Go On Podcast with Jess Leitch

On this episode of Go On, i'm really excited to have Kelsey McClure as a guest. Kelsey has been making me laugh since 2007 with her silly (and often times inappropriate) humor and outlandish pranks. A writer, comedian, beer enthusiast, and all-around rad lady, Kelsey is responsible for the site Comedy in the Lou - a online hub for all funny things happening in St. Louis.

Listen in to hear about Chris' favorite film in the series and which film made me tear up.
