Jen Brister: The Optimist (2023)

(0) based on 0 votes
If middle age has taught Jen Brister anything, it’s that optimism does not come naturally to her. In fact it’s fair to say that her cup is very much half empty and she’s making no attempt to fill it. Can Jen work against her natural instincts and finally see the light? Or will she stay the same old pessimistic naysayer she’s always been. I mean, I think we know the answer to that, but let’s try and be optimistic.

Posehn 25x2

Posehn laments the recent loss of his heroes to death and just generally being horrible people. He also professes re-found love for a certain sci-fi franchise, and manages to rip on a few recent bands like the aging rocker he is.
