After an unintentionally long break, Mike and Vonia are back with a lot to talk about. For now, they try to keep it recent, so Mike hasn't been feeling well, and Vonia started a new job. They speak a bit about impossible to ignore recent events, before discussing the Golden Globes and how they felt about various winners, and categories. This leads to Mike's favorite film of the year, and an audiobook that Vonia is diggin.' Vonia has some questions about television viewing options and Mike has news of an upcoming trip to the West Coast! They end with a few moments to reflect upon the passing of a very special and sweet presence that is certain to be missed. We love you forever, Beaches.
