Heart Of Podness

I'll have what Heart of Podness is having! That half-baked joke must mean we're talking about 1989's classic rom com, WHEN HARRY MET SALLY...! (Ellipses required!) Join in with Will, Marc, and special guest Katherine Sisemore as we discuss days-of-the-week underwear, fake orgasms, and that central question of whether men and women really can be friends (which has high stakes, since we all consider each other to be friends). Plus, we spend a lot of time talking about Casablanca, Oklahoma!, "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off," the alternate ending that almost happened, and the Bridget Jones musical we might never get to see.
