5 Things

Two long distance best friends bring you this weekly podcast where they discuss five things. Sometimes it's five random topics, sometimes it's five fun facts, sometimes it's the five things that have struck them the most about the latest documentary or television series that they're bingeing. But it's always five things that will make you think, laugh, or shout YES... because they're just a couple of relatable besties that have some things to say.
