After Talia picked Jamie up over whisky at a cocktail bar (more on that later), the pair discovered they both just so happened to author sex and dating blogs.

So do they. So tune in to the Get Down Low Down and wait for the pleasure to roll in. Explicit Sad Burrito Hour Cecilia Vicini Does the world need any more white people making podcasts?
