After 5 years and 3 Seasons, we've decided to leave on a loving high note. This show has been an incredible love project over the course of 5 years, our attempt at a love letter to humanity. We both feel there is no other show like this in the world, and we are both so proud of the road map to healing we're leaving behind. We thank you for having us into your minds and hearts, and hope you start your own love projects while you still can. edit/production/opening & closing music by J...
