Amateur's Guide to Humanity

Amateur’s Guide to Humanity is less of a literal manual and more of an invitation to join a community of wandering souls ruminating on life and committing to live it both bravely and with a grain of salt. In this podcast, hosts and besties Amanda Rose and Kevin Ryan take an unfiltered look at topics on the human condition, sharing their thoughts, experiences, and what little advice they can muster from their short time on Earth. No topic is off limits and philosophical tangents are guaranteed on this existential journey broadcast.
