My Modern Life | The RML Show Season 3 Finale
To wrap up the final episode of this RML Show season, I do a solo podcast for the first time since the Pilot! In this episode, I talk about the journey of the RML pod, how my (modern) life has changed a lot since then, and I also drop some important news regarding the future of the RML podcast. Unlike my usual setting, there will be no ads or guests for this finale. Pardon me for being such an awkward nugget in this episode for I’m still not used to talking about myself for long stints lmao. Thank you all for sticking with me throughout this crazy ride & I really hope you enjoy this episode! All love & gratitude to each and every one of you. :)    Follow me on all my platforms: https://taplink.cc/roquesmodernlife   Support me by using my affiliate links!
