What happens when your middle school crush disappears from your life… only to walk past you on a New York City street 15 years later?
Hosts Elizabeth Laime and Andy Rosen join Plus One with Lisa and Morgan and tell the story of their unlikely reunion, falling in love, building a marriage and creative partnership, and being pioneers in the podcasting world with shows like Nobody's Listening, Right? and Beth's Dead.
Andy opens up about finding his way as a music producer while working alongside his wife. Then Elizabeth joins the conversation to share her side —including a moving story about her late mother that will make you believe in real life rom-coms.
