 JOIN US FOR A SPECIAL LIVE RECORDING OF 'WE SHOULD TALK ABOUT THAT' PODCAST
ABOUT FEMALE FRIENDSHIPS!

Grab your girlfriends and join Jess Buchanan and Jessica Kidwell, the creators and hosts of the podcast, We Should Talk About That, for an entertaining, thought provoking, and maybe even somewhat uncomfortable LIVE Podcast Recording at AR Workshop Alexandria!

Regardless of whether you are a podcast junkie or just 'podcurious', this event is for you!

The Two Jess(es) will be talking about female friendships and invite YOU to join the conversation. How do friendships change as we age? How weird it is that friendships can feel the same at age 45 as they did when they were 13? How do we deal with the inevitable growing apart - or as we JessB likes to say: THE DEATH OF FRIENDSHIPS? And, of course, we'll honor those friends who have literally seen us through the good, bad, and ugly stages of life.

We want to hear your stories, thoughts, and experiences on this topic!

Food and drinks will be provided by Shannon Zerzan, popular food creator behind Anatomy of a Pineapple. This is a ticketed event with limited spaces available.

**This will be a live video and audio recording - aired at a future date on all our podcasting platforms, as well as YouTube. You will have the opportunity to be on the mic or can just be an observer.
