At long last, Laura and Colin finally made it happen -- for the first time in his life, Colin goes to a zoo! It's been over two years since they hung out in person, and they make the most of their Brooklyn trip. Even after an hour's audio of a surprisingly wonderful animal experience, the PodFriends sit down to talk about the best parts of their October Reunion.

Laura’s stressed and Colin’s grumpy, but the PodFriends manage to turn it around! After a busy month apart, the two drill into work and cooking as usual, but even talk about how to update the very podcast they run. Long distance friendship can be trying, but it’s absolutely worth it.
