As we go into the new year, we have a big announcement to make, How Real Life Works will be having the 2nd season break. 2021 was an excellent year for us. Andrej and I created different content with various formats along with our interns. Furthermore, we also spoke to many extraordinary guests. Heading into 2022, the How Real Life Works podcast will be taking a season break. We will take this time to recharge and come back with new ideas! You can still find new YouTube content on our channel, but we will not be posting any new content through the podcast. Thanks for listening to us, and we will see you when we are back for Season 3!
