Not to be confused with Fire of Love, about the same people, but made by Sara Dosa.\\xa0\\n\\nJulia: Endorsing the third season of Never Have I Ever. It\\u2019s such a good show. Sometimes I take for granted the variety of things being made.\\xa0\\n\\nStephen: Two things: 1. I am comically late on Better Call Saul. 2. Sam Gendel is a young L.A. jazz guy with a DGAF attitude towards even the music he makes, in a weird way. The album is called blueblue. Just amazing.\\xa0\\n\\nPodcast production by Cameron Drews.
