WIRTW #778: the 'a$$hole' edition

On this week's episode of The Norah and Dad Show, Norah and I play a few rounds of "Am I the A--hole" — inspired by my purge of our garage that resulted in all Norah's unused pet-fish gear ending up in a dumpster. (And, yes, we both agree that in this story, I am, in fact, the a--hole). We then dive into some recent, and ghastlier, stories from the AITA subreddit. 

We also discuss the fairness (or lack thereof) of exams, get an update on Norah's sorority pledging, and run down our visit to see Grandmom and Grandpop in Philly over fall break.

You will find the full episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music, Overcast, on our website, or through your favorite podcast app. And if you enjoy it, please like, review, and subscribe—it really helps us grow!
