Pretend Problems

by All Things Comedy

Chad Daniels and Kelsey Cook are touring comedians who also happen to be in a relationship with one another. They’re always trying to pick their battles when it comes to living together and working together. Every week, they open up about arguments they've overcome, communication strategies that they love and hate, blended family dynamics, navigating being apart on tour, and more. They also give dating advice to listeners who write in to pretendproblemspodcast@gmail.com and weigh in on whether or not something feels like a real or pretend problem. New episodes every Wednesday
