Amy + Jessi - THE NOTES EPISODE (Part 1) - 1996

"What's in a name? That which we call a podcast by any other word would smell as sweet..."

So here's the situation... Our parents went away on a week's vacation–JK JK. But for real, we took a break after season one and reassessed what we wanted to do for season two, and lo and behold, we both wanted to move away from our initial idea of doing high school-themed interviews. And now we've realized that we need a new name. So technically, this episode is the first episode of whatever the new podcast will be, but we didn't want to lose all of our loyal fans. Please enjoy this episode and feel free to weigh in with ideas for our new moniker.
