HOBBY FARMS: Tell us about the podcast.
DICARLO: We have been best friends since the moment we met, and we spent all our time growing up talking on the phone for hours and hours. Looking back, I think it was training to start a podcast. When [the Covid-19 pandemic] happened, we still wanted to get together, so we moved our get-togethers over coffee to Zoom, and we started talking about what project we could do together.
