RE: Crying For Myself & Favorite Chips Jan 13, 2021

Show notes

Dear Pennies & Pallers,

This week, our first letter deals with a specific kind of crying -- not for others, but for yourself.

Our second letter tells a tale that leaves out some key details, but ends up asking some very important snack food questions.

Plus: the theme song in a bunch of different styles, edible, and a whole lot more!

Sincerely,

Your Pen Pals Daniel & Rory

RE: Seasons & Senses & A Family Question - LIVE on Zoom with Patrick Keenan Jan 06, 2021

Show notes

Dear Pennies & Pallers,

Happy New Year! We started 2021 off with a live show over Zoom with a bunch of you!

Luckily we were joined by our good friend, Patrick Keenan of the Winter Sounds, who, as you probably know, created our award-winning theme song.

Letter 1 asks us which sense you would choose to only have for each season. (Whether or not you're allowed to repeat is a matter of debate.)

For our second letter, we address a more serious question about relationships with family.

Join us for our next live show! Get tickets at DanielVanKirk.com!

Sincerely,

Your Pen Pals Daniel & Rory
