SYNOPSIS

Alex and Julie are best friends making a podcast (before podcasts were cool), answering their college's weirdest questions. But life itself is weird and when love enters the equation, they have to decide what they really mean to each other. From Chipotle dates that aren't dates to the early frontier of Twitter, they fall together and apart and back again.

AND THE ANSWER IS... is a Radio Roots Writers' Group radio play commission.
