In Lieu of Fun: #DogShirtTV
It started with a coronavirus crisis. We thought people might need something to do in lieu of fun. And some people might need someone to yap at them as they go through this. We have a lot of cool friends. So we started a show. Then the crisis ended. But by then I was wearing dog shirts every day. And the the rest was the rest. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
