No topic is safe. Diabolically dialectical with engaging content and relevant information. This snarky, impactful, 20-30 minute podcast presents a new topic weekly to stock your social drinking arsenal with witty banter and sexy dinner conversation without disrupting your schedule. Long enough to gain valuable insight and short enough not to arouse suspicion in the bathroom when hiding from visiting relatives. This podcast is authentic and has hard conversations at times. Comments and suggestions encouraged at www.playingda.com or @playing_da on Twitter. Don't worry, I don't bite--not since COVID. Look forward to having you sit with me by the fire!
