Ep 311: The One Where Matt Got Covid Jan 18, 2021

Show notes

Yep, that's right: Matt has Covid. We discuss his experience testing positive, how we've been trying to keep Doree and Henry healthy, and how he's feeling. Then Doree takes over for the rest of the show to answer listener questions in a somewhat random order, because she's dealing with five million things right now.
