{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"Should You Need Us","slug":"shouldyouneeduspod","podcastDescription":"

An educational comedy podcast for the wonderfully weird.
Join Alex and Harlie every Monday as they dive headfirst into bizarre world events, odd historical twists, and stories you definitely didn’t cover in high school.
From the quirky to the downright baffling, each episode is packed with laughter, curiosity, and unexpected lessons about the human experience.
Expect strange tales, sharp wit, and a welcoming dose of community.
Because learning should be weirdly fun.
And remember, Should You Need Us, we’ll be here!

Meet Your Podcast Pals!

On a brisk Autumn morning in September of 1999, little anxious Harlie walked down the steps of her new school to start her first day of kindergarten. Looking for a friendly face, she approached another little human and before even asking their name, Harlie asked them what day their birthday was. To Harlie's surprise, their answer was the same as her own, May 16th. That little human was Alex. Little did the two know, that that day, a lifelong friendship was born.
