Somewhere around the time when she and Lauren thought that watching Netflix documentaries basically equated to be experts on shit.

I stopped listening, but for different reasons. No longer commuting or going to work was a big one. Getting *way* too frustrated when I felt some *important* issue wasn't being given a fair shake (usually politics). Plus the drama. I get sucked into that way too much as well.

I download them and start listening on my commute into work, and it's just like it was 13 years ago when I downloaded Episode 2, there I am laughing out loud on the bus & getting the stink eye from my bus mates. Then I hear that Keith has a girlfriend and I think "What happened to his wife? How much have I missed?!"

Strangely enough, my path to catching up started with a random thought - something like "I wonder whatever happened to ol' Spooky?" So I Googled and searched the forums and then saw about Keith and Cat and then Chemda and Lauren and wow! So far I listened to Chemda's moment and Spooky's episode and I had similar emotions. But what really got me was the video clip from the 'sad news' episode. I've seen plenty of video, but I guess it was the humanity that shone through. Both of them went through some (even more/recent) hard times and it's a reminder that we're all human and shit happens and life isn't perfect. And it kinda melted away those 'reasons' I had for not listening. So I'm definitely queueing them up again.
Also, alcoholism? Guess I have more reading and listening to do!
