Episode 233- Jon & Wendy talk to each other again

In this episode, we catch up with each other as the summer has been filled with surprises both good and bad. We talk about why we took a break and what's been going on behind the scenes. There's more "Ms. Marvel" and "Beavis & Butthead" talk than you'd ever imagine in an HR show and we answer some previous guest questions along the way. Silly, serious, and even in between, that's what we do.
