A Couple Takes on MS

In a slight stray from standard procedure, the gang had some pizza and beer before recording. The results were a little looser, more casual, meandering conversation. Thanks to editing, it starts out normal (except our comical intro joke) with Dan & Jen discussing the importance of temperature management for those with MS; including a discussion of bad concert experiences. Then it rewinds back to our pre-show warm-up chat that just became the episode.Topics covered in this informal Lounge Hour: Walk The Line, liking the art vs artist, concert experiences, The Wire, Podcasts, home renovation plans and opinions, and using your skull as a mic adjustment tool. If you like this relaxed conversation style, we have been keeping our pre-episode chats to maybe lump together as a bonus episode. Hit us on social media if you like it: Twitter: Dan&Jen – The Podcast – Ryan or email Producer Ryan at ACToMSpodcast (at) gmail You may notice a slight decline in editing quality, I (Ryan) had a bit of a week. I’ll hopefully return to my insanely particular production style for the next episode.

25 seconds of fun. I (Producer Ryan) needed a laugh this week and this was it, so join me in the fun.Even while I’m technically working these two make me chuckle constantly. Come back Thursday for the full episode!

Jennifer and Dan update us on Dan’s medication situation and how it may delay getting the Covid vaccine, which leads into the main topic; what is life after the lockdown? Are we going to be paranoid shut-ins (probably Ryan) or will we embrace life and enjoy society once again? Come on, that’s Jen 100%.

Dan and Jen discuss anger and frustration both from living with MS and other pointless frustrations… also, slightly mess up a Yoda quote with Ryan’s help.
