This episode is chock full of updates! Margot’s latest writing updates, Jon’s secret COVID party, and then we talk about creating mixtapes in the age of streaming music.

Recorded two months ago, this episode begins with a recap of our first shared quarantine experience: Zoom karaoke! Then we talk about the newly woke people around us in the BLM era -- with a sidebar about Jon in Mexico -- and then wrap it all up with Margot telling us about joining her very first book club.

Returning from our long hiatus, it’s 2020 and we’re stuck indoors! What have we been doing with our time? Writing! Sort of. Listen in as we talk about our recent writing endeavors, our experiences on Zoom, and then a foray into our new cat lives.

Our first episode of 2019 and we’re here to talk about the new 52 Places Traveler, our respective trips to Portugal and Singapore, and then Jon gets into his “all Asians are basic” theory. Plus food views and recommendations!

It’s our last episode of the year and it’s been an exciting grown-up year for us both. Join us as we talk families, friends, and holidays as we eventually segue into some internet quick hits and Margot’s further driving adventures. Plus a brief take on our respective 2018s!

This episode is about making a happy home as we cover Margot’s recent move-in, her adventures in driving, Jon’s recent birthday New York trip, and then dive into answering the very important question: what is romance?

For the first time ever, we took a trip together end-to-end: Vietnam! On this episode we dive into the days we spent together in Hanoi and Saigon, and then Margot shares why she’s off social media.

It’s our beginning of 2018 episode, where we cover our respective New Year’s Eves, future travels for both of us (and together!), and give some insight into our current personal fashion trends, aka skinny ties!

We talk about the iOS 11.1 release that brought us a whole batch of new emoji. Then we leap into the NY Times travel writing gig that Margot recently applied for, and we end with a first take on Medieval Times. [Note: Recorded in November]

It’s an episode of rebrands for The Redo! Margot starts down a new path with her writing while Jon has now become a homeowner. We also review Margot’s recent trip to an exotic locale: Detroit…

Join us as Jon is invigorated by a recent trip to New York and Margot tries her hand/legs at San Francisco’s Bay to Breakers race. We also talk about trying to set up friends in relationships and then clean up with a chat about outdated memes that still make us laugh.

We’re finally caught up to semi-recent events as we get into Margot’s trip to Hawaii, bringing plus ones to weddings, and showing off “your places” to significant others. Then we segue into Jon’s recent volunteering ventures, and conclude with some talk about wood chopping and woofing.

We haven't talked in a few months so it’s a catch up to start — with all kinds of exciting news — and then dive into our 2017 mind maps, Margot’s trip to Costa Rica, and then wrap up with our shared weekend in Oakland and San Francisco, the most important part being: The Impossible Burger!
