Ep. 97- The Weirdest Goodbye.

Mon, 20 Jun 2022 22:18:01 +0900

Moving to another country is no small feat, and moving back is even more challenging. With that in mind, we've decided to close this chapter of Our Weird Life. 100 episodes would have been way too conventional, you know?

To everyone that's taken the time listening to our weekly podcasts- thank you. We appreciate all our fellow owls. We've loved recording every single episode. Who knows how we'll return, but you can rest assured that when we do, it'll be weirder than you imagined.

Today we delve into the experience of getting a new hairdo in Japan. We also take a brief dive into the world of thespians and their endeavours to stay in character, no matter the cost.
