Amid Life Millennial
Join self-described "acclaimed" husband-wife duo Bob and DeAnna Spoerl on a weekly journey through what it means to be amid life as a mid-life millennial. They'll take you to places you've never been, places we've all been and places in between that we may or may not yet know exist (or, maybe we're all living in a simulation, which would also be ridiculous but not *that* surprising).
