About this listen

 Welcome to ITAT! On each episode, best pals Abby and Alli seek to answer that age-old friendship question: "Is this a thing?" From arguing with a pet and weird food icks to crying at your child's preschool and swag addictions, we're unpacking the personal, vulnerable (often absurd) and making it universal. Plus, we're laughing, yapping, and attempting to save the world along the way!
