About this episode

Keep smiling, keep shining on this Pregame episode of the Calm Down podcast! Erin and Charissa begin with some tips for an aspiring reporter who is terrified of flying; emotional support stuffed animal anyone? 

After a little football talk during a conversation about how they can hear each other above all the other noise on the sidelines, they talk about how to throw a copycat off your scent and how to embrace the idea that imitation is the greatest form of flattery.

Plus, is it time for Erin to ditch the game-day backpack for something more stylish? Get their thoughts of Wicked: For Good and musicals in general and what to do if you are feeling intentionally left out of a trip with a group of relatives.
