215 - Birthday Parties Can Be Tough with Guest Host: Effie Parks

<p>This is the first episode ever that does not feature both Dudes! Sean is joined by our friend and guest host, Effie Parks from the <a title="Effie Parks" href="https://effieparks.com/podcast" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Once Upon A Gene Podcast</a>.  Effie produces short “Effisodes” on her show and one in particular grabbed Sean’s attention.
