Welcome to the bench! We write on the bench, we snack on the bench and we procrastinate on the bench. This episode is also delayed but hopefully worth it. We talk about our screenplay issues when it comes to the timing, spend waaaay too much time researching ‘As Seen On TV’ commercials from the 90s, which of course leads back to some lovely bell pepper memories. Then we lose our minds over some sort of companion book for this show – let us know if that’s something you want or need in your life, as companion books/CDs are apparently a big deal for us.   Promo for Mouse & Weens – part of the Podfix Network and super fun – give them a listen!   Join our #Benchlings group on Facebook! https://www.facebook.com/2girlsonabench Twitter: @2girlsonabench Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/2girlsonabench/ Support the show via Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/2girlsonabench Buy us a snack at https://ko-fi.com/benchsnack Follow and subscribe to the Podfix Network: https://podfixnetwork.com/

Welcome to the bench! We write on the bench, we snack on the bench and we procrastinate on the bench and it’s our very late January episode.
