In November 2019, Amanda was creating her own podcast called Your Mom Has A Podcast where she’d interview mothers in her orbit to discuss issues ranging from teen pregnancy to infertility struggles. One day she said, fuck it. I’m gonna ask Melissa from The Real World for an interview. She’d watched the show and read Princess Melissa and the seasons of our lives kinda matched up. Marriage. First kid. Breastfeeding. Second kid. Third kid — are we really doing this!? Long term marriage. Mid century modern furniture blah blah blah. Baby girl slid in them DMs (if you listen, you know now that Amanda be bold AF, fearless female, actual boss babe) and somehow, some way I too said fuck it after avoiding most interview or podcast requests for, like, ever. After all, getting into relationships with random strangers for public consumption is in my wheelhouse. I don’t know why exactly that DM was the YES but look at how nicely it all worked out.

Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/imperfectstrangers/support]]>4490true2fullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/how-to-fully-enjoy-this-podcast--45440321There are new episodes every Friday at midnight. So when Thursday is about to be over, that’s the midnight we mean. Once the show goes live, wherever you listen to podcasts like @applepodcasts or @spotifypodcasts, you hop on over to the Imperfect Strangers Instagram account to watch the interactive story which goes live, you guessed it, at midnight. There, you’ll see pictures to go with whatever our stranger-friend hosts are discussing. This can be random references and flashback photos from deep in the vault. Now let’s say you’re not trying to stay up until midnight to watch the story on Instagram. We have a solution for that! In the highlights section, you’ll find a button with the corresponding episode number and you can watch at any time! We’ve taken a loose poll and we’ve found that half of you like to “spoil” yourselves and watch it before you listen to the show. And the other half likes to watch it during. Some of y’all watch it before and after. Either way, it’s a fun way to really dig into the fun of this podcast.
Now. You’re like cool. And we’re opening our trench coats like "wait bitch. There’s more!" After you’ve listened to the episode and watched the corresponding story, you can meet us back here around 7ish pm EST on Monday night where Amanda and I go live to chat about the show and hang out with you, our Stranger-friends. Sometimes the chat gets lively and y’all don’t even be paying attention to us. Other times, we don’t even be discussing the show. But every time, it’s awesome. Yup.
OMG. There’s still more! If you need more time with your new community of friends or you just like Amanda and Melissa like that, you can mosey on over to the Facebook private group and get to clicking and clacking in there.
Still need more? Not a problem. We also have a Patreon! Pick your tier and enjoy bonus content, a newsletter, the Monday Night Lives you may have missed and so much more!
Got it? Cool. See you in season 2! Coming October 16!
