"For the sake of the podcast" is a humorous exploration of life, relationships, and the things we absolutely did not need to do- yet did anyway- because content waits for no one. Hosted by two witty sister-in-laws with a sharp perspective and a love for finding comedy in the everyday (and the awkward), this podcast proves that curiosity plus sarcasm is a powerful thing.
Join Carrie and Penny as they take back Eden on the final episode of season 1! Grab a book, a beverage of choice, and come along for the ride as they explore the concept of paradise in a quirky and sometimes chaotic way.
