Episode 1: Cheetah Sisters
In our world premiere episode, we’re throwing it way back to a time before iPhones, Uber, or Instagram existed. We didn’t even have Facebook (gasp). Our friendship began in September 2006 during our first month of high school. While we both struggle to recall exactly where or how we met, Hayley’s first note to Becca helps to dredge up some memories about a “situationship” that occurred between our friend, Jane*, and her first boyfriend. No surprise to see we were meddling in our friend’s business even as 14 year-olds. You can read the note for yourself below, and tune in to the episode for the full story.
