The Guinea Pig Girls Try Preparedness
The Guinea Pig Girls Try Preparedness. If this past year has taught us anything it's that anything can happen! Susannah and Kristen expand their knowledge of safety and emergency preparedness, as well as discover there is an art to building the perfect, essential "go-bag" (AKA "bug-out bag"). If some otherworldly or unexpected disaster struck today, would they survive?

Update:
In this episode, Susannah briefly mentions pop supergroup, The Postal Service, saying they no longer existed.
However, a recent fun fact from their Wikipedia page (and for a great cause): "On October 6, 2020, The Postal Service created new social media accounts for the band and teased an announcement for the following day. The announcement was a mock video conference featuring several musicians and celebrities urging people in the United States to vote in the November election."

The Guinea Pig Girls Try To Money
The Guinea Pig Girls try to money! In this episode, we talk about things we’ve tried or want to try to be better at money. Financial Gym, Mint.com, vanguard Roth IRA, QRSTUV. We talk to actresses and financial scrappy scruffy Gurus Traci Bear and Katie Mitchell. (Alert, so much hilarity needed to be cut from our interview because as you do when you’re New Yorkers, we all talked at the same time... which means, we understand everything we say, but no one else can. Just know whatever was cut was hilarious and brilliant.) And, as always, hosted by Susannah, Kristen and Paddington. https://www.tracibair.com/
