Old Chestnuts

25 episodes - English - Latest episode: about 2 years ago -

It became apparent to Reesa and Chad, following a failed effort to sell a superfluous microphone, that there’s no better way for busy married parents of a toddler to catch up than to start a podcast together.
Join them as they dredge up their pasts in an attempt to discover if they’re remotely interesting people.
If the microphone sells, the podcast stops; consequently, it’s asking price will fluctuate in accordance with their enthusiasm for this project.
