    1 - Meet Our (Handsy) Founder
    Jen Phelps and Valentina Rivera, two eager, gaffe-prone administrative assistants welcome you to the official podcast of the Sterling Water Company. 
    They’ve started the show to get to the bottom of a scandal:  an anonymous employee has written a “Burn Log” - a list of insults about this small-town water company’s customers and personnel. This sensitive document was leaked to the press and now Jen and Val want to try to get to the bottom of all the secrets in their office. 
    On this episode, Jen and Val interview Junior Fleming, the owner of the company. They learn some colorful local lore and help Junior fight his natural impulses to sexually harass them.

    2 - No One Supports Maceo Green
    Valentina complains about the difficulties of hooking up during corona-times. It’s enough to make them fantasize about running off to become (sexy) nuns.

    4 - Kenneth vs. Trey the Temp: The Showdown 
    Jen and Val can’t say enough good things about the new temp, Trey. They like him so much, they try to bump their regularly scheduled guest, Kenneth from accounting. But Kenneth won’t go away without a fight, so dueling interviews are held.
    While Kenneth has some pretty impressive vocal foley effects to share, Trey draws Valentina into his mission to help place oddball pets. May the most fascinating guest win!
