would be proud to hear Allison tell a story with a dirty homograph at the center of it, and if they aren’t, they really should be. Rekha makes the unlikely connection between Katherine Hepburn and Three’s Company, and Allison reveals that she is a high class…
