Some mornings you grapple with the alarm, and after a few unfocused moments you ask yourself: What’s going on today? Who will I see? What decisions will I make? And as you roll out of bed that adds up to: Who am I today? Multiply all that by the billions of people who lurched awake and asked themselves the same things and you’ll have a bigger question: Who the hell are we? Authors Melanie Benjamin and Edward Kelsey Moore take on the bigger questions (in tasty, bite-sized episodes) with their recently launched podcast, Who The Hell Are We? And they liven up the conversation with entertaining stories, references to good books (plus frequent cocktails). If you haven’t listened to this free podcast then you are missing out — two new episodes have launched this month — with more on the way! In Write What You Know?
