Faris was inspired to create the podcast after listening to
Serial. Explaining the evolution of the idea, she said: I love to talk about relationships; that's all I want to talk about with my friends. And then I just thought, I kind of want a hobby, since [my husband]
Chris has been shooting a lot. So I started asking around to some friends, and I asked this technical producer guy what equipment I should buy on Amazon. And I just started recording my friends when they would come over. And then with my dear friend Sim, we started flushing out the whole thing, which clearly there's still a lot more flushing out to do. It started out as a dinky hobby. It still is, for sure—we don't make any money. We would love to at some point, but we want to know a little bit more what we're doing first. ==Format==
