We’re talking passy-aggressy teachers, oversharers who may have violated HIPAA, and the kind of classroom chaos that probably should’ve involved a lawyer.Relevant links: Our full show notes are at knoxandjamie.com/622Become a Friends with Benefots for only $1.20!

618: What to Watch, Read and Listen to in August Preview
In this episode, we share our smooch, marry, and kills for August. We discuss what you should give a shot (smooch), what you should commit to (marry), and what you should just pass on by (kill) during the most mid month of the year. Join us as we share what shows we’ll be bingeing while hiding from the back-to-school chaos, which movies are actually worth leaving the AC for, and which albums will chase away the ‘Sunday Scaries’ vibe the month incites.Relevant links: Our full show notes are at knoxandjamie.com/618Want to feel both seen AND terrorized?
