Alice and Deanna discuss the uncanny similarities between depression and the common cold, why “self-care” shouldn’t have to be said in a funny voice, and how ghosts aren’t nearly as prank-focused as they could be. Plus new features: “At Least We’re Not Still Doing This” and “Asking For a Friend.” Information can be fun! Finally: great podcasts you should put in your ears, and how can we find a cat that will let us bathe it?

“Mule Skinner Blues” by The Fendermen
(Sidenote: Deanna’s mom used to sing this to her and her brother when they were little. Explains a lot, doesn’t it?)
