About this Podcast:
Comedians and long-distance lovers Sooz Kempner (Doctor Who’s Doom’s Day, Dinner With the Parents) and Michael Balazo (Schitt’s Creek, Evil Men) live on different continents.

Each week, Sooz and Michael talk to a comedian guest friend from Britain or Canada about life, love and weird stuff.
