You Had To Be There

After months of not being around each other, Nikki and Sara are in the same room again to record an episode just before they're separated yet again. Sara, having fallen out of love with New York City for reasons well-explained herein, is moving to Los Angeles but the ladies have much to discuss first, including brilliant, manipulative, and vulturous televison, the sly sexiness of Beyonce's album, and enough darkumentary recommendations to have you crying for days. One reason to quit your bawling, though, is that despite Sara's east coast exodus and contrary to somebody's prior reports, You Had To Be There is not ending; Sara and Nikki will simply record whenever they're in the same city. Admittedly it'll be kind of sporadic, but for now just enjoy this solid madcap ep.

This week, the podcast returns to its Brooklyn home for an hour of reflection on the fate of Nikki & Sara Live and the future of Nikki and Sara. In the closest thing that show will ever get to a reunion special, a good chunk of NSL's staff packs into Sara's apartment to laugh at favorite moments from its run and share stories of sustained disappointment and authentic joy. Fair warning, the ladies will be taking another podcast break until the new year, so savor this cathartic party of an episode and you'll hear from them soon.
