HAPPY 150TH EPISODE TO US!

We begin with Man's experience with HIDE by Kiersten White.
The challenge: spend a week hiding in an abandoned amusement park and don't get caught. The prize: enough money to change everything. Even though everyone is desperate to win - to seize their dream futures or escape their haunting pasts - Mack feels sure that she can beat her competitors. All she has to do is hide, and she's an expert at that. It's the reason she's alive, and her family isn't. But as the people around her begin disappearing one by one, Mack realizes this competition is more sinister than even she imagined, and that together might be the only way to survive.
Fourteen competitors. Seven days. Everywhere to hide, but nowhere to run.
Come out, come out, wherever you are.

I want to explain something before we move on...right around the time Amanda attempts to dive into Doomed by Chuck Palahniuk, the edibles have fully kicked in. We can barely make out a coherent thought for almost 8 minutes between the fit of silent and tea kettle laughter, stomach pains, and the uncomfortable feeling of almost throwing up while tears stream our faces.

Man MacGyver's her way out of a locked bathroom, we recap our experience at Fan Expo Boston, and share a listener's awkward story.

First of all, does screen size matter? What makes an experience when watching a movie or show? The sound, the environment, the snacks?
Second, let's psychoanalyze ADHD as non-professionals, we know overstimulation can affect many people, but what about when it helps your focus? Some might not understand, but the more noise the better for Jo, just don't touch her. Her brain just can concentrate and absorb anything unless chaos is happening.
Now that that's out of the way, let's get to it:

The Four Leaf by Lee Jacqou @authorleej
Two best friends grow up together, fall in love, get married, and live happily ever after. But what about the one where the girl gets friend-zoned after an awkward attempt at making a move on her best friend? That’s my story.
More than a decade has passed, and while our platonic relationship somehow survived, I still cringe when I think about it. Like now.
I’m supposed to be getting my hotel ready for all the guests from the St.Patrick's Day parades, but instead, I’m staring at my best friend while he repairs one of my sinks. The memory and sting of his polite rejection years ago usually helps get my head on straight, but it’s not working this time. Not when there’s been an obvious shift in the air.
And definitely not when he just grabbed onto my hips, growled in my ear, and told me to run.
