Hi everyone and welcome to Baton Paper Podcast. I'm Olivia Mentor and I'm Becca Freeman.

0:22.8

And today we are doing a different type of episode. Becca have you come up with a title

0:28.0

for what this is? I failed at that task. I don't know, maybe it's called three things. Sure,

0:33.3

let's do it. Would you like to explain what it is? Yeah, well we just got such good feedback

0:39.6

about our fall episode and a lot of the topics that we talked about in that were small topics that

0:45.2

we would never do a full episode about. So I was just thinking how can we create an episode format

0:52.0

where we get to talk about little things that we wouldn't necessarily devote a whole episode to

0:56.5

that give us a chance to talk about things like pop culture or I don't know many topics. So more chaos.

1:03.6

More chaos. More chaos to the podcast. Yeah. So we each brought three things to discuss. We don't

1:10.1

1:39.5

Well, I felt like they were a little fluffy. I was like, no, I think they're good. Okay, you tell me

1:43.8

1:49.6

is my teenage obsession with the show What Not To Wear and how poorly it has aged. Okay.

1:58.4

The second one is I don't think I've ever told you about this. My random talent of being able

2:04.0

to guess celebrities heights. Okay. Which may not be a talent because I tested it earlier and I

2:11.5

may be rusty. And then my third one is books I loved in high school and how I've been thinking a

2:19.2

lot about them recently. And I want to know yours and I want to talk about mine.

2:24.0

Interesting. We went very different routes here. I like this. I brought more practical things.

2:29.1

You brought chaos. I did. Hopefully it's not totally unclear what's happening from the episode,
